Hello Shaz
I would love to hear your opinion on 3D and all the talk around it
My thoughts on the talk around it is; "wow, well this is a load of garbage" (no offence to any friends I may have who don't like the song I just disagree that its a terrible song)
Alright. 3D. Let's talk. My thoughts. First, what's with the fucking homeless trousers??
Tumblr media
I hate rich people 😭😭😭😭 if I wear this people will wonder why I didn't go back home to change after I fell in mud 😪
Anyhu, before i even say a thing. We should probably all try to remember that JK said this
(Thanks @chicknbunny13)
Yeah sure, even if he doesn't write a song, he may resonate with it. But not everything he does is a reflection of his actual life. This one, is for the Jikook antis btw. This is why my anons are still off. People, I dont have the energy for antis rn. JK sang 'girl' so what? This topic is super old and tired and consider it officially retired from this blog. I'm sooooo over it 🥱🥱🥱🥱
Now that we have that out of the way let's tackle the fact that our JK is a grown, grown adult. I don't need to bring back the live where he told people he's an adult and he is almost 30 and he will do what he wants to do. And if he wants to sing about this, that's exactly what he will sing about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my,
Tumblr media
Even Jimin knows all about it
Tumblr media
Tweet
BAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!
Let is be known i am choosing to take that sentence literally. I think JK just means him, the girl, with champagne and confetti. I really don't think it means anything else here. But, seeing as this is another sex song, I won't put it past him.
Anyone else notice a recurring theme here?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay then. 😳
Also shout out to this random kid with the horse
Tumblr media
I can't be the only one who has no clue what his point was 😂😂😂
While we are on the champagne topic,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean....
Tumblr media
Make no mistake, SEVEN and 3D are singing about the same thing. If SEVEN was in your face, 3D is subtle. But they are both just talking about sex here. Which is why it doesn't make sense to me why people are so upset??? As a person who likes Harlow and has heard his songs before, this did not shock me one bit. There is nothing wrong with this song. It is meaningless and shallow but guess what, thats the type of music the GP is listening to rn. I understand why Asians have an issue with this line
Tumblr media
And I can respect that. I don't have to understand it, but if Asians say its offensive, then its offensive. In which case I think that's just ignorance on Harlow's part. The people behind the song and JK himself are not going to okay something degrading. So it is of my opinion that people are reading too much, way too much into something that aint even meant to be deep.
It's a song, about sex. The only thing deep about it, is the holes that will be getting penetrated.
Tumblr media
This song doesn't require to be analysed. Okay, maybe when trying to decipher the analogies being used but that's it. JK has one agenda and one agenda only; release music that the general public will devour, get his name out there and be a huge pop star. And it is working.
Tumblr media
Cue Boracity's new video about each member and who their target audience are for each solo project
youtube
JK did not write these songs. If he did I'm sure they would have more meaning. But that's not what he's aiming for rn. Right now the man just wants to put out something that he knows will sell. Wants to put out something that will be a hit. And 3D is exactly that. Just like SEVEN. Mans was asked for the meaning of the song and by his answer, I'm not sure even he knows.
Tumblr media
What??
Tumblr media
Did anyone understand that???? If you did, break it down for me coz I did NOT understand that 😂😂
This song has no meaning. Its shallow, catchy, easy to remember and move to. Enough with trying to complicate shit! It ain't that deep. Period.
JK cared more about the choreo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Jack is calling himself a whore for wanting 4 women, JK is busy dancing throughout. So I will listen to JK and enjoy the song and choreo. Because there is nothing in the lyrics and there was never intended to be.
Idk why y'all mad when we stan a consent king:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personally I dont have time to be angry because 1) i see no reason to be, and 2) i am too busy admiring JK's body proportions 🤤🤤
Tumblr media
Damn, Jimin's man is hot!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We got posted on r/fdc let’s discuss.
So we knew this was going to happen, and rather then being sad about this, we’d like to point out flaws in the arguments. Obviously warning for fake claiming.
also warnings for: talks about trauma and abuse, splitting, mental health episodes, psyche wards, ableism, making a joke out of exorcisms.
Tumblr media
First off, “disorder salad” on that introduction post we only talked about things we were medically recognized as having or diagnosed with. Also the “it’s always the anime ones” it’s a picrew? A lot of Picrews are in a anime style, and if you go to Louise’s actual alter intro she uses not just picrews.
Tumblr media
This one is just making fun of us. I don’t think we have ever fully posted why we are so connected to the character, but I’ll explain now. So when we were little we went through a lot of abuse and trauma. We had a lot of DVDs and a couple were CareBears. And we felt safe when we watched silly little characters like that. It brought us relief. We aren’t sure why we are so attached to Swift Heart specifically, but we have a little who is obsessed with the color blue and rabbits that formed around that time. We even own the original 80s plush which we found thrifting and means so much to us, plus a few other things of the character. We named our system this, not only because it represents our trauma, but also it represents safety, a light in the dark.
Tumblr media
When did we self diagnose???? Also in that post we state that we intend to talk about the bad sides. We don’t think this is fun. Yes we portray ourselves a certain way, but we actually have constant flashbacks, panic attacks, and BPD episodes. It’s sometimes a daily thing. For around 2-3 weeks we would split at least once a day. We don’t think thats fun. But also sometimes you can enjoy life and enjoy being plural. When you live like this you learn to enjoy what you have and what you are living with. If we didn’t we wouldn’t survive. How parasocial do you have to be to think A TUMBLR ACCOUNT shows how we are 24/7.
Going back to the Self Diagnosis thing, We were being treated for DID before anyone put a label on it. We were talked to about “how when someone has many parts of them, sometimes fusion can help them feel more whole.” And asked when dissociating and acting strange who we were regularly asked who we where. When we we’re 15, we had gone to the Psyche ward for the 2nd time, and they couldn’t diagnose us, because of our age at the time, but they strongly suggested we get tested for it when we were old enough. And to get them to recommend anything, they have to talk to all the therapists, doctors, and psychologists, especially the ones who work with you. It’s been years since then, and guess what? We still have DID!
Finally the last claim out of the first comment, the Sub-System thing, that wasn’t in the original post, and I’m unaware who edited it in, but the reason we are confused if they are a subsystem, is because they are plural as it’s where dormant alters are stored. They speak as one and it’s quite strange. Not sure how to explain it.
Okay, comment 2:
The difference between DID and OSDD-1 in the DSM-5 is it’s nearly DID but isn’t quite. (Bad explanation, but these people need simple explanations) often times, it’s the alters are not distinct enough from the host, or a lack of blackout amnesia. This isn’t always the case but that’s what they were referring to. Also have you read the DSM-5’s entry on DID and OSDD-1?.. We have, many times actually. Guess what? it’s purposefully vague FOR A REASON. Because disorders are complex and wouldn’t be able to fit everyone if it was to specific.
Tumblr media
This is just ableism. We have been told this by people and our life (luckily nothing was done), and we have heard stories about systems going through this. This stuff is incredibly traumatizing to the people who go through it. This kind of rhetoric being treated as a joke is disgusting.
Tumblr media
We aren’t online everyday (also you, the person who commented this, have posted 10 times in the last 11 hours)
The stuff we are “faking” are often co-morbid with DID?!?!
Tumblr media
I’m pretty sure this comment is trying to be like “they are doing it for attention to deal with their trauma that’s so sad 🥺🥺🥺”
If that’s the case, you are adding onto the problem
if you believe us and feel bad for us, thanks, but posting it on that subreddit just boost the post which can lead to harassment.
Tumblr media
That’s literally the words that was told to us. By our former therapist. We believe it’s C-PTSD, but we put that instead of that because some reason we struggle to believe we have PTSD more then we do DID at this point.
Anyway, yeah, we’d thought we debunk/explain why the argument they have is stupid, they have a platform, but so do we.

MisterJ: Watch your tone.
rem.ix: i dont have to watch shit
LogicalLogan: Janus, stop antagonizing him.
MisterJ: I'm not antagonizing him, I'm correcting him. Are you all seriously okay with being spoken to like this?
Emo.Ticon: he's not being unreasonable j he's concerned about his brother
pat.pat: I mean, it's not great, but I understand it.
LogicalLogan: We all know how protective Roman is of Remus, it makes sense that the reverse would be true.
MisterJ: I suppose you're right. Still.
rem.ix: look
rem.ix: ro is the most important person in the world to me
rem.ix: i cant remember the last time he just did something for himself and wasnt guilty about how it affected me even if it didnt at all
rem.ix: and he seems to really care about all of you and he likes spending time with you
rem.ix: lately hes been really really stressed about school and work and everything and having all of you is great but hes worried about whatll happen if he picks one of you over the others or if you guys find out about each other
rem.ix: and this is kinda the first thing hes let himself have since he officially got custody of me
rem.ix: so
rem.ix: yeah
LogicalLogan: Thank you for sharing all of that with us, Remus. I understand your concern.
Emo.Ticon: we get it, the last thing we wanna do it make roman's life harder
pat.pat: Aww, that makes complete sense!!! I would be concerned too!!
MisterJ: I get that. I'm sorry if it felt like I wasn't taking you seriously, Remus. You're right, I do care for Roman very deeply and I want to support him as best I can.
rem.ix: sorry if i was being too rude
MisterJ: No hard feelings?
rem.ix: ye we good
Emo.Ticon: wait so is our consensus basically to not get butthurt when roman picks one of us? cause that sounds a bit too ya novel for me
pat.pat: Yeah, that feels weird.
MisterJ: The name of this conversation wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it, Remus?
rem.ix: i mean i dont know if any of you are poly and im not suggesting you all date ro at the same time
rem.ix: unless?
Emo.Ticon: you are 100% exactly like roman described you holy shit
MisterJ: I'm not sure if I agree with that either.
LogicalLogan: I have an idea.
***
Honestly, just watching Roman's face as he walks through the door is enough of a reward for Remus. He almost drops his backpack from shock.
"…Re?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Why are there four extra people in our apartment?"
Remus looks around. Logan and Janus are on the couch, looking over at Roman in the doorway. Patton and Virgil are in the kitchen; Patton's looking in the fridge and Virgil's toying with the blender someone gave them as a housewarming gift that they never used. "You said I could invite people over for a movie night."
"I thought you meant your friends," Roman says quietly and Remus shrugs.
"Your friends are my friends, right?" He looks at the others. "We're friends, right?"
"Sure."
"Yeah, I think so."
"We're friends!"
"That's correct."
"See? All friends. Come help us decide what we're watching, I wanna see the new Puss in Boots, but Janny wants to see that thriller thing."
"It's the next John Wick."
Roman mouths Janny and just blinks. Then he swallows and carefully sets down his backpack, opening the door and jerking his head outside. "Remus, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Yeah, he probably should've seen this coming. He gets up from the table and goes, ducking under Roman's arm out to the hallway. Roman makes sure his keys are in his pocket and calls out a quick One moment, please!
He shuts the door and just slumps against it, breathing hard.
"What's up?"
"Remus, what's going on?"
"We're trying to figure out what movie to watch. I suggested pizza 'cause we don't have enough for a big pasta bake and Patton and Virgil decided they were gonna see if we could make it work, but—"
"Remus."
At his brother's now is not the time to fuck with me voice, he gives in. "Ro, you've been so stressed recently, I know you have."
"And so you thought it would be a good idea to invite all of them over at once? Re, our apartment isn't even clean, we don't have much food left from grocery runs, we—"
"Ro, they care about you! You said you told them all stuff and they still cared—"
"It's one thing to say you care, it's another to actually come see it!" Roman scruffs a hand over his face. "God, Remus, why didn't you ask me?"
"Because I knew you'd say no!"
"Yes! For good reason!" He glances at the door and lowers his voice a bit. "Why did you do this? Are you—is it because I haven't been spending as much time with you because of them? I'm—I'm sorry, Re, I just—"
"What? No, no, that's not it, I—fuck, Ro, sit down before you pass out."
Roman collapses so quickly Remus almost cries out. But he's fine, he's just got his head in his hands. Remus cautiously sits down next to him, their shoulders resting together like they did when they were smaller, like they did in the court room, like they did when they first moved in here. It only takes a second for Roman to sling his arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer.
There's nowhere safer for him to be.
"I didn't invite them over because I wanted to embarrass you," he mumbles, fiddling with the hem of his shirt, "I invited them over because I know you've been stressed about all of them. They—it's not charity, Ro. I know you worry about it 'cause of—well, them—"
"I know."
"—but they really like you, Ro. Like, they all really care about you. And I…I dunno, I just wanted you to see that."
He shifts so he can look up at Roman's face.
"You try and do all of this on your own and you can't. You really can't. I know—I know you try and you do so much and I know you. I know you won't let me help 'cause you want me to be a kid still—"
"You are a kid."
"—but you can't do it on your own! And you're not alone, you've got me, you've got friends—you've got all of us. I wanted you to see that."
Roman looks at him with that expression he gets sometimes where he just looks at him like he loves him so much and it makes Remus's throat close a bit because he does. He really, really does and fuck, Remus loves him too.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask you," he mumbles, looking down, "do you…do you want them to go?"
"No," and shit, Roman's hoarse which means they're both about to start crying, "they…they can stay."
"…I like 'em, Roro. They're good."
A strangled laugh. "Yeah. I like them too."
"Which one's your favorite?"
A louder laugh and Roman squeezes him closer. "You're my favorite. Always will be."
"You don't get a choice with that."
"Yeah, I do," Roman says softly and shitfuck he can feel the tears forming, "and I make it every day. I'll keep making it, too."
"Goddamnit, you're gonna make me cry."
"Join the club, little octopus."
Well, that's a good enough invitation. Remus turns and wraps his arms and legs around his brother, holding him like he'll fall off the world if he lets go. Roman holds him back just as tightly, the top of his head starting to get damp. They both sniffle and try and pull the other closer.
"I love you, Re. So much. Thank you."
"I love you too, Roro."
They sit there for another minute before Roman pulls back and wipes his face. "God. You made me cry and now I've gotta go in there and talk to them? How dare you?"
"It's not my fault you're a sappy sack of shit!"
"Yes, it is!" Roman ruffles his hair. "And you're the one who wants to watch the new Puss in Boots movie, that's all sap, no tree."
"What, so you don't wanna watch it either?"
"I didn't say that."
"Ha!" Remus crows triumphantly, smacking Roman's shoulders lightly as Roman tries to grab him. "I knew it!"
"C'mere, you—" Roman throws him over his shoulder— "there."
"Hey! Put me down!"
"Nope. Wha—hey! Don't pull my hair!"
"Put me down!"
"Fine, fine." The moment Roman sets him on his feet, he almost sweeps him off them again, hugging him so tightly he can't breathe. "I have the best brother in the world."
"No," Remus manages, trying to hold Roman back, "I do."
"Tied for first?"
"Can we order pizza?"
"You got the money for it?"
"Make one of your boyfriends do it."
"They're not my boyfriends!"
"Yet."
"Re!"
"What? Go ask them!"
"No." Roman lets him go, hands on his hips. "We're gonna go inside, pick a movie, and maybe order pizza. Deal?"
"Deal!"
Roman softens a bit, reaching out to ruffle his hair. Remus shakes his head like a wet dog, making it messier on purpose until Roman laughs. He glances at the door and puts the key in the lock, opening it and striding back inside.
"Sorry about that."
"No worries," Logan says, "I think Patton and Virgil have reached a consensus."
"Pizza," Virgil proclaims, clapping his hands, "on account of I'm a lazy college student and I want pizza."
"I got it," Patton says, already pulling out his phone, "Domino's?"
"Yes, we're getting three extra larges."
"Works for me! Toppings: go!"
"Pineapple," Logan says as Janus says, "anything but pineapple."
"Okay, so pineapple on only one pizza, got it."
"Roman," Virgil calls as the others keep bickering, "how'd your meeting go?"
Remus looks up. That's right, Roman had that meeting with the Dean and Board today about the scholarship. Roman takes a deep breath.
"They're letting me keep it," he says breathlessly, "same scholarship, same amount of financial aid, same grades."
Virgil whoops so loudly it makes Remus's ears hurt. Of course, then the others want to know what he's so happy about and then they're celebrating too.
"You pick the movie, then," Janus says, "you've earned it."
Roman pauses, glancing around as if someone's going to object, only to see them all looking at him expectantly. He doesn't seem to know what to do with that. Then he glances at Remus.
See, Remus tries to say silently, you've got people. You're not alone. We're all here for you. See?
The way Roman's smile softens says yes, I see.
"Puss in Boots it is."
"Yes!"
"Great. Janus, help me set it up?"
"Sure."
"Roman, what do you want on your pizza?"
As long as we stick together, Remus thinks as he watches Roman be happier and more at ease than he's seen in a long, long time, we'll all be okay.

Question: how would your characterization of demon Alastor react to finding out for the last 60+ years that what he thought was Vox breaking up with him was actually Demon!Valentino drugging/r**ping him with his venom/aphrodisiac and Vox has No memory of what he and Alastor actually had? No memory of anything except maybe the last month? And to find out Valentino only did this so Vox (who was becoming a TV mogul) would put his pornos on the tv. How would he help Vox remember? What would he do to Valentino? Would Velvette also suffer?
okay so. nonny, i wont blame you for not knowing, especially since ive never explicitly talked about it on main, but for future reference, im not that big on the whole abusive staticmoth dynamic. i can see why others enjoy it, and i do read stories with it from time to time simply because the premise captivates me that much, but in general id say i much more prefer a version where val and vox are at the very least best friends if not crossing into the sort of blurry best friends who smooch sometimes territory.
now having said that, i'll still answer your question because again, not very fair of me to just brush you off for no reason when i never made my preferences clear beforehand. (this gets long, so i'll leave a readmore.) warning: my demon radiostatics are always freak4freak no matter what. so this does get a little iffy in terms of ethics
my favourite interpretation of radiostatic is two sickos who are just as closely obsessed with each other, so in the unlikely case that al would let vox go for that long, when he realizes again the first thing he's going to do is go and. well. for lack of a better term, atticwife him (i hope to god this isn't just a term used in east asian fandoms because if i have to explain this ill eat lead). maybe after a little bit of time, he'll allow vox some liberties, but even then it'd be very little. ill put it this way- imagine the most toxic irl relationship you can: someone who tracks and micromanages their partners every move, barely lets them outside the house without going with them, monitors every friendship that they allow their partner to have, and there you have it. thats radiostatic! ah, young love. so sweet, dont you think? after all, alastor can't risk his muse's eyes slipping off him again. he's been deprived of that attention for far too long, and it wasn't even by his own doing! that's an offense in and of itself.
now im assuming that its only val who's doing the exploitation here so presumably vel would have no hand in any of the mess, and perhaps not even be fully aware of the nuances behind the scenes. i mean, it wouldn't really matter either way because once alastor finds out the reason why his other half hasnt been reciprocating their insane little song and dance he's getting rid of any and all obstacles, permanently. vox doesnt need anyone else so long as he has him- and hey, he was friends with him, rosie and husk first, so its not even as if its much of a loss. the only people he'd presumably leave alive would be voxs own contracted souls, and even then thats a bit of a gamble depending on just how bad i want the both of them to be: without his contracted souls, vox would be weaker and more susceptible to whatever alastor wants, so i guess its a matter of whether or not i want the freak4freak relationship where theyre both equally strong but vox willingly submits because he gets more thrill out of it that way or whether i want freak4freak where vox has to struggle way harder and still ends up giving in anyway because al is simply stronger
as for what he'd actually *do* to val. i mean. he does still have that radio broadcast of his, doesn't he? i think you can probably put the pieces together. the thing with animal sinners is that theres simply so many parts of them to break... show-wise, i never understood how overlords like alastor or val could even rise to their position, with the amount of weak spots they must have. that broken antenna vox and val share is certainly something that speaks to their higher vulnerability. and moth wings are especially fragile: i owned little silkworm moths at one point (they were my babies, i loved them for the month or so i got to care for them) but their wings were so thin they were wearing holes in them by the second or third day. val's coat-wings look much thicker in comparison, but of course, my perception is limited by the show only. so i mean, who knows? im sure whatever happens, itll make the best entertainment in al's eyes :)

absolutely wild learning about my austistic leanings later in life because like
my parents just thought i was “eccentric” and found me rather entertaining, weirdness and all (plus their own probably undiagnosed AuDHD making their benchmark for normal skewed anyway) and my mon specifically was always so “mever change for anyone just be you” from a very young age so i just…
never experienced the concept of masking i guess?
Not as masking, I mean.
i would read accounts from autistic people talking about their experiences and struggles and pressure to conform and masking and the mental effects thereof and i would feel empathy because i “went through similar issues” but i th
i thought i was just being bullied for being Weird. just in general. like kids do. that this was a case of “well this sounds a lot like what i go through, but im not actually autistic so it probably isnt my place to join the conversation.”
it just never clicked that, “um. hi. these are the exact same behaviors you do. and there were moments in your life that almost led you to masking. because thats what it would’ve been. masking. but your dumb ass thought it wouldve just been ‘changing how you act and who you are in order to be bullied less’ which okay TECHNICALLY yes that is an accurate if watered down description of masking too, but.
Then you refused to on principle, because bullying is bad and fuck you and got angry about it to the point of overcompensating and INCREASING your Behaviors (tm) until you completely skipped over one of the key experiences that wouldve helped you identify with other people on the spectrum later in life.”
I just rolled through life like a steamroller of righteous, spiteful confidence that my preferences and actions were nobody’s business but my own and vice versa unless they clearly and directly affected others - so much so that I never actually set any kind of benchmark pattern for the way (NT) people around me act.
So I never had a benchmark for masking.
like im going back through all my memories of friendships that soured because i took everything at face value instead of trying to read deeper into cues. because I would always just say what i wanted people to know, straight up. like if i wanted attention i would ask for it if i wanted them to know i was hurt i would tell them. That made so much sense to me i assumed that was the norm. Because clearly. Thats logical. and obvious. So certainly other people are doing the same.
I got blinsided a LOT by the games my school friends and later some early adult friends played, yeah, but AGAIN (see: steamroller of self confidence) I simply assumed that was THEIR problem, not mine, and just… grieved the friendship and hoped for their sake they’d eventually sort their shit out 🤣
I literally thought they were the ones having difficulty with social contracts and cues and relationships.
Then over the past couple years the more I see accounts from other people in the AuDHD spectrum, like “yeah neurotypicals actually [thing i had been assuming was just an asshole trait for years without questioning it], heres what they really mean and a good script for responding” and “its funny how i [exact behavior i did for years] and no one realized i was austistic till later” im like… 🙃
And the last kicker was the post about food touching with the tag response “sometimes masking your autistic traits ends up more autistic than the unmasked trait” and my gut reactions were, in order:
…why would you bother to mask that, why is the way you eat anyone elses business?
i mean i guess it would ease up the pressure a bit, i got bullied for that too, i can see how maybe you wouldnt want to have to put… up with…
oHHHH SHIT IS THAT WHAT IT WOULDVE BEEN. IF I HADNT BEEN SO ANGRY ABOUT BEING ASKED TO CHANGE. IT WOULDVE BEEN MASKING. IF I’D KNOWN WHAT THAT WAS. THIS WHOLE TIME.
its just… its just been a series of months of me shaking my head and realizing my entire life has been that meme like “Am I having difficulties connecting socially??? No, it is everyone else who is wrong.”
🤣 girl help

Take marriage out of the equation .... but how would your blorbos survive two hours stuck together in traffic? :)
lmao i was actually thinking about something like this yesterday while I was on a flight!! how'd you know? 😆
Luca is extremely restless -- they usually channel their excess energy into flipping balisongs (or drumsticks). But he can hardly take a pair of knives through security screening, right? I think on a flight, he'd make do with flipping a pen, but he's also gonna feel self-conscious the entire time because its an enclosed space, and he doesn't want to be super noisy. What if he starts clicking it repeatedly and annoys the crap out of people? I think long flights would be Luca's personal idea of hell.
Traffic, though? That could go a number of ways.
Luca, Cas, and Gabriel all stuck in a car together would be totally fine at first! Their banter is great; all three of them are sharply intelligent and they love to make each other laugh, so I think they'd enjoy just spending time with each other!
After the first hour... it would depend what version of Luca we got.
Luca would have their knives, so thats something. If he's dissociating and staring out the window, he'll be okay for a while. If they are the one driving, they'd be drumming on the steering wheel and listening to music.
If we've got hungry Luca though? Oh god. They'd be SO freaking irritable. That would be two hours of Cas and Gabe being trapped in a vehicle with a pissed-off, feral raccoon.
Fortunately --since Gabriel is practically a suburban housewife in disguise and he never leaves the house without his bag-- I'm sure he'd have something in there to help. Water, snacks, a pen for Luca to flip if they didn't have their knives. If Gabriel was not the one driving, he'd be reading a book.
Gabe has the patience of a saint. Two hours stuck in traffic on his own? He'd probably enjoy the downtime. Two hours in traffic, just he and Luca? MUSIC TIME, baby! Those two would be sharing their favourite songs, and talking music theory, and singing harmonies with each other -- it would be exactly the kind of sappy, saccharine, heart-eyed bullshit that would make Cas vomit.
Now then. Add Cas into the mix.
The issue is not that Gabriel and Luca are stuck in traffic, oh no. They are stuck in a confined space with Cassius Harlow. I think Cas would find it a bit of a blessing! Gabe and Luca are Right There! Where he can annoy the crap out of them, and neither can escape! That's a dream come true.
Cas is that seven-year-old kid on a plane you want to throttle the crap out of because they won't stop kicking the back of your seat. Cas is whining at Gabe that its too hot, and he hates this song, and he's hungry, and are we there yet???? Only he's doing it with an infuriating little grin on his face, because all three of them damn well know he's only doing it to wind them up. Goading his boyfriends --especially Gabriel-- is one of Cas's favourite pastimes.
If Gabriel was in a mood to retaliate, he'd be reciting a bunch of random facts to try and bore Cas to death with, but its anyone's guess who gets sick of it all first -- its a case of "Immovable Patience meets Unstoppable Dickhead".
Hence, we circle back to "it depends on what version of Luca we get". Luca loves their bickering, but he's great at mediating when they get too close to actually arguing. If Luca is not hungry, the three of them are going to have a surprisingly great time stuck in that car. Cas won't admit it, but sitting there and listening to Gabriel and Luca singing makes him feel all kinds of peaceful, and grateful, and happy.
If Luca is hungry though. In all likelihood, someone's getting murdered.
(TYSM for the ask my love, this was way too much fun to think about haha 😊💖💖)

Hi! So, maybe someone already asked you about this, im not sure, but I was reading The most remarkable thing once again, and it got me thinking, having in mind too your latest series Eating in the underworld, and I guess The other hand knocking too, in a way, but, like, you write a lot about grief, and loss. Or, like, it seems like is a common theme on your writting, and makes me wonder, is it a conscious decision? Why do you choose to write about that? it's just because as a writer, you like to explore the entire spectrum of human emotions, or there are more personal reasons? No need to answer that if it's too personal! Im just curious, thats all
It's kind of a risky emotion to write about, if you think about it, because anyone would usually associate it with pure, unfiltered angst, but somehow you manage to write about grief and make it feel healing, if that makes any sense? and it's so easy to relate to it, like Steve missing Hopp even before he's gone on Remarkable, or the way Steve's absence changes Robin and Dustin on Underworld, and the loss of innocence and missed chances on The other hand. It's like, you write about life, real life, but you never make it feel hopeless, or too much. it's just, i dont know. As I said, it's healing, in a way Anyway! It's perfectly okay if you dont want to answer this on public, i was just curious. In any case, I will see you on the comment section of your next fic! take care of yourself!
apologies for this getting lost in the inbox shuffle, but here's a (hopefully semi-coherent) answer for you!! (gonna put it under a cut tho because we might get a touch heavy)
part of it is because i do find it interesting, and the whole of human experience interesting; and grief is something that's there but never quite talked about, you know? we kind of sweep it and death under the rug even though it's something that we are all going to have to face at some point, in some way.
and i've talked before about how i have a lot of experience with cancer in my life (specifically with my partner and parents as survivors, with other family members lost to the disease), and i think a lot of my writing circling back to grief is because of that — especially my partner's, because i was relatively young for my mother's cancer + my father's was quite early and very contained, but my partner's second cancer i sat with them as they were diagnosed and attended chemo and had to sort of wrap my mind around this being a part of our lives going forward.
so writing about grief kind of became something i wanted to explore because it was this weird part of my life.
however more specifically to the story of "remarkable" — about six months before i started writing it, i unexpectedly lost my cat, who i'd raised from a baby, who predated my relationship with my partner, who kept me sane during grad school, who traveled across america with me twice — who was, for better or worse, in my heart, my son and the great love of my life. he was orange, and he was an asshole, and he was perfect, and he was eleven, and i had to make the decision to end his suffering when he experienced a massive stroke that left him almost entirely paralyzed.
i could barely write, after it happened. couldn't do a lot of things, actually. but writing "remarkable" was coming out of that fog, and finding joy again, if that makes sense. it was a way for me to tell myself that i was going to be okay, when i was ready, and that i would be okay in the future too. it wouldn't be great and it wouldn't be perfect, and i would never be the same person i was before, but i could be okay again.
(and i am! i still cry sometimes when i think about him but we're also starting to visit shelters and talk about adopting so!!)

fuck it I’m crossposting, here’s my livetweets for palisade 24. I put it on cohost too but I need to Post Everywhere you see
Also if anyone has suggestions on how I should live post spoilers when I have a disease and plan on posting on 3 different sites until further notice please let me know. The answer is to simply stop posting
Anyways
I didn’t realize theres a whole sun mission moon mission situation going on here…. Also I feel actively unwell listening to this the content warning just obliterated normal functions. I too am feverish
ham slurpers
GANG GANG SOLAR COMBUSTION SO GOOD NO SPICY FUCK OFFFFF
Mustard red does npc tiktok im losing m y mind
Everyone taking a big breath with this good roll including me
chimeric cadent… what does that mean…
man fuck off clem theres enough going on
ancient enemy of the iconoclasts… we have been three different people…….. i swesr to god if this is the waking cadent and signet and some third thing i will scream.
Its bug like in some forms. I swesr to god if my signet is still alive theory was right but like this …………………. Bro austin is pranking me right now im being personally trolled
“A third life in this place where life is sacred…” kamala cadence was the one who was hesitant about divines dying… reading the wiki real quick thats the reason why her and independence fell out huh
Actively jokerfying about this
I keep looking at the time hoping they wont have enough time to get to sun party gjshdh
IWAS RIGHT ITS BELGARD CADENT SIGNET. AUSTIN. IM RUNNING AROUND DOING LUNGES I need to catch my breath. I was going to not do capslock for any of my rot13 threads but i do not know how to how could I not
Barricade… Volicity…. Bounty…. Loyalty……….. just listing the ones I recognize
Nooooo back to sun crew
Its really going to explode in the next 20 minutes huh its just going to end when something so compelling happened on the moon party and its going to explodeand everyone dies huh
Im a little calmer at this moment and just being pre-dissapointed and I guess its poignant maybe if it all blows up but like cmon .
This didnt bother me as much but this is probably what people felt about all the divines and ships described in tm ep 00 just being there to die right at the start except its been like 40 episodes of build up
fifteen minutes left
the sun side has felt like theyve been diffusing a bomb since the beginning of this arc and the timer is counting down Fast
Nine minutes left
four minutes
failed roll is here
Okay. Music is on. Things have messed up but no explosion yet. So analyzing the ep, I don’t think they would put on a content warning just to keep spoilers vague (I mean I was assuming this whole time just in case but it does feel irresponsible)
the mass death/genocide warning was probably regarding chimera’s lantern and what happened when the principality decided to “eradicate” the last of advent OR its regarding asepsis’s actions against the equiaxed in partizan. Either way things are bad for sun side…theyve been ending the episodes like this every time so far lmao. But it has not exploded Yet. Imagine if the next ep is like 30 minutes long lmao
I feel like im breathing for the first time in two point five hours

SPOILERS FOR MEGAMIND AND MEGAMIND "2" youve been warned
Hi chat im here to bitch and whine give my 2 cents on the new movie even tho im like. A little late. Obligatory read more
I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im starting with it but... why did they rename Minion? I am not Too bothered by it, i mean a little but thats probably just me im just mostly confused? Is it because of the Minions stuff? So hes more uniqe? Augh my poor boy they did him so dirty
Point 2. Roxanne. What. Just what. Why did they make her like that? I loved how she had different clothes for (probably) every scene, that she wasnt just a generic cartoon character wearing the same outfit for the whole 90 something minutes and yet they just... put her in an (in my opinion) ugly dress and made her hate her job?
She seemed happy in the first movie for the most part. She wrote her own speech in the first scene of it!! I get that things are different now that Megamind is a hero but ITS BEEN 2 DAYS!! Unless her aspirations changed in the first movie and im just too tired to remember then its a huge change. Besides that she was.... okay i guess? Shrug i liked the original more
Oh right! Their relationship or lack there of with Megamind! I was never a huge shipper of them but i didnt mind. I find it sweet at most since they can be silly together but only if given more time and fleshed out more. Im more interested in seeing their progression, learning about each other, adressing past stuff (like how Megamind was hiding as Bernard for god knows how long i am so tired i cant remember this move killed my brain) and i dont care if theyre a couple or just friends or something in between for all of that
But...... seeing as (and i can only assume) the first movies last scene of him accepting the new museum that was rebuilt for his image happened months after the Titan thing and they literally Kissed and whatever id ASSUME there is something between them to kiss like that IN A PUBLIC EVENT IN FRONT OF THE CITY?
And yes i love my platonic kisses but lets be real. This was made by a Company and this is a het couple theres no way they would let them kiss as just friends. Like id be the happiest mf on earth if they did but from previous movie track records i dont think thats the case
If the movie was like set between the Titan thing and the reopen of the museum id understand. Then yeah, things are complicated between them. But we SEE the museum like at least once so??? Ugh i dont know why im so caught up on everything this movie was full of contradictions
Before i go to the main issue (the whole movie is the issue but i digress) i wanna talk about the world itself.
Where did the smart phone come from?????? Hello??? Movie 1 had flip phones at best + whatever Megamind made but hes like a genius so like that doesnt quite fall into public tech stuff. Why did they nerf the dehydration gun? That was instant or near instant before why did it take seconds now?? Megamind has a whole new lair AFTER 2 DAYS-
Why is everyone so stupid and disrespectful? The whole key ceremony was 100% unneeded if hes already an esteemed hero? Whatever.
Now the main bone i have to pick. MEGAMIND.
Tumblr media
He could not be more OOC. I cant belive this was an actual movie not like some fan project. God
They already had a whole thing in the first movie how he needs Minion more and he needs to listen to him and how he appreciates him. Why did we go back to ground 0?
If they REALLY needed a conflict where Minion wanted to be a sidekick and Megamind didnt want that to happen (which... i dont even know why they needed that? Perhaps with Minion away from the lair when the DS showed up the issue dragged on much longer? Shrug) THEN THEY COULD HAVE DONE AAAANYTHING ELSE!!!
Might i remind the creators that in the highpoint of the first movie, when Minion used the disguise watch and helped Roxanne escape so Megamind can defeat Titan as a fake Metro Man he got (kinda) hurt? Like his tank shattered and he was drying out. Sure he was fine but THAT already couldve been a better motivator!!
Megamind being scared to let Minion be his sidekick because he has been with him for all of his life, his first and best friend in the whole galaxy, his caretaker since he was a baby, his last connection to his home planet even, got hurt and could have easily died. I mean they pretty much killed like 3 people if not more in this movie so its not far fetched but like-
The conflict being Megamind grapping with his concience (spelling??) of wanting to make Minion happy and letting him express himself more, and his terror of the possibility of losing him. Like if thats too heavy they can make it more lighthearted and jokey there are Definitely ways to do that but that already is a better conflict oh my GOD.
Also DS couldve been soloed with the dehydratuion gun if it wasnt nerfed. He just walks behind them and bam. Problem solved. What the hell
point 3? I lost count. WHY DID THEY DUMB HIM DOWNNNNNNN OMG
HES SUPPOSED TO BE A GENIUS!! Sure Minion takes care of him since he can get too in his head with his ideas as we see. Multiple times. But hes not an idiot. He would know how a toaster WORKS HES NOT XBDNSN MAIMS!!
Anyway
I finished the movie like an hour ago but i already forgot that little girls name oops. She was... weird. I wasnt too annoyed about her more so confused? Since shes the only person with a smart phone? And she had half a million followers for her Megamind blog? IN 2 DAYS? Right. Felt very forced to put her into any and all of the scenes
Back to our massacared blue hero. He would NEVER be like that. More specifically with the DS. One of the main parts of him is that he was lonely!! He never had friends!! He is sooo socially stunted he doesnt know many many basic concepts as an adult!! Like how phones work or views or i cant remember anything else what a disgrace but like!!
He would never go to evil school. Why would there be an evil school also?? But he never had anyone but Minion!! He was sooo lonely without Metroman he had to DIY a new dude!! He became a villian because people kept bullying him for being different and weird and so he decided to become what they make him out to be! If he had friends like how the DS makes it out to be, hell, like how the movie makes it out to be then he would never abandon them like that. He would NEVER
Also him the leader?? Are you kidding me?? Where was Minion during all that? And even then why didnt they just use the original DS material? I was hoping to see the fire lady where did she go :( (i cant remember any names tonight huh)
Everyone is so dumb in this movie it hurts. 0 spacial awareness, the conversations dont feel like they fit together, some scenes they literally repeat stuff that was either said already or just dont relate at all. I dont know why that is but it bothered me a lot
The DS looked and acted dumb, they were the most generic ass villains like... WHY DIDNT YOU USE THE ORIGINAL- whatever im. Sigh. But really it was so weird???? If Megamind was supposed to be their LEADER why were they so disrespectful to him? He feared them plenty and yeah sure its because he lied to them but leaders usually are respected. They treated him like shit and didnt listen to him once. Rushed him the whole time and kept making him do things like....... girl... thats your LEADER. Ex leader at worst. Maybe dont throw a party in his HOUSE without even asking or warning him and tell him to not be a party pooper when he demands you to stop it. I have a headache now
The ending was....... interesting. Roxanne becoming mayor feels unrealistic and rushed but alas it fits to the theme of the movie because of that (aka being rushed and unrealistic). The M signal is. Laughable. Silly at the very best. It got a laugh out of me but its just.... unneeded. I dont know i dont get why they had to add it you know. Also obligatory Minion out of the tank moment oh wow woo yippe Why
Overall? There were like 3 jokes at best that i liked + the dance off scene was nice. Funny and kinda in character even. The rest? I will be mad about it forever. 1.5/10

Saw Spiderman Across the Spiderverse
It was good, REALLY good. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I loved it so much I wish we could have part 2 out already. I loved  Pavitr Prabhakar / Spider-Man India and Hobie/ SpiderPunk the most (am I allowed to say he’s sexy... it was that voice.) 
I only have a few things I wanna ask to fellow fans. Not so much a critique just thoughts. So spoiler warning before I speak...
Spoiler warning....
....
.....
.......................
I’m warning you..........
....
.....
..........
....
.....
.......................
I’m REALLY WARNING YOU........
.........
....
.....
.......................
Last spoiler warning people....
.... As much as I loved Jess( Issa Rae was a wonderful actress)... for a person who was pregnant she was doing a lot of motorcycling. I mean yes I know its comics and one could argue its “spider baby” whatever but... Jess took an awful lot of risks. I mean again yes you could argue “Well Peter took risks with baby may”. But I think May was obviously able to show it. But that doesn’t mean every universe is the same. For all Jess knows that baby’s gonna get shock, could be born human.
Andddd I admit as much as I loved her and I did... I find it surprising she seemed to cut herself off from being maternal to Miles/Gwen. I say that cause a common trope with pregnant characters it effects how they interact with kid characters. Yes again I get it, they are technically teens. But as much heck as everyone was giving Miles... I’m just kinda surprised not one of them thought “would I really put my own kid through this trauma? “
Then again... a part of me still can’t get over how from last movie and this one, they act like Miles should have his shit together oO. Now I don’t read the comics, I can only guess from the movies/tv shows. But as far as I know with the exception of maybe Miguel? and what I wanna say Jessica Drew. A lot of these spiders forget they were literally teenagers when they started this spiderman business. Depending on the version Peter (Peters in this case) was either fresh out of highschool or still IN highschool. And none of these characters gave themselves the third degree or went “am I mature enough for this? Maybe I need to work on my resume”. Literally every spider character acts like they were born into this work/and never made mistake. And believe me Peter, you made lots before XD. I think that one scene with Gwen/Jess was the ONLY time I actually heard someone acknowledge they aren’t born perfect
I also can not understand why Miles is being blamed for the incidents. You know the holes, multiverse crap etc. The only thing I can say watching is that he is to a degree to blame for making the Spot but that was actions he wasn’t fully of aware of. You know like events he couldn’t forsee stuff.
The whole holes whatever.... uhh Miguel does know that technically it was Kingpin’s fault oO (i mean he should since he has freakin’ cameras EVERYWHERE). I mean if we’re gonna blame anyone Kingpin was the one who used his money to do all that crap. The spot worked for him, I’m not entirely blaming him I’m just saying... its just a risk he took with that job.  Now if the portals were a response from when he(Miles) did it at the end of the movie. Then fine... but even then Miles couldn’t avoid it. He literally had to open the portals to send the first Spiderverse crew back. They would have died or the events would have gotten worse.
As for the betrayal... I get why Gwen, Penni, and Margo Kess didn’t really fight it. They are kids. This is something over their heads so they trust the adults. My problem.. is we didn’t really get much of a reason as to why Jess and Peter were okay with this twist on Miles. Now Miguel’s “cannon” theory... (will get to that later) okay thats HIS reason. But I feel Peter should have argued more before caving into that. I wish we could have seen the characters argue and see a more argument as to WHY Miguel was so easily believed. 
In addition... I’m not gonna lie the finally battle with Miguel and Miles... a LOT of hostility. I dunno even if he was to say he was “an anomaly”. Felt like a lot of that was just to tear down him as a person/and character. I’m like “Dude where’s all this hate?”. Is it trauma? Is this suppose to be a metaphor for what his mom said that some people in the world will hurt him? (I don’t wanna say racism because one I’m not black. Feel thats something out of my league discuss). And again why blame him? He LITERALLY is a kid who didn’t ask for this. Why isn’t he blaming Kingpin? Kingpin ACTUALLY started this. To blame Miles for his world’s Peter’s death is a HUGE stretch for several reasons.
1) Miles is a kid/teenager. He was just as traumatized by the rest of the so called canon events. He saw a hero murdered, trying to save him.And again the spider incident was out of his hands. 2) sorry to for once bring up technically.... but if Miguel knows all these canon events then he knows that in one of those universes Peter dies regardless if Miles is there. (I say that because there were several cartoon cameos so technically that disney cartoon one is there) Heck even in the comics.. I don’t think Miles was around when Peter died. 3) He literally gave a lecture about how there different universes, including one where he isn’t even Spiderman.... so again he brought that into subject. Is it Gwen’s fault then that Peter isn’t spiderman? No. There are several universes were Peter isn’t even the hero. Its a stretch to blame the kid.
Then I’m gonna touch on Miguel’s “cannon theory”. I’m gonna call it a theory because thats all it is for the moment. Now I could almost understand this fight if it was like DC’s Flashpoint were Miles used their technology to go to the PAST and prevent events. But... Miles wasn’t doing that. They were literally holding him hostage to stop him from protecting his father. Now from what I understood they argued that Miles had to let these happen for reasons Spiderman has a history with tragedy/ They can’t save everyone/ Its literally just part of their character building/ Got over it. (to quote Jess). Now they can’t save everyone fine, thats true. Its even true that Spiderman is often linked to tragedy.
But their arguments were moot to me for two reasons. One, Miles has already had tragedy twice in his story. He saw Peter get murdered, he watched his Uncle get murdered. Second, there was no 100% guarantee that the Spot was right that its destiny. It was a probability to my opinion. Miles is literally a kid being told by everyone and friends that he just has to be okay with his dad dying because just because. Thats literally the dumbest excuse. Miles isn’t going to the past. Its a probability not destiny. He’s seen enough death, being told to sacrifice his own father shouldn’t be one of them.
The argument is also mooted by the fact that previously every good action, the other Spiders. How does Miguel know that none of those people in the last movie was suppose to die? Or in the Mumbattan just because they aren’t central characters to the Spiders doesn’t mean it wasn’t suppose to happen. In addition again the Spot is making portals and not closing them, Miles is being pushed for something that is another villain's doing.
A villain that Miguel himself, if he was so concerned, should have acted earlier and gotten the Spot. And Miguel is technically in my opinion breaking his own rules by having so many of the Spider characters there. And the cannon theory is still just a theory because in my opinion there’s a difference between Miles’ situation and his. Miguel purposely went into another reality and took that identity. Miles never did that.
And its still not full proof this canon thing is solid. Because its not been tested in controlled conditions. Miguel’s one instance isn’t really proof. And we can’t really say “Well what about Mumbattan “... again the SPOT is literally screwing around.  And Gwen herself is technically also walking proof, since Gwen technically dies in several universes apparently (or to quote it doesn’t work out with her and Spiderman)
A part of me is also tempted to say they’re comics. Nobody stays dead long. But nooooo gonna skip that a moment 8B.

No offense meant but I really think youre wrong about AI
AI in the context of art and writing HAS to take sources from other people. Online AI generators cant operate without stealing from other creators, and is being used to minimize the work actual artists and writers do. All tech is AN AI but a computer or website isnt going to steal your work, assimilate it and spit it back out for someone else without your knowledge, consent or input. AI in general has ethical issues when implemented into society. And honestly not all progress is good progress. The current AI tech is bad regardless of hows its used and is very different than just being a computer program, its only purpose is to mix up artistic input and spit it out for others benefit
The fact is, even if artists get a say, its tech that fundamentally tries to bypass the hard work and ACTUAL technical aspects of art to mimic it. Maybe it can move forward in the future but its not a good idea to say that the way its being used is the only problem. New tech isn’t automatically bad or good, how people use it does matter. Comparing the real world use of this tech to steal from artists to fictional characters who happen to be artificial creations isn’t ok. You can choose not to have negative consequences in a fictional world, but not in reality. And just because something works out okay in a story doesn't mean its a good idea. Artificial life is itself an entire ethical debate thats gone on for decades and cant be boiled down to good or bad.
It's always nice to know people are reading this blog. Thanks for your thoughtful input.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with the reference to fictional characters, but how AI is applied to real-world creative enterprises is indeed a significant issue. One major problem has been around the data sets used to train various AI models, and those being used to generate 'art' are only one facet of the problem. Take, just for one example, AI used to sift resumes—if the training data favors a particular demographic bias, guess which ones get filtered out a priori? Ethical questions around use and application of AI abound. Use of artificial intelligence is a complex and nuanced issue.
The damage has been done with the most popular tools, such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, but it would be possible for artists and writers to consent to using their works to train AI tools, in which case, there'd be no stealing. (I personally would be intrigued to see what would happen if this blog were used to train an AI, so I'd consent to that.) But if we begin to rely broadly on the AI to generate art, where does that leave artists? Where does that leave innovation and originality? If everything is a mélange and regurgitated hodgepodge that looks good enough, where does that leave our expectations? Our aspirations? That doesn't sound like human flourishing to me.
Now, before we get all high and mighty about how original we are, let me point out that humans have always loved to copy one another. In a sense, all art is derivative; that's why we have archetypes and tropes. We influence one another, but we'll only ever be similar, not identical, and that's part of the beauty of creativity. I can write someone else's characters (thank you Kubo Tite) but I will never exactly replicate perfectly the way the creator did it. And that's a beautiful thing. Likewise, an artifical intelligence won't duplicate an original; it'll just take inspiration from it, in the same way a human would. But it might do that faster and cheaper, if not better. And that's part of the problem. But... we will need to grapple with all this as a society, because it's not going away.
Finally: the real reason for that post? If you've read this far, you deserve to know. I understand that the PSA that's been going around is an attempt to establish a new cultural norm for how artificially-generated content is regarded... by using fear of being replaced by AI to justify ostracizing anyone who uses any form of it, as determined subjectively. And frankly, anything that uses fear, uncertainty and doubt to create in-groups and out-groups in the RPC—or frankly, anywhere else— just rubs me the wrong way.

Azul can’t deny the monetary rizz 😩👌
AND YESS RAMSHACKLE GANG AS GHOST HUNTERS WOULD BE GOLD 👌 It just made me think of a bunch of Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural quotes and,, I did a little thing 🧍
Deuce: Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way?
Ace/Grim: No, I want my f*cking gold.
Ace: Am I in hell? Loop!Reader/Yuu: No, Ace. If you were, you’d be on a throne and the devil would be packing.
The gang: *hiding from a ghost*
Deuce: Don’t say a word!
Ace: …Fergalicious.
Deuce: Ace! What did I just say?
Ace: Oh, I see. So two weeks ago, when we all played Scrabble, it wasn’t a word, but now it is? How convenient for you.
Grim: Don’t worry henchman, everyone is afraid of something.
Loop!Reader/Yuu: Even you?
Grim: No.
Ace: Hey there, demons. It’s me, ya boy.
Deuce: I think I’m blacking out right now.
Loop!Reader/Yuu: F*ck you, Goatman!
Ace: Goatman, I’m dancing on your bridge - it’s my bridge now! You hear that?
Loop!Reader/Yuu: Look at the way he dances on it! He disrespects your bridge, Goatman!
Ace: You want me off this bridge, you’re gonna have to kill me! You’re going to have to throw me off this bridge yourself!
Deuce: *freaking out in the back* Oh my god-
Ace: They’re gonna put my name in graffiti. Children will come and tell tales of me!
Loop!Reader/Yuu: Hey, you demon f*ck!
Deuce: 🧍
Also, while I’m here!! I was going through the notes I made for my TWST fics a little while ago, and I came across random notes I made for myself when I was up at 3 AM and very tired. Most make sense, but there are some that make me go “Huh? 🧍‍♂️” Like, for example:
‘Jade was the mushroom now.’
Hey, me from a month ago? What does this mean??
I hope you don’t mind me sharing some of those random notes!! They’re all separate from one another and they have,, no context-
~~~
“Holy woah,” Idia said to himself, “I just talked to a girl!” (He didn’t actually talk. He didn’t offer up a single word throughout the entire conversation.)
Jamil: Lilia, this crab is so undercooked, I can still practically hear it singing!
“Jade? Jade, I’m gonna fall. Jade. Jade, I’m falling. Jade. JADE–”
“(Name), you’ve barely moved.”
Azul took out his phone and (Name) had to hold back a laugh. Of course his phone case was a wallet.
Loop!Reader and Idia: *talking about video game characters*
Loop!Reader: Okay, but Idia… What if he was my babygirl, though?
Idia: (Name), he literally did war crimes.
Loop!Reader: To be a babygirl, you need to commit atrocities sometimes.
And for his next trick, Floyd became bedazzled.
Now, (Name) had no fears.
“Swordfishy!”
Well, one fear.
(Name) turned around to see Floyd sprinting at her on all fours. Naturally, she screamed at the top of her lungs.
And now, possibly my most favourite note:
“(Name) accidentally rizzes up Octavinelle students via kazoo”
Like?? What does this mean? How does this even happen?? I guess me from a month or so ago will be the only one who knows 💀
Jackdaw Anon 🐦
deuce embodying ryan is the realest thing ive ever read ^^; ace would totally be shane except he would be such a ryan the SECOND they find something that even REMOTELY resembles a ghost. hes a scaredy cat at heart. but the "no man yorue scared!! im not SCARED!!!" type...hes annoying (SIGH)

Dear Diary
I spent the weekend with my mom for my birthday. she picked me up and took me to the county fair which is inconveniently located right across the street from my school. So of course everyone from school was there. Not a big deal, I got to say hi to some school friends and still had a blast. It’s just a little sucky to run into familiar faces sometimes. I don’t really like the town I currently live in, scenery wise it’s alright. I like the small town vibe and stuff I just don’t really like the people themselves.
Anyway it was great and I got to meet an online friend in real life for the first time ever. They actually live not too far away but we never got to meet before. So we just planned to meet up at the fair and then we saw each other and hung out for a few hours. We went on rides together, browsed the shopping stalls, and I even bought him ice cream. He didn’t finish it but he was still quite happy about it so thats fine.
I’ve been writing a book lately, it’s a little far from being finished but I’ve been making progress. I’m hoping all goes well, and I get to have it done this year. I’m a little worried no one is going to read it, but I guess that’s okay. At least I put something out there. It’s this romance fantasy kinda aimed toward anyone looking for escape. The protagonist is this high school boy who is unhappy with their mundane life and one day steps through a mirror that takes them to another reality. They meet this magical bunny person and they kinda fall in love and then yeah. It took a lot of inspiration from deltarune. In case you’re a weirdo who plays indie games and that rung a bell. (No shame though because I think that makes you really cool) im excited to keep going with it but I hope I don’t give up.
Also one of my close friends from school (who I’ll just call Jay.) isn’t my friend anymore. Uh- well let me explain. So basically.. I made a group chat with me and another good friend (who knows jay, but moved away) and I was venting about how I feel like jay mistreats me. I feel like jay ignores me at school and I feel like we just haven’t been really getting along lately at all. Me and my one friend agreed and went back and fourth on our personal opinions regarding jay. Well, there was another friend of mine (who is an online friend, but also knows jay) who was also in the group chat. I guess they took screenshots of everything me and my friend said and sent it to jay. The next day at school, jay blew up at me and told me to never talk to her again. I was like what the fuck.
I trusted my friends and they literally betrayed me and all this drama happened. The reason I didn’t go to jay about anything up front is because I don’t think they would even care or acknowledge it. So I decided to vent to some close friends of mine and thought I could get some comfort. I guess I’m always the bad guy when I speak up about being mistreated. Like that one time my dad was yelling at me and chewing me out for like, no good reason. I told him to “chill” and he blew up oh my god. Yeah. So I never really have the right to say anything. Which you kinda learn to live with, but it’s still gay I guess. So I guess jay and her other little friends have all turned on me. But I don’t really care I don’t need them. It’s still unfair, but if you can’t roll with me then leave I guess.
Anyway, I have one week of school left and then summer. I’ll see what happens i dunno. I’m gonna get some rest. At least I updated and I’m not dead haha

hii i want to request a matchup if ure still doing that!!
my name is eda, i go be he/she and im bi, my love language is quality time and acts of service, im intp 5w4 sp/so and leo sun
im super socially awkward lol people ussually think i dont want to talk to them, at first they think im intimidating or judgy but im actually really open minded and caring for the people im close with i just dont rlly like strangers being clingy w me thats just annoying
im not really good at showing emotions and care but i really do try my best;; i sometimes seem salty but thats my kinda way of showing affection when im not in the mood but still wanna somehow say i love you i just bad with words and i hate physical touch, but im also rlly touch starved and its in a loop lol
i sometimes just wanna be all by myself when someone gets really close during those"ghosting everyone" times i become distant with them its not on purpose but i just need a lot of alone time
i like listening people gush about their interests a lot i can listen my s/o ranting about their nerd stuff for hours and not even lose interest if theyre talking about that thing passionately it just so cute;;;
im able to sense peoples emotions, especially my close ones, i can read them like an open book they dont even need to talk and ill know whats the problem but even tho i know peoples feelings, i can never emphasize i just find it weird to show emotions, i dont tell them what i think about this and just roll with it but they seem to notice if this took for a long time and that ruins my relationships with people i cant get close to anyone because of this
my last break up was lack of communication in our relationship because it all happened too fast, im much more into a relationship where we would be much of a friend than a lover in the relationship and communicate about our feelings and thoughts so i need to get close to them slowly and this slow time is sometimes takes more than 6 months just to start dating and not just "hanging out as friends" its also because i have big trust issues lol
tw sh!! ive been struggling with ed and sh for a few years now but i honestly dont want my partner to worry about that, people think it sound unrealistic because this is about my health and even my life but i dont see any issues with these they become a part of my life atp i want my s/o to be able to not worry too much about it at least;; i just cant take confrontation id get scared and run away
im studying english literatue at uni and i part time work in an office as a translator, i live alone and im capable of doing everything i need in my life without help of family or anyone at all and when in a relationship i dont really depend on my partner too i like the independence but i like when my close ones rely on me because id do basically anything they need i like spoiling my close ones a lot
i think i said too much about myself sorry i dont really know how to do this lol have a nice day mwah :*
I match you with...
Jumin!
You’re the kind of person who wonders if you’re doing this whole life thing right. You second-guess yourself and don't know if what you're saying is going to interest somebody. It’s an insecurity you know you need to work on if you want to grow. Ideally, your goal is to be able to be happy with somebody that you don't have to be afraid of. You don't want to be afraid if they don't like you or don't want you the way that you want them. For that reason, you need somebody in your life who can never be misconstrued or misunderstood. In your case, that happens to be Jumin Han. Who else in this world is capable of making sure that there is nothing to be misunderstood? 
You get along so well because you both look at life the same way. You do things that need to be done without complaint and you generally don't ask for help. The one thing that the two of you could stand to learn would be to give up control now and again to those that you trust. It's okay to take a step back into the passenger seat now and again. You don't have to be afraid of something going wrong as long as you believe in that person you trust. That’s how Jumin sees you. He would never back you into a corner or make you do something that you don't want to do, but he would reasonably look at you and ask if you needed his help every step of the way just because he cares.

okay hold up I am extremely sick but I have two (2) things. First, I started typing an addition to that Artem post you rb’d a while back but cannot currently finish it because i think I may be hallucinating the sound of someone singing?? I may die. Shrug.
AND then I just read the shoes-in-house thingy in relation to Vyn and im like,,, hmm. Because my family is strictly ‘take your shoes off’ (im from burger eagle healthcare hell) but I know that doesn’t apply to all families, which I think is ew, but hey, I’m not the one cleaning their carpets. Just asked my mom and she said it’s what she grew up with, but my dad was an inside-shoe heathen. We def don’t have house slippers though, everyone’s just in socks.
ANYWAY. THEN I was thinking ‘okay but Vyn is European’ so I googled it, & the general consensus in Western Europe is that people wear shoes inside sometimes-maybe-perhaps. But I am not From Europe so I have no idea either lol. Though, from what I’ve seen ppl’s guesses of where Svart is to be, I’d probably say he’s sane and takes off his shoes :)
waaa, hi worms!! and also AAAAA WORMS??? are you okay DDD: i hope whatever is ailing you gets outta ur system soon huhu, being haunted by sirens doesnt sound like a great symptom (unless the singing is of a genre you particularly like. free spotify premium)
JHKVJHAFJSF BURGER EAGLE HEALTHCARE HELL, my deepest condolences :(( and ooohh, yea! on the og post of me speculating about Does Vyn Wear Shoes In House, i originally had assumed it was a general western culture thing simply cuz thats what i always saw in western media, but then some friendly folks pointed out that it's a case to case basis. im also just fascinated by the concept of carpets in general, we dont have any and it's not very common over here, also they look very much like a hassle to clean? i hope your carpets cooperate with the cleaning process.
socks indoors sounds comfy tho i also cant imagine that but only cuz i live in a house containing 5 dogs and many of them dont understand (and/or are fucking with us) that the place to Go is outside in the garden so stepping in an unidentified liquid accidentally indoors is always a scary possibility, none of us wanna be in socks for that.....house slippers are nice, we dont have any closed toe ones like they got in tot because Tropical Country and 99% of the time i just go barefoot cuz i forget that slippers even exist ajhvksjhfasa
some europeans also replied/tagged to the og post and it does seem like while some countries have a propensity for one or the other, it's still mostly a case to case basis. i just enjoy giving vyn funny habits HAHA
tho liTERALLY JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO AS I WAS TYPING THE FIRST PARAGRAPH i got a reply that said that newer cards indeed show vyn in house slippers in his own home. drat...
looks like i can only make fun of vyn's probably bad driving due to europe having the steering wheel on the other side......
(well, not really, the beauty of hcs is that anyone can do whatever they want, hyv cant stop us. MWAHAHHHAHA)
anyway i hope u get well soon!!!
