HeliosR - Year-end&NewYear MochiParty (full)
Tumblr media
Translation of ‘Year-end&NewYear MochiParty’ from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’. All 3 parts included.
Part 1
Tumblr media
Faith: (It’s sure quiet on this floor today.)
Faith: (Probs due to the usual rowdy ones going back to their families)
(Faith’s phone rings)
Faith: …Sigh, not again
Will: Ah, Faith-kun. Good to see you.
Faith: Will
Will: Your phone's ringing, shouldn’t you pick it up?
Faith: Nah. It’s from Oscar anyway
Will: Uuh, I think you ought to answer all the more in that case
Faith: It’s whatever. I just know he’s calling to pressure me to come back home
Will: Oh. Oscar-san did go back together with Brad-san now that I think of it
Faith: Yeah. And since my mother and father found out about everyone from 13th gen getting a special break, they’ve been using Oscar to pressure me to go back home.
Will: Ahaha, that’s how it is. While you should go pay them a visit, don’t you want to?
Faith: Hell no. No way I can relax with two mentors at my home
Faith: Besides, what are you here for? Ever since our Academy days, you’re the type to like, never miss a chance to go back to your family. 
Will: I do plan on going back, but I kind of have something on my mind…
Faith: Something on your mind?
Will: It’s not that big of a deal. It’s just, how do I say it… was wondering what Ren would be up to and all that.
Faith: Ren?
Faith: Ah, speak of the devil
Ren: ……..
Will: Ren♪
Gast: Yo, Will, Faith
Will: ……And, Adler
Gast: Haha… n’other year of the same ol’ treatment, eh
Faith: Come to think of it, weren’t you two on bad terms?
Gast: Nah, well, I wouldn’t say bad terms…?
Will: Neither can say it’s good terms.
Faith: Aha, what’s up with that
Gast: Anyway, what’cha standin’ round here for having a chat? Ain’t you guys gonna see your families
Will: I will. We are on break.
Faith: Visiting my family means all kinds of trouble for me.
Faith: What about you, Gast? Even though you seem the type to go fool around during breaks
Gast: Hey hey, you’re makin’ me look bad here. All I do is go hang out with my buddies, that don’t mean I’m foolin’ arou--
Ren: Oi, Gast. If we aren’t going then I’ll return to our room.
Gast: Oh, m’bad m’bad
Will: Were you two headed off somewhere?
Gast: Yup, seems like they’re holding a mochi pounding competition in Little Tokyo. We were on our way there right now
Will: Pounding mochi… Now that you mention it, they did say they were going to hold an event where they’ll use unsold sticky rice
Faith: Huuuh, Ren going to these kinda things? Kinda out of character
Ren: I don’t care about pounding mochi. It’s a chance to get food, that’s all.
Gast: Exactly that, if you join the event you get to keep the mochi. So we thought we could have that as food during our time off.
Will: Makes sense. Ren, you did like to eat your mochi with soy sauce and nori
Ren: ….It’s more for the fact that it’s easy to prepare
Gast: Oh, that’s right♪ Since you two got some time to kill, won’tcha join us? Everyone’s on break anyway, let’s fetch us some mochi and hold a mochi party♪
Will: A mochi party… What do you think, Ren?
Ren: I don’t care. As long as I can eat after taking it back home.
Will: Then I’ll tag along if Ren’s joining 
Gast: Nice, it’s decided♪ And you, Faith?
Faith: A mochi party, huh. I’m like not familiar with mochi at all to begin with though
Will: Its fine, I’m sure you’ll like it♪ There’s oshiruko and mushroom mochi which are very delicious.
Will: There’s a lot of other recipes you can do with it too. Such as chocolate flavor, or ones where people eat them as if they’re pizzas.
Gast: I’ve also made a bunch of different ones before and they were pretty good. Right, Ren?
Ren: It wasn’t bad.
Faith: Hmmm. I’ll pass up on the pizza since I’m always having my fill of that, but I’m a bit curious about the chocolate one
Faith: But pounding mochi is like, that one thing no? What Akira did at New Years Heroes….
Gast: Uh-huh, exactly that. Well, with that one they intentionally made a whole spectacle out of it
Faith: I’m like, not in the mood to go around swinging some hammer during my free time though---
(Faith’s phone rings)
Will: Was that Oscar-san again?
Faith: …Looks like it. I’m afraid he’ll go as far as to pick me up from the Tower…
Gast: Huh? Did somethin’ happen?
Faith: Nothing really
Faith: Guess I’ll be joining this mochi pounding competition after all
Part 2
Gast: Ooh, suddenly got in the mood for it, huh
Faith: If I tell ‘em “I’m gonna pound some mochi with the rookies”, I’ll have an excuse to not go back home to my family
Will: Ahaha, I do pity Oscar-san a little…
Gast: Dunno what’s goin’ on, but it’s decided. Let’s head out to Little Tokyo at once♪
-
Tumblr media
Faith: Huuh, it’s pretty crowded here
Will: Little Tokyo does have the impression of it getting lively during the New Year. It seems to be the culture in Japan.
Gast: Haven’t you been here before, Faith?
Faith: Not much. I often tend to visit Chinatown instead whenever I’m in East. 
Faith: There’s this one Chinese restaurant that’s my fave, they serve some pretty delicious tea there. Right, Ren?
Ren: ….Although there’s this regular I’d rather avoid.
Town’s resident: Oooh, if it isn’t those hero fellas! Came to pound some mochi?
Will: Yes, may we participate too if possible?
Town’s resident: Absolutely! Here use this mallet and that mortar over there. There's enough sticky rice left so go at it as much as you'd like!
Will: Thank you very much♪
Gast: Looks like everything’s prepped already. Awright, who’s gonna do it?
Faith: Won’t you show us how it’s done first? Will and Gast
Will & Gast: Eh….
Faith: You both helped out Akira during New Years Heroes, no? Which means you two know the ropes already
Gast: Well, I’ve done it a few times, so I don’t really mind but…
Will: I don’t mind either.
Gast: O-ooh…
Faith: Then, we’ll be in your care♪
Will: I’ll use the mallet
Gast: Then I’ll take care of turnin’ it around
Will: Okay, let’s start. Watch out for your hands, Adler
Gast: Eh, w-wait a sec…! This is kinda scary!
Will: ….There’s nothing to be afraid of though.
Gast: I mean, I kinda felt a shiver down my spine…
Will: Do you want to do this or not? Akira said it himself how pounding mochi is about teamwork.
Gast: T-that’s right, it’s teamwork! Yeah, I’m good whenever.
Faith: Gast, don’t forget to watch out for your hands
Ren: Great personality as ever you got there, huh
Faith: Aha, why thank you♪
-
Gast: Alright, we did it
Faith: I was curious how it was gonna go at first, but by the end of it you two were in harmony, weren’t you?
Gast: I know right? Nice cooperation, Will♪
Will: You seemed to be terrified until the very end though
Gast: C’mon~ Haha……..
Will: Would you like to give it a shot, Faith-kun? I’m not sure if it served as an example, but you were able to grasp the general process of it, right?
Faith: I’m fine. Just watching is fun enough
Ren: Stop messing around for fun and help. Pounding mochi unexpectedly requires some physical power.
Faith: Eeh, that like makes me wanna do it even less
Gast: Then how about turnin’ the mochi ‘round? Wet your hands and flippin’ it over as you’re kneading it will do the trick
Faith: Hmmm. Well, I guess I could do that much
Will: Alright, let’s give it a shot, Faith-kun
Faith: Just don’t smash my hands, alright?
Will: Haha, I won’t so no need to worry.
Part 3
Gast: Huh, what a surprise to see them be in tune, eh?
Ren: It’s not bad
Will: Yeah, it went quite smoothly. Could this be the result of our dance practice from the other day? 
Faith: Those are way two different things, dancing and pounding mochi
Town’s resident: Oh, you hero fellas on the sidelines, if you got nothing to do why not use this mortar over here?
Gast: Hell yeah, Ren. How about we also show off our combination?
Ren: ….Watch out for your hands.
Gast: Wha- you too!?
Ren: C’mon, let’s go
Gast: OK, come at me any time♪
Faith: Heeeh, how fast. Aren’t they nicely in sync for being just teammates?
Will: These two did win the shooting tournament. They must have gotten used to working together.
Will: But we won’t lose to them. Faith-kun, want to try using the mallet next?
Faith: Uh, it’s not like we have to win or anything
-
Tumblr media
Faith: Huh. This choco flavored mochi’s pretty nice♪
Will: Fufu, I know right? I was certain that you would enjoy it.
Gast: This oshiruko’s delicious! The sweetness of it is just perfect, I can eat this forever
Ren: …? Will made this?
Faith: I helped out with the flavoring. Since my nightmares from the Academy had came back to haunt me.
Ren: I see…
Will: Ren, how’s the shoyu mochi? Is it to your liking?
Ren: It’s not bad.
Will: I’m glad♪ I’ve baked tons so make sure to eat a lot of them
Will: Fufu, this somewhat takes me back…We ate these at Akira’s house, together with our New Year’s meal
Will: Do you remember it? How you and Akira fought over who should break the kagami mochi, and in the end it got so solid it couldn’t break anymore.
Ren: ….You have a good memory of all that old stuff
Gast: How ‘bout you, Faith? Did you do anythin’ to celebrate the New Year?
Faith: What I did, huh? When I started out as a DJ I got called out a lot to New Year’s events so I didn’t go back home
Faith: And before that… Brad would come back home and our mother would cook up some extravagant meal.
Gast: Then, why not bring her what you made today?
Faith: Well, maybe…
Faith: And what did you do? Do delinquents also celebrate with their families or?
Gast: Nah, I’d liven it up with my bros on New Year’s. Since it was cold we’d be sharin’ our instant soup around with each other.
Faith: Aha, what a bad boy
Gast: I mean, I was a delinquent
-
Gast: Pheew~ Sure had my fill~ Can’t have a single bite after all that~
Faith: There’s still a lot left over. We brought so much with us to the point that we could have a mochi party every day.
Gast: Guess we’ll bring the leftovers to Marion and the others. Jacqueline wanted to eat some of ‘em anyway
Ren: Victor should be holed up in his lab.
Gast: Time to wrap up this mochi party then
Faith: Suppose I’ll head back home
Will: You mean to your family, or?
Faith: Yeah. It’ll make ‘em happy if I showed my face at least
Gast: Then bring as much leftover mochi as you want with you. It’d serve as a nice gift for your family too, nah?
Faith: I’m good on that whole gift thing.
Will: Why not take it home with you? I’m sure it’d make Brad-san and Oscar-san happy
Faith: Don’t have any intentions of pleasing these two though
Gast: Well, say it’s somethin' on my part. You did just so happen to tag along with this whole mochi party
Will: Please give some on my part too. Like this, you wouldn’t have to pay it any mind, right?
Faith: What an amazing pressure… You two have a knack for looking after others so in times like these it just feels like I’m being ganged up on
Ren: It’s payback for all that teasing you did.
Faith: Haaah, okay okay. I should bring something, right
Gast: Yup, you better do♪
Ren: Will, aren’t you going back?
Will: …Me? Yeah, I do have plans to do so but…
Will: Wouldn't you like to come with me? Akira didn’t say anything but he did seem concerned about you
Ren: ….I had a feeling it was going to be this
Ren: Don’t worry about me and go
Will: Ren…
Gast: It’s true, no need to worry since it’s all good
Will: Eh…
Gast: Do think he can work on communicatin’ properly but it’s exactly as he said.
Gast: Same goes for me, the whole team’s stayin’ at the tower. That’s why there’s no way he’s gonna be left alone any time soon.
Ren: …I prefer to be left alone.
Will: I see….
Will: Then, Faith-kun and I will be going to visit your families. I’ll take some mochi too, since I know Akira would love it.
Gast: Alright, we’ll be off to prof Nova’s lab then! We can prolly find Marion too in there
Will: Give Marion and the others my regards, Ren
Ren: I will
Will: Well then, Faith-kun, let’s be on our way
Faith: Mhm. See ya once break’s over
Gast: Yeah, be seein’ ya then!

You Need the Dark to See the Stars (fanfic)
I told you guys I would write a fanfic soon haha. 
This is a fanfic about Lydia having grown up in New York City and not being used to clearly seeing the stars at night. 
______________________________________________________________
Having grown up in New York City Lydia was constantly surrounded with the fast-paced life of living in the city. She was used to the chaos that startled tourists, she was one of those people that couldn’t fall asleep if there wasn’t noise coming from somewhere. She had her reservations when her father announced they would be going to Connecticut for a little bit, it was six months after her mother had died and though it probably sounded insane, being at home even though she wasn’t there anymore was a comfort. The walls and floors still had her mother’s imprint. An entire childhood filled with memories held in the creak boards on their front porch.
It was only going to be for a little bit though, she assumed, maybe getting out of the house would do her some good. Her mom always joked about how city people need to go to the countryside to get some fresh air every now and again, maybe this is just what Lydia needed. It quickly turned out to not be the case, just driving through the endless and monotonous country highways had Lydia itching for ...something to happen. It was too quiet, she thought she was dreaming when she saw a cow on the side of the road at one point. Besides New York the only place she had really been was New Jersey to see her grandparents and once she went to Philadelphia for some kind of class field trip in the second grade. She’d been to upstate New York too but nothing beat pulling up in the rock driveway of the house they’d be staying in. She didn’t understand why her dad had packed so much for this trip, sure it was the end of the school year but he would have told her if they were staying there the whole summer. Regardless she was told to pack almost everything she had and brought it with her on the trip, what was even more confusing was why Delia was tagging along. No matter how long they were staying it was kind of laughable that her dad thought Lydia even needed Delia.
Everything quickly hit the fan when she learned that they were never going back to New York, that they were all going to live here now. It was rubbing salt in the wound when he proposed to Delia, she hadn’t even known they were dating. She felt like her entire life was being replaced. New home, a new state, and now her dad was getting a new wife. Her mother hadn’t even been dead six months by that point. So much happened those early days of her living in the house, such a wide range of emotions that she didn’t take much notice of anything. It was just survival at that point.
After a chaotic week that encompassed kicking her father out, terrorizing the neighbors, an exorcism, a green-card marriage, and literally going to hell and back to say that Lydia was exhausted was an understatement. When things slowed down and she wasn’t dealing with exorcisms and possessions every five seconds she started to miss some of the craziness. It was too quiet in the house with all the adults, and ever since Beetlejuice had gone to the Netherworld to go on some vision quest Lydia had been feeling lonely.
Which she didn’t understand why she had so many people in the house that loved her and things were different now. They listened to her and she was allowed to talk about what she wanted, but being able to hear the wind and the rustling of trees from her bedroom window, it was unnerving. The quiet was dangerous because she was just alone with her thoughts, and she knew that wasn’t always the best place to be. She hardly slept and when she did it was nightmares of what happened, she’d wake up in a panic unable to calm down until she realized it was just a dream.
A week had passed since Beetlejuice had left, she tossed around the idea of summoning him but she felt selfish for even thinking about it after all she did to him. Instead, she found herself drawn to the roof again...not for the reasons before. She just felt it was where she needed to be. After being careful to not alert any of the adults as to what she was up to she pulled the window shut and stepped onto the flat part of the roof.
She walked over to the edge, careful to hold onto the railing, and just breathed. The chill June air filling her nose and she peered out to the scenery around her. She hadn’t taken notice of it when she was up here the first time, she was so focused on going through with her plan and then Beetlejuice that she hadn’t even realized how beautiful it all was. Trees for miles and miles, street lamps illuminating the main road, neighbors with houses decorated with little quirky nicknacks like flamingos and lawn gnomes. Looking down towards her own backyard and she could see the garden Adam and Barbara must have started before they died, it was illuminated with tiny glowing bugs that she had never seen in person before but knew they were called fireflies. The peaceful coos of nighttime birds, the rushing water from a creek she didn’t even know they had, the slow hum of cars driving past not consistently but enough. She didn’t ever realize how noisy the quiet was, all that was going on.
She laid down on the roof, with her hands behind her head, and looked up at the night sky. It was a perfect night, not a single cloud in her way. She was amazed by just how clear it all looked. Her mom always talked about how she wanted to take Lydia and her dad on a road trip to get away from the city for a while and just stare up at the sky, she promised Lydia when she was little that they would count all of the stars by the time they were through. Of course, six-year-old Lydia didn’t understand just how many stars there were in the sky, but her mother had been talking about this trip for years. It eventually became a running joke in the family that they would never end up going, but when Emily got sick the joke stopped being funny. The summer before she died they were supposed to go, not a whole road trip but Lydia had planned it all out, saved her money for almost a whole year just to surprise them with a camping trip upstate. They never got to go, she doesn’t even remember the reason why. She had to settle for trying to see the stars from her front porch, with all the tall buildings and light pollution blocking her view.
Now here she was, not exactly the trip they had planned but she was stargazing. Almost without meaning too, she started counting them, losing track and starting over. She started to doze off when she heard the window creak open. She didn’t react, just went back to mumbling the numbers and drawing pictures by connecting all the white dots.
“Lydia?” her dad asked, “What are you doing up here? I walked past your room and the door was open and you weren't in your bed.”
“Just wanted some fresh air. It’s so stuffy in my room.”
“You do know you have a window you can open, you don’t have to come on the..incredibly high roof.”
She glanced up and he was standing right above her head. She smiled at him, “Do you want to join me?”
“Join you?”
Lydia schooced over and patted next to her. He looked hesitant at first but he bent down, and with a typical dad groan he laid on his back and looked up at the sky. He put his hands on his stomach, “What are we looking at?”
“The stars.” Lydia told him, “They’re so clear tonight. When you were a kid did you get to see them a lot? I know you moved to the city for mom, was it hard having that shift in...everything?”
“It was hard, there was a lot to get used to but there was so much new stuff, and of course there was Emily and eventually you. I missed my hometown, but I loved what I had. Do you miss the city?”
Lydia shrugged, “Yeah, I wish you had told me we were moving. I could have maybe prepared myself a little better to have to change everything from a city slicker to a country girl.”
“Change everything?” he laughed
“Everything, dad you brought me to the middle of nowhere in Connecticut and I have no flannel, not camo, and most importantly I don’t even know how to play baseball so now I can’t have my underdog story where I join an all-boys team and wow the crowd because...girls can play baseball.”
“You have never been interested in sports in our life.”
“The point is that I could have been, and now I will never have the cinderella sports story. They could have made a movie about it.”
“Yeah?”
“Mmhh, and they’d get Brad Pitt to play you, my dad who cheered me on at every game.”
“I am so sorry I robbed you and the world of this. If it is any consolation, my life is the opposite of a Hallmark movie. Instead of Emily coming with me to the countryside, or you know just the suburbs, we moved to the big city.”
“Wow, our family missed out on so many movie opportunities. Tragic really.”
For a while they just laid up there, saying nothing. Lydia put her hand down in between them and he held it, just like he did when she was little and came into her parents’ room after having a nightmare.
“I wish mom got to see this,” she whispered, “that trip we had always planned. We never got to do this with her, she never got to see them.”
“I wish she could see this too.”
“I miss her.”
“I do too.”
Lydia shifted and looked over at her dad, she could see a faint tear streak going down his face. She didn’t mention it, she just laid back down and moved closer to him. They left space though, almost as if there was a third person between them. Someone else who should have been there looking up at the night sky with their family.

30 UtaPri Questions
I finally got around to doing this after being tagged so here we go :3
this is supposed to go on my main but i already saved the draft before i could do anything so oh well ;w;
Your Best Boy? Natsuki, but Cecil and Camus are not too far behind.
Your Least Favorite Boy? I don’t really have any; they’re all really nice.
A Character You Never Thought You Would Love as Much as You Do Now? Y-Yamato. . . There’s just something about him that makes me happy ÚwÙ
A Character You Can Relate to in Any Way? Otoya, I guess. I’m not exactly sure on how I should put it, though.
A Character That You Think Deserved More Love? Eiichi, definitely. I know he’s messed up a lot and I don’t agree with what he did, but it’s (not really but it’s there) simple to see he means well. I know what it’s like to do something I thought as good but ended up hurting someone else through it, which in turn hurt me. He had good intentions, but went with them the wrong way. I do understand why people feel so upset and angry towards him; in a way, he has been shown in a bad light. Then again, HEAVENS in general during their very first appearance in Season 2 were depicted to be like the main villains of the series. Then again, that’s probably just me overanalyzing again. Sorry for the rambling ;w:
A Character You Would Want as Your Partner/Lover? Haruka. Just Haruka. Let me smooch.
A Character You Would Want as Your Mentor/Senpai? Reiji! I mean, he’s Reiji. And maybe Cesshi. Or Masato. Maybe Camus if I’m allowed to make fun of him.
Your Favorite Ship? NatsuCam. Such a rare pair. Like, a really fucking rare pair. Most of the content for it is mine. Haha ;w;
A Character You Want to Cosplay/Have Already Cosplayed? I’d like to try Cesshi, but I don’t know if my skin’s dark enough for that so I don’t wanna risk any chances. An alternative may be Natsuki, but then I’d be a short kinda chubby-looking Natsuki. Kira’d be nice too though! But I’m probably a little too expressive for him;;; Nagi’d be a nice fit as well, I dunno :3
Favorite Side Character? I’m not really sure if Satsuki counts as a side character since he really only shows up during Natsuki-centered episodes. If not him, then Tomochika! She. Just she.
Your Favorite Solo Song? I found myself enjoying Cesshi’s solo songs a lot. Destiny Song really brings me in. Brand New Melody has a lil something to it that makes me really happy though. I don’t know what it is, but it gives me a nice feeling inside. I also really like SUKIxSUKI Hanamaru and Hatsukoi o Mata Hajimeyou!! Those are both really nice songs that make me feel really fluffy happy inside >w<! And Melting of Snow. And Hurrayx2 Dreamers. And there’s a lot of solo songs I like. Oops.
Your Favorite Duet Song? North Wind and SunShine. I just really like that song. Like, that was the duet song my mind really stuck onto when I first started playing SL. I got attached.
Your Favorite Trio Song? Kaleidoscope. When I watched the movie in theaters, that was the one I kinda got really hooked on;;;
Your Favorite Group Song? There’s Mirai Chizu and Maj LOVE 2000% and QUARTET NIGHT and Poison KISS and HEAVENS GATE and GIRAx2 SEVEN an—
Your Least Favorite Group Song? FORCE LIVE I guess?? I mean, the chorus is okay and stuff, but the other things in the song are just not really my taste. Like the beginning. The beginning just feels so eeeeehhh to me;;;
Your Favorite Singer? I think they’re all good how do choose favorite help—
Your Favorite Group/Trio/Duo? Favorite group is hard to choose; they all are good. Favorite trio is easily either the Kawaii Group or the White Chocolate Horse/Tea Party Group (Natsuki, Ren, and Camus). Favorite duo is also very easily the Royal Group.
Your Favorite Member of STARISH? Natsuki Shinomiya. Tsuki-chan. Ye. I love he. Cesshi’s also very close behind. He sweet. Beb. I also love he.
Your Favorite Member of QUARTET NIGHT? Camus. Used to be Reiji. Sorry, maracaboo. It all started when I got his My Only Prince UR (the first MOP card I got) which in turn made me go “I guess I’ll change Natsuki for him on my screen and then I tapped him and he go “high butler voice time hewwo mistwess uwu ^-^” and I went “holy shi—
Your Favorite Member of HEAVENS? Yamato!! I love him. I love his appearance. I love his clothing choices. I love his voice. I love his personality. I. Uh. Munscklez. Ha;;;;;;;;
Your Favorite Seiyuu/Voice Actor? Why do I have to choose one? I mean, unrelated but through their seiyuus and stuff I was able to find out Mamoru is in the Japanese dub of The Lorax and that put me through a fucking loop. Thanks, Mamo :3
Favorite Drama CD? Lycoris no Mori. Shit. That was. Made me remember that Vocaloid song The Wolf Who Fell in Love with Little Red Riding Hood. Also Black Hood Cesshi. Evil boi. Just doing evil spirit boi things. Kinda caused people to murder along the way but it’s okay because in the end he’s probably still dancing over their dead bodies in the woods. Also wolf Randolph Toki red-nosed bitch. Randolph sounds really close to Rudolph, don’tcha agree? And Blood Otoya. Or Brad Otoya. Or whatever. Who in their right mind thought Blood was a good name for a boi? Like, I know he has red hair and red eyes and a red hood and red blood an— Victor. Huntsman Ren. Ren with ponytail. H. That is all. H.
Your Favorite Shining Live Card? *slams hands on table* TEA. PARTY. UR. BOIS. Natsuki please come home soon ;-;
Your Favorite Song Beatmap? Any of the ones with slide notes. Like, a lot of them. Also just any really difficult song I somehow manage to FC on the first couple tries. Like I remember there was one song for an event I was playing in only to get more LP where there was like a fuck ton of notes. I forgot if if was 800 or 900, but there were a lot. And I managed to FC it first try. Haha whoops ;w;
Your Least Favorite Song Beatmap? Nothing really comes to mind except for the lower difficulty ones. When you play a lot of Pro songs, the lower ones just kinda get boring.
Black Dejavu or White Gravity? White Gravity definitely. I can’t believe Masato said “lol bye” and joined the Kawaii and Royal Groups. Also, Natsuki’s high notes. They told him to do it twice and he said “okay :D”. I know it has a more uniform(?) singing distribution and order, but that just personally fits me and my ears better :3
UtaPri Merch That You Own/Watch? I have a Prince Cat of Citron!! And a Natsuki face towel that came along with him. I wanna get either Lime or Aqua next, but I can’t choose who. Lime because second best boi, Aqua because third best boi and shipping reasons. Also, you ever follow accounts that have Prince Cats of different sizes and have them act out as if they’re like a lil family? I want that life. Like, there’s one I follow on Twitter with Rosso and Cielo and Iris and Arancia and Verde and a lil Aqua as their child and I adore them. They use emojis to represent who’s talking and the lil Aqua’s emoji is a lollipop it’s just so cute ;-;. . .
How did You Get into UtaPri? Shining Live. I saw that Klab had another idol rhythm game on the app store and went “Why not? I haven’t had one with guydols yet?” and look where we are now;;;
A Set Theme in Shining Live That You Want to See in the Future? I’ve been having a bunch of gacha set and event ideas on a note on my phone. Like street dancer, fairytales, zodiac, zookeeper, cyber, and seven deadly sins/four horsemen as gacha ideas (some I already made art concepts for;;;). And for events, I got carhop, first date kinda thing, and ice/figure skating. In short, I want a lot :3
Why Do You Love Your Best Boy? At first, it was because he adores cute things and I adore cute things and he’s cute so I adore him. After learning more about him, I do see more similarities between the two of us. The feeling of being betrayed and growing defensive because of it, his defense being Satsuki and mine is trying to use words to help me. The need to grow stronger to not be seen as a burden, to try and not rely and depend on others to fight our battles for us. There’s probably more I can dwell upon, but that’s all I can think about for now.
Tagging: I don’t know I’m sorry ;-;. . . Anyone who wants to do this can have the go ahead.

September 2018
“Hails, can you come here for a minute?” called Jess from her home office. I was folding the children’s laundry when I heard her voice so I quickly put finished folding Max’s onesie and put it in the pile I had already finished.
The Green family hired me to be their nanny when Nate was three, Ella was one year old, and Jess was just starting her fashion line in Vancouver. Initially, it was only supposed to be a one-year contract. However, three years later I am still happily working for their family. Since joining the Green family three years ago they had another son Max who has just turned 16 months yesterday. Jessica became a world-famous fashion designer. Tom got a job offer to be the official team doctor of the Toronto Blue Jays. When they asked me if I would be willing to move to back to my home province with them it was a no brainer to pack up everything and move with them. They had never treated me like I was just their employee; they made me feel like a part of the family since day one.
So here we are 5 months later settling into our new house, our new routine and our new city.
“Would you try this on for me?” asked Jess once I stepped into her home office. I noticed that hanging by the window was a beautiful black strapless dress.
I grabbed the dress from the hanger and made my way to the makeshift change room Jessica created. As I was putting on the dress I couldn’t help but look at my reflection in the mirror. What I was not expecting was for my breath to be taken away as I looked at my reflection. The dress accentuated my curves perfectly and made me feel confident in my body.  All throughout elementary school and high school, I was always chubby. Finally, in college, I took a hard look at myself in the mirror and realized I needed to make some changes for myself so I could be comfortable in my own skin. The next day I started the journey to living a healthier lifestyle and started working out four times a week and eating healthy. A year later I had lost 20 pounds and I had the curves in all the right places and I had lost my stomach fat.  
I took a deep breath and stepped outside of the change room. Jessica’s eyes widened and she gasped as she looked at me in her dress.
“Oh Hailey, you look absolutely breathtaking.  This dress will be perfect for tonight.”
“Um…. What’s tonight?”
“Oh my gosh! I thought we told you. The Maple Leafs are hosting an event for the season ticket holders and Tom and I can’t go. We thought you and Katie could go instead.”
Katie is my best friend since kindergarten that lives in Toronto and works for sick kids.
“Haha, no problem. I will text her now so that she gets a dress ready.”
“No, No. I have a dress here she can wear for tonight. It's my fault you guys didn’t get a heads up, it’s the least I could do.”
“Oh, Hailey. You just look so beautiful in that dress. That dress was made for you. Would you mind if I took your picture in it before you go so that I can post it on my Instagram?”
I grabbed my phone and took a picture in the mirror and airdropped it to Jess so that she could post it on her professional Instagram account.

As I was looking at the mirror, Jess walked behind me and whispered in my ear “the players will not be able to resist you.”
I quickly turned around and faced her “you know I don’t date athletes after what happened.”
“I know hails, but it will still be a confidence boost if they can't keep their eyes off of you.”
“Thank you, Jess, I appreciate everything you do for me.”
“Tom and I owe you more than this, you do an amazing job with our children. We love you and could not be happier that you are a part of this family.” Jess said as she pulled me in for a hug.
“It’s Friday night I can take care of the kids. Your off duty nanny Hails, go get ready for your evening.”
I grabbed the dress and headed towards my wing of the house. Our house in Toronto has a separate part of the house that has a kitchen area, and master bedroom separate from their living quarters. It is perfect for me as a 24-year-old as it gives me my own space from the family.
Once I got to my part of the house I set the dress down on my bed and pulled out my iPhone to call Katie to invite her to the event.
“What are you doing tonight?” I asked as soon as I heard Katie’s voice on the phone.
       “No hello first?” she questions giggling on the line.
       “Hello… Now answer the question!” I asked laughing.
       “I have no plans”
“Well, now you do. Jess and Tom can’t go to the maple leafs season ticket holder event so we are going instead. Jess says she has a dress here for you.”
“That’s so exciting! I will head over to your place after I shower.”
“Okay, see you soon,” I said as I disconnected the call  
Once Katie arrived Jess gave her the dress and we headed to my part of the house to get ready.  I quickly curled my brown hair into loose waves and did my make up so that my blue eyes would pop. Next, I grabbed my beige heels and slipped into the black dress.
Once ready we both walked into the main area to leave for the event. When we walked into the room Nate quickly ran up to me and gave me a big hug saying that I looked beautiful. Ella stated that I looked like a Disney princess and Max toddled over to me and gave me a big hug.
As we were standing at the front door Jessica came up to us.
“Oh, girls you guys look amazing, enjoy your evening and the open bar!”
“Thanks, Jess” we both smiled as we gave her a big hug.
With that, we were out the door and into the uber heading to the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. When we got to the gate we handed our event tickets to the security guard standing at the front of the building and headed into the event. Once we walked into the banquet hall we were handed a glass of champagne.
“To an awesome year of being in the same providence again” stated Katie as we tapped our glasses together, raising it up to our lips and taking a sip.  
As we looked around the room from our seats Katie noticed Brad the guy she was dating walk into the room. She pointed him out to me and linked her arm with mine as we made our way over to him to say hello.
“Brad, this is Hailey my best friend I was telling you about!” exclaimed Katie as she gave him a big hug.
Brad looked at me over Katie’s shoulder and stuck his hand out to shake mine.
“It’s very nice to meet you, Hailey, Katie has told me a lot about you.”
“All good I hope! We have gone on some crazy adventures together.” I exclaimed as I started giggling at the memory of losing my purse after a few too many drinks. That night ended with a phone call from the police stating they found my purse and meeting up with them to get it back.
I could tell Katie had told him about that night because when I looked at her she couldn’t stop giggling.
“Katie, says that you’re the trainer for the leafs. That must be a cool job”
“I am very lucky to be able to do what I do.”
“Babe would you be able to take a picture of Hailey and me?” she asked as she handed him her phone.
We quickly sat down on the couch, holding up the wine bottle and wine glasses that we had been drinking since arriving at the gala.
Just as we were posing for the photo brad tried to get us to laugh for a candid photo.
“Try not to lose your purse tonight Hailey.” He said laughing.
We couldn’t contain our laughter as we remembered that adventure. As we were laughing Brad kept taking our picture getting natural laughing photos.
“Hahaha, I’m not planning on drinking that much tonight. It’s your girlfriend here that is the bad influence.”
“Now that I believe,” added Brad as he sent a wink Katie’s way.
“Hey,” Katie said not being able to keep faking her anger as she burst out laughing.
Brad handed Katie her phone back and we scrolled through the photos.
“Oh My God, these pictures are amazing,” I stated as I looked at the photo of us laughing. “Send it to me so I can post it onto my Instagram account!”

Katie and I headed back over to the table we were assigned and sat down. Once at the table, a beautiful blonde came up to us
“You guys look beautiful in your dresses. I’m Lucy.”
I gave her a smile “Thank you. You look beautiful as well. My name is Hailey.”
“I’m Katie.”
“I must ask where did you get your dresses. They look amazing.”
“Jess Green designed them for us,” Katie said as she smiled at Lucy. ‘Hailey here is her children’s live-in nanny” Katie added.
��Wow, that’s amazing. How old are the children you look after?” asked Lucy as she sat down at the table with us as she had happened to be assigned to the seat, Katie.
“They are 6 years old, four years old and sixteen months old.”
“wow, you have your hands full. My son is eight months old.”
“awe, would I be able to see a photo?” I asked.
“Of course,” Lucy said as she pulled out her phone and showed me a picture of her son.
“We will have to have a play date in the park soon” stated Lucy “What’s your Instagram?”
“sounds good. It’s @haileybaker95.”
“You should meet my friend Morgan…. he won't admit it but you have him nervous and he has been trying to work up the courage to come to talk to you since you walked into the event,” Lucy whispered into my ear.
I looked around her a noticed that Morgan Rielly was looking our way. I’m not going to lie he was very attractive. He was wearing a blue suit with a burgundy tie.
Lucy waved at him and he slowly made his way over with Jake trailing behind him.
Once Morgan got to the table he sat down in his spot that happened to be beside me.
“Morgan this is Hailey and Katie. Girls this is Morgan and Jake my husband.”
“Morgan, Hailey lived in Vancouver as a nanny for three years and they just moved to Toronto,” Katie said sending me a wink.
“Really! That’s awesome where did you live?”
“We lived in North Vancouver”
“I grew up in North Vancouver and go back every summer.”
“I absolutely loved living in BC… it has beautiful waters and breathtaking mountains.”
“What brought you back to Toronto?”
“The family I work for got a job as the team doctor for the Toronto Blue Jays so we made our way here. I grew up just outside of Toronto so it's nice to be home.”
“I love living in both Toronto and Vancouver.”
“Mo did you actually stick to the diet this summer?” asked Jake as he started teasing him.
“I didn’t break the diet I just bent it a little.” Added Morgan as he started laughing.
“Mo here is notorious for buying chips every time he is at the grocery store.” Added Jake.
“You always need sweet chilly heat chips in your shopping cart.” Added Morgan.
“Chips are my weakness… well, that and ice cream on top of freshly baked chocolate chip cookie.” I said.
“I can’t even go down the frozen aisle or I am game over!” Morgan exclaimed. “Warm cookies and ice cream are the A plus of desserts! You get warm from the cookie and the cold from the ice cream and the cookie starts to melt the ice cream.
“Hailey here is an amazing baker” added Katie.
“You will have to bake me some cookies then” stated Morgan as he started to flirt with me.
“Sounds good,” I said as I sent a smile Morgan’s way.
I couldn’t help the wave of emotions that took over me as I felt this connection with Morgan that I never felt before.  It was like something was pulling us together.
Immediately flashbacks of Lucas came rushing into my head, specifically his words of “no one will ever love you as I do.”
I quickly excused myself from the table and headed to the ladies room, both Lucy and Katie following me.
“You’re probably wondering why I basically ran to the bathroom,” I said as I looked at Lucy through the mirror.  “I’m not going to lie. I’m scared of the connection I already have with Morgan and I just met him. I promised myself that I would not date another athlete after what happened.”  
Lucy stepped right beside me “may I ask why you don’t want to date another athlete?”
“I dated a hockey player while I was living in Vancouver. He had just been called up to the Canucks and he made me fall for him fast. I was so in love with him I thought we would be getting married and starting a family. What I didn’t know was that throughout our 2-year relationship he was cheating on me the whole time. When I found out I was heartbroken and I couldn’t believe that the person that I thought was going to start a life with betrayed me in such a way. When I broke up with him he convinced me that he would change and that I was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.”
I took a deep breath and continued with the story.
“I stupidly gave him another chance and he manipulated me into believing that no one would ever love me besides him and that he was the one for me. For months I couldn’t get them throughout his affairs out of my mind. But every time I thought about leaving I couldn’t get his words out of my head… What if no one else would ever love me? What if he was it for me? What if no one could love some who was too weak to leave a bad situation?”
As I finished telling her what Lucas had done, she pulled me into a big hug
“Oh Hailey, I can not even imagine what that must have been like. But I can promise you that Morgan would never do that. I have known him six years and I can tell you he is one of the sweetest guys I know.” She said as she pulled out of the hug.
I quickly wiped the tear that fell from my eyes and smiled at Lucy “Oh my god, I am so sorry that was an emotional story for just meeting someone but thank you for being here for me. I guess I needed to get that off my chest.”
We headed out of the bathroom and I walked towards Katie and Brad, Lucy made her way towards where Jake and Morgan were standing.  Throughout the rest of the evening, Morgan and I could not stop locking eyes but neither of us made the move to talk to each other again.
As the event was winding down, I pulled out my phone to call an Uber. As I made my way outside to wait outside Morgan came towards me and opened the door for me to step through.  
“Thank you.”
Just as we walked out of the hotel my uber arrived.
“That’s me,” I said as I gave Morgan a hug.
“Have a good night Hailey. I hope I can see you soon. ” He replied giving me a smile.
“Maybe Morgan. Have a good night” I turned around and said as I stepped into my ride.
Once in the car, I couldn’t believe I had just hugged Morgan… Like who does that to someone they just met and had a couple of conversations…. Especially one who was as well know as Morgan in the city of Toronto that was like hugging a celebrity after meeting them in the streets.
Morgan’s Point Of View
All night I couldn’t help but look at the mysterious brunette in the black dress as she stood across the room from me. I noticed her as soon as she walked into the room and she took my breath away when I saw her in that black dress. She looked absolutely beautiful but I couldn’t work up the courage to talk to her.  I watched as her blue eyes had a sparkle to them as she laughed at what her friend had said.
Lucy noticed my staring and gave me a reassuring smile as she headed towards the mystery brunette that had captured my attention.  
Once Lucy introduced me to her I found out my mystery girls is named Hailey. Once we started talking about Vancouver and our favourite junk food I knew I was in trouble and that I could see myself pursuing something with her.
Throughout the rest of the night, I couldn’t help but lock eyes with Hailey, as I was walking around the room and engaging with the other fans.  
I noticed that Hailey was making her way outside to head home so I quickly ran to the door and held it open for her. The uber came to quick for my liking and I did not have the chance to ask for her number. Defeated I headed inside to find Lucy hoping that she had better luck than me.
Once inside the hotel, I found Lucy and Jake walking out of the banquet hall. I walked towards them.
“Hailey huh” Jake stated as he moved his eyebrows in a suggestive manner.
“I didn’t even get a chance to get her number.”
“I have her Instagram handle Morgan. I didn’t even think to get her phone number,” added Lucy as she gave me a smile.
I handed Lucy my phone and she opened a note on my iPhone and typed in Hailey’s Instagram. We said our goodbyes and I headed back to my place.
Once in bed, I opened my Instagram app and typed in her account name and clicked follow. I scrolled through her pictures and I couldn’t help but smile.
With each picture I saw on her account the more I wanted the chance to get to know her better.
Hailey’s Point of View
Our new place was in Forrest Hill so I hopped into an uber and headed home after the event ended. Once I got home I quietly opened the front door and made my way through the house to my wing. I opened my door and placed my jacket and wallet on my coat rack and made my way into my bedroom to put on my pajamas. Once in my pajamas, I made my way into my adjoining bathroom and started my nightly routine. My bed was calling my name so I quickly jumped into bed and laid my head on my pillow, just as my head hit the pillow I heard a ding from my bedside table. I looked over at my phone and noticed that I had a notification from Instagram. I opened the app and saw that some followed me. I assumed it would have been Lucy since I gave her my account name but to my surprise, I saw that two people follow me.

The Neighbor - Chapter 5
By Negan_Love
Summary: You'd thought that you were happily married. That was until your not new neighbor moved in next door...
Tumblr media
Previous Parts: 1 2 3 4
Dinner was pretty much ready, you just needed to steam the rice once Negan arrived. You’d thought carefully about what to wear, not wanting to look like you were trying too hard. You’d settled on some skinny jeans and an oversized shirt, buttoned just enough that you knew you wouldn’t give away any of the good stuff.
When the doorbell rang, your belly did a little flip. For goodness sake, get a grip of yourself. He’s a friend. Nothing more. At least not yet.
Pulling the door open, you were once again stunned by just how beautiful this man was. He had trimmed his beard a little since you saw him last, and you wanted to touch it. “Hi.”
“Hey you.” Negan winked and leaned in to kiss your cheek. “How you holdin’ up?”
“Oh, I’m okay.” You tried to ignore the tingle you felt on your face, and willed the blush you could feel creeping up your neck to stay away. “I need to just get this done. I can’t believe he’s away until next week, I feel like I’m trapped in some kind of hiatus, not able to move on yet!”
“Yeah, I get that. Well. Let’s see if we can’t give that brain something else to think about for the evening eh?!” He walked past you, grabbing your hand as he did. “Come on, lets choose a movie for later. You have anything in mind?”
“I’m kinda in the mood for something scary.”
“You don’t need to pretend to be scared for me to give you a cuddle you know, sweetheart! I’m all over that, whatever fuckin’ movie we watch.”
“Haha!” You smiled, slightly embarrassed. “Well, there’s a bunch of DVD’s under the TV, or have a little look on Netflix, see what you fancy. I’m gonna go get the rice cooking.”
———
“Would you like a glass of wine with dinner?” You called through to the living room.
“Please.” His deep voice came from right behind you, startling you, and making you drop the glass you had in your hand. “Shit, sorry. I didn’t meant to scare you, let me clean that up. Where do you keep your dustpan?”
“Oh, don’t worry, I got it. D’you wanna open this?” You handed him a bottle of red, and tidied up the mess. “Did you choose a movie?”
“Yeah, what do you reckon to World War Z? I love a zombie movie!”
“Sure. I love a Brad Pitt movie!”
Negan chuckled and poured a couple of glasses of wine. “Do you want me to take anything else through?”
“Nope. Go sit down, I’ll be through in a second.”
———
Dinner with Negan was everything you could want. As always, he was full of compliments, and the conversation flowed more naturally than you could have ever hoped for. It was in stark contrast to spending time with Eugene. How have I gone along with this for so long?! What a waste. The thought was depressing, and it must have shown on your face, because Negan reached over and held your hand.
“You alright, darlin’? I don’t want you to ever look so sad when we’re together. What’s wrong?”
“Oh it’s nothing, I just can’t believe I’ve let myself live this life for so long. Why didn’t I wake up sooner? I mean, what a waste. I’m 35. I’ve spent almost all of my adult life with a man who’d rather blow things up, than come to bed with me!”
“Well shit! I gotta say, I’m a big fan of blowing shit up! But sweetheart, there ain’t nothin’ that would keep me from taking you to bed if I had the chance! I’m sorry you think you’ve wasted your time, but honestly, life’s all about learning. And I’m pretty sure you’ve learnt something from this, so I don’t think you’ll ever let yourself be so unappreciated again as long as you live. You gotta take the positive’s outta this. Otherwise you’ll be sucked down by all the negatives. If you let me, I’m here. You’re not alone. I promise you that. As much or as little as you like. I got nowhere else to be.”
His words hit you right in the gut. He was right. So right. Embrace what’s in front, not what’s behind you. And right now, Negan was in front of you. You stood, walked around the table, and straddled Negan’s lap. Holding his cheek in one hand, and placing the other in the centre of his chest, you took a deep breath. “Thank you.” You whispered, before placing your lips against his. You kissed him with every ounce of need that you felt. You wanted him. God I want him. So you tried to convey just how much you needed him in one kiss.
His hands started at your waist, and gradually moved higher, until they were in your hair, holding your head in place, while he devoured your mouth. You couldn’t remember the last time a kiss had felt so good. You whimpered a little when he pulled away, missing the feeling of his lips against yours. “I don’t want you to rush into anything sweetheart. As much as I love doing this with you, if you want to wait until you’ve dealt with your situation, that’s cool.”
“Thank you. You’re so sweet to me. But I’m not ready to stop kissing you yet!” Leaning forward, you kissed him again, running your tongue along his lip, asking for entry to his mouth. The second he opened up for you, you took advantage, teasing his tongue with your own, revelling in the taste of this beautiful man. When you finally pulled back, you were both breathless, and you rested your forehead against his, trying to bring your heart rate back to normal. Was it ever like this with Eugene?
A minute or so later, Negan stood, with you still straddling him, and walked over to the couch. He plopped you down gently and kissed the top of your head, “Get the movie on, beautiful. I’ll be back in a second.”
When he returned, you’d made yourself comfortable, stretching your legs out along the sofa, and had the movie ready to go. Lifting your legs, he sat down, placing them back down across his lap. “How ‘bout you stay awake this time?!” He smirked, as he started massaging your feet.
“Hmmm, I can’t promise anything I’m afraid!” Already the pleasure from him gently manipulating your feet, had your eyes half closing. “You’re REALLY good at that, you know. I didn’t even realise how much I ached.”
About 10 minutes or so later, Negan gave you a nudge, making you open your eyes. “I’m not asleep! I’m really not!”
“I know! I just wanted one of those hugs we were talking about earlier.”
His eyes had turned dark again, and your belly did a little flip. “Sure.” You smiled.
You moved closer, and settled yourself next to him, as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder, pulling you even closer. Resting your head on his chest, and as his hand settled on your hip, you breathed him in, feeling incredibly comfortable. We fit together perfectly.
As you watched the movie, you found yourself daydreaming about a life with Negan. He just seemed so perfect. Surely it couldn’t be so simple. You were probably going to find out he was some kind of axe murderer, or bigamist or something. Telling yourself not to dwell on things, you glanced up, to see that his eyes were closed. You pulled yourself closer, so you could kiss him. He stirred, and responded immediately, pulling your body pretty much on top of his, and passionately kissed you back. In a blur, you hoisted one leg across him, so you were straddling his lap, and felt his hardness pressing into you. Oh god!
As you nipped at his bottom lip, he rocked his hips, rubbing his crotch against you. “Ah!” He kissed you back forcefully, and reached up to grasp the back of your neck with one hand. The other pulling you in at the small of your back, as his hips continued to nudge his hard cock against you, making your head loll backwards in pleasure.
He rewarded you, with a sucking kiss on your exposed neck, and then growled against your ear, “If you don’t tell me to stop, I’m gonna carry this on until we’re both seeing stars, baby.”
As much as your body was screaming at you to continue, you knew you’d feel shitty afterwards. “Yeah.....we should stop.” You sighed, resting your head against his. “Thank you. For being here with me. I know it’s gotta be frustr...”
Negan cut you off before you could finish, “Baby, you gotta get off my lap. Your hot pussy, cradling my dick is nearly more than I can take.”
“Oh, sorry!” You quickly jumped off his lap, and couldn’t help staring at the, quite frankly, huge bulge in his pants. You licked your lips, and met Negan’s dark gaze.
“Don’t worry sweetheart,” he said with a smirk, “little Negan will be ready and waiting, when the time is right.”
Settling back down on the sofa next to him, you tried to concentrate on what was left of the movie. But when you felt him press his nose into your hair and inhale, you felt like your heart stopped beating. Little things this man did, made you feel more wanted than Eugene ever had. I hope this isn’t too good to be true.

Facebook is truthstrapped
I’m old enough to remember Myspace, but was not cool enough to have had an account. I got on Facebook in middle school, when statuses still started with “is,” only a year or two before Facebook overtook Myspace in users in 2009. I made an account for the games, having transitioned from the click-and-wait online game Outwar which fleshed out some of the ideas used in so many Clash of Clans-like smartphone games today. In Outwar you receive a certain number of units every day and expend them to attack other users and take their territory, which allows you a larger daily income of units to spend tomorrow. If you wanted to you could go further back and track my transition from Neopets to Outwar – Neopets, which showed me the fulfillment potential of doing simple tasks every day for a small reward, neopoints, which you could spend on food for your pet, custom paintbrushes, or other items. Visit Jellyland for the free daily jelly, go to the giant omelette, try your luck at the Wheel of Misfortune. I was an excellent little capitalist, thanks to these games. And by middle school I felt ready for my transition into Facebook.
During my first week on the site I uploaded an album of funny pictures my brother and I had saved on our shared computer and tagged my friends in the album. They went through it and commented with our in-jokes, lol’s, and haha’s. I set my profile picture to one of the funny pictures which featured a cat apparently whipping it’s tail at another cat and inflicting 9999 damage, according to the overlaid special effects. Like a real Facebooker, I posted on my friends walls and got in poke wars. But I had a certain sense that I was not really using Facebook. That there was another tier of users whose pictures were their real face, whose relationship statuses were not hidden, who posted photo albums from outings with friends. To me, I realized, Facebook was another site with daily tasks – share a status – and rewards – count the likes. It was a game. It was Neopets.
Forbes suggested in 2011 that the reason Facebook had overtaken Myspace was because it adapted to the market and its let users take control of the direction of growth. Myspace was bought by an experienced media company which laid out their own set direction of growth, and that direction was at odds with what users wanted. But exactly what aspects of that direction were wrong? There was a time when Myspace was the most visited site in the US. Facebook was a late comer with an unoriginal idea, so why did it win?
In 2015 an interviewer asked Mike Jones, the former CEO of Myspace, that exact question. Jones answered, simply, that Facebook won because they forced users to use their real names. When Myspace was just starting, people were still hesitant to reveal their names on the internet. It wasn’t part of our culture. It was risky. So when Facebook decreed that their site was not a place for online handles but for real people, they anchored themselves to real society. This, it turns out, was the right direction to head.
For me, as middle school ended and high school began, my profile picture went through a few more phases – a map of the country of Jordan, a cartoon cutout from the You Are a Pirate meme, a screenshot of Brad Neely’s Washington, but by sophomore year I had settled on an actual picture of me, having noticed the popular kids doing so. People started talking about “Facebook stalking” their crushes, which implied a market for the curation of my profile, so I filled in the about me section and picked a favorite quotation. I would hear talks of how annoying it was when you got a notification from a friend inviting you to play a game and so I stopped playing games on Facebook. My friends started owning smartphones with cameras and so my albums began to fill up with actual pictures of me. I got invitations to New Year’s parties and Marching Band invitationals and then referred back to Facebook when checking the date and location of the events later. Slowly Facebook became less like Neopets and more like a reflection of my actual social life.
Truthstrapping is what happens when something starts as a reflection of the truth and eventually becomes reliable enough to be indistinguishable from the truth. When you are standing in the bathroom looking at the mirror and someone walks in behind you do you turn and look to verify that the mirror isn’t lying to you? Maybe not. I’ve noticed that when I see a name I don’t recognize on my Facebook news feed, I assume that at some point I must have met them at a party or something, otherwise why would we be friends? Facebook was designed to be a reflection of your social life, but at some point I think it truthstrapped itself into being a standalone aspect of your social life. In fact social media is so independently important in some of my friend groups that a lot of my friends have to explicitly mention when they aren’t on Facebook. There are people I know who are completely different on and offline, because they’ve learned the skill of social media differently than the skill of in-person socializing. And if you weren’t paying attention then you might have been surprised that those are even two separate skills.
Google search also truthstrapped itself. Google started off with the goal of cataloging the useful information on the internet so that users could find it faster. There were trustworthy sources that were likely to present true and relevant information, and there were untrustworthy and irrelevant sources, and their job was to help you search through them. This, of course, included when you would search for things like “furniture store” and end up with a long list of furniture stores’ websites, each purporting to be the best store, so you can imagine why search engine optimization became important for an online brand. But notice that in that very same moment the Google feed also takes on a life of its own. If there is no true single best furniture store, then the best a Google search should be able to do is reflect that they are basically tied. Yet for a user who is expecting the top result on Google to be the best, it becomes valuable for a company to be able to be that top result. Again, something that begins as a reflection of reality eventually becomes reliable enough to become indistinguishable from reality. “Furniture House is the top Google search result, so it must be one of the major stores.” In a way, a statement like this has its logic – if everyone agrees that being the top search result is desirable then the largest companies with the most resources should be the most capable of appearing at the top of the feed. But I don’t think this is how we think when we use Google. Unless we’re looking for a marketing firm it doesn’t really matter to us which business is the best at showing up in your search results. The truth is more surface-level: it matters to us which business is at the top of the page because businesses at the top of the page reliably tend to be better.
So what happens when a truthstrapped source starts to loosen its tight coupling with the truth?
