#so. heres my description. the show was inside a video rental store that is beloved by the community#they have a small coffee bar so i got a lavender lemonade#the only ppl my age were the children of one of the guys in the band#also artists.#everyone knows everyone. even i know everyone#theres one dude who is famous for setting up an easel in clubs and painting with no hesitation. he did not do that but he brought a painting#to display during the show. he did tai chi in the corner during the show (which was a rock band.) while his girlfriend- who i’ve known since#i was very small bc she used to run events at the local bookstore- who is dressed very goth is crocheting and not paying attention to him#another guy famous for dancing at shows (often wearing a carrot costume.) was there. he was wearing a colorful blouse that was very ripped#and two pairs of glasses he glued together so one is upside down and the other is rightside up. he dances. intrestingly. and he was filming#himself. not the band. himself. the whole time. He brought a friend who was not wearing shoes. (it was pouring rain outside? and this venue#is literally not somewhere comfortable to walk on barefoot?) who tried to dance but wasnt very good so he kept lookin at the carrot guy for#help. pretty much everyone in the room got a shout out. ppl who havent seen me in years recognized me for some reason#god it was. tiring#we went with my dad’s best friend. who has the same name as my mother so ppl. still seem to confuse them lmao#esp bc my mom doesnt like to go to as many things to its often. my dads best friend my dad and me. which does look like a family ig

Hey,i saw your reqs are open! So if i may, can i request for gojo with a fem s/o who i as strong as him but no one knows that since she hides that from EVERYONE. (Maybe she thinks shes alone with a curse and she is toying with a special grade curse and easily kills it, and gojo accidentally sees that and is like.... You're stronger than you let ppl know?)
Thats it and i hope u have a great day!!
Family Formation - Part Nine
Summary: Satoru discovers the extent of readers cursed technique.
CW: fluff, canon typical violence, mentions of mythology, fluff, fluff, teen satoru and reader (17/18), the elders (angry face)
A/N: this was SUCH A FUN REQUEST I love reading about powerful readers so this was a lot of fun to write, I wrote it this was bc I also felt I needed to explore their dynamic pre-relationship and also Y/N’s cursed technique before I get to other *ahemshibuyaahem* parts of the story. thank u all so much for all the love and support :) <3

Tumblr media
The sunlight reached its peak, reflecting off Satoru’s bright white hair. Geto was bored and taking a ‘rest’ day and Shoko… well, she threw a water bottle at home when he even approached her room. That left you, he needed someone to hang out with, something to do because all of this hanging around was going to drive him even nuts than he already was. He text Shoko, asking where you were since you two were joined at the hip usually and you weren’t answering your phone. She replied telling him you’d been sent on a mission alone that morning – some abandoned orphanage down by the Shinjuku district. The next line nearly made the man’s eyes pop out of his head – a semi-grade one? Alone? You were only in second grade and the same age as him. Only a 1st year. Sure, you could hold your own in a fight but – this seemed like a reckless match.
Pulling on his sneakers and bomber jacket (not wearing his uniform felt weird) he Googles Shinjuku Abandoned Orphanage and finds an article about one being shut down 3 years ago due to the children speaking of ‘witnessing paranormal activity’, it had been closed due to the terrible publicity surrounding it. He rang for a driver and pointed him in the right direction.
A 20-minute ride was filled with Satoru thinking about how he should have been sent on this mission – not you, he was the strongest sorcerer alive after all. He kept telling himself the gnawing feeling in his gut was excitement for a fight – not worry, he wasn’t worrying about you. No, not. Why would he?
He could hear Suguru’s voice in his head from their last mission together.
“Bro, you love her. Just accept it, my guy. It’s clear she’s into you too.”
The car pulls up and Satoru unfolds himself from the back seat and waves the driver off. The building in front of him is surrounded by barbed wire fences, it’s been vacant for a long time if the boarded-up windows set in the building’s imposing front are anything to go by. He could sense a strong cursed energy, definitely a semi-grade one – along with something else, something stronger. Something far more ancient and far more powerful. It was familiar but different.
He had to find you.
He pinpointed the location where both energies were – third story, east wing, 5 doors down the corridor. He raced his way down thinking about how he’d love to practice his techniques warping abilities so he could quit all this running around. Maybe someday in the future, he’ll be able to just *poof* into a room. He was surely gonna do that to annoy Shoko.
He slowed down, nearing the room as he heard a familiar laugh coming from the room.
He knew that laugh, it always made his heart skip a beat – but why were you laughing now?
You were meant to be in danger. Not that he was hoping to be your knight in shining armour so he could see that shiny look of adoration in your eyes – no, that’s ludicrous.
The door was hanging off its hinges and nothing could have prepared him for what he saw inside the room.
You.
Y/N.
But – different.
You stood, your stature still miniature in comparison to his lanky, boyish frame but you seemed so much larger now, your presence was pulsating through the room – overwhelming to anyone but him.
Your feet were bare on the concrete floor and you seemed to almost hop around your prey, your tiny little hands, nails usually painted a pretty pale green – we’re still pale green but not your nails, no – claws were protruding out of your dainty little hands. He could see from here they were as sharp as any cursed knife. Your hair, seemed longer and wait, were those… vines? Vines and leaves seemed to grow from your head as naturally as the hair itself, mingling with the pretty cascade of your hair down your spine. Your eyes he so often couldn’t take his own off were alight and you were talking, and when you opened those pretty lips that he flirted with you about how much he’d like to taste your lip gloss – leaving you to tell him to save his flirts for someone he was into (both of you were so oblivious to the obvious feelings that you held for each other that Shoko and Suguru might cry if it went on any longer), he saw two sharp as needle fangs, pearly white on your pillowy lips.
You were completely and utterly ethereal.
What shocked him – was the mess in the middle of the room. A grotesque mess of a curse – horrifyingly long, spindly limbs attached to a body that was just stretched mottled skin over bones – the whole body covered in beady eyes, almost insect-like. The creature had no discernible head, just those torturous limbs. He’d seen worse things before.
He had seen your techniques, you could do things like to make a wall of thorns to deflect curses - he’d seen you summon whips of vines to lash at and bind a curse, he’d even seen you seemingly have a chat with a ladybug one day. And of course, your marksmanship with your cursed longbow was unrivalled, sniping shots that seemed impossible. He knew you were a very capable sorcerer, the most intelligent he knew in the school (even beyond Nanami). Your love for books helped that too.
What shocked him was what you had done. It looked like the very earth was cooperating with your every whim, grasses and vines and tree branches had broken their way through the floor and were caging the fighting curses limbs as they grew weaker and weaker against your onslaught. There was a beam coming through the ceiling, moonlight? At 2 pm? It seemed to sear and burn the curse in licking flames as it shot down onto it before returning to the shape of a small, silvery orb and absorbing itself into your palm.
“You lay here, waiting each day for night to fall, didn’t you? To prey on these children, to torture their little minds with fears and terrors – to be the monster under their bed. The children who were already scarred and frightened – but you knew that, and you loved it, didn’t you? Oh, you loved the feeling of drinking up the screams of those innocent children – and do you know what that makes you? It makes you a monster. Funnily enough, my family were taught and raised for one destiny, but me especially, I was born with ancient rage, and I was born with the strength for one thing – to kill monsters, just like you.”
And with that, you notched an arrow into your bow and muttered something under your breath.
“You won’t harm anyone anymore. Sleep well.” And with a smile, the arrow tip glowed a soft gold and flew threw the air into the restricted body of the curse who was quickly engulfed in a golden light as it screamed and fell, returning to the ground as nothing but dust.
“Nurture the earth now, do some good for the world.” You whisper, low enough that Satoru could barely hear. How you still manage to keep your heart so soft will always amaze him.
Satoru’s phone dropped from his hand, and you spin, notching another arrow into your bow and aiming directly at his head.
You gasp when you realise who’s here.
“Gojo, what are you doing here? How long have you been there?” You ask, lowering your weapon.
“Y/N. What the fuck. YOU HAVE CLAWS.” His jaw was hanging open, hardly believable image of what he’d seen.
That ancient energy wasn’t another curse, you hadn’t been in danger – you had been the danger.
You sigh. Gojo would have found out sooner or later, guess it was sooner. A part of you was worried about what he’d seen, would he think it ugly? Would he think you cursed? This boy – you had accepted your feelings but even though you thought (idiot) he’d never love you back, you didn’t want him to think any less of you.
Well, no escaping this conversation now.
“Wanna grab boba? I’m done here so, we can grab some on the way back to school. I’m guessing you have some questions.”
Uncharacteristically quiet, he just nods.
You walk ahead, slinging your bow on your back and taking out your phone. He sees you dial Yaga’s number.
“Hey, yeah it’s all done. Just as we thought.” You say, and he hears the deep rumble of his sensei’s voice through the speaker.
“Yeah thing is, I’ve had an unexpected visitor. Seems someone thought I might not be able to do it alone so showed up at the end. Yeah, I have it handled. Yup, exactly who you think. Yaga! Stop! I’ll see you later.”
You hang up the phone, just as you reach your favourite boba shop.
“Drinks are on you, Satoru – you gatecrashed my mission.” You smirk.
“Hardly gatecrashed if I turned up and feared for the safety of my pretty face!” The shock had worn off now and he was just in awe and desperate to hear what the fuck he witnessed.
He ordered you both your usual orders and sat across from you at a secluded table outside. You notice the dewy drop of sugary tea on his lip, his skin glistening under the golden sun. God. How can someone be that beautiful, surely it’s illegal?
“So sugar - you’ve been hiding something from your dearest darling best friends, haven’t you?” He looks at you with eyebrows raised.
“Not my choice. It’s a complicated situation. Yaga thought it best to keep it under wraps until I’m 18.”
“I hear ya – but the question still stands: keep what under wraps? Here was me coming to my princess’s rescue,” your cheeks flushed at his (what you thought) casual flirting.
“It’s a long story – you sure you’ve got nothing better to be doing, Mr Honoured One, no ladies to dazzle with those pretty eyes of yours?” You laugh, slurping up a brown sugar Pearl.
“Oh I’ll always have enough time for you, sugar, plus – am I not dazzling a pretty girl now?” You both giggle it off, unaware that he’s being serious and that you were dazzled by him long before today.
There’s a beat of silence.
“My family’s inherited technique. The elders think it’s long extinct but I was born with it. Legend says my family is descended from dryads, forest spirits, you’ve known that nature is the root, no pun intended, of my technique since the start but – it goes a bit deeper. I’m listed as grade two, but only because the elders don’t know the truth. I’m meant to hide everything until I’m 18, so only 5 months left to go anyway. The elders will throw a bitch fit when they find out. Your ancestor La and mine worked together, and when I was born my mother and grandmother chose to keep the technique hidden until I was legally an adult and could make my own informed choices about whether or not I wanted to stay part of the jujutsu world. The elders… don’t take kindly to my family. We’re kind of considered outcasts, like the Inumaki clan.” You say, taking a breather to sip your drink.
“Why? Your mom is so nice” He adds in.
“Ah well, my family, we’re very much a matriarchal family. The women have typically done everything in their power to fight the elders on their idiocy. Given that they’re old, sexist men – this didn’t go down well. So we’ve typically been hounded by them. Then, I was born. Not only the heir to my clan but a woman which ancient cursed abilities. Our family has always scared them, but I’m their worst nightmare trifecta. I made a deal with my family, I’d keep it secret until I’m 18, then I’m free to do as I wish..” You added, smiling, because in truth – being the bane of the elders’ lives was a source of pride.
“So they hid it until you can make your own choices, and take the helm of the clan leader at 18?” He asks.
“Yeah, my mom just wants a quiet life. She’s travelling the world writing of jujutsu sorcery and my grandma is holding the fort. We’re not quite the Gojo’s, Zen’in’s or Kamo’s – but we’re a very old sorcery family, so we’ve influence enough.”
“Y/N. You know you’re not grade two, right?” He asks, dead serious.
“I know, Gojo. I’m special grade. Yaga is a friend of my uncle’s so he agreed to keep it all quiet.” You finish up your drink.
“Gojo – what I’ve told you, only Yaga knows. This stays between us, okay?” He nods and crosses his heart.
“And don’t worry, you’re still the strongest. I’m just good backup.” He giggle, swinging your bag over your shoulder and motioning for him to follow.
“You say that part of your technique is ancient? And thought extinct? Which part? Now you’ve told me I wanna see everything.”
You look back and forth between the streets, and you find an empty alley.
You stop.
He stops.
“Snow leopards are your favourite animal, right?” You ask and he wonders why his heart skips a beat at you remember such a silly detail.
He cocks an eyebrow and agrees.
“I’d tell you to close your eyes, but it won’t do much good.” And with that, a flash a golden light encompasses you and instead of the oh so pretty girl he loves seeing in front of him is a snowy white, fluffy, golden eyed leopard.
And in a flash, you’re back in front of him.
“I can’t do it for long. It’s still really taxing to do and zaps my cursed energy.” You say, gripping his elbow and making your way back to the main road.
“Y/N. I hope you know. That might have been the coolest thing ever. Oh! Can you do like a little mouse so I can just hide you and carry you around in my pocket all day and give you cheese and –” his enthusiasm is cut off by your loud laughter.
“Maybe when I’m stronger Satoru, then I’ll stay with you all the time and you won’t have to follow me to my missions when you’re bored.” You’d text the driver to pick you both up.
“Hey! I was worried! I didn’t know you were some freaky nature fairy when I left did I? !” He grins, and god he looks so handsome in the late afternoon light.
You swat his arm.
“You’re one to talk Mr. I have nearly the same number of eyes as a spider.” And with that he tosses your much smaller form over his shoulder.
“Hey – you might be cool but I’m still the strongest and right now, it’s time for me to demonstrate that.” You half heartedly thump at his back as you laugh at him to put you down.
The car pulls up, a curious gaze from the driver who is thoroughly confused by why you’re over Gojo’s shoulder.
He tosses you into the backseat of the car.
“That’s for keeping secrets from your bestest friends ever.” He flicks your forehead, buckling your belt.
You just roll your eyes.
The drive back home is filled with idle chatter, but Gojo can’t stop thinking about how goddamn fucking perfect you are. You’ve always been strong, kind, beautiful, sexy, funny but god the feral determination he saw in you today shook him to his very core. You say your goodbyes as you head to shower and sleep, but your phone buzzes that night – with a terribly photoshopped picture of your face on a mouse, captioned – ‘btw- ur technique, it’s really beautiful Y/N, I’m really hpy I saw you like that, and thx for telling me, u nd ur secret r safe w me ’. You can’t fight the smile on your face, a weight lifted off your shoulder now that the boy you love knows everything about you – well, except that one secret. The one that you’re hopelessly in love with him.
Maybe some day.

famous au but um dumb
@cowboylexapro
if the poets were on social media and famous this is what they'd be known for
(age somewhere between 19-21)
todd
tumblr blog name: toad.anderson
ao3 name: toad.writes
he's technically anon but not rlly
sexiest tumblr account known to man - he's a fanfic writer and an au poster with some occasional og stuff that floods his inbox with asks begging him to publish his og work too - what fandom does he write for? all of them.
his bf proof reads them all even if he's never been in the fandom
he writes fics for his friends when they get famous
in between his novel worthy fanfics are shitty fics of his friends
his followers get rlly confused
he wrote a neil x reader fic until straight girls started claiming it and he took it down becuz the reader was him
todd on his blog: guyss… im so sorry but im taking the neil x reader fic down… im sorry if i offend anyone but the reader was me ❤️ not you - i don't like you all claiming it
after taking down the x reader, he does a neil x oc but the oc is him but with green eyes
neil, after the oc gets described: todd the only person im seeing is u tho 😦 and u have blue eyes
eventually his relationship with famous tiktoker neil perry gets revealed and ppl realize he's not just an obsessed fan
after neil says the thing blog: toad.anderson: guys my real name is todd anderson everyone: omg we wouldve never guessed
after neil and him go public and ppl dont believe that neil is gay he alternates between seething and writing neil fics and taking joy from neil's confusion
todd points out comments that are obviously thirsting over neil and neil still doesn't realize he's being thirsted over
"neil be the father of my children!" "oh i think they meant that in a godfather type way"
todd, at a breaking point, suggests that neil and him post a kissing video but neil doesnt wanna be one of those shawn camilla couples - respect
what if he posted them kissing but he made a historians will call them bestfriends joke but then ppl did🧍‍♂️
"my bestie and I 🤩 " "NEIL PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK UR SERIOUS"
//
neil
tiktok name: neilliard.at.julliard
accidentally tiktok famous for pretty face, charming personality, acting abilities - the theater kids had a claim over him orignially but he's pretty mainstream now
comment section full of old grandmas trying to set him up with their granddaughters
everyones dream bf until he posted about his own bf
neil: my boyfie has a big tumblr and he writes a lot and he really likes frogs and he is also blond and heres his address
hes kinda oblivious about everything
"you want a close up of my collar bones? why ?"
reading comment "'show your abs?' its nice you think i have abs! only my boyfriend can see those tho 😉 "
the comments go wild
people are stitching it screaming for different reasons
all his fans r screaming into pillows bc HES TAKEN NOOO
people are trying to figure out who this mans boyfie is
"he has a boyfriend??" "he's been straightbaiting us!" "NOO HE'S TAKEN" "IS UR BF AS HOT AS U" "look at the way his eyes lit up when he said bf i love love" "this video shows an aspect of society that-"
"tell us about ur bf" and he makes a week worth of videos but its all random stuff
"my bf looks pretty in blue" "my bf likes to put salt and pepper on his fries" "my bf has hair"
the straightbaiting comments come after him posting about pride and having a pride flag in the background of his videos <- they say things like "he's such a good ally"
people attack others in the comments who ask him if hes queer "NO NEIL ISNT GAY NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE GAY HE COULD JUST BE A REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY FRUITY STRAIGHT GUY WHO LIKES GIRLS"
"are you gay neil???" -> "not everything has to be gay ppl can just be allys and btw by assuming every ally is gay, ur actually hurting the movement!!!" -> "i asked becuz he said he wanted to kiss his boy best friend on the lips in highschool" -> "he meant it heterosexual-ly"
someone asks him what his type is and he describes todd to the t and they think he likes a short haired blonde
"he likes girls in sweat pants not skirts" "his type isnt ppl in skirts" -- neil would love todd in a skirt but thats not the point
his type: "he's really shy, gorgeous, short dirty blonde hair, uhhhh, really smart, and So much more :))"
he could say my boyfriend is a man who i am dating because i am gay and they would still try to straight-ify him
a grainy video gets leaked of a short haired blond guy jumping into his arms and ppl say things like "its just a girl with short hair"
todd hate writes a neil x male reader fic
he asks his friends for help and they post todd's face everywhere on his recording set
he makes a video like "meet my toddy"
in the video todd says he's a boy and he's todd and he's neil boyfriend 3485757 times and neil is like "omg babe i love u too <33" becuz he doesnt Understand
some ppl r still in denial or think he's bi w/ a preference for girls
straight girls like him becuz he has a pretty face and a general respect for women
during prom season, he gets dmed a lot of websites for buying prom tickets
"don't worry guys! i know i said my high school time was rough, but i actually did go to prom with my bf!!"

The Alpha that other alpha posters bow to
says stuff like "SIGMA MALES KISS ALPHAS ON THE MOUTH TO ASSURT DOMINANCE"
the twitter alphas buy into him so bad he's making podcasts and doign interviews and he has no clue how tf he got here but he's riding the high
he advocates for being alpha via kissing ur homies
when he gets famous he begs todd to write a fic about him
todd agrees pretty easily tbh
"ARE YOU EVEN AN ALPHA MALE IF PPL AREN'T WRITING GAY FICS ABOUT YOU"
charlie posts things like "no homo" "only the real make out with their homies" over those black and white pics of muscle-y dudes w/ no context after the neil video he posts "he homo" over one of them w/ no context
at first ppl try to attack him but then theyre like wtf is going on here and realize he's trolling the alpha community
when no one realizes neil is actually gay he makes a podcast episode talking about how he thinks neil is gay gay homosexual gay - he's holding a cigar and wearing a tight hawaiian unbuttoned shirt like "lets talk about this gay gay theater gay boykisser man"

pitts
youtube name: gerdoesstuff
joint youtube name: idkman
homework help and crafts videos youtuber - relaxed vibes only here to be calm
he gives study and concentration tips and encourages ppl to seek help and companionship and not suffer alone
he paints mugs and looks for bugs
he was on charlie's podcast and they discussed the alpha-ness of making pottery
todd wrote a pitts x reader fic becuz ppl begged him to
pitts printed it out and framed it and put it in his filming set up
he's a regular on meeks podcast too btw and meeks is a regular on his
but when meeks is around things explode so
he has a second channel with meeks where they do silly experiments
theyre posting schedule is non-existent and they also do streams but they never tell you so their viewers just have to hope and find out
knox and him are planning on making a movie review channel but its still not fully thought out so
he makes couple mugs for todd and neil when neil asks for help
he wakes up at 2 am and sends todd prompts
anytime he learns a fun fact he sends it to todd on the off chance todd may need it for a story at some point in his life
anytime he reads anything he's like damn neil will love to act like this character and lets him know about it
he sends charlie alpha podcasters to make fun of
at some point he exposes cam's shitty handwriting for the giggles
knox
instagram name: knoxious.ur.mom.ious
he posted a short on his instagram talking about how he just learned hair grows from the head and not the bottom and blew up for being a dummy - he doesn't know whats going on but he's having a blast
he stirs up drama but on accident
he was on pitts youtube before
out of everyone here he's the only one not making content he's just vibing
eventually he ends up posting background footage of everyone doing dumb shit
when it comes out theyre friends ppl stalk his instagram to find more proof
after that he starts to stir drama but more consciously
hmm what else - idk he's just chilling, getting called out for being dumb and watching his friends do dumb stuff
oh wait when he makes that short about the hair a bunch of commentary channels post about it and he takes it like a badge of honor
cameron
instagram name: cam.studies
pinterest name: cam.studies
one of those aesthetic studying accounts on insta and pinterest - takes nice shots of his homework and his pen collections and his study desk
except its only for the pics his handwriting is atrocious - he has like one page or paragraph of pretty handwriting to post and the rest is scribbled chaos - his pens are never organized by color, theyre just thrown in a box, and his desk is filled with papers and books and never looks clean but its fine he's just here for clout
he ends up sponsoring and reviewing businesses that make those cute study supplies so now he has a hoard - or at least he did until his friends started taking them
he groaned about the cam.studies x {random ass ppl} fics todd wrote but he thinks theyre funny and has them bookmarked
he went on charlie's podcast and the two argued for half of it and then explained how as two alphas they would settle their differences by kissing
his friends help him angle his aesthetic shots at cafes and shit
he got exposed eventually as a fake becuz ppl (cough) posted his real notes which were messy and disorganized
but he played it off as a commentary about how the internet is fake and got more sponsorships
he judges todd and neil but is eating popcorn at the front seat of the drama
meeks
podcast name: chameleon hotel
youtube channel name: idkman
meeks makes a podcast for very stupid intricate crimes. he has a cult following of bisexuals
its stuff like drama over a tree being taken down
"the locals even called their beloved tree 'ole alvin'"
charlie: todd write a meeks x ole alvin fic
he has standards, so he does
he went on charlie's podcast and convinced ppl that being with other men allowed u to suck in their alpha-ness and become the ultimate alpha
but generally he just makes his little silly videos and makes cryptic posts about the neil todd drama
has a joint channel w/ pitts
is up to date with the neil thing and is the one to send neil updates
he tries to convince neil to act out his podcasts (with a lot of success lmao)
he tries to convince todd to write fics based on his podcasts (also with a lot of success)
as payback for the ole alvin x meeks fic he convinces todd (very easily) to write a bunch of dumb charlie fics and todd agrees becuz he has standards
no one actually knows that the poets know each other
they eventually post a group photo
"we need to cancel neil perry for being friends with an alpha podcast guy" "nah thats just charlie"
"yall know hes bi, right?"
"he literally has a podcast about how sucking dick as a man makes u the ultimate alpha male"
it does explain why charlie's alpha podcast go from tiktok actor, tumblr fanfic writer, instagram study blog, fellow podcaster, hw help tiktoker in between his satire of normal alpha tiktokers
half of these things are like copy and pasted from our conversation btw so dont blame me for them

all im just gonna type it out bc ppl make assumptions based on the image in front of them and from the scrubbing of the video ive done and looking into the server owners this is all a bit theres no actual children online during the video or at least in that one and the server admins all seem to be in on the joke carrying on with their acting as if it were anyone else in fact one of the guys Nico actually has videos of him doing similar things for 'baby' servers and women's only servers - haven't watched them but based on his content style I assume those are also all planned out with the other owners or bits with his friend group . this seems like Tommy just pushing his way into another mc friendship circle bc he cant get any more clout out of dream and people like mumbo and grain probably don't want to make more videos with him . HOWEVER that doesn't mean I think what Tommy is doing is okay because even though there were not kids present he is still openly marketing the idea that it is okay and funny for him or for other people to raid child-friendly servers and cause havoc knowing full well his fans will buy into the idea and labelling it his 'edgiest video yet' in the video description. while as far as I know there wasn't any children present it is setting up the opportunity for people to try and copy him which can actually be directly harmful and even though it is just clickbait the fact that his audience views him as a child still because of his age when he started streaming hes often not held as accountable as he should be- if anyone else had posted that thumbnail they'd be hung by their neck but bc Tommy is young and rebranding as edgy it seems to slide under the radar of his young fans because they still see him as a kid like them . alr . thats my thoughts.

I forget I can just ramble and rant my thoughts!
I try to focus on sharing just my art but I also do writing and try to have a bit of a critical mind when it comes to media I consume.
Now that it has been a few months since I watched all of TMNT 12 I do have some thoughts and opinions and kind of want to just ramble about it before I forget, in an informal manner.
I at first really liked it, it was the second TMNT show I watched after Rise, now that I've been watching the 87 and 03 shows my opinions on 12 did change just a bit but I still do like it!
Literally all the turtles are my son's now. Especially Leonardo (he's blue coded so-). I just think they're so cute and neat!!!
I'm going to put thoughts to spoiler stuff of 12 so if you plan to watch the show then don't click beyond this point!
🐢💙🐢♥️🐢🧡🐢💜
So in the last season of TMNT 12 it kind of feels like all the scrapped ideas or random plots that couldn't be fit into the prior seasons were put in this one? I really like the new op it gives of Cowboy Bebop vibes. The op song change is really nice to because I never really looked the tmnt 12 op song before.
However, the plots feel all over the place? There's a mini ark where they're jumping through time meeting Halloween monsters and then another ark where Mikey defeats Satan? Then we get another really tiring ark that's this implied alternate madmax fury road parody that is honestly so depressing? Donnie is just dead.
Which btw, the show likes killing ppl off for dramatic effect. They killed Master Splinter three times and had Mikey and Donnie get scattered to atoms on two separate occasions. I should also mention Leo was in a coma for 3 months with no IV or anything and he woke up relatively fine.
Anyways, going into the last season and stuff leading up to it... They kind of ended with the 87 turtles and the 12 boys finding new passion and inspiration from teaching the 87 boys. I didn't really vibe with it because it just made the 87s the butt of the joke and made them out to be incompetent silly little guys.
They ARE silly little guys but the thing is they're not incompetent. The 87 boys have done some insanely incredible things even when unarmed. Especially when unarmed. I actually think the angle of finding a new way to help people as a means to end the series on an inspired note is fine, the 87 boys even carried on the will and told Bebop and Rocksteady they can be more than Shredder's mutant henchmen. It is very cute and wholesome. I just think they could have maybe done it differently?
Why not set up for them to teach Chi arts? The turtles of 87 don't have any mystical abilities and it would have been interesting to do a set up like that? There are ways to write the finale without just dumping on the original source.
Focusing back on the ending of 12, we also leave on a seriously alarming note. It's just a big mixed bag. After Master Splinter went to run on the hamster wheel in the sky, Leonardo was handed the reigns of the family. He was told "You're the teacher now Leonardo. You're the father. Look after your brothers" and Splinter then willingly walked into his own death. I think the writers maybe thought this was amazing and inspirational or something but I found it incredibly messed up? We start tmnt 12 on all 4 boys birthday. Meaning Splinter himself considers them all to be the same age. And since the series was running they haven't on screen celebrated a birthday and from the implied weather changes most of the seasons 1-4 seem to take place over just a year??? We don't get a definitive timeline (or I'm a bad audience and didn't notice).
So one can only assume Master Splinter was telling his...15 year old son to be the father to his other 15 year old children.
Why do I bring this up at all? After Leonardo takes over the family and he KILLS shredder they go into this rushed cult demon resurrection arc that culminates in the classic dead walk the earth and Mikey defeats Satan. In this arc we meet a ghost splinter who does not even go to see his kids, he just helps Casey and April. But throughout and the lead up to this we have moments of Leo having conversations with what we can perceive as Sensei's ghost in the dojo.
But the climax of the arc cements splinters ghost has not once visited his son's.
So Leonardo is quite literally having full on conversations, in the dojo for his brothers to hear, with a hallucination of his dead dad. He's coping this way. His family does nothing about this.
Tmnt 2012 has the worst Splinter. He ignored his son's and chose favorites. He told Leonardo to die (season 1 finale). He calls Mikey dumb and insights the others to do it too. He told Raph his anger makes him exactly like Shredder and never elaborates or teaches him how to better work through his issues. And he straight up calls Donnie useless.
None of that is even an exaggeration. Adding context just makes it worse.
Here's a list:
Do you know the turtles are the equivalent of helicopter raised homeschool boys? They've never stepped foot outside of the lair except at the start of ep 1.
They learn ALL of their lessons from old shows and cartoons. The show writers even sometimes use the cartoons to set up the theme of the episodes!
When Leonardo rescues Mikey he pats him on the head to comfort him.
Literally almost all of their ninja weapons have hidden weapons. I love it I wish I saw more of them using them.
Michelangelo is the family chef because somehow none of the rest have any life skills. Not even Splinter (explains so much).
They all have such cute shape language. I love bean pole Donnie, blocky buff Raph, perfect pear Leo, and round freckled Mikey.
They also now have unique eye colors. I love their eyes. Donnie with his big beautiful brown eyes (sometimes they look red). Raph with his acid green stare into your soul eyes, they look like they would glow like mako eyes in ff7. Mikey with bright blue eyes all big and round. And then Leo with the cunning dark blue eyes!
I just want to pinch their cheeks and kiss their foreheads and give them hugs.
Also, Leo is so affectionate to kids and his brothers??? My heart??? Couldn't take it??? He just randomly hugs them?? He had a tea party??? He wore a pink feather boa? The way he just immediately held baby Miwa??? Too good. Too good. He's such a good big bro.
Raph is also such a soft guy. Like yes he's a Butthead that beats up his brothers and takes every single violent urge out on Leo when he's even minorly inconvenienced but he does learn to do better. He helps Leo a lot and he even is there for the others a lot too.
Raphael also does art and seems to like fine arts.
Raph, like Leo, is a resident baby man. He loved tiny helpless creatures. He had a pet turtle he loved with his entire being and then later on adopted a space alien baby turtle that he also loved with his entire being.
I love Donnie in this, his cute little tooth gap, his gentle demeanor, the fact he'd rather be in the lab than training. I feel bad for him tho cause he clearly wants Splinter and Leo's approval with his inventions and efforts but very rarely gets it (Leo is the only one to really praise him and get what he does). He's also a good team player but he has so much stress and no confidence.
Donnie needs a big ol hug.
Mikey is so cute. But he is so weird. Why did they write girly pop collecting underwear. Why did they have him cannibalize a mutant pizza man? They do the most random things with Mikey. I like that he avidly tries cheering ppl up. He tries so hard for his bros. He's just a sweet little guy. I wish they did more with the baby bro.
Mikey should have kept his lightning powers.
They fight a lot but all the brothers love each other. I think they're just stressed and cooped up too much.
I like drama tho it's juicy when they argue.
I read on the wiki that Donnie is supposed to be canon OCD and Mikey canon ADHD and it makes so much sense in the show.
I really like all their voices. I miss Leo's first voice he was so dorky and sweet. The new voice is all sad and serious. Raph sounds perfect. I like Donnie's voice but instead of him always yelling why not have him do the low angry science rant because that's a good time. I like Mikey's voice he sounds like a high pitched beast boy.
But despite the occasionally baffling writing choices of the show I still like it. It's entertaining in the same way as a telenovela or kdrama. They literally have a plot where one of the turtles falls in love with his secret half sister. Something I've seen in telenovelas and kdramas.
2012 tmnt makes a great dogblooded drama.
I think the CGI art can get pretty bad at times but other times it looks great. The music is pretty good and I really like the voice cast. I actually totally see why so many people like this show but I definitely don't think it's the best one. From what I've seen thus far, I think the 2003 TMNT show might actually be a masterpiece. Better than Avatar the Last Airbender levels of masterpiece (not a competition just giving an example of another show I find monumental).
That's it, that's the rant, thanks for reading!
Btw if any one has any good 12 fic recs pls hand them over. I need 12 hurt comfort, or fem Leo, or transfem Leo, or anything introspective, or just anything with a fun plot. Pls I'm dying here send fics.
Thank you :)

kind of related but not- I'm genuinely sorry to be posting so much or about Lily Orchard, guys. Prior to Courtney coming on and telling us her story I was mostly just taken aback and angry with Lily as "one of those critic types" in my circle of vision.
It sucks -and yeah I know other critics don't want to hear this+Lily will use this fact as an excuse to discredit ppl's complaints abt her. but I think a lot of us were initially exposed to Lily because they knew of andor were fans of her cartoon criticism content. In my case I knew Lily from her days of Bronydom and have watched her make more and more meanMEAN material even w it's not about internal fandom dramacallouts. Back in those days and up to last year I could say of Lilly the same thing I'd say for a lot of people who annoy me online: I think she's a bully. Which is still bad, it's just not 'criminal', inherent. Comparing her to Rebecca Sugar, Lindsay Ellis, Contrapoints or VivziePop would be stupid as she really doesn't have even half the portfolio or wherewithall as any of those people -or even Zena and Poppy, not that they're angels. Lily was/is annoying because she'd use other people's genuine concerns and talking points. There's a certain takenupbyaltlight-term that I begrudginly would love to use for Lily that REALLY hits the nail on the head with her, be it as a fan, a critic or an activist. But I won't use it. Not because it's untrue, but because it's used by the same people who write her kiwifarm pages and misgender her and clearly couldn't give a crap about her if she didn't make them "lol"
But then, I actually looked at some of Britt's receipts and skimmed bits and pieces of what remains of Stockholm (I think you all already know this but @britts-galaxy-brain the links are missing now). For years, I'd known and listened to others honestly harp on Lily as some kind of counter-initiative for her going after their fav foalcon people. I assumed it was more of the same. It's not. Lily 100% wrote cp and is trying to hide it. No not fiction abt young adults that delves into erotic and sexisms; not stuff with aged-up child characters being big boobied of themselves thru the gaze or r34 artists. She wrote cp.
Essense of Thought's and that one hour long video talking about Stockholm were the first real horrifying revelation. Then I read through Brittney's saved messages from Lily and 'Tara'. Then I saw Patch's video.
THEN, Courtney came out and told everyone on here and her server everything we needed to know. I don't abide by everything Courtney says, especially about her abusers but I mean they're her abusers and please stop asking her to like the children who're valued more than her in the lives of her abusers, or at least maybe vent openly not to Courtney directly about your fear for those kids Cameron has. Yeah, I'm also concerned but idk there's got to be a better way to handle this. Anyway, as previously stated, I believe Courtney, Britt, and Patch. There's no way that those people have faked that stuff. I've heard kind of stretched explanations being true, but there's no way Stockholm was "edited by pedos" like Lily's saying it was I know I'm missing a few folks in there but I believe a lot of people have been genuinely victimized by LO and aren't just acting out of transphobia, bigotry.
Of what I can attest based on what I've seen, I KNOW that Lily Orchard wrote 'fluffy' foalcon and is saying she didn't, and also that the woman hates the word "queer".
Of what has been shown to me, I fully BELIEVE Lily Orchard is an abusive, sockpuppeting predator. Not only that, she's hiding behind other predator's existence to lie to her audience of other abused people to convince both them and herself that she couldn't possibly be a predator.
In 2013, what was 10 years from now, there was a controversy in the MLP fandom where a minor rose a (not undeserved) stink abt the askblog Princess Molestia and how it was making light of r*pe, intentionally or not. To counter this, a bunch of mouthbreathing bronies took it upon themselves to prove they weren't creeps by threatening the underrage sa victim, making r*pe porn of her while other mouthbreathers basically said "yeah put she's [the minor] annoying so it's the same kind of evil we're doing, really". Centrists.
Why this matters to me is (CW. CW. CW) you can find a post from Tara Callie, who was almost certainly one of Lily's alts at the time, admitting she found the r*pe art of Pinkiepony "hot", all the while Lily herself was publicly denouncing Pinkie's treatment by the fandom.
Lily Orchard is an awful human being. She does not have intrusive thoughts or fears of acting on those intrusive thoughts sometimes, like me and other people do. She has sexual and violent urges that she hides enough form the public to not make her followers suspect anything. She's twofaced and takes out her probable self-hate by attacking other predators. She's all deflection and lies. I can not believe a thing that vile woman says. Neither should you.
The biggest means of fighting her I think we all can do of is refusing to use her critical tag w we talk about her. Spam her "own tag". Enough hiding and denying who this terrible bigoted abusive woman really is.
Because really, her thoughts on glubshitto or whoever from Owl House are HARDLY the worst of it. Not even.

I hate to say this because we know there’s a subsect of crazy qanon conspiracy ppl on here…but im kinda wondering if someone is like out to get Chris or has he been like blackballed in HW somewhat?
I know it sounds insane but the reviews that came out for PH had ppl saying he was miscast and that he wasn’t giving enough and xyz, meanwhile Emily is the sole person whose getting nearly unanimous praise. The supporting cast is sometimes not even mentioned but IMHO everyone was solid in their roles.
But Chris was really darn good in this and I’m surprised that his performance has been downplayed by the critics. I’ve seen ppl praise actors for way less. I’ve seen actors get noms and awards recognition for way less.
I think you may know what I’m getting at. like, I personally am a big fan of Emily so her getting praise isn’t surprising because she can act and do things with a subpar script. But there were moments in this film where I felt she was kinda struggling while Chris was basically solid throughout it all. His Pete never really wavered. Always solidly douchey but surprisingly showed vulnerability at some parts where it actually worked. He showed emotion, and his rapping skills were actually better than the guys who made the actual video that scene was based on. LOL.
I think future filmmakers need to watch Him in this role if they ever consider him for other things.
Again, I’m not trying to make up things or sound delusional but I’ve wondered for a while why nearly every other big name mainstream actor and many not so big names and more indie actors nowadays gets accolades but CE consistently gets passed over. It’s almost like he’s being marketed and set up to never get higher than where he is. I don’t mean just for Oscar’s Emmy’s or SAGs - I mean even like Saturn awards or xyz platforms where actors can get nominated for roles they’ve played.
Snowpiercer - critics and fans alike have hailed this as one of his best roles to dates. But go on Wikipedia - Tilda swinton and some of the supporting cast got nominations from diff platforms (not Oscar’s or Emmy’s but maybe smaller awards) and the only person left out was Chris. I was virtually shocked he was being overlooked for even small awards.
Hopefully this doesn’t come off as me saying he’s snubbed for awards. I think he definitely needs to let go and give more to really open ppl’s eyes on his ability. But I am saying I’m surprised at the latest developments - where he’s putting out a solid performance that’s worthy of praise but is getting zilch from the ppl who “matter.”
I have had these thoughts myself. I by no means think he is the best actor in his age bracket. There is one that I have talked about that I think is genuinely amazing, and Sebastian will continue to do amazing things because he allows himself that vulnerability. He continues to hone his craft, and work with children speaking on acting. Sebastian has remained very humble but also had humble beginnings. Chris really hasn’t. He’s lived a charmed life and sometimes it makes you jaded.
Now, I do think this is a solid performance from his. I will continue to sing his praises for Defending Jacob, Snowpiercer, What’s Your Number and several other movies where he’s the light in the movie. But there does seem to be a bit of a disconnect throughout his career, not just recently, when it comes to critical praise.
I don’t know that Chris wants to be a critical adored actor, but judging by some of the roles he’s taken, he does want to be respected. And of course when we do a job, don’t you hope people acknowledge your skills? I’m not saying Oscars, but even just a moment of, he did so good! 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows.
As for Emily, she’s fine. In my opinion people give her more credit than she’s worth.

REUNION
Tumblr media
Hey Ppl! I know that this chapter took some time, but I was done with a lot of love and many talks insued with my beta about it so I'll give you guys a info dump about this chapter. Thanking both @albinokittens300 and elliecat78 my Beta.
AGES:
Arya, Bran and Sansa - 13 y.o. Tyrion - almost 18 Jamie - 29 almost 30 Cercei - 28 Tommen - 4 Myrcella - 3 Robb - 19 (so, Robb is about one year older than Tyrion) Jon - 20
SOULMARKS:
If the soulmark is on the dominant hand its a romantic mark. If the soulmark is on the non-dominant hand its a platonic mark. And the marks present, as in that's def a soulmark, are always romantic.
As for the shapes and colors:  in my mind, soulmarks are connected to each other. So colors representing what the soulmates felt for each other, the colors on your skin represent your soulmates feelings for you or even their qualities.  The form of the mark represents: qualities of the mates and even identifications that either they ID with or the other Ids them with. But the soulmarks also reflect what the other half felt: So there comes the play of ash colored mark, if you were the rejected one our soul got to bear that scar and even if it can show the mark you will never see the colors of what your soulmate felt for you, a defence mechanism maybe? And so if you where the one rejecting your other half the outer part of the mark and colors won't fade into ur skin, but it would become smokey and ash colored: representing the severed bond.
REUNION PT3: GROWING UP STARKS.
Catelyn and Ned looked at their growing twins in silence while the worry ate them alive. The twins had grown closer after that dreadful night five years ago: they had grown closer due to their shared guilt and soulmate. They both wore wristbands, the world thought that Sansa wore one because she had realized how intimate her mark truly was and how dangerous it could be if nefarious people knew what her mark was and that Bran simply had one to commiserate, but while it was somehow truthful it was also wrong. Sansa was ashamed of the actions of her past self and couldn’t look at her mark without feeling bad and Brandon was very protective and to some point possessive of their soulmate.
All in all they were growing up well, healthy and happy. Their parents could only be proud of their children - since the incident they had grown closer and could often be found talking to each other about things none, but they understood and about their soulmate: their crowned lion they called him. Sansa was more considerate of others and their differences while Bran had calmed a lot and had grown wiser than his years, both were sure they would find their lion and fix the mess their past selves made… But as parents Ned and Catelyn couldn’t help but fear what the two would do if their lion wasn’t as forgiving as they remembered: it was after all another lifetime and in this one his mark must have told him daily that he wasn’t worthy. How could they help their children with something like that? And could they really hate or blame their soulmate if he rejected them this time? What would they all do if he only forgave one of them? 
Some days they just wished that their children had never been born with a soulmark and others they prayed to the gods that may listen for them to never find their soulmate. They knew that their wishes were unkind, both for the twins and their as yet unknown soulmate.
Most of the time it was easy to forget that they even had a mark and they liked to pretend that the twins were simply like all other people, but it wasn’t always the case.
It was a nice Spring evening when Lord Robert Baratheon, Neds best friend from middle school all the way up to college, was visiting Winterfell with his young wife Lady Cersei Baratheon nee Lannister, age twenty-eight, their children Tommen and Myrcella, four and three respectively, who were born only ten months apart so in the North they would have been known as Skaggosi twins. All the Starks were there to welcome Roberth, even Lyanna (who had a history with the flirty man) with Aegon and Benjen with his wife Asha and Arya were there for a visit during the long vacation before another school year started. 
This year Robb, by then nineteen years old, would start his first year at Kings Landings University making his parents proud. He would be Aegon’s flatmate. Aegon, at twenty, who also attended KLU, was in his second year of his Sociology mayor and getting started in his Arts minor, lived in a flat in one of the better places of the city and as his last flatmate had graduated, had been about to hunt for a new flatmate when Robb texted him all about how he got accepted into KLU for his Bachelor degree in engineering. So the time they would spend together at Winterfell they would put to good use to see exactly how compatible they were in living together. Sansa, Bran and Arya, all at age of thirteen, couldn’t wait for their last year in middle school to start and make that big jump toward high school.
The evening was progressing rather well: the families started to get to know each other and shared a nice ambience until just after dinner when Cersei noticed the wristbands on the twins.
“Is it me or do the two of you have soulmarks?” asked Cersei in a bitter tone, raising an eyebrow, causing the twins to lose confidence in themselves and making them lower their marked arms. “You know, I have a younger cousin that has one: I hate him. So full of himself, he believes himself to be so very clever and all my family just adores him. I believe he is just a freak of nature… he is so abnormal! My aunt and uncle are probably the only ones in this world who have seen his mark; they covered it immediately! And the way his eyes gleam… he isn’t natural, but the two of you seem pretty normal to me.”
“Cersei, dear, you know better than most that it is bad manners to inquire about soulmarks so openly. And I really don’t know what you have against the kid, Rider has never acted the way you describe him to and even our kids adore him!” scolded Robert, feeling embarrassed by her. He felt thankful when Robb went out of his way to save him even if he knew that the young man only did so for his siblings. 
“While you are right, Uncle Robert, we are all family here,” at this Robb took a moment to smile benevolently at Cersei. “Aunt Cersei, as one your cousins has a mark, you must be aware just how special the soulmarks are to those who have one, so when Sansa decided that she wanted to cover hers, Bran, being a good twin brother, decided that he would use a wristband himself as a show of support and all of us have worn one at one time or another,” Said Robb, looking at the blond with cold eyes before he returned to normal. 
“Do they have their marks on different sides then?” Asked Cersei and no one really wanted to go into details on that. The family had decided that they would keep the special circumstances of the twins to themselves: a shared soulmate was almost unheard of, even if Bran’s mark indicated a platonic connection. Marks for the same soulmate happened, but they were much more rare than even the platonic soulmarks and the twins didn’t need the world looking into their lives. 
“My sister has a romantic soulmate, while I have a platonic one, if you must know,” Answered Bran with some hostility. He didn’t know why, but he was starting to feel hatred towards the woman and his instincts basically screamed at him to hide, to get away. And he knew from the look in her eyes that Sansa felt the same, his mark burned up for a moment not painfully or anything it just made him feel warm and safe before it returned to its normal state: it was simply there a weight that grounded him.
“Hey, buddy, do you want us to find some things for you to play with?” Asked Aegon, who was sitting next to Tommen. He wanted to diminish this potential disaster and was happy when the young boy nodded happily. “Bran, Sansa, do you think you two can help me look for something he can play with: like those oversized baby-proof Legos?” He asked the twins as he stood up, giving them an excuse to leave the room.
“You mean Duplo, Jon?” Teased Bran as he and Sansa stood up.
“I remember where we put them in the attic, but I’ll need you guys to do some lifting.” Said Sansa with a smile to the boys, happy to be able to leave the room under a reasonable pretense. The way that woman Cersei talked about her, going by uncle Robert's use of the word kid, younger cousin left her uncomfortable… It seemed like she was a hateful and jealous woman.
Later that night Aegon and Robb had excused themselves from the company to play video games and Arya had happily followed her older cousins. Tommen had been put to bed hours ago after he had played some with the duplo Aegon brought back with him, Myrcella had been put to bed before dinner and the twins had disappeared after going to the attic. Lyanna, Asha and Catelyn were doing their best to include Cersei in their conversation, leaving Benjen, Ned and Robert in Ned's study to have some drinks.
“I’m really sorry for that, Ned, I had no idea Cersei would react that way! Hell, I thought that she would know the right etiquette around marked people or at the very least know which things not to ask!” Exclaimed Robert agitated.
“I’m not blaming you. Rest assured, Robert, many people who should know better always ask questions or make comments. That is nothing new, what is new is that a person who admits to having such a close relation to a marked person to say something like that.” replied Ned looking at his drink. He wanted his friend's visit to be over. He started to dislike Robert’s new wife - when he met her at the wedding she didn’t seem so petty.
“What did ya call the cousin, Rider? What kind of name is that? And is he really that strange? She made it out like he was some kind of twisted guy,” Said Benjen.
“Rider is the nickname I gave the kid: he seems happy with it,” Shrugged Robert before continuing. “And yeah I’ll admit that the kid is strange. He is absolutely obsessed with dragons and Old Valyria; hell, he can even read and speak High Valyrian. Not Braavosi or some similar language, but, honest to god, High Valyrian like those scholars that spend their lives dedicated to the study of the Empire. But I suppose that as a marked soul one might expect him to have his things, but Tion is a great kid: not sure what Cersei has against the boy.”
“So he is basically a normal kid with a soulmark that loves dragons and the history of Valyria a bit too much, is what you are saying?” Asked Ned. He was dying to ask his best friend for more information about the boy and his soulmark but would refrain from doing so.
“As normal as he’ll get I’d say.” Responded Robert before finishing his drink.
“What does his mark look like?” Asked Benjen, not having any reservations, even though this type of personal question was frowned upon. “And what is his take on having a soulmark?” This caused both Ned and Robert to almost choke on their drink.
“Benjen!” Roared Ned.
“I’ve no clue what his mark looks like. As much as the kid might like me, he wouldn’t share something so private with the husband of his cousin! He ain’t like those kids that publish their mark online in hopes to find their soulmate or something, he reminds me more of Aegon,  Lyanna’s kid, if you want a personality comparison. And as for his take on soulmarks, I’ve got no freaking clue: the kid has enough issues with his memories-dreams, I take, seeing as he goes to therapy for it.”
“Therapy? Ain’t that a bit extreme?” Asked Ned who knew that the soulmark dreams could be difficult, but he never expected anyone needing therapy for that. Why didn’t the boy speak with his parents about them?
“Normally I’d agree with you on it, Ned, but you haven’t met the kid... I dunno what he went through in his last life, but the gods can be cruel. The kid does suffer from PTSD, so I’d say the therapy has more to do with that than with the soulmark. When we stayed with them last month he had a full blown episode: it was heartbreaking, his mother was able to get him through it, but he didn’t know where he was after he woke from a nap…”
At this the tree men stayed in silence all contemplating different things. Robert was reliving how the gentle, happy smiling kid that took his kids as uncle, went to nap and a haggard soul woke up screaming something unintelligible. Eddard was thanking the gods that neither of his kids suffered from memories intense enough to put them in therapy and Benjen was wondering how a simple reunion could end on such a tone...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Brandon and Sansa were happy to leave the adults and stay in their shared living room talking together before they did some of the homework their teachers had given them for the break to distract themselves from the events that had transpired that evening. 
"So you wanna talk about it?" Asked Bran looking at his sister with concern.
"About Uncle Robert's wife bashing her cousin for no other reason than him having a soulmark and her being petty? No, I'd rather forget," was Sansa's dignified answer. Bran knew that something was troubling her, but decided to let it be as she would come to him when she felt like talking about it. 
While his sister started to get her table ready for the homework, he was more than happy to take his wristband off and trace his soulmark for a while. Bran loved the peace tracing it brought him: it was as if in those moments it was just him and the mark, in those moments he felt as if he were in the presence of Tyrion's shadow or one of his hugs and all the comfort that that brought him. He didn't know how much time had passed; as he was tracing the crown on the head of the lion - a mocking reminder to him that he and Sansa had only been crowned because of his abdication, somewhere far away in the Westerlands a dark strawberry blond haired young man in his late teens fell asleep while reading a book about philosophy on a couch as a feeling of peace fell over him: causing his mother to grab a blanket and put the book on a coffee table.
"Why do you always do that?" asked his sister, with curiosity coloring her voice.
"Do what?" Bran asked absentmindedly.
"Trace your soulmark? You do it when you are feeling edgy or frustrated or in any way overstimulated really, but you also do it just so, for no apparent reason," clarified Sansa. At this Bran tilted his head.
"I trace it because it brings me peace of mind, if I trace it long enough I can almost feel as if Tyrion stood right next to me," explained Bran, causing Sansa to frown. "Don't you ever trace it until you relax? Until it's just you and the soulmark?" Now it was Bran who became curious.
"Well, I do trace it from time to time, but mostly I do so when I feel guilty, and then it burns and for a moment I feel kind of like  back as I did when we were married, safe and protected as if no one could harm me… not even I and my worries just disappear, just without all the resentment. There are also days when it just burns suddenly and fills me with a crippling guilt, anxiety, resignation or simply makes me feel lost; but most of the time the mark simply is and feels like a weight reminding me that it's there: as if it doesn't expect anything." After she said this, Sansa's eyes opened wide. "OMG you're right! The mark is almost a shadow of Tyrion: always there without expecting anything, which is comforting and also disturbing."
After this, the silence returned to the room and Bran’s mind went into overdrive. He started looking at his homework, but in truth he was just staring at the pages frankly, not really seeing them. 
"Why do you think the mark just starts burning suddenly? Does yours do it too?" asked Sansa.
"Aye, some days it does… but most of the time it is to answer or to balance my own feelings." said Bran with a thoughtful look on his face. "Maybe when we are distressed and our marks burn out of nowhere with peaceful feelings, it isn't really out of nowhere, maybe it's Tyrion who sends those feelings." Theorized Bran.
"And when my mark starts burning with those nasty feelings? Does yours ever do it, too?" asked Sansa, fearing her brother had come to the same conclusion as her.
"Aye, mine does so sometimes as well… It leaves me trying to find my footing again from all the intensity, even if it does happen seldom. The last time it happened was last month: I felt all those feelings you mentioned and then I felt the need to sleep a whole week. Maybe those are Tyrion's feelings?" asked Bran with a grimace. "Have you ever thought of sending positive feelings in those moments or thinking of good things?" asked Bran guiltily; Sansa just shook her head. "Me neither…."
"We aren't sure that Tyrion sends those peaceful feelings our way in a conscious way… so there is no way of knowing if what we do or don't in those moments does or doesn't affect him, but we can promise to do better next time." Said Sansa looking her twin in the eye who nodded with resolve in his eyes. "Let's do our homework…."
"Let's, but I gotta say that the mark burning before flooding us with foreigh feelings sucks as a warning system…" Concluded Bran.
About an hour after the conversation they were finishing their homework, filled with a burning desire to start their research anew and find Tyrion, when someone knocked on their door.
“Come in.” called Bran after getting a nod from Sansa, while he began to arrange his books and his sister started pulling up their corkboard along with their research.
“Hey, guys, may I come in for a few?” asked their cousin Arya. The twins looked confused, but nodded.
“Sure, come in and grab yourself a beanbag." said Sansa while Bran went to grab their beanbags.
Arya smiled at the twins gratefully before doing so and sitting down with them, Bran opened a mini fridge and offered both Sansa and Arya a soda, both accepted. They sat in silence for a while each doing their own thing until Arya broke it.
“Do you guys know what the fuck that was? I mean, I gotta admit that I disliked you, Sansa, when we were kids: you being the perfect picture of a lady and having a twin and a soulmark and bragging about it! It didn’t help that you never wanted to play the same games I wanted to play, but the bitching that woman did was on a whole new level! What could her cousin have done to make her so hateful towards him?” Exclaimed Arya out of the blue, not taking the silence any longer, causing Bran to drop the ball he had been playing with and making the twins look at her.
“I just want you to know: both of you, that I don’t think you guys are freaks of nature or abnormal or something like that… maybe you guys are a little strange, but who isn’t! Plus, what is normal when there are people walking around having soulmarks! People who can connect so deeply with an animal that they can possess it! When there are still reports of dragon sightings in Essos close to the Valyrian sea?” Bran and Sansa looked at each other and did that stupid twin thing they usually did before Bran spoke up.
“We never believed you thought we were freaks: well, bigger freaks than we are I mean." said Bran with a smile causing Arya to scowl at him and Sansa hit him on his shoulder before taking over the talking.
“Thank you, Arya, for your support, but what do you say: haters shall be haters? I think that applies well in this case. I don’t believe that her cousin did anything for her to really hate him, but it seems to me that Cersei is a shallow, jealous and petty woman who hasn’t outgrown her resentment for not having a soulmark while her cousin has one. We know you never thought us abnormal and I know that our enmity during our childhood is partly my fault. I was pretty full of myself wasn’t I?” Asked Sansa with a smile; Arya returned the smile and relaxed.
“So what are you, double trouble, up to? Have you guys already found any clues about your soulmate? And I promised myself I’d never ask, but how do you guys feel about that?” Asked Arya.
“We are making progress in our research, well, at least partially we have read all historical indications about all three of us, but we might need to open up another line of thinking as our research is hitting a wall at this moment,” answered Bran. “As for us having the same soulmate, I believe we might differ on our feelings, but seeing as our soul bonds are essentially different I have no problems with it: I love him and Sansa does love him too, we just love him differently: only one of us would snog him and that one isn’t me.” This caused Arya to laugh as Sansa turned redder than a tomato. “Not that I wouldn’t be happy to do almost anything else with him...”Finished explaining Bran in his almost detached way.
“I agree with Bran, even if I’d have used other words,” Said Sansa.
“So why are you getting nowhere with your research?” Asked Arya.
“We might need to broaden our search to some new things we hadn’t thought about yet: wanna help us?” Asked Bran.
“Sure. What do you guys need me to do?” Asked Arya, opening a laptop that belonged to one of the twins.
“Search for anyone named Tyrion and look for anything that might come close to scandal-worthy behavior,” Answered Sansa with an impish smile.
“For real?” Asked the shocked girl.
“Yes from what we remember, and we asuming that personality wise he hasn’t changed much, he used to get into some crazy stuff… boardline suicidal stuff.” Explained Sansa with a grimace.
“Please don’t ask, just do,” Saiid Bran, not really feeling like getting into a long winded explanation while he continued their previous line of search. The possibility of both him and Sansa staying Starks, keeping their first names and having the same father, in name and titles at least, while their soulmate wasn’t even a Lannister didn’t add up to him, the chances of that happening were close to none! So he wasn’t giving up yet.
“So, Sansa, have you given Ashton’s proposition a thought?” asked Bran while he was busy trying to distract the three of them.
“Bran, we are thirteen, I have a soulmate and if I ever date before finding him it won’t be with Ashton Stone, nor will it be at this age!” Exclaimed Sansa, throwing a ball at her brother who just gave a cheeky smile while their cousin laughed.
So I'm not sure how many chapters this story will get: I don't think it will get more than 10 tbh... I hope u enjoyed it!

Aspd culture (and just general mental illness culture in general) is not being allowed to make jokes about your disorder because people will pearl-clutch about how you shouldn’t pathologize everything about yourself and how tiktok is ruining mental illness awareness. It is but also this isn’t that and stop assuming everyone ever who talks about things super blasé and nonchalantly is tiktok poisoned, I am literally just a silly guy who makes jokes, maybe get off my dick because it isn’t a replacement for the stick you have up your ass
On the one hand, I agree with 90% of your ask.
But also, there's the fact that tiktok isn't ruining mental illness awareness. People said that about tiktok, tumblr, and honestly every place that any semi-large community has ever talked about mental health.
That talking point is complete bs and stems from people who don't want to risk admitting that mental illness is very common and specifically originated in two groups as far as I've seen.
The first was older (like boomer to gen x), abusive adults who did not want to acknowledge their spouses and children were sustaining life altering damage from the things that came out of their mouth and common abusive punishments like removing a door. If they acknowledged mental illness, how common it is, and the science behind what causes it, then they would have to admit what they did was abuse even though they "never raised a hand to them", as they love to point out.
The second is people being sexist and infantilizing and just plain attacking young people, particularly girls and lgbt ppl. They don't want to admit children and young adults can ever have real problems, so they spout this idea that people who talk about their mental illness on social media (sites that are statistically more appealing to mentally ill people, teens, and young adults, especially afabs) are somehow invalid or "romanticizing mental health problems".
Are there real people who do that? Of course. But they are not a product of tiktok, or tumblr, or any social media site, or the internet.
For as long as there has been any discussion about mental health, there have been people romanticizing, sexualizing, demonizing, and invalidating it.
But that doesn't suit the talking points of the people who want to invalidate the harm caused by non-physical ahuse, nor the talking points of those who wish to silence young people. So instead, they continue to attack tiktok - a site which has not spread significantly more misinfo than this app we call home or any other social media site or even just... any group of semi-educated people talking anecdotally? - but has been proven over and over to have helped a huge wave of people find out information that led to diagnosis and treatment of disorders, especially obscure disorders (both mental and physical), in people that never would have otherwise known there was a name for their problem.
That is huge. That is a great thing.
I first heard the word (tw) sociopath when I was about 13. I ignored how much the book in question (actually about ASPD) fit me, and moved on because I thought "that's too rare, I must be misunderstanding it", and even then it was only because of my special interest in mental health that I found the book to begin with. Then I saw it spoken about again on here and on tiktok, and I realized I needed to research this again and not be afraid of it, and here I am professionally diagnosed.
I never knew before a few months ago that I even *might* be autistic. Guess who taught me? Tiktok. For 3 years I have seen bit by bit, video by video, symptom by symptom, tiktoks that I related to way too much from people (both professionals and regular autistic people of various ages, genders, etc). I unlearned so much ableism and stereotypes about autism that I internalized from the idea that only little white boys have it, thanks to tiktok. So, when my therapist brought up wanting an autism evaluation for me, I wasn't blindsided. And when I found out I had it, I had been suspecting that was the case for a while. I might not have handled the process of a new diagnosis so well had I not known it might be coming.
Tiktok is advancing awareness and respect for people with mental and physical disorder that the public hasn't heard of. That's not "romanticization", that's destigmatization. Two very different things.
/nmay nor is all of this really a direct reply to you. This ask just gave me a reason to talk about something I've been seeing on here and not liking for a while. We're not better than people on tiktok, and that in itself is elitism.

Playing among us with children is so fun.
I literally shapeshifted as someone who already died that round and then killed someone in front of someone else who had entered the scene just in time.
So then the dead person was blamed, even though she gasped when she died (it’s not like it was ages ago either, guess no one else noticed? Dunno). But since there was only the three of us left and the other two ppl who were alive stuck together, once they realized that the accused was dead, the blame fell on me. The lone wolf, if you will.
Y’all, when I tell you I BEGGED.
I screamed and pleaded. “You can’t throw this!” “Dude, I am so serious. From the bottom of my heart it’s not me.” “I swear, please don’t mess this up for us.” I even snuck in a “this isn’t you!”
I have never gotten down on my knees begging but that’s literally what I was doing. I was sitting on the floor next to my sister’s bed and I got up to kneel and plead desperately with her. To plead a case I thought I’d lose.
There was no alibi, no proof of innocence. Only overwhelming desperation and passion beyond what I thought I would be capable of displaying in among us of all games. I was grasping at straws with only my words and a vision.
And girl, against all odds I. WON.
The plot. The timing. The ACTING??? I’ve peaked here. This is it. This is going on the headstone. Dreams do come true guys I promise.

I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in their totality by age 6; the stories were so beloved to me as a child. Tbh they were more a foundation of a reality to me than anything. Like, I hated living in many ways (edgelord baby), all I wanted was to live in fiction, and so for years, Middle Earth was my home. I got into Silm at the beginning of college. Then I like… grew up and gained political awareness and such. At one time, Tolkien’s writings were just normal to me, but you get a little distance from them and it’s like damn this shit is WEIRD. Tbh I can’t believe he ever sold a copy of LOTR—The Hobbit is at least salable as a children’s book, but what is even going on w his other stuff.
Weird is good of course. And there’s a lot to love about Tolkien’s writing. I know not everyone agrees but I think both his prose and poetry are beautiful. I love the mythology, the scope of the world, the mood/tone, the characters… the sheer imagination. But at the end of the day, the entire Tolkien ethos is deeply Christian and kinda ethnonationalist? Eurocentric? Colonialist? Just flat out racist?
I never really had an issue w the portrayal (or lack thereof) of women in Tolkien, who cares, but the cultural/racial bias is baked in. I mean, it’s constant. Tolkien doesn’t seem like he was a hateful guy, I don’t believe he was consciously a bigot or anything, but goddamn he was such an old British guy 😭 “The West” is good, while “the East” is bad. There’s “lesser men” and “greater men.” He really needed the reader to know that white skin is beautiful and all the bad men are “swarthy.” I remember Miyazaki calling Japanese ppl who loved the LOTR movies idiots for not realizing that the orcs are stand-ins for Asians and Africans. Can you blame him for thinking that?
So like, I still do have appreciation for Tolkien’s universe, but what was it in service of? Beyond any racial politics, it’s all so Christian I could vomit. I like Christian themes when they’re interesting, but Tolkien’s only end goal for his world was war: defeat the Bad Forces and then The Good Guys can go to heaven. I just don’t get all that much out of it.

My mother over here telling me how my aunt essentially screwed my grandmother over wrt money she got for the sale of my aunt’s house and land (the land was my grandfather’s; which means it’s my grandmother’s now that he’s gone). It was a situation where if my aunt/grandmother didn’t settle, the property would be taken due to eminent domain (fucking hate that that’s a thing but whatever), so the property was getting sold no matter what. And my aunt just bought a nice new house with her part of the settlement money, but my grandma didn’t get a just amount because my aunt was too worried about making sure she personally would get enough for a new house. Which fair because she was the one living on the property but not cool because you really screwed over your widowed, aging mother to do it.
Apparently my mom and her other siblings are mad, but then my mom is like “I mean I’m mad at her (my aunt) too, but I can’t say anything because your grandmother didn’t do what she needed to do during negotiations. I would tell her to do something and she’d say she’s just tired and over it, which hey I get it.” And I’m just like “okay so what did you do to help her then?”
My grandmother is turning 84 years old this year. She’s lived a long and exhausting life. She retired early to take care of mother-in-law who was in a vegetative state for years before passing, only to then almost immediately have to start caring for my grandfather after his Parkinson’s diagnosis. And she was fucking 80 when he finally passed. She has been taking care of people her entire life: siblings, children, grandchildren, in laws, and then her own fucking husband! In my entire 30ish years, she had spent maybe 5 of those years being able to be a real empty nester.
So if my grandmother said she was tired and didn’t want to fight with the buyers, and you didn’t trust my aunt, why not step in on her behalf? Why not do the things for her that you were telling her to do? Even if they wouldn’t speak to you, why not at least get her in contact with a lawyer that could deal with the buyers in her behalf? Like wtf is wrong with her?
My mother loves making other ppl the bad guys but why didn’t you do something about it then? Why do you wait for your sister to screw your mother over before getting mad? It blows my mind. She’s always been like that; always wanting to tell ppl to do things and then if they struggle with it blames them for it. Help someone out once in a while. My grandmother is old and tired. You’re still (moderately) young. Just do it! She’s old; you’re not teaching her some sort of lesson by letting her get screwed over like that.
What, if some scammers called her saying I was kidnapped and she called you panicking, would you let her give the scammers her bank info to teach her a lesson or something? What do you get out of not helping????? Hello????
This family is so annoying; everyone loves bitching about some shit but no one wants to do anything about it. So over these toxic people.

anything but lovers
requested: no
group: red velvet
pairing: seulgi x fem!reader
genre: FLUFF FLUFF FLUFFFFFF
contents: princesses!au, kinda cottagecore, established relationship, i was inspired by the whole ‘history hates gay ppl’ thing
warnings: none
synopsis: You and Seulgi wonder sometimes about how people will remember you, but at the end of the day, it’s enough to know that you’re the most blissful lovers there ever were.
a/n: WHEE COTTAGECORE GAYS
word count: 0.9k
Tumblr media
“Have you ever met someone whose smile looks like it could make flowers grow?”
Seulgi’s hand rested on your shoulder as she read aloud from the book in her hand, your head resting on her chest so that you could listen to the cadences of her soft breathing. “Yeah,” you answered. “It’s what I think about you.”
Your girlfriend couldn’t escape the smile on her face, but she pushed your forehead aside gently with one finger. “Let me read,” Seulgi sighed. 
You nodded obediently, tracing patterns over the lace of her dress. The peachy pink gown was probably uncomfortable to lie in, already tightly zipped up, but it was the perfect complementary color to your own light green outfit and the white silky sheets beneath the two of you.
Sun streamed in through the window, the white gauzy curtains doing nothing to stop the warm yellow light. It was incredibly hot outside, you could tell, and you wanted to spend as much time as you could inside the cool room.
She began again, “Her smile could make the deadest of roses bloom again. Her gaze could bring the most decayed of corpses back to a pristine state. Her touch could turn burlap to silk.”
“Sounds like you,” you teased sweetly.
“If I could dare, I would tell her that her smile looks like it could heal me of all my ailments. If I was blind, I would recover my sight to see her face. If I was deaf, I would recover my hearing to hear her speak to me.”
“Wow. These dead poets sure are romantic,” you yawned, stretching out your hands just to pat Seulgi’s cheek. 
She scrunched her nose at you, carefully placing a bookmark on the page that she had stopped on. You took that as your sign to scramble to your knees and press a kiss to your girlfriend’s cheek, then to her nose, and to her other cheek. “Not as romantic as me, I bet.”
“Don’t kid yourself, Y/N,” Seulgi joked, but she still smiled into the kiss when you met her mouth with yours. “You’re just the only gay princess around for miles, it’s the only reason I tolerate you.”
“No way I’m the only one. Have you ever met Kim Yerim?” you protested.
Giggling, Seulgi amended, “The only age-appropriate gay princess around for miles. Kim Yerim’s nice, but she’s five years younger than me, I’m not dealing with that.”
“Kim Yerim’s nice,” you agreed. You scooted closer to your girlfriend on the bed, placing your hands softly on her collarbones where you could feel her heartbeat going steady.
A cough from behind the two of you interrupted you, but you just rolled over so that you lay horizontally over Seulgi’s stomach. Seungwan regarded you with an exasperated smile. “Okay, you two. Time for the parade.”
“Oh, that’s right. It’s your mother’s birthday parade,” you drawled. “We have to be there.”
“Well, you don’t have to be there,” Seungwan pointed out.
Raising your head, you questioned, “You really think I’m letting my girlfriend go alone?”
Your friend rolled her eyes, but it was so obviously fond that you couldn’t take her seriously. “Yeah, yeah,” Seungwan sighed. “Come on.”
Seulgi linked your hands together as soon as you started walking behind Seungwan, and you couldn’t help but smile. You were engulfed in sweltering hot air as soon as you stepped outside, but your lacy dresses fluttered prettily in the warm air, and Seulgi looked so energized just by the sight of the bright green grass around you that you couldn’t deny her such a simple pleasure.
“You guys are gross,” Seungwan teased.
“Grossly in love,” you corrected, swinging your clasped hands between you and Seulgi, who only smiled bigger.
“I wonder if we’ll make it into a book someday,” Seulgi commented. “Maybe someone will write poetry about us, or maybe we’ll get married and go down in history as the first lesbian queens.”
“Our country’s too small to make it into a history book,” you pointed out, “and don’t expect me to write poetry. You’re the brains in this relationship.”
With a smile, Seulgi agreed, “True.”
“I don’t know, you guys might make it into some history book,” Seungwan shrugged. “We’re growing. If we make it big by the 2000s, I guarantee you’ll be in some kind of book.”
“Uh-huh. Hey, I’m in love with Kang Seulgi!” You shouted with your hands cupped around your mouth; you were only approaching the parade, and so, there were only a few people who were in earshot. However, those few people turned and whooped at you, big sunny grins on their faces that matched the atmosphere of the village.
Yeah, you enjoyed quite the comfortable life as princesses. You didn’t live in a castle, nor did you spoil yourself in unbelievable riches; however, the cute little cottage you shared with your girlfriend and the adoring smiles you received from the children whose spats you resolved were better than anything else you could think of.
“I don’t care how we’re remembered,” you voiced aloud.
Seulgi raised her eyebrows. “Really? You don’t want to be remembered as the first lesbian queens?”
“Well, I do. But I just want that because everyone who comes after us will know that we loved each other,” you grinned.
“We both know that history will remember us as anything other than lovers,” the other girl laughed. She counted off on her fingers, “Roommates, best friends, colleagues, you name it.”
“Whatever.” Sneaking a brief kiss to Seulgi’s lips, you whispered softly, “As long as we know it.”
