#twitter got it trending so i guess so right

[ham1lton]

nepo sister?

pairing: lando norris x fellow driver’s sister!reader (no faceclaim).

summary: your sister is one of the most famous f1 drivers in history and when she suddenly has a barrage of hate and online users comparing her to a certain lando norris, you’ve gotta step in and sort it out. you couldn’t foresee the man in question being into you.

warnings: jokes about adoption but it’s lighthearted. also mentions of racism and sexism. also y/n bullying poor lando in defence of her sister.

author’s note: as i do with requests, i put my own little spin on it! hope u enjoy 💕also i used aaliyah as your sister’s faceclaim but she’s your adopted sister so y/n is still pretty much whoever you view her to be. i refer to yn’s older sis as o/s. in case you were wondering who tf that is. reminder that requests are currently still open!

edit: now part of a series ! <3

warnings ; language

masterlist

TOMMYINNIT

you were sitting on the train to go visit some friends for a stream

you were sitting next to the window, facing the back of the train, while he was on the opposite side, also sitting next to the window, although his backpack was perched so he could rest an arm on top of it

you turn to him and just kinda ask as you're passing a field of cows

"you wanna go bowling sometime? like, as a date? it's fine if you don't wanna" you shrug

Tommy just blinks as his cheeks get a little red

"Uh, sure. I mean, yeah!"

you guys get to where you're going and while he's with tubbo, more secluded from you, tells him about it

"y/n like, casually asked me out on the train and I said yes! I don't know what happened, it was so weird"

"they're concerningly laid back about everything, you know this"

"...true"

TUBBO

you were at a conservatory (flower museum basically) and enjoying all the pretty flowers and plants

you turn to him like "Hey, would you ever go out on a date with me?"

he's silent for a moment before he responds

"is there a right answer?"

"genuine question"

"uh... sure"

he just texts Tommy like "bro y/n just casually asked me out at the flower place wtf"

he's slightly concerned but you enjoy the rest of your time at the conservatory and get a bunch of great pictures

RANBOO

you were doing a stream watching flushed away

lots of laughter and fucking around considering you were on the couch sitting next to each other with a camera in front of you

"what is happening right now???"

"hey, Ran?"

"hm?"

"you wanna go to dinner sometime? like a date?"

chat explodes and you're trending on Twitter before he can even respond

"uhm, uh, yeah, sure"

"cool"

they later tweet a "that was unscripted, and weird. y/n is never streaming w me again"

you reply with "yeah, sure pal"

"okay y/ns steaming w me tmr night stay tuned!!"

FREDDIE BADLINU

you guys + harry were making puppets at his place for a little prank, and making your friends into puppets as well

you were making him while he was making Tommy, and harry was making kermit (??), making some conversation for the camera

you're mostly working on the floor next to Harry because the table wasn't big enough for the three of you

you look up and just kinda blurt it out

"Hey, Freddie, you wanna go rollerskating sometime?"

harrys the first to speak "what the hell?"

"sorry, bad time"

"wh-no, actually, I'd love too" Freddie smiles

he later edits that with some music like it's 2019, pixel meme glasses and all

"got a date, wwwww"

NIKI NIHACHU

you were both playing on the qsmp, and taking care of em

niki passed over some food bc you were building something for her and ran out of food

"Hey, niki, would you ever go on a date with me?"

"wh- oh, uh, I mean, yeah!"

"cool"

her chat explodes and so does yours LMAO

ppl clip it and it's a hot topic on qsmp tumblr for a week or so

you tweet after stream "date ideas, GO"

niki responds with "you have to come here first, y/n/n 😭"

ALEX QUACKITY

you were out exploring the city together for a little vlog on your alt channel

you were talking and having a good time and whatnot, exploring stores and restaurants and parks

"hey, Alex, would you ever like, date me, I guess?"

"yeah- I mean, uhm, I guess so"

"cool"

when you guys get back to the hotel he instantly gets on a call w some friends, whom are streaming, and quickly rants about it, leaving you nameless tho

you see the clipped bit on YouTube the next day and can't help but smile cause honestly w move

I mean I am all for girls sticking together, especially against someone like Joe Jonas who I have side-eye since forever, but if that means fawning over Taylor Swift I guess I'll pass. Especially when she did something very very similar to someone with waaaaay less power than she has in the industry. She has much more in common with Joe Jonas than with Sophie Turner. Obviously, the situations vary in terms of Sophie being a woman (so misogyny adds an awful layer to what she's going through, which Joe Alwyn doesn't have to face) and the mother of Joe's kids, which makes Joe Jonas' actions even worse, but how is it that people are forgetting how Taylor went on her own "smear campaign" against Joe Alwyn just because he dared to break up with her and /or not be willing to marry her? She painted the guy as if he was insecure and jealous of her success, implied he was holding her back, went on pap walks to drive the point home that he was keeping her "hidden" and preventing her from being her own self, made all of her friends unfollow him on social media, all of this knowing exactly how that would look like, and how that would weaponize her fans against him. The dude can't do as much as take a subway without his name going trending on Twitter with her insane fan base calling him all kinds of names. There were fans even wishing for him to kill himself, and the tweet had tons of likes. Never mind the fact she made a point of dating a racist misogynistic right after and weaponized that relationship too (because you can't tell me part of her motivation to state in public she had been the happiest she has ever been, to have the guy in all of her concerts singing along her songs when she built the narrative that Joe was unsupportive of her success wasn't a way of getting back at him). And according to her own lyrics, Joe Alwyn has a history of dealing with mental health issues, like anxiety and depression. And yet, Taylor did all of that to the person she dated for six years. It wasn't a marriage with kids, but the relationship lasted longer than Joe Jonas and Sophie's marriage and almost the entirety of Joe Jonas and Sophie's relationship. I see no difference between Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift, she just gets away with being an awful person. And unfortunately for Joe Alwyn, people bought the narrative that Taylor sold out there about him. Luckily, Joe Jonas wasn't able to stick the "Sophie is a bad mother and unfit partner" narrative to her. I also can't help but think this outing is much more PR Taylor swift seeing an opportunity to come out as a “girl’s girl” than Taylor Swift reaching out to a friend. Afterall, where was this attitude when people were calling her out for dating a racist misogynistic? Hmm yeah, she can fuck off. I also am going to be super cynical here, and it's something I've noticed about her for ages now. To me, she feels a certain validation in other women's failed relationships. Especially with a woman who got something Taylor wished had had herself.

In light of all the bitching about the upcoming patch, I was so happy to hear you’re also not… mad at Larian, I guess? I was wondering if I’m missing something, because for all its bugs, the game is fine the way it is, to me. More than fine, it’s a great game, the first that really means something to me since Dishonored. Idk, I’m literally over here just vibing, glad I’m not alone in that 😌

I noticed there's been a trend in recent years, I think started by those media that truly DID become horribly disappointing as it went on (last season of GOT, for example), and people started just... like

There is a phase most media get where they are the Best Ever, they Can Do No Wrong. And then one day that phase ends, and suddenly, that media Can Do No Right. Everything is a mistake, everything is wrong, everything is an attempt to cater to one group of fans (who are, of course, the wrong group to cater to) and/or an attempt to spite one group of fans. I think that in this day and age, people sometimes don't understand the difference between consuming media critically, I.E., using critical thinking to understand the themes, plot, and characters, and consuming media critically, I.E. criticizing everything the creators say and do.

So instead of looking for simple explanations, I.E., "different trainings and specialties mean that the division of labor at Larian has a team that works on new animations, but that team is not the same team responsible for bug fixes, so getting new animations from the former isn't why the latter hasn't repaired Polearm Master or Shield Bash or Raphael and Mol's scene yet" they instead assume "Larian only cares about Astarion and Halsin* and are catering to their fans again at the expense of literally everything else"

*The idea that Halsin fans are receiving any kind of special treatment is laughable, but that is very much the accusation being made- i want to see their reaction when they open up patch 6 and see that their fave has new kiss animations too tbh. As for the new scenes datamined for Halsin, those are all in response to complaints made by people who HATE Halsin, not complaints by his fans. A platonic confession scene? A version of the post-breaking the curse scene that doesn't involve flirting? The only two that were made for Halsin fans were fixing his post-Drow dialogue and the ability to go with him at the end, and the latter hasn't been fully implemented yet (you can get a flag saying you chose him, but you don't get to tell him and have him respond yet). But I have seriously digressed.

IDK, it just seems like we're in the phase of fandoms where, since the initial joy of discovering what the game has to offer has worn off, people are getting their dopamine from getting angry instead, and that means making a game of who can have the best hot takes, who or what is the most problematic and deserving of shunning, what have the creators done to fuck over us poor fans, etc.

There are many legitimate criticisms to be made against Larian, I want to be clear here- their treatment of Wyll's character has been horrific, and the interactions between Durge and Astarion should have been given for ALL characters. It is appalling that they have let Minthara's romance be bugged to the point that some people can only trigger it by modding the game because the flags are bugged and that they have allowed Halsin's voice lines to be bugged SINCE LAUNCH causing many to think they don't exist. All of these things deserve to be criticized. But ascribing malice to things like having separate work teams on the game, or the pile-on people started over that "we fixed it so a glitch can't cause Gale to leave your party" patch... Yeah.

It's never a good sign when a fandom starts to collectively chase the high that comes from being The Angriest. It doesn't seem to be as prevalent on here as on Twitter, thankfully (ironically, speaking as someone who was on this site since before Superwholock, the most toxic parts of Tumblr moved to Twitter after the porn ban, and now it's mostly rational people on here) but we are rapidly sliding towards the "do you people even like this game or do you like the version of it you created in your head?" phase of fandom that everyone dreads.

Surely Jimin isn't that popular. When you look at views and everything, he is always falling behind the two maknaes and even Jin. How can people claim him to be the most popular? I guess the other two have a huge shipping fandom but still..

Anon, you realise those fancams you're talking about Jimin is the reason they're a thing now? The reason people like you care than their fav has the most views? This is the one that started it all

It had even more views but haters United and reported that video till millions were deleted.

But you're right. He's isn't that popular. He's extremely popular. Him and JK fight neck and neck most popular. This post i made here is for people like you.

Then we have this;

(Look at the name of the account that made that)

And then we have this where he's dominating the first 8 spots and his own group song is at number 9.

Not the first time this has happened either and won't be the last.

Remember how Suga is global ambassador for Valentino? Jhope for LV? RM for Botega? V for Celine? Remember how much chaos Jimin caused at Dior? Did u see this happening for others? Did u see the crowd and the big deal he was?

Never before seen they said....

Numbers don't lie anon.

I hope u can read because that says first artist. Not first Asian. Not first Korean. First Artist. Mkay?

Let's not forget for 2 years now Jimin has been number one. Number 1 for 2 consecutive years as brand reputation king 👑

Jimin is king anon, period. Show him some fucking respect!!

Oh. I see what this is. You thought his popularity is limited to Korea. Remember the other day when twitter got all nasty and people started trending ugly shit? Guess who had the most trending tweets?

Billboard did a thing. Best BTS song they said. Guess who's winning

This is a bit messed up y'all, it should be Run BTS but anyway....

.

.

I am probably forgetting so much, you know, because he's had so many achievements, have broken so many records. Things that actually matter more than views on a fancam? I have a feeling he's joined the rapline in terms of richest members atp.

When JJK1 drops JK will top his boyfriend in more ways than one, of course, 😏 but for now Jimin is holding down the Fort. Okay? Don't ever make the mistake of underestimating Jimin's popularity ever again. Ty

Jason Todd x Singer reader (fem)

Author's note: I posted about this idea SUCH a long time ago. But it never really vanished from my mind, thankfully. Also, this is just a preview. If you guys like it, I can rewrite it and add more chapters.

Warnings: Terrible writting probably (I'll fix it later) also english is not my first language so sorry about any mistakes

__________________________________________________

Dick Grayson was laughing too damn hard. And he was looking at Jason. Which, obviously, made Jason worry. It's always like that with Dick. He starts to laugh like a maniac suddenly, and the reason always turns out to be something bad.

"What is it this time?" Jason asks, feeling already tired of this bullshit. It all got worse when Stephanie bursts into one of the TV rooms of the Manor, laughing just as much as his older brother. And also looking at Jason. He frowns.

"Check out twitter! Or X. What a terrible name, X." Stephanie says, suddenly contemplative. Jason ignores it and grabs his phone inside his pocket, going straight up to the trending topics. It wouldn't be the first time his persona, Red Hood, appeared on them. Or hell, even his actual name. Being a child of Bruce Wayne was just as bad.

Right on the first trending topic.

#RED HOOD'S NEW GIRLFRIEND

The second trending topic was a ship of his persona with a name he never heard of before. He sighs and looks back at Dick, that has an amusing grin on his face.

"Who is this chick?" He asks, clicking on the ship hashtag and scrolling through the tweets.

"You don't know her? She's like, ultra famous." Steph says, arching a blond brow. "I love her. She's super funny and-"

"I don't care. Why are people shipping me with her?" Jason asks, not finding this as funny as his siblings.

Dick laughs again and turns the TV on, putting a video from his cellphone on the large screen. The video is five minutes long. It was an interview of the singer at the Kurt's show, a famous journalist.

"So, I heard the repercussions of your last album were nothing but great. How does it feel to ascend on your career that fastly?" Kurt asked.

"It's great, Kurt. It makes me feel a little nervous. There is a lot of pressure and expectations from my fans, but I'm happy to do my best to satisfy them."

Jason notices the woman is young and well, gorgeous. She wears a black dress and a collar full of diamonds, her hair done perfectly.

"I heard you're a huge fun of... vigilantes. Is that truth?" Kurt asked once more, leaning closer to the woman. She giggles.

"What can I say? I guess they have a lot of fans, and that includes me." She answers. She has a polite smile on her face.

"Tell me, do you have any favorite?" She chuckles at that, the smile never fading. She was clearly having fun talking about this.

"I do! I'm a big fan of Red Hood." She says. Kurt's eyes go wide.

"That's an interesting choice. Why's that?"

"I like how he completes his job and actually ends the bad guys he deal with." She says. It's a bold statement to be done in public, even more considering she's famous. She doesn't seem to care.

"If you could say anything to him, what would you say?"

"I'd ask him to take me to a ride on his bike. Oh, and to get some hobbies out of the vigilantism stuff. I think he needs it. Also, maybe get a girlfriend. It also seems like he needs it."

And then the video ends. Dick and Steph are laughing loudly, and Jason just stares at the television. Get hobbies? Get a girlfriend?

He can hardly believe his ears. But at the same time, it is quite amusing. He goes back to reading the tweets in the hashtag.

Omgggg they'd make such a cute couple!

I'd let both of them punch my face

He can't help but laugh at some the tweets. People don't seem to hate him like the other times he was a trending topic. But it was a bit irritating that he was being shipped with a singer he knows nothing about. But that's just how internet works, anyway.

This can't become much of a problem for him, really. It's just a stupid ship. Nothing too serious. Nothing serious, at all.

Little did he know.

is she single? | spike jonze

summary: the reader, a famous filmmaker, does the WIRED autocomplete interview and the internet just loves how much she brings up spike.

an: been wanting to write about spike for so long and i’m finally doing it <3 also i think i want to make this into a series because it’s my dream to be a filmmaker and this is the result of me knowing it’s never going to happen 😭 and for this imagine, spike didn’t date sofia coppola so sorry to you sofia coppola girlies

warnings: y/n mention i hate using y/n but it’s just for the intro to the interview SORRY also i tried to use questions that don’t mention physical features like height, eye color, etc.

you smiled towards the camera as you heard counting then the words “wired autocomplete interview, take one!”

“hi i’m y/n l/n and this is my WIRED autocomplete interview,” you introduced yourself. suddenly a crew member handed you a board that had google searches covered by strips of white paper. “okay, let’s see what you all google about me.”

you ripped the first strip off and read the question. “what is y/n’s net worth?” you chuckled. “whatever it is, it should be higher.”

again, you ripped off another piece of paper. “what is y/n’s favorite movie? whenever someone asks me this, i always say the same. my answer has never changed for seventeen years. my favorite movie is jackass number two. not the first one or the third or the show. number two.” you said with the most serious tone ever.

“who is y/n dating?” you read then looked at the camera with a smirk. “oh you know, just this guy who called me a bitch when we first met them almost got me arrested because i punched him.”

“is y/n married? unfortunately to the same guy who called me a bitch. our love story is so beautiful, i’m sure we’ll tell it to our kids as a bedtime story one day.” you joked.

“y/n l/n husband. spike should get that tattooed on his forehead. or when he wins awards, they should announce him as y/n l/n husband.” you put the board on the floor and got handed another one.

“y/n l/n oscars 2018,” you weren’t sure what it was trying to say. you were thinking back to oscars day of 2018. that night you and the cast and crew for your movie had won the major categories, best picture, best screenplay, best director, and best actor and actress. then it hit you. apart from your movie trending that night because of the wins, you were also trending.

“oh! i guess they’re talking about when i gave my speech and i ‘forgot’ to thank spike. he knows that i love him and respect him. a lot of people on twitter were tweeting me some mean stuff like ‘you forgot your husband? why didn’t you thank your man? you’re a bitch!’ first of all, he wasn’t even mad, second, the only person who gets to call me a bitch and get away with it is spike jonze. and lastly, we went out for ice cream after so everyone was happy in the end.” you smiled brightly as you remembered that night.

“who is y/n l/n’s celebrity crush?” spike knew about your many celebrity crushes, but he didn’t know about your first ever celebrity crush. “i don’t know if this is cheesy, it might be now that i’m thinking about it, but whatever. my first, emphasis on first, celebrity crush was and still is spike jonze. i know, cheesy, right? but before i met him, i had this huge crush on him because i saw his picture in this magazine i bought. actually only a few people know this so why not tell the whole world. i went out with this guy and we had the dinner and a movie type of date so we went out to this new restaurant then we went to go see this movie he really wanted to see and that movie was ‘being john malkovich’. we didn’t go on another date after that because a month later i met spike and that’s when the whole bitch and punching thing happen.” you explained.

“well, that was my wired autocomplete interview. i hope you learned a little bit more about me because i tend to over share a lot. thanks for watching!” you waved goodbye to the camera.

TWITTER

hey!! can you maybe write a fic w quackity x fem or gn!reader

and like he and the reader are like enemies to lovers arc??

i j rlly want some angsty fics rnnnn

A Four-Way Call ☎️ [Quackity]

a/n: this one might be my all time favorite :o

“the next few days were a blur. this whole ‘y/nnap’ thing was a dagger in the heart.”

TRACK: Show Me How - Men I Trust

“hey y/n, shut the fuck up — nobody asked.” his voice rang through your headphones. you felt the heat rush up your cheeks in embarrassment as karl and george started laughing.

normally, you would’ve found this funny. normally, you would’ve laughed along and thought of a witty remark to get him back. but today was not one of those days. today, his nasty words were just another add on to your shitty night, and you couldnt bring yourself to go along with the joke.

everytime you said something, quackity would spit out a casual “shut the fuck up” in response. so halfway through the stream you just gave up on speaking, and if someone asked you a question, your minecraft character would nod or shake its head.

“fuck off quackity, i asked. what were you saying y/n?” sapnap interuppted. you smiled for the first time that stream, and you couldnt help the warm feeling of appreciation. “sapnap, i am in love with you.” you joke, crouching your character in front of his.

he let out a small giggle, crouching back. “if anyone here is mean to y/n from now on, im going to kill you — and im talking to you quackity.” he plays along, the vc breaking into all sorts of noises. george lets out a loud wheeze, “woah sapnap no need to get all posessive” “Y/NNAP?” karl shouts. “yep. shes mine.” sapnap replies.

“okay jeez mr boyfriend, ill back off” quackity says in surrender. he knew it was all jokes, but the felt the wave of jealousy flooding through his veins made him question if it wasnt. it was pathetic to feel this way, especially over something he knew damn well was his fault. the remainder of the stream was such a mess. sapnap was giving you flowers and building you a house, and he could only watch with a salty, bitterness in his stomach.

after the stream, ‘Y/NNAP’ was trending on twitter. alex scrolled through the tag with his jaw clenched, making sure to scroll past the ones with hearts. if he’d known his one comment would’ve caused this whole mess, he would take it back in a heartbeat.

let me tell you something if you havent figured it out already. alex was infacutated with you. obsessed, even. the cruel jokes had no hurtful intention, he simply just wanted your attention. it would give him a sense of satisfaction when you would notice him for even a split second, and once he started, he couldnt stop. the shitty words came out left and right, any direction whenever he craved your attention.

you loved alex before you even met him. he was such a loveable person, someone you looked up to. and you did love him when you met him, you did at first, but something went wrong. you didnt know when or how, but something definitely went wrong.

with a snap of a finger, he started to hate you. of course you knew it was all a joke, but it seemed as if he got too carried away. at first he would send you apologetic texts after every stream, something along the lines of “hey, im sorry for being so harsh tonight, i didnt mean any of it.” but one day he just, stopped.

“thank you for the flowers, sap.” your voice rang through the vc. alex’s smile faultered for a split second before coming back up. he saw your character running up to him from a distance, with his heartbeat increasing by every step you took. “hey asshole. not telling me to shut up today?” you giggled, hitting him to say hi. “your boyfriend doesnt allow it now, does he?” he tested the waters. “i guess so.”

oh how he hated your reply. for the first time in his life, he hated that you agreed with him.

the next few days were a blur. this whole ‘y/nnap’ thing was a dagger in the heart. he felt intimidated, like he had to compete for someone that he didnt even have a chance with. surely you hated him by now, right?

quackity’s silence confused you. he didnt join your streams, didnt invite you to his — even if it meant he could roast the shit out of you. and there was one thing you didnt want to admit. you missed him. maybe it was the feeling in your gut that was bashing you for replacing him so easily, or maybe it was the feeling of this unexpected love and affection from someone else. but you did miss him.

it felt as if this rivalry dynamic between you and quackity had just been crushed by a newfound dynamic, one that was far different from this one. you didnt know which you liked better, you didnt know who you liked better.

“whats going on with you and y/n? like are you guys good?” karl asks through the call. alex brings his phone better up to his ear, laying down on his bed. he looked up at the ceiling in a panic. “w-what do you mean?” he answers. “like youre always mean to her on stream like you hate her, and now you just dont talk to her anym-“

“im in love with y/n.” he blurts out. “okay- i know that seems really weird right now but-“

“what?” karl asks.

“what?” an unfamiliar voice. sapnap. sapnap was in the call.

“sapnap? what are you doing here? i thought it was just me and karl in the call-”

“youre in love with y/n?” he interrupts.

“well yeah. are you?” alex asks. he holds his breath in tightly awaiting his reply.

“no, she’s my friend.”

“someone’s in love with me?”

your voice made alex’s heart jump out of his chest. it was en electrifying feeling. the drag of his fingertips against his forehead felt too fake, this whole situation felt too fake. he wanted to wake up from this hell of a nightmare.

“y/n? y-you heard all of that?” he asked.

“no, just the last part. who’s in love with me? i swear if its sapnap joking around im gonna kill him-”

“alex is.” karls said. damn you, karl.

here it is again, the awkward silence. it felt like all oxygen had been sucked out your chest, leaving you behind hopeless. your mind became blank as you thought of something to say, something that wouldnt leave him hanging like this very moment.

“alex?” you ask.

“i am. im in love with you y/n.”

“i guess i can get used to your love.”

epilogue.

sapnap left the call the second he heard what you said. maybe he was all wrong.

maybe the master plan of swooping in to save you at just the perfect moment wasn’t enough, maybe dream was wrong.

“okay- the next time quackity says something you have to butt in and help her.”

“she’s playing along, great! she’ll love you in no time. trust me.”

“keep flirting with her. flirt until she flirts back.”

his words were loud and clear. effective too, but maybe not in the long run.

I'm so kdhdkdjdkd jazzed about the fjorester proposal !!!! But something that popped up pretty immediately that baffled me was these like... cope posts i guess? Of how "beau and jester should cheat leaving their partners for eachother and how dw guys marriage is just going to spice up the inevitable affair" and it's not even treated as a joke and Im just confused? Like i got into cr2 by the time it was over with so idk what it was like waiting for releases, but why after all this time do people hold on as much as they do? Do they like the story or not?

So I will be totally honest: I am not above checking the blogs of those I know hold terrible opinions, for a number of reasons both reasonable (keeping an eye out for potential harassment; inspiration for meta; my genuine enjoyment of analyzing fandom trends) and less so (schadenfreude and sending DMs that say Can You Believe This Idiot) but I actually have not seen this! To be clear, I would not be surprised it was out there - heaven knows this was a refrain during late Campaign 2 and in the leadup to the two-shot - but I thought that most people finally gave up in late 2022 after the two-shot made it clear the existing relationships are still very much in place. Granted I, as always, rarely go on Twitter.

Anyway. I think some of it is just that people whose enjoyment of works hinges on their ships becoming canon, rather than that being one of many facets to their fandom, also tend to not know when to give up just generally (you can look around this website and still find people hopping mad and/or pining for resolution regarding shows that ended before Campaign 2 even started). I think most of them did finally give up and leave, which is probably healthier for both them and the fandom, but there will probably be a dwindling number of holdouts who will gasp out on their deathbed fifty years hence "Beau and Jester should have been together" to a politely confused hospice nurse.

To actually answer your question, no, they do not like the story. I know I've been very hard on people who seem to only be able to enjoy fiction through a lens of either shipping or intense projection of the self onto existing characters, but in my defense, I'm right. This is a whole separate post, which to be honest I've kind of already made several times, but the usual complaint about the Campaign 2 noncanon ships (echoed in the complaints about Campaign 3 primarily by those who do like the canon ships thereof) was that they would have happened and been flawless and perfect but for that Pesky Plot, ie, the story. Unless the entire point of a story is a romance (eg: the genre that is cleverly titled "Romance") romance is always optional.

I also think, to be honest, Campaign 2 attracted people who were patient. This is a good thing! I think that, for example, people who are not entirely feeling Campaign 2 13 episodes in are valid, because I was similarly enjoying myself but not entirely won over by the plot yet, and it was only a combination of that patience and the burgeoning character dynamics that kept me going (plus the fact that watching week to week is a lower commitment than a binge). Granted I think if you fully give up at that point you are weak and will not survive the winter and should probably go watch Michael Bay movies or Bluey, but that's a separate point. Anyway. Some people are patient beyond a point where it is rewarding or even neutral and pass into a realm of showing up to the Story That Has Fjorester and Beauyasha In It muttering "I hope this doesn't have any fucking Fjorester and Beauyasha". I don't know how to help them, nor do I particularly want to, but I do know that not going on Twitter has been super helpful.

One final note: again, haven't seen the thing you mention in your ask yet in relation to this one-shot and not for lack of poking around Tumblr at least; but I have seen people who were deeply bitter about Campaign 2 but are still around for Campaign 3, though not a ton, and this was also frankly true of people who loved Campaign 1 and have not really cared since but still stick around. There's a weird zombie problem in the fandom; you get people who are very invested in being a fan of Critical Role and can't seem to leave, but haven't actually been happy for literal years, either because they were ultimately only fans of Vox Machina, or the Mighty Nein, or a specific ship within that. It is actually something I try to be cognizant of because I was very cautious about becoming that during the stretch when I was more frustrated by Campaign 3 than I am now. I think, ultimately, it's a conflation of one's fandom with one's external identity and I don't know how that happens or how to fix it but that might also be a factor: people who really don't like the show and haven't for years and are grasping at a thing they think would fix that and make them happy again, and refuse to admit it might be time to move on because that would mean they need to change their conception of themselves.

Thoughts On The Final Noragami Chapter

⚠️Will Contain Spoilers!⚠️

Now that it’s been a few days, I wanted to share my thoughts about the ending. Overall, I liked it. I honestly assumed the ending would be sad or bitter sweet at best, and while the latter can be argued, I’m glad everyone got their happy ending.

I heard someone say this felt like an epilogue rather than an ending and I have to agree. It was rushed, and there’s many plot points that hadn’t had proper concussions or will ever get answered. Some examples being are Yukine and Kazuma’s names still cracked, the vents that were still opened, all the shinkis exposed/died to ggs, heaven as a whole, how Hiyori got un-shinkied and probably a LOT more. I would have liked to see more loose ends tied up, but I guess it’s up to us to assume what happened. (Fanfic writers this is your time!)

What I did enjoy most is that this chapter was all about healing and new beginnings! Many characters got closure to their arcs that wrapped up sweetly.

I’m gonna go through some of my favorite panels and express my thoughts or things I liked.

First and foremost, Doctor Hiyori! She continues to help people with a smile. Glad to see many people’s prediction were right 😄

It was nice to see Yuka get the closure she needed and finally be able to grieve. She caught a glimpse of her brother through the Sakura trees just like Yato hoped she would. All Yukine wanted was his sister to be happy and it finally came true.

COO PHONE!

Take and Kiun being dads, and Take letting them know that their is nothing to be ashamed of with reincarnation because he is like them. He is helping to end heaven’s stigma. Not shown but, older Ebisu! He is growing up 🥹

Glad to see Bishamon back in action. It looks like her shinki can now take the form of the limbs that she badly damaged during the heaven arc. A bonus is Kazumas new glasses! They look cute ☺️ Not sure why Yato didn’t decide to release him but I thought the comment where Yato tells yukine that Kazuma was his little brother was funny. Yato and bishamon truly are divorced parents.

Though I do wish this was handled differently, I find it hilarious that Yato was saved through the power of Twitter and then Noragami immediately started trending. A true full circle moment 🙏

I liked that this panel showed that Trauma doesn’t go away, but instead you learn to heal and live with it. Sometimes the best way to help someone is just being there for them and showing that they’re not alone ❤️ Also PAPAGAMI

This page was everything to me. I am so happy that Hiiro got her happy ending and that she is learning to heal. She was loved! She doesn’t need to be a tool and pretend anymore. She can be herself and mend the relationships with those around her.

MY MOUTH REMEMBERS

MY MOUTH REMEMBERS

MY MOUTH REMEMBERS

God Yato watching her all these years. Hiyori went through a lot the final arc. She may not have been in the center of the battle, but she was the one behind the scenes responsible for telling Yuka the truth, and helping Hiiro realize she is more than Father’s tool. She gave her life trying to help everyone, and though she miraculously came back, it cost her memory. After everything that happened Yato never wanted to put her in that position again. She died in his arms and he was forced to name her. I can understand wanting to give her space until she can heal physically and mentally. Their ties were never severed, and years later in the spring, when the Sakuras bloomed, she smelled him and remembered.

It reminds me of the saying, “If you love something, set it free but if it comes back to you, it’s yours.”

Whether you see them as platonic or romantic, they are meant to be by each other’s side❤️

I am so glad I got to experience Noragami the final 3 years of its run. It was the first manga I had ever read, and will forever hold a special place in my heart. It inspired me to write, create art, and join many fun experiences like bigbangs and zines.

Thank you Adachitoka for creating such an amazing series!!!

jeno x female reader fluff

7. Maybe together we can get somewhere

Masterlist - Previously - Next

Chapter soundtrack: Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

The sun was piercing through the curtains, waking up Julia. She took her time getting out of bed, letting the memories over the previous night rush over her. She took a quick shower before putting on an old Ferrari tee-shirt that she once borrowed from her dad (and never gave back) and some sweatpants. She was going to work a little bit on the data that some engineer from Warsaw had sent yesterday. She needed to be comfortable. A quick detour to the kitchen to make herself some toast and a cappuccino and she was ready to face her day. She came back to her room and sat at her desk. Before logging in, she unplugged her phone and quickly wen through the few texts messages and social media notifications. Her gaze was attracted by a name trending on Twitter and soon a text message from the same person that was under the spotlight on the app.

It worked.

She knew that she should stay away from the posts on social media, but curiosity got the better of her. She clicked on Ethan’s name and soon she was overwhelmed with pictures of them in the restaurant and hundreds of comments of people trying to guess who the girl in the pictures was. Investigations had begun and Julia knew it was only a matter of time before they get to her. A part of her knew that nothing would give away that it was her. The picture was blurry, the only thing you could see was her back and a brunette wearing a black dress was something pretty common. That was the rational part of her brain that was talking. But the tiny insecure one couldn’t help but play the devil’s advocate. What if someone had seen her and decided to speak? What if there were other pictures that were not online yet and someone decided to release them? Monaco was after all a small city, almost a village where everyone knew everyone. She could feel herself spiralling and nausea coming over her. She only had time to go to the toilet before emptying her stomach.

“Julia? Are you okay,” asked her mom that was passing by.

She knelled beside her daughter and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

“I’m fine, I must have eaten something that my stomach didn’t like yesterday, that’s it.”

“You sure? Did everything go well yesterday? I didn’t hear you coming back.”

Julia’s only answer was to throw up again. It was as if her body was trying to tell her that the whole thing was a bad idea. She felt her mom’s cold hand on her neck and then moving up to her forehead.

“I’m not sick, mom.”

“You are throwing up and you are shivering, excuse me to feel a little worried.”

“It’s just the stress. That’s it. We have a lot of work to do…”

It was not a lie. It was just not the reason why Julia felt so sick.

“I knew it might not be a good idea to let you work in F1 right after graduating…” she heard her mom sigh.

“That’s my dream. I don’t want to work anywhere else.”

“I know, but sometimes you have to delay your dreams in order to feel ready. Maybe you could have started in F2, I know Fred still have some ties with Art Grand Prix…”

“No! I’m okay. I just need to get used to the pressure and I’ll be fine.” explained Julia, getting up.

“Come with me, I was about to make myself some tea. I’ll make you one. You need to drink.

Julia followed her mom as they make their way to the kitchen. Julia sat on a bar stool and watched silently her making the water boil in the kettle. The comfort silence was suddenly interrupted by angry footsteps coming from her father’s office. She heard him hanging up his phone call with rage and barging through the kitchen’s doors before sitting on the stool next to her. From the corner of her eyes she saw her mom taking another mug from the cabinet and pour a third cup of tea for her dad.

“What is happening?” asked Charles’ wife.

“We are screwed. We are not going to win a championship this year. It’s over. Lamborghini won.” he explained.

“Didn’t take you for a quitter, honey. That’s not the man I married.”

“It’s just… the data between the simulation and the actual data we collect during the race are strictly different. We are losing speed during straight lines, with or without DRS. We don’t know where the problem comes from yet, but I just had a call with our technical director isn’t optimistic about the upgrades we are working on for the Casa Grand Prix. I know I shouldn’t tell you that Julia, but I needed to let this out.”

Julia had rarely seen her dad so defeated and frustrated. Sure it happened before, when he was still driving, but he never was under the amount of pressure a Team Principal could receive and Julia could see the toll it was taking in him. She drank the rest of her tea in one gulp and went back to her room. Rummaging through her suitcase, she finally found the envelope she was searching for. She took out the USB drive and plugged it in her computer. In front of her eyes, dozen of documents could be seen. Pictures of the car, of notes taken by engineers, of date displaying on screens even blueprints of the car that Ethan might have copied from someone else’s computer. She was impressed by the dedication of her fake boyfriend to get her onboard. He really was not joking when he told her that he had important pieces of information. Of course, some things were lacking but Julia knew that if she studied them really hard, she could fill the blanks. A least she hoped so.

Downtown Monte-Carlo, in his flat Ethan was expecting Maserati’s PR manager phone call and was not surprises when he received it, right after his morning run.

“What were you thinking? We asked you to fake settling down not keep acting like a dick!”

Ethan sighed before drinking a huge glass of water in one gulp.

“And I’m working on it, but I can’t appear at the next GP with a girl out of nowhere. We have to make it believable. That’s what I’m doing. I called the paps yesterday. It’s under control, relax.”

“Who is the girl?” she asked.

“Not going to say. You will corner her and make her sign stuff, I know you. I don’t want you to make her run away, it was hard enough to get her onboard.”

“Ethan…”

“No. You will know when I’ll deem it useful for you to know. For now it’s not the case, but don’t worry, she is perfect. You have to trust me.”

He couldn’t help but smile, imaging the PR officer probably rolling her eyes at the idea of having to trust him. She was pissed of, he could hear it. But he didn’t care. For once, he had control on his life. Ever since he started to get big and under the spotlight, people tried to get advantage of his image. He stopped counting the number of brands that contacted him and the photoshoots he had done in the past. And of course people that tried to use him because of his father. He was not stupid, contrary to what other people might think and what it seemed. He knew who he could trust and who he couldn’t. But as his dad once said to him, really early in his career: “ You will attract dishonest people like corpses attract vultures, don’t hesitate to use them the way they will use you.”

“You’ve never made it easy for us to trust you.”

“See that as a new start.” he replied.

Ashley ended the call, not without making him promise to not do anything stupid. They didn’t need another scandal. Right after hanging up, his phone rang again and the name of his mother appeared on the screen. Ethan wondered if he should ignore it. He knew why his mother was calling, she must had seen the pictures and she wanted to know everything. But Ethan knew better, if he was not answering she was perfectly capable to come to his place and that was the last thing he wanted.

“Mom…”

“Were you on a date yesterday?” was the first thing she asked.

“Oh I’m fine mom. My flight was amazing and I made it home safely. The beginning of the season is not so great but I hope it will get better. I’m so happy you asked.”

“Smartass. So, do I know her? Is she from Monaco? How long have you seen each other? Why am I not aware of anything? You don’t tell me anything about your life lately…” she complained.

“Maybe I’m not telling you anything because it’s always like this! You are intrusive. It doesn’t matter what i do or it’s not good enough or it’s too risky or it’s too stupid. But it’s my life. I’m not fifteen anymore, I’m old enough to make my own decisions.”

He didn’t know where this was coming from. Probably a mix of everything that had happened the last few days. He was tired, under pressure and a part of him was scared the whole fake-dating would turn sour really quickly. He din’t entirely trust Julia. After all, he was giving the responsibility to save his career to a girl that hated his guts.

“I’m worried about you. And I wouldn’t need to if you had given me reasons to trust you in the past.”

He knew this conversation was not going anywhere. They both were too stubborn to admit their wrongdoings.

“How is dad?” he asked.

“Don’t try to change the subject, I still want to know who that girl is.”

“And I won’t tell you.”

“Is she from Monaco? Or Italian maybe? Or French?”

“She is Monegasque, born and raised here. See, happy?” he ended up saying, fed up by her questions.

“Oh so I might know her, then. Monaco is not that big.”

Ethan knew his mom. She was going to dig he was sure of it and that was the last thing he wanted. Because she knew that she was going to talk to other people and soon everyone will know that Ethan was dating someone. And that would mess with the whole plan him and Julia had come up with.

“Mom, it’s still early and I’m not even sure it will lead anywhere. Please, I’m not asking for much just let me go at my own pace and if it becomes serious I’ll let you know. I promise. But for now it’s too soon.”

He heard her sigh.

“Fine. Just one more question. How long has it been going on? Because with the scandal…”

“It’s been a few weeks.”

And that was another lie he could add on the pile that was starting to get big. He had to explain it to Julia so they wouldn’t mess with their relationship timeline in case questions were raised.

“Okay. Well, I’m happy for you Ethan, really. And I will be waiting for the day I’ll get to meet her. I won’t force you to talk about her if you don’t feel ready but you must care a lot about her if you are asking me to not mingle in your life. I’m glad you are happy and you finally found someone you want to spend time with.”

Ethan couldn’t help but feel a pinch of regret in his heart. He could hear his mom being genuinely happy for him and he knew that if she happened to know about the lie, it would crush her. He said his goodbye to her, promising to visit her soon and decided to go out. He needed to clear his mind after this conversation and to forget how of a liar he had become in the span of a few days. He was not proud of it. He felt bad, but Ethan was ready to do anything to keep his seat, even if he had to go as far as lying and potentially hurting his loved ones. He just hoped that the truth would never see the light of the day.He put on a jacket that was lying on his couch and left his flat. It was windy in Monaco, even a bit chilly, he could feel the salty air coming from the sea on his face. He took a deep breath before turning his dead to the left to see if a car was passing by before crossing the road and was surprised to notice a silhouette that he was becoming familiar with running in his direction.

Her brown hair pulled in a ponytail was bouncing from left to right, rhythmically with her footsteps. When she finally arrived near him, she was breathless and bright red from her run. He was about to say something when she interrupted him, pointing her finger in front of his face, silently shutting him up.

“Louis knows.” she said.

Ethan took a minute to understand what she meant.

“He knows? About us? What did you tell him?”

“Nothing, I swear. My brother is a genius and knows me better than anyone. I didn’t say anything, he put 2 and 2 together. He thinks we are dating. ”

“But you didn’t deny it.”

“I don’t want to lie to him.”

“Well you did lie, because technically we are not dating for real.”

“I don’t want to lie to him more than necessary.” she added.

“My mom is suspicious. I mean, you know her, you know how much she likes gossips so it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that she knows about the rumours and she saw the pictures. It will probably only be a matter of time before she finds out about you and I.”

Julia leaned over the wall and let herself gliding to the floor. She didn’t think about that. She didn’t think about how great friends her mom and Ethan’s were. If Kat met up with Lyanna, chances were high that they would talk about their kids. And Ethan’s dating life would be mentioned and then Lyanna would probably tell Kat that Julia had been on a date, because Julia knew for sure that her mom didn’t believe her when she said she was going to meet some friends. And then, their cover would blow up. Their moms would questioned them. Julia closed her eyes and try to take a deep breath that was soon caught up in her throat preventing her from exhaling normally. She tried to stand and started to pace back in forth, her breathing shallow, to organised her thoughts. But no matter how hard she tried to compartment her thoughts, new ones were adding up to the pile and she soon felt like the whole world was crushing down on her shoulders. She tried to keep the tears from falling by shaking her head but it was no use.

Ethan didn’t know what to do and he ended up doing the one thing he thought about. He put his body in front of her and his two hands on her shoulders firmly, forcing her to stop. She looked at him, anchoring herself in his blue eyes that was staring at her with a harden look.

“Julia… hey, Joolsie. Stop and listen to me. We are in this shit together, I dragged you into it. I may be an ass but i’m not ungrateful. You were kind enough to help me and you will go through enough of shit because of me. I promise you, I will try to make this whole dating thing the less painful possible. I owe you a big one, I’m not going to let you down. And you know me, you know that when I promise something, I don’t back down on it.”

It calmed her down a little bit. They tacitly decided to walk along the harbour, as Ethan lived nearby and they knew that there wouldn’t be a lot of people. The walk was silent as they didn’t know what to say. Julia was still deep in her thoughts and Ethan was eyeing her from the side. She really looked like Charles, he thought. The same way to carry themselves, the same hazel eyes, the same driven attitude and fiery look when they set their eyes on something. He never really paid attention before. He would even go as far as to say that she was pretty and in another life, she would have been his type. But she was Julia and he was Ethan and so, he put this thought in a box and far away in his mind.

They found a quiet spot away from the main road and near the sea. They sat on the only bench and looked at the coastline.

“This is my favourite place when I need somewhere to cool off.” Ethan told her, breaking the silence.

“Mine is the big cabin in our garden, at home. It’s used as a screaming room when someone needs to let go of some stress or anger. It was my mom’s idea, so no one would shout again one another and Louis had somewhere to go if he felt the need to be on his own, in a safe environment.” she explained with a bittersweet smile when she mentioned her brother.

“How is he? Is he still home schooled?”

“Yeah. It’s still hard for him to be around a lot of people for more than an hour…”

“But, how can he get used to it if your parents keep him sheltered?”

“That’s what I’m trying to tell them but… they are scared I guess.”

‘It must be hard, no? To have a brother like him.’

He saw her glared at him and added quickly that in no mean did he think that Louis wasn’t normal.

“He has ups and down. Like everyone, I guess. But his are always very high or very low. He doesn’t know how to recognise what he feels. It can take him days to put a word on a feeling. So, yeah… it’s hard. Sometimes it feels like no matter what we all do to help him, it’s not enough.”

“Does he have friends or is he really lonely?”

“He has Percy, Lando’s son. I don’t know if Louis considers him as friend, but I know that they chat online from time to time. That’s the closest thing he has of a friend and contact with the outside world.” she fidgeted with her red bracelet, her gaze set on it.

“And you, do you have friends, Joolsie?”

She was about to answer when a girl interrupted them. She was young, probably around fourteen years old with blond curls falling down on her shoulders.

“Hey, sorry to interrupt but, are you Ethan Verstappen?”

Julia looked away and put distance between them as Ethan replied with a smiled and posed with the girl for a selfie. As she left, not without thanking Ethan one last time and wishing him the best of luck for the season, they left their spot and wandered off the street. As they were planning their next move, Julia’s phones buzz and a text from her mom appeared on the screen.

It’s getting late, Ju’. Are you far from home?

She looked at the time and realised that she was almost late for dinner and the sun was about to set.

“I have to go. I don’t want to upset my mom more than she probably already is, I didn’t realise that it was late. We’ve been out for hours, I didn’t notice.” she told Ethan.

“Who would have thought that we could manage to stay out together for hours and not rip each other’s heads off? Look, we made it out alive. Maybe, this whole fake dating thing might work.” Ethan teased her.

She laughed slightly before waving him goodbye.

When she finally got back home and was surprised to see her dad playing with Bailey and her ball. He was sitting down on the stairs of the porch and seemed down which alarmed Julia. She didn’t like seeing him like this because it meant that something happened with Louis.

“Dad? Is everything okay?”

He looked up to her and sighed, before scooting over to give her some space to sit down.

“I messed up with your brother. Again.” he confessed with a low voice.

“What happened?” she asked gently putting her head on his shoulder as she felt her dad’s cheek resting on the top of her head.

“I involuntarily triggered him and now he locked himself in his room and doesn’t want to see anyone. He… he was playing piano and I… I’m stupid. I just thought that maybe I could play with him, that it could be a nice bonding moment. That if I can’t get through him with words maybe I can let music do the talking, you know? I startled him. I know that I should have made myself seen. Instead I just went and scared him. He started to panic because he didn’t feel that I was around and I tried to reassure him. I naturally put a hand on his shoulder and I shouldn’t have. I know that he doesn’t like when someone touch him without his permission. And he started to scream. The more I was trying to calm him down, the worst I made everything.”

“It’s not your fault, dad…” Julia tried to comfort him.

“I fail him, Ju’. Times and times again. I’ve always failed him and I keep on doing so. Why am I such a bad dad to him?”

“You’re not a bad dad. You try your best, like you always do. And maybe it won’t be today or tomorrow, but I know that it will get better. Because when you want something, you do everything you can to achieve it.”

She felt her dad’s head nuzzling against hers and his embrace being stronger.

“I love you, princess. I feel like I don’t tell you that enough.”

She grabbed his hand and squeezed it before standing up. The house was quiet. Her feet dragged her to her brother’s bedroom where her mother was talking to a closed door.

“Louis, baby, please open the door. Talk to me, please. Daddy is so sorry he didn’t want any of that to happen.”

She seemed tired and Julia regretted to have not come back earlier. Maybe if she had been there, the incident wouldn’t have happened.

“Mom? I’m taking it from here. Go see dad, I think he needs you.”

“You sure?”

Julia nodded and when her mom was out of sight she stuck her ear against the door, trying to hear something from the inside.

“Hey munchkin. Can I come in? I promise you, it’s only me.”

She waited for what felt like minutes before the door opened slightly. It was just a crack but it was big enough to allow Julia to slip through it. Louis was sitting on the floor, his back against the wall near the door. Getting closer to him, Julia noticed he was shaking slightly. She sat beside him, careful to not go to close in case it would trigger another crisis.

“Do you want to talk about it?” she asked softly, her voice barely a whisper.

“Dad hates me.” he ended up saying, is voice hoarse from the screaming and the crying.

“Why would you think that?”

“I just know it. He is ashamed of me.”

“Louis… it’s not true. You know that.”

“Yes it is. I surprised a conversation between him and mom once. I know it’s bad to eavesdrop and I didn’t want to but then I heard my name…”

“What did you hear?”

“Dad saying that he would have loved to have a son that was into racing and who would have been like him. That he would have loved to know how grandpa was feeling when dad was competing in karting. Because it would have brought him closer to his dad. He would have preferred to have a normal son and not a weirdo like me. He didn’t say that but it felt like it.”

Julia didn’t really know what to say but one thing was for sure, she knew that Louis had misinterpreted whatever he had heard and was not meant to. She would talk to her mom about it later.

“Normality is overrated Louis. And I wouldn’t want another brother. You are perfect just the way you are.”

It made him feel a little bit better. At least he wasn’t shaking anymore. She pulled out of her pockets his favourite sweets that she always kept on her in case of emergency occurring with him. The smile that she managed to get it from him, made her happy and it’s with a lighter heart that she went back to her room. As she was about to plugged her phone, she saw he text from Ethan, appearing at the top of her notifications.

Hey, I hope you made it home safe and sound. The fan that asked for a picture earlier posted it online and she said that I was with who she thought was my girlfriend. It’s on a lot of gossip accounts. Just thought that I should let you know. Take care.

Julia gulped. Of course it was something that she imagined could have happened but she was so used to control everything that this slight inconvenience in their plan well thought was enough to make her anxious. It was real now, they could not back down. She couldn’t, not anymore. She opened Instagram and went to her profile. Maybe it was time for her to make it public. It would give her a sense of control over what was posting about her. She went in the app setting and opened the access to her profile.

Seventeen’s reaction when they see their ex with someone new

Scoups - Beats himself up about it

Scoups thought he was past the age where social media had the power to ruin his day but he was wrong. He knew when he saw your name trending on Twitter he shouldn't have pressed it but he did and there it was. Dispatch had released photos of you and SHINee's Taemin holding hands together on some street corner. He'd studied every inch of the photo, the way Taemin was looking at you so fondly, how you were smiling big and bright like Scoups had never existed and how happy the two of you looked together. To make things worse both your companies had chosen not to deny the allegations, basically confirming it was true. All Scoups could think of was this was surely the worst he'd ever messed anything up. He'd loved you so much but he'd been too busy to make time for you and so he'd lost you. He'd had the girl of his dreams but because he didn't prioritise you enough you'd left. You'd found someone new and it was nobody's fault but his own.

That was how Jeonghan found him, an hour later huddled in bed with ice cream and a Disney movie playing. His friend had heard the announcement too of course and came to see how he was. From the initial assessment Jeonghan guessed not good. "Hey...having a movie day?" he called trying a lighter approach. "Yeah something like that" Scoups nodded barely meeting his eye. "You should’ve invited me, you know I love movie days". Scoups shrugged "I wanted to be alone". Jeonghan sighed "I know about y/n". Scoups flinched before acting like nothing happened "y/n?". "I know you know she's dating Taemin and I know how hard that must be for you". Scoups went to deny it when Jeonghan shot him a look "don't even think about pretending otherwise. I know you Seungcheol". Scoups finally crumpled "it's all my fault" he said in a small voice "I knew if I didn't cherish her I'd lose her and I did...she's found someone worthy of her". "Stop that" Jeonghan said sharply "you and y/n did not break up because you weren't good enough or didn't try hard enough. You were simply too busy! Your lives were incompatible that's all. We'd just debuted and you had so much on your plate...nobody is to blame and y/n does not hate you. You never treated her badly". "But I could've done things differently I could've...". "There's no use doing this to yourself, we could spend all our time thinking about things we could've done. It's no use. The past is the past, you're a good person Scoups, you'll find someone again". Scoups sighed at how many times he'd heard that but he also knew Jeonghan wouldn't lie about something like this. "You mean it?" he asked quietly and Jeognhan nodded "I know it, now come on. The guys and I are heading out to dinner and you're coming with us". So Scoups got up cleaned himself up and headed out with his friends.

Jeonghan - Gets angry

The minute Jeonghan saw your group standing next to BTS the members knew it wasn't going to be good. "I mean way to be subtle" he muttered and Scoups glanced at him "to be fair I don't think they chose to stand there". "Ow come on, Jin could've asked to be moved to the left or something". 

Scoups just shrugged and hoped that would be the end of it but no. When BTS won the award they all had short acceptance speeches and Jeonghan glared throughout Jin's. "He's so conceited, worldwide handsome". "It's just his stage character it's not really him" Joshua explained but Jeonghan wasn't in the mood for logic. "He wouldn't go along with it if he didn't think he was good-looking. You can tell by the way he acts he loves it". Then as idols began clearing the stage BTS started singing their song and Jin was right at the front dancing. "Typical" Jeonghan muttered, he didn't miss the way Jin kept grinning glancing near you or how you were smiling widely cheering him on. "I don't know what y/n sees in him". The members all looked away and Joshua quickly changed the subject.

Jeonghan sighed feeling crap. He knew he was being annoying, he could hear the words coming out of his mouth and he cringed with each one but he couldn't seem to stop them. He walked off stage the minute he could and noticed the members all treading carefully around him. So he did the mature thing and he let go of his anger. "Hey we were thinking of going to bar or something, do you want to come?" Dk asked cautiously. Jeonghan nodded "I'd love to thanks for inviting me. I promise no more y/n talk". Everyone smiled at that looking relieved but Joshua patted his shoulders "it's okay. We know how hard breakups are". All the members nodded and told him it was fine making Jeonghan smile. He had really good friends. Joshua - "I'm fine" but he’s really not fine

Joshua couldn't believe that your companies were letting you and Exo’s Sehun introduce the award together. Given you were dating he was sure they’d want you two miles apart but no you were stood beside one another and of course you both looked great together. 

Joshua could feel his members glancing at him during the segment and although he appreciated their concern it was also quite annoying. He fiddled with his suit jacket for something to do and Dk caught him. Dk leant over to him and whispered “hey, you okay?”. It was a nice comment but it made Joshua’s skin crawl so he just nodded not trusting himself to speak. 

Once the segment was over everyone headed to their dressing rooms and on the way Mingyu spotted him and shot him a sympathetic smile which Joshua hated. Then as if his anger attracted it Seungkwan appeared and asked “are you alright?”. Joshua took a deep breath and nodded “i’m completely fine” forcing a smile. 

Jeonghan heard it and brushed the comment away and Joshua was relieved until they got back into the dressing room. Jeonghan turned to him and quietly whispered “but you know it’s okay if you’re not fine right?”.

That was it. 

"I'm not upset! I’m fine, more than fine okay! So can everyone stop asking me if I'm okay" he said loudly. He’d meant to sound amused but his voice just sounded strained and upset. He could tell his members didn’t believe him but he didn’t need them to believe him, he just needed some space and they gave it to him. Scoups nodded “okay. Let's all head back home and how about we order some pizzas?". The members all agreed "and can we make some cookie dough?" Vernon called. Mingyu told him he had some at the dorm and they all began planning which pizzas to order and what movie they were going to watch. Joshua felt bad for snapping at them but he knew they wouldn’t hold it against him and as proof they all started chatting to him just like normal. Despite everything Joshua was feeling, it was comforting to feel a part of something without even trying and with his members that’s exactly how he felt.

Jun - Can't smile all-day

Jun was having a pretty good night. His members were making him laugh, he was in a genuine happy mood and he'd even done some flirting. So he was in pretty high spirits and then that all changed when he saw you and Ateez's Wooyoung together. He knew he couldn't expect you to stay single forever and there had been rumours you were dating someone but seeing it in person was a whole other thing. 

He watched as Wooyoung led you over to the bar hand in hand and how you smiled up at him like he was your everything. Jun remembered when you used to look at him like that and he felt sick to his stomach. When Wooyoung wrapped an arm around you and went to kiss you Jun had to look away. 

"Hey you okay?" Joshua asked noticing he'd gone quiet. Jun nodded and his members glanced at him. "Are you sure? You look like you've seen a ghost" Mingyu joked and then The8 hit his arm. They obviously spotted you and Wooyoung at the bar and everyone else soon caught on. Jun sighed and not wanting the sympathetic looks he walked away telling them he needed air. About 10 minutes later The8 appeared "come on we're going". "Going where?" Jun asked. The8 shrugged "anywhere but here". "But everyone likes it here" he argued "we don't have to leave just because..." but The8 cut him off "no we all hate it here. Always have so come on, Scoups is pulling the car up. Dk was thinking we could try that new mini-golf place that opened up, you in?". Jun nodded and walked back to his members who all acted like nothing was wrong but engulfed him into their bulk. Jun loved how they didn’t make him talk about his feelings or explain himself. They just let him be and their presence around him was comfort enough.

Hoshi - Really immature

Dk laughed as Hoshi fouled Yeonjun shamelessly at their Isaac football match only for Scoups to light hit him "stop encouraging him!". "Why he's hilarious!" DK argued pointing to Hoshi gloating across the field. "No he's not he's being petty. Yeonjun is y/n's new boyfriend". Dk frowned for a second before it hit him "owwww that's not good". "You think? So do me a favour and try and stop this before Yeonjun starts retaliating.

The boys tried but Hoshi was on a mission and when he tackled Yeonjun again bringing him down to the ground harshly Yeonjun had enough. He jumped up and turned to face Hoshi "what the hell was that?". “It’s called playing football, ever heard of it?” Hoshi called and the boys started to head towards each other before their members go involved. Mingyu grabbed Hoshi and Soobin Yeonjun. "Look we're really sorry, he's just being an idiot please ignore him!" Scoups called while Jeonghan tried to quiet the yelling Hoshi. Yeonjun shrugged Soobin's arm off him and walked away. "We're really sorry" Wonwoo tried "it's just been hard for him seeing y/n move on". Soobin nodded "I get it and so does Yeonjun, it’s just...he can only be tolerant to a certain level". Scoups nodded "we totally understand it won't happen again". Soobin nodded "okay well no worries" and walked away.

After the event Hoshi felt like an idiot. He went backstage and just hung his head in his hands. Some of the other members tried to comfort him but he just couldn’t believe how he’d acted. When Scoups walked in he practically winced and the room went silent. "If you're here to tell me how stupid I am I am don't bother. I already know" he called. "Well okay then" Scoups nodded. "I knew I was being a dick but I could stop the words coming out" Hoshi sighed "is Yeonjun okay? I thought I was over y/n but I guess not" wiping away a tear. In response his members all rushed to support him no longer angry or annoyed. "Hey it was your first love" The8 reasoned "of course you'd be upset about it. Anyone would be". "Yeah it's completely normal" Vernon nodded "so don't worry about it". Hoshi smiled “thanks guys, are we banned from isaac?”. Scoups laughed “ow yeah but don’t worry, I was going to yell at the ref and get us kicked out anyway” and they all started bonding over their banned status making Hoshi feel less stupid. 

Wonwoo - Makes an effort of showing you he's okay with it even when he's sad

The thing was you were still friends and he still cared about you. After dating for nearly 5 years he knew your family and even still sent them Christmas cards. So he wasn’t going to start treating you badly just because you had a boyfriend.

Wonwoo did freeze when he saw you with Exo’s Lay walking towards him on the street but he wasn’t going to just run away. He wanted to act more maturely so he smiled and caught your eye. “Hi” he called when you reached him “it’s great to see you again. How are you?". You smiled “It’s great to see you too! I'm really well thanks how are you? I heard about your sister graduating, that’s so cool!” you replied. Wonwoo smiled "yes she did so well, we’re all really proud of her! Sorry I should introduce myself to your partner. Hi I'm Wonwoo nice to meet you" he said extending his hand. "Hi I'm Lay" Lay smiled back "I've heard a lot about you". "All good things I hope" Wonwoo joked and Lay assured him it was. You chatted for a whole and Wonwoo made sure to stay happy and calm even though inside he felt like crying. 

After a few minutes you parted way and Wonwoo carried on walking for a while in case you looked back before he ducked into a side street and pulled out his phone. His hands were shaking so much that he struggled dialing the number but finally the line rang and Mingyu picked up. "Wonwoo?" he asked and Wonwoo struggled for words "I just saw y/n and Lay" he said and Mingyu instantly knew what that must've been like. "Are you okay? What happened?". "She was here and we talked...I wanted to introduce myself to show there were no hard feelings towards Lay but it was so hard and now I feel like...". Wonwoo began to breathe heavily and Mingyu told him to breathe and calm down. He stayed on the phone with him for almost an hour and by the end Wonwoo was, if not quite as happy at least calm. He managed to walk away feeling proud with the way he conducted himself and carried on his day.

Woozi - Gets embarrassed

"We have to go" Woozi said ducking down and Seungkwan looked at him "what? We’ve just ordered". Woozi, Vernon and Seungkwan were sat in a restaurant after work and everything had been fine until now.

"I know but we have to go now. Come on leave some money on the table and let's go" Woozi said "please". "Why...ow" Vernon said spotting where you’d just walked in with Nct's Johnny. You were both wearing hats and long coats to disguise yourself but after dating his member for 4 years Vernon could tell it was you. Seungkwan followed his eye and recognised you too. "Woozi we don't have to leave just because y/n came in". "Yes we do. I don’t want to sit here and watch her with her new boyfriend while I'm here all alone. It's pathetic". "No it's not and we don't even know if they're..." Seungkwan trailed off as Johnny leant across the table and kissed you. Vernon stood up suddenly "okay let's go. Seungkwan take Woozi outside I'll go pay the waiter".

Everyone sprang into action and Woozi fled outside. When Vernon appeared he directed them to a restaurant down the street and they walked in there. Once they were seated Woozi sighed "thank you" he said softly, looking down ashamed. Vernon shook his head “you don’t need to thank us but you do need to stop being so hard on yourself. You’re not pathetic because you're not dating anyone. You're more than your partner. You're an amazing producer, singer and performer. You're so talented and an excellent friend so stop being so harsh on yourself, okay?". Woozi usually didn’t take compliments well but Vernon was so serious it shocked him into agreeing. "Okay" he nodded and Vernon nodded "okay...now what should we eat?", leaving Woozi feeling a lot better.

DK - A mess #1

When Dk heard you would be coming to this party with Got7's Jackson he was determined he was going to be the most bubbly happy person at that party. It wasn’t that he wanted to impress your boyfriend at all. More he wanted you to think he was doing amazing and didn’t still cry when a song came on that reminded him of you. So he drank, played games and danced all while smiling widely and laughing anytime something remotely funny happened. Then he saw Jackson dancing with you and it all went downhill.

Cut to one hour later he was lying on the floor of the bathroom crying while Jeonghan held his hand and kept a bucket nearby. "I'm sorry" he repeated for the hundredth fine and for the hundredth time Jeonghan told him it was okay but still the boy couldn’t stop crying. "Dk it's fine okay none of us are mad". "What about Scoups? He told me not to have another drink but I did". Jeonghan shook his head "he’s not angry Dk. We all get it. Seeing your ex does things to you even months or years after seeing them. We’ve all been exactly where you've been!". "You've been in the bathroom at someone else’s house crying and vomiting interchangeably?" DK asked. Jeonghan smiled "how about I tell you my version of this?" and he spent the next half an hour explaining his first heartbreak to Dk and all the embarrassing stuff he did. He’d never told anyone all of this but Dk needed it and he was almost smiling again. Jeonghan knew with time and the support of their members they could get him back to his naturally sunny disposition.

By the end of his story DK was no longer crying so they were off to a good start.  

The8 - Sad but happy for you

The8 watched the video of your dance challenge with Oneus' Seoho and sipped his wine. You looked so in love it hurt but he was happy too. You deserved every ounce of happiness and watching the way Seoho held you so carefully and how his face lit up when the song finished The8 could tell you’d found it. He’d never met Seoho personally but everyone he’d asked said he was a lovely guy which comforted The8 while also leaving him feeling bitter. 

He still remembered where he was when he found out you had a new boyfriend. He’d seen you get into Seoho’s car and he’d been frozen with shock and fear. He’d felt all the normal things, anger, embarrassment, regret and of course sadness. He’d considered texting you to try and win you back or even trying to find ways to make you jealous or upset in return but he rejected them all because he realised you were happy. You’d found the person who could treat you like the goddess you were and all things aside he was pleased for you. 

He must've watched the video over 20 times now but he couldn’t put it away. He felt trapped in his happiness which wasn’t forced but was difficult. if he squinted he could pretend he was the one dancing with you, something you’d done often together and loved. He missed that. Missed holding you in his arms and the touch of your hand in his but you were happier now and that was all that mattered. So he watched the video one final time before closing his laptop and deciding he should go find some happiness too.

Mingyu - Goes out and gets drunk #1

One of the worst things was that you and your new partner had both been so nice about it. You'd broken up with him but it was very amicable and you'd been very respectful to him. When you started dating Exo's Chanyeol you'd told him personally so he didn't have to hear it from anyone else and you'd been nothing but considerate to him. Chanyeol had always been nice to Mingyu and that hadn't changed since he started dating you. All these things probably sound like they should've made it easier but they didn't. 

When Mingyu saw the two of you share a moment at the award show that nobody else noticed he wanted to run away and never come back. Thankfully it was at the end of the night and so when the guys went out for drinks afterwards Mingyu was the first one at the bar. 

He figured if he got a few dozen drinks in him he'd feel better and at first the buzz was good but his members soon realised what was going on. "Hey are you okay?" Hoshi asked as Mingyu sat down with his drink and Mingyu grinned "I'm great! Why?". "Just most of us are on our second drink and that's already your fourth". Mingyu shrugged "so? I'm taller, I need more alcohol". "Jun and Wonwoo are near your height and Jun is on his second and Wonwoo his first". Mingyu shrugged "why are you interrogating me?". "I'm not!" Hoshi assured him "just...you don't need to do this because of y/n and Chanyeol. You're allowed to be sad". Mingyu nodded "I know and thank you for checking on me but right now I just want to feel a little buzz and forget about her for a bit. I won't get into any trouble I promise". Hoshi nodded "don't worry we won't let anything happen to you" and Mingyu suddenly felt a lot more comforted by his friends than by his drink.

Seungkwan - A mess #2  

You hadn't even realised he was there until Beomgyu told you. Seventeen were heading out of their dressing room as TxT and you were going in theirs. The members at the front Huening and Taehyun spotted Seungkwan and froze but Seungkwan's eyes went right past this to you. You and Beomgyu were laughing loudly while he told a story. He had an arm around you and you looked so comfortable together. While Beomgyu glanced up as his members went quiet you were so engrossed in him you didn't look until he nudged you.  When you did spot Seungkwan you paused and then smiled timidly. Beomgyu didn't remove his arm from around you and the two of you nodded and said hello to the group before hurrying past. Seungkwan stared after you until he felt Vernon tug his sleeve "hey are you okay?". He nodded and followed his members on stage but he couldn't get his mind off you. Needless to say when Seungkwan went on stage it didn’t end well and he ended up running off mid-song in a blind panic.

He just couldn’t get over seeing you with Beomgyu and his emotions were everywhere. He was crying while also scolding himself for crying in the dressing room when Scoups and Jeonghan walked in. Seungkwan’s heart was in his throat and he felt himself begin to shake. "Scoups, Jeonghan I'm so sorry! I promise I'll be back for the next song I just needed a second to pull myself together and I...". "Stop!" Jeonghan called "Seungkwan it's okay". "It is?" Seungkwan asked and they both nodded "of course it is, now how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Scoups asked. Seungkwan tried to nod and then burst into tears again. 

His hyungs hugged him and calmed him down. Jeonghan managed to get him to smile again while Scoups talked to the staff and told them Seungkwan wouldn't be working tonight. He knew Seungkwan wouldn't want to go home though so they set him up backstage with water and snacks and came back to him as soon as they could. Then they all went home and ordered Seungkwan's favourite takeaway. They spent the whole night making him feel better and by the morning things did seem a little brighter.

Vernon - Can't stop staring

Enhypen's Jay had noticed a certain member staring at you and he wasn’t happy. Dino noticed and quickly tapped Vernon. "Stop staring at y/n" he whispered in Vernon’s ear. Vernon blinked "was I? I didn't even realise I was going it". "Well Jay did so stop". 

Vernon glanced around and saw your boyfriend indeed was glaring at him. He felt a sharp anger at the look he was sending him. He’d known you longer than Jay so who was he to be so territorial of you? Then he saw Jay put an arm around you and sighed. 

Your boyfriends that’s who.  

Vernon ran a hand through his hair agitatedly "i couldn’t help it i haven’t seen her in so long and she looks so different...she looks happy". Dino nodded hearing the heaviness if Vernon's words. "Don’t worry it's not your fault but how about we change seats?". Vernon nodded and they moved away to another part of the bar where he couldn’t see you. "This is nice, thank you" Vernon said and Dino smiled "anything you need, I'm here for you". Vernon didn’t often get emotional but the maknae’s words did it and he believed him 100%. 

Dino - Goes out and gets drunk 2

Stray Kid′s Felix was not meant to be on the panel. It was supposed to be Bang Chan instead but apparently he’d come down ill and so Felix had stepped in. Joshua had told Dino he didn’t have to do the show if he couldn’t but Dino saw that as running away and he wouldn’t do that. So he decided to stay and the whole thing was the worst experience of his life. Predictably the hosts loved Felix and nearly fell over themselves when they found out he had an Australian accent. Dino remembered you saying you liked the accent too and it made him want to be sick knowing the two of you were now together. So he headed to the nearest bar right after the shoot was over and he’d been there ever since. Joshua had accompanied him and was acting like it was a fun outing but they both knew it wasn’t and if they didn’t, the way Dino was out-drinking Joshua would prove it. 

Dino had told Joshua several times he could leave but he’d assured him he was fine and stayed. He only stepped in when Dino was struggling to walk and took him home. Dino wasn’t happy about it and Joshua had to physically pick him up at some points but he finally got him in the front seat of his car. 

“I’m sorry” Dino and Joshua nodded “...it’s okay, I know you’re hurting”. “I just hated seeing him today and knowing he gets to go home to her and I don’t” Dino said his eyes tearing up. Before he knew it he was crying and Joshua was fumbling around his bag for a tissue. Joshua passed him one and then patted his back “I’m such a loser” Dino sighed but Joshua shook his head “not at all! Dino breakups are hard and they make you emotional but that’s okay. We’re human, it’s good to feel things and you’re so young. I know this might feel like the end of the world but I promise things will get better and you’re going to meet so many amazing people that one day you’ll just look back on this and laugh”. “You promise?” Dino asked and Joshua nodded “I promise”. Dino took a breath and sighed “okay, I believe you”. Joshua smiled “good now how about we go home and order a takeaway? Something tells me you could use something greasy and covered in cheese”. Dino nodded “that sounds amazing, thanks hyung”. Joshua smiled “it’s what i’m here for” and started the car.

I hope this doesn’t need saying but all the situations are of course made up and based on no real opinions or personality traits, it’s just some fun based on how I think the different members might react to this situation.

So my main motivation for this was to create some angsty feelings but also to give some hope! 

I tried to give them all...if not happy, hopeful ending where the boys felt loved or supported in some way because breakups are shit but they’re not the end of the world and you will feel better!

Urban and reader goofing off at at radio station while jack does interviews and people assume she’s dating Urban and it upsets jack

"Urban shush before they kick us out of here." Jack heard you tell Urban followed by a laugh. Jack sat confused his eyebrows furrowed wondering what the two of you were up to. Jack was going to be busy all day with interviews, so he decided to bring Urban and You along to help with the anxiety he got and to help the time go by faster, but he was now regretting it.

"Who are they? Are they dating if they are they really are the cutest couple? Look how he smiles at her that is everything." Keshia one of the radio hosts said while setting up everything before going on air.

"They really are I would die to have a man look at me like that again it's been forever. They truly fit one another." Kehlani another one of the radio hosts commented onto Keshia's comment about Urban and You. Jack was upset and annoyed to say the least because you are his girl, but he knew you guys wanted to keep things a secret, so he had to fight the urge to not tell Keshia and Kehlani that you were his girl.

Jack glanced at Urban and You a few times watching how Urban would record you and show you the video he took making you laugh and throw your head back. What made Jack hit his limit was when you rested your head on Urban's shoulder. He knew you meant no harm behind it, but his jealousy got the best of him.

Once he was done with the show you went to give him a hug and a kiss, but he shrugged you off leaving you with a frown and a confused look on your face.

"What's his problem? He was fine when we came in here." You asked Neelam who sighed grabbing your hand and leading you outside with her, not wanting everyone to hear your business.

"The radio host mentioned how cute Urban, and You looked together, and it upset Jack that's probably the reason why he just stormed past you, also he saw that you rested your head on Urban's shoulder. It's not a big deal but to Jack it is." Neelam told you before rubbing your shoulder and going back over to Dj Drama to discuss what plans they had tomorrow for Jack. You mentally sighed now feeling like the bad guy.

After walking around the radio station for a bit you finally found your curled haired boyfriend.

"Jack baby are you okay?" You asked him and grabbed onto his hand, but he turned away from you a pout evident on his face. He refused to look at you or give in to you.

"Oh, so you're really mad at me right now? Neelam told me why you're upset and I'm sorry. You know you're the only one I want and besides you know Urban and me act like fools once together." You told Jack he rolled his eyes but nodded his head a sign he agreed with that Urban was definitely the reason as to why you acted so wild at times.

"Well, I guess if you don't want to talk to me, I guess that new set of lingerie I bought last night won't get shown off to you and that sucks because it was purple to. Your favorite color." You song sang and sure enough you felt Jack's hands grab your face softly before pulling you in for a kiss.

"I'm sorry baby girl you just know I get possessive at times and can't help it, but it got me thinking. I want to go public with our relationship only if you want." Jack told you he bit his lip nervously not really sure of your answer till he grinned seeing the smile on your face.

"I'd love that, Jack." And with that Jack posted a selfie of the two of you and captioning it.

"My girl" and in seconds you both were the trending news on twitter but the two of you couldn't be any happier no longer having to hide.

Early MCYTblr Interviews: fraseris

today's interviewee is fraseris/dukeborninfebruary, who ran the quack-ity "kinnie" blog, started the hermitblr "geckohc" tag, and has been in MCYTblr from the beginning! below are the questions and answers.

Q. What was your overall experience in early MCYTblr?

A. i had a great time honestly. it was such a hyperactive fandom because there were new hours of content daily, and like a lot of others i was doing pandemic school which meant basically doing nothing all day. this feels strange to say now that the world is pretending to be back to normal, but this whole online world was basically my life for an entire school year. and i think we were using the content and fanspace to ignore reality as hard as possible, because shit sucked severely. so everybody was very deeply invested and dedicated in a way that you just can't have anymore. and at least before the exile arc, when the fandom really blew up (esp i think on stan twitter) it was a relatively small fandom. when things got on trending we celebrated. so it was a really well connected space and we had a lot of fun with our mutual obsessions. ive never been in a fandom like that before and i probably never will be again

Q. If my memory serves, you ran the "kinnie" imposter blog quack-ity. What was that experience like?

A. well, i was not good at impersonating quackity at all. which made it harder to actually scare people and funnier when I actually did freak out a few. a friend who i met in sleepyheads told me that things had been too quiet since tubblr and velvetiscake so i just kinda did it. i stayed up until like 4 am two nights in a row before i gave up. it was really fun watching sleepyheads try to figure it out. someone in there did decide it was me and eventually i had to admit that they were right. i could've been more strategic but i didnt care all that much and i did break a record for hours without revealing myself!! but then zonebur broke that. ive always credited myself with reviving the art of kinnie blogs after like a month of silence, because after quack-ity there was zonebur and the niki blog and many others. i tried a ranboo imposter blog but nobody cared because this was a few weeks before he joined the dream smp. i also had another quackity imposter blog but by then it was too late and people were bored with us

Q. As I remember, you were the first blog to receive the "gay kroger anon" copypasta. What do you remember about that phenomena?

A. well, i was not good at impersonating quackity at all. which made it harder to actually scare people and funnier when I actually did freak out a few. a friend who i met in sleepyheads told me that things had been too quiet since tubblr and velvetiscake so i just kinda did it. i stayed up until like 4 am two nights in a row before i gave up. it was really fun watching sleepyheads try to figure it out. someone in there did decide it was me and eventually i had to admit that they were right. i could've been more strategic but i didnt care all that much and i did break a record for hours without revealing myself!! but then zonebur broke that. ive always credited myself with reviving the art of kinnie blogs after like a month of silence, because after quack-ity there was zonebur and the niki blog and many others. i tried a ranboo imposter blog but nobody cared because this was a few weeks before he joined the dream smp. i also had another quackity imposter blog but by then it was too late and people were bored with us

Q. What are some common criticisms of creators that you remember from 2020-2021?

A. i remember when i first joined the tumblr fandom (august 2020) there was a lot of controversy surrounding dream. this was before all his infamous no-pr-team social media outbursts, and the speedrun cheating allegations, and him legitimately grooming kids. honestly I didn't understand what he had actually done back then and i dont really know now. my best guess is that it was the dream team crit people's theories leaking out. it was always just a general "dream is racist" with no real evidence, at least that i saw. because of that the dream smp and fandom was disliked even before the growth in dec 2020, when people really started hating it. looking back i think a lot of that criticism and those rumors were true but at the time I didn't care and definitely felt uncomfortable criticizing friends of My Streamers theres also the sleepy bois callout. that seriously rocked the boat because this was basically the height of their viewcounts (jan ? 2021?) like tommy was getting over 100k viewers every stream and wilbur was getting almost as many. the eventual consensus from sleepyblr as i saw it was that this was all too old to be legitimate grounds for "cancelling." then there were some apologies, i think, and people were pissed at techno for never even acknowledging any of it. but I don't think it really effected their following. the people who liked them and wanted to watch them kept watching them. and in the end that callout didn't even scratch the surface of what wilbur had done. i will say that the main crit of tommy was that he was being negatively influenced by the adults around him and he "needs to be saved from them" or something like that. which unfortunately rings true in the wake of his statement and lack thereof about wilburs' serial abuse of younger people. its depressing to look back on because of that and also because of techno's death. at the time it really showed how people (myself included) attached their own worth to streamers' presence and the parasocial relationship between them. the amount of guilt and panic i saw was crazy

ALSO! when callmecarson was publicly outed as a groomer in jan 2021. that didn't make nearly as much controversy in the dream smp fandom as the other callouts, but at least in the spaces i was a part of like gay castle and associates there were a lot of people who had been smplive fans in the years before. at least two other creators from smplive had similarly been outed before, so it wasn't the first time, but caron definitely caused the remaining fandom to deteriorate. it also put lunch club's life and death in such a negative light and ruined it for a lot of people, because we had never understood the full story before

there was also the drama surrounding jawsh and noah hugbox. there was always negativity about stans (meaning the twitter fanbase) in the smplive world and jawsh started controversy by tweeting negatively about them and about dream. hugbox and him both brought in a sort of redditor anti-sjw vibe to the debate and mostly argued with dream on twitter because dream was always a huge supporter of stan culture and one of those people who told their chat "i love you" all the time, so they really disliked him. of course he acted just as ridiculous as them. this whole thing is where the original "dont stop the party" video came from. a lot of people on tumblr found the whole thing silly but there were also some people as offended and opinionated as most of twitter, who straight up cancelled josh and noah. one of my dearest mcytblr memories is my friends and i staying up late and laughing at noah hugbox's joker act together

the most general criticism of all of these streamers was that they promoted unhealthy parasocial relationships. that mindset was mostly in the crit spaces before the fandom really grew in december, but it became a big deal in the philosophy of the fandom. I'd been complaining about parasocial relationships for a while, but more on the side of viewers than streamers, and i was pissed off when the larger fandom turned it into a nothing-word. i also remember people disliking tubbos politics because he was basically centrist & confused with a touch of young tory ignorance. but myself and my friends and the people i followed were overwhelming uncritical of everyone

Q. As I remember it, you were also a fan of smplive. How do you think the two fandoms interacted/influenced each other?

A. (apologies to people who were actually active participants in smpblr if this isnt comprehensive.) smpblr was very anti-stan, anti-rpf, and so it was really at odds with smptwt where the exact opposite was true. the smp-boundaries account is a consequence of this. people would follow those posts like law and if you broke a boundary and didnt apologize well enough you would be ostracized. maybe this discourse wasnt so central to the fandom during the height of smplive, but by the time i was lurking in later 2019 it seemed to be the main topic of discussion. i think that this mindset really informed sections of the early dream smp fandom, but most people in 2020 stuck somewhere between the two extremes. the transition between the casual real life streaming on smplive and the character roleplay on the dream smp was definitely rough. i don't think there was ever a time when the true boundaries of what was and was not acceptable to discuss or create were set. generally you could treat the characters like characters and make art and write about them, but you could get in trouble with some people for depicting gore or anything sexual including sexual orientation or transness. and some spaces accepted rpf while others hated it with a burning passion. the fandom mellowed out over time and the characters were accepted fully as their own characters, but at least as i saw it took a while

Q. What do you remember about "smprompa"?

A. for a long time smprompa was a white whale. i led a short crusade trying to find it and had some genuinely great finds submitted by anons (i believe under the tag 'hunt for smprompa' or 'search for smprompa' or something on my blog.) but we didnt get anywhere close to the full text. it was a cultural artifact that i dont think many of us approved of, but we wanted it because of its significance to the smplive fandom and creators. when it was discovered by gay castle folks my mind was a little blown
