honestly the way people are so weird abt horde catradora would be funny if it wasnt so absolutely awful. you see a situation where one girls safety is completely dependent on the other one liking her enough to be used as a bargaining chip and think she's the one that has power in that relationship? you think she's the one who's a danger to the other? ok. cool! :|
#obv im talking abt c/a antis mainly here but. idk it applies to people who like catradora too honestly. they're pretty weird abt the horde-#-period. like making it seem like they were always/mostly happy and healthy b4 the sword is a little weird since we SEE their horde dynamic#they obviously enjoy each others company and care for each other but. bc of their fundamental misunderstanding atp they cant be what each-#other wants/needs catra doesnt understand why adora is Like That and gets upset at adora bc she thinks adora getting unfair privilege AGAIN#-and shes RIGHT. but neither her or adora rly grasp that this isn't actly a good thing. so catras jabs r gg to hurt adora who believes shes#-actly HELPING catra. and even ignoring that she *blames catra for SW's abuse*. she still doesn't really try to understand why catra is mad#-at all. (its bc adora is getting unfair advantages over her. again.) < which ofc adora doesn't acknowledge. she cant! not without breaking#-the idea that she CAN protect catra from SW. that the horde is fair and good. so ofc she brushes catras hurt aside to make it abt herself.#and from the way they both seem. used to this dynamic. were meant to get that this is what its always like right.#them blaming each other for things they cant rly control. etc etc.#but. idk. theres a tendency in post series content to erase that adora actually harms catra quite a lot.#and they either make it seem like Nothing Was Wrong in the horde btwn them or that somehow catra had the upper hand in the relationship.#which. again. the point of the post.#ok wow i shld never talk again what is all this#spop#ughhhh

series masterlist
———————————————————
November 4, 2022
You put on your red oversized University of Arizona sweatshirt and went out to the kitchen to make your morning cup of coffee.
You have the day off of work today, so you figured you would stay home and do some cleaning. Joe had some of his teammates over after practice a couple days ago and the apartment was still a mess.
You cant even remember the last time this place was properly cleaned. Gross.
You pulled a coffee cup from off the rack next to the coffee maker. You put the cup underneath it and prepared the coffee grounds. As the coffee started to drip into the cup, the bathroom door swung open and Joe walked out, clad in his black gym shorts with a tucked in black long sleeve that had the bengals logo just above his left pec. Towel in hand, he walked down the hall towards your bedroom. Well he wasn't going into your room, right across from your bedroom was the laundry room. He threw the towel into the laundry basket designated for towels and walked back into the kitchen.
Joe smiled at you as he walked into the kitchen, "Morning Y/n."
You smiled up at him as you grabbed the coffee creamer, "Good morning Joe."
He opened the fridge and pulled out the egg carton, a diced green bell pepper, chunks of ham, and shredded cheddar cheese. As he put the ingredients on the counter he spoke, "How'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good," you said with a nod, "you?"
"Good until my alarm went off," he replied, chuckling lightly.
"You didn't want to work out at five A-M with Ja'Marr this morning?" you asked with raised eyebrows and a smirk.
"It was actually seven this morning."
"Oh, wow seven?"
Joe nodded as he walked over to the stove and got a skillet out.
"Can't believe he let you sleep in?" you said, shaking your head, "Usually he's pounding on the door if you're not out by five."
Joe and Ja'Marr have a very weird work out schedule. Some days they're up before the sunrise, working out for almost two hours before their all day practice. Other days they're up at a more reasonable time, working out for longer.
Joe chuckled, "He was feeling extra nice this morning I guess."
You smiled and let out a laugh, "Yeah, I guess so."
You went back to preparing your coffee as Joe started making his breakfast. As he was whisking the eggs together, he turned to you as you put the coffee creamer away.
"You want any eggs?"
You shook your head. "I'll stick to my coffee for now. But thanks."
He nodded and turned his attention back to making his breakfast. You stood in the kitchen, sipping your coffee and watching Joe make his eggs. He grabbed a plate from the cabinet above him and set it down on the counter, sprinkling cheese over the eggs and letting it melt before he put a large portion on the plate. He turned the stove off and grabbed a fork, setting it on his plate. He walked into the small dining room that was just off to the side of the living room. You followed him, deciding to keep him company as he ate his breakfast.
You and Joe have actually started to get along. You think it's safe to say you’re actually becoming quite good friends. You have learned a lot about Joe and you’ve realized he isn't as bad as you thought he was when you first moved in with him. It's easy to see why every girl loves him.
He's a really nice guy, he's extremely humble, and he has a great sense of humor. And you have to admit, he's not bad looking, at all. He's actually very attractive...
But, you don't have a crush on him, you swear. You’re really happy with how things are going with Evan. The two of you have agreed to take things slow and not rush into anything. Both of you have talked about a possible relationship, but for now you’re just happy with each others company.
You sat down on the chair across from Joe, setting your coffee cup down in front of you. The two of you sat in silence as Joe ate his breakfast. You grabbed your cup and took a sip of your coffee. As you sat the cup down on the table, your stomach let out a loud growl. You clutched your stomach, making Joe chuckle. He stood from his chair and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a plate and filling it with eggs. He grabbed a fork from the silverware drawer and walked back out to the dining room. He set the plate down in front of you.
"Here. Can't go to work on an empty stomach."
You looked up at him, feeling just the slightest hint of butterflies from his kind action. He smiled down at you before walking back over to his side of the table and sitting back down.
You smiled, "Thank you, Joe. I don't have work today though."
He shrugged, "Doesn't mean you can't eat breakfast."
You and Joe made small talk as you ate your breakfast. You have to admit, Joe is a great cook. You don't know what he did to those eggs, but they were delicious.
You and Joe got up from the table and went in to the kitchen to clean your plates off. As you set your plate in the dishwasher, your phone went off. You pulled it out of your leggings and smiled when you saw it was a text from Evan. Your eyes scanned the chat he sent you, your face instantly turning red as you read the words. Joe closed the dishwasher and looked at you as you smiled down at your phone, thumbs quickly typing away.
"What's got you so flustered?" Joe chuckled, running a hand through his damp blonde hair.
You shook your head, "Nothing that concerns you."
Joe clenched his jaw and nodded slowly, "Sooo, it has nothing to do with shooter?"
You furrowed your brows in confusion, "Shooter?"
"Evan."
You shrugged, picking up your coffee cup and taking a sip of the hot liquid before you replied. "Maybe."
Joe crossed his arms and just looked at you with a deadpan gaze and clenched jaw. It almost seemed like he was jealous?
"What?" you laughed, "would it be a such a big deal if it has to do with him?"
Joe scoffed and let out a laugh of disbelieve, "Yeah it would."
"Oh come on, no it wouldn't."
"Yes it would."
You rolled your eyes, "Fine. Why would it be such a big deal?"
"Because he's my teammate, Y/n! I told you early on that my teammates are off limits."
Oh.
You forgot all about that chat the two of you had after you met Logan and Ja'Marr that first week. After the guys left you mentioned something about thinking Ja'Marr was hot and Joe gave you this whole spiel about how his teammates were "off limits for you to hit on". You told him you understood because you truly did see where he was coming from. Coming home to see your roommate making out with your teammate would be extremely awkward.
But it's not going to stop you from talking to Evan. You care about what Joe thinks, but at the same time, you want to be happy here in Cincinnati. And you know Evan can make you really happy.
"I never said I was going out with him." you said, shrugging your shoulders, "we're simply just talking to each other."
Joe rolled his eyes, "Oh don't bullshit me Y/n."
"Excuse you?"
Joe scoffed, "I'm not an idiot, sweetheart."
"Don't call me that. I have a name."
"Fine. I'm not an idiot, Y/n."
You crossed your arms and kept your jaw clenched as Joe spoke.
"I think you're forgetting that Evan is my friend and my teammate. I see him basically every day of the week. I hear the things he says about you, Y/n. I see the posts on your stories, I hear about the text messages, I know about everything, You're not just talking to him! And I specifically told you not to get with any of my teammates. And what did you do? You got with one of my teammates!"
"You are unbelievable."
"Oh I am?"
You scoffed and let out a laugh of shock, "Yeah, yeah you are! It's none of your business who I date or who I talk to. You don't control me, Joe."
He ran his hands through his hair and sighed, "I never said I did!"
"It shouldn't matter to you if I date Evan or not! Don't you want him to be happy?"
Joe stayed silent, clenching his jaw as you spoke. You rolled your eyes and shook your head in annoyance. He was being so unreasonable.
You decided to hit him where it hurts.
"And," you continued, "It's not like i'm going to bring him over here all the time and have sex with him when you're here if that's what you're so worried about!? Because unlike you I have respect for my roommate."
Yep. You’re referring to that time when you walked into the apartment and saw Joe hooking up with a girl on your couch.
He rolled his eyes, "Oh my god," he mumbled under his breath, "that was one time!"
"Yeah, one time too many!"
Joe shook his head and huffed out a sigh of annoyance. He looked at me and crossed his arms, the look on his face was extremely hard to read. He seemed annoyed, but almost disappointed, too.
"You know what Y/n? Fine, you win. You wanna date Evan, go right ahead. I thought maybe you'd respect my wishes, but clearly I was wrong. Wrong about you."
You felt your heart drop to the pit of your stomach. All of your anger towards Joe turned into confusion. What does he mean wrong about you?
"Joe, I-."
He shook his head, "Save it."
"Joe, just let me explain-."
"Just get out!"
You furrowed your brows in confusion, looking up at him with concern. You gulped as you struggled to find the right words to say to him. You opened your mouth slightly, trying to think of what to say. You struggled to form a sentence as tears began to well up in your eyes. You were so confused. Where was this coming from?
"Go be with Evan or some other guy on my team. Clearly they're all pretty important to you."
You shook your head, trying to hold back tears. You grabbed your phone and stormed out of the kitchen. You quickly slid your tennis shoes on and grabbed your car keys. You needed to get away from here for a bit. You were hurt and extremely confused. Joe has never spoken to you like this before.
And here you thought the two of you were starting to actually become friends. Clearly you were wrong.
You grabbed your keys and as you opened the door to leave, you turned to face Joe who was still standing in the kitchen with crossed arms and a clenched jaw.
"Screw you." you said to him, rolling your eyes and slamming the apartment door behind you.
~time skip~
"Maybe I'm just being dramatic, but I don't get it. This came out of nowhere?!" you exclaimed, throwing your hands up in the air as you ranted to Macee, who was folding and displaying new t-shirts.
After storming out of the apartment, you decided to drive downtown to CincyStyles to talk to Macee. You knew she'd be able to give you some advice and talk you through the situation with Joe.
Macee frowned. She knew why Joe was being harsh, but she knew she couldn't say anything.
"I'm sorry hun," she said, reaching out to place a hand on your shoulder, "he shouldn't have made such a big deal over something so small. So what if you date one of his teammates? He should be happy! You're a wonderful girl, any of those guys would be lucky to have you."
You smiled, "Thank you Macee. I guess I see where he's coming from. I did promise him I wouldn't go out with any of his teammates."
"Well I mean, technically you haven't gone out with any of them, right?"
You shook my head, "No."
Macee smiled softly, "See? He's just being dramatic then. You didn't go against your word."
You grimaced slightly, thinking about how to break the news to Macee. You did go against your word to Joe...
"I'm going on a date tonight. With Evan." you said, pulling your lips into a straight line. Macee's eyes widened as her mouth fell open in shock.
"Like a date, date? Not just a get together at the gym and work out kind of thing?"
"Yeah, like a date, date."
"Y/n," she beamed, "that's awesome! Aren't you excited?"
You were very excited for your date with Evan, yes. But after the argument with Joe this morning, something just feels off. You almost feel a little guilty? You get butterflies just thinking about your date with Evan, but, you have this other feeling that you can't quite explain. You feel guilty for going out with Evan, but you don't why.
You know you shouldn't feel guilty, but you do.
You shook your thoughts away and smiled, feeling your cheeks burn at the thought of your date later, "I'm really excited. Evan is such a great guy."
"He is, isn't he?" Macee asked, a sweet smile on her face. She walked over to the rack of jeans, re-organizing the sizes as she continued speaking, "You didn't hear this from me but," she paused, looking over at you with a playful smirk on her face, "Evan's got a pretty big crush on you."
"Yeah, he does."
You turned around at the new voice that had joined in on the conversation.
"Hey Alisa!" Macee said with a smile as she hugged the brunette woman.
"Hey! Trey and I were out, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi." The woman, Alisa, said. She turned to you with a kind smile.
"You must be Y/n?"
You nodded, smiling at her. She held her right hand out and you shook it, the two of you introducing yourselves.
"I'm Alisa, Trey's wife. You're Evan's girlfriend right?”
Your eyes widened. You were not expecting that.
"Oh, uh," you let out an awkward laugh, "No, we're not dating."
She covered her mouth with her hands, pulling them away to say, "I am so sorry."
"You're okay, don't worry about it," you smiled, "you're technically not wrong. We aren't official yet, but he and I have been seeing each other, I guess?" you said with a hesitant tone.
You don't really know what you and Evan are. You guess that's why you’re going on a date tonight. To figure out what label to put on your relationship.
She smiled, "Evan is a sweet guy and I've heard he has nothing but good things to say about you, Y/n."
You blushed as Alisa said that. You have nothing but good things to say about him, too. Macee, Alisa and you continued to talk for a bit until Alisa decided to meet back up with Trey. You said goodbye and you and Alisa exchanged phone numbers. It was good to have another friend here in Cincinnati.
Once Alisa left, Macee decided to close the boutique for the night.
You furrowed your brow in confusion. We never close early, especially on a Friday.
"Why are you closing up?
Macee smirked, "Because you Miss Y/l/n, have a date to get ready for," she grabbed your hand, "so come on. I'm going to help you get ready."
meanwhile
Joe's pov:
God you're such an idiot, Joe. I thought to myself as I let out a heavy sigh.
I really didn't mean to start some stupid argument with Y/n. I just let my jealousy get the best of me.
I want her to be happy, I really do, but not with one of my teammates. Hopefully you all don't think I'm crazy and you can see where I'm coming from when I told her my teammates are off limits.
I just don't want things to be awkward. I don't want to come home one night and find my roommate on the couch with one of my best friends. Am I so crazy for NOT wanting that to happen?
I walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. I couldn't shake the guilt that was building up inside me. My mind wandered to the moment before Y/n walked out. It broke my heart to see her upset. Especially since I was the one that caused it. I said things to her that I shouldn't have said. I wish there was something I could do to make it up to her.
I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out and cursed to myself as I saw it was Ja'Marr. (Ja'marr is in bold, Joe is in italics).
Hey Ja-
Burrow, where the fuck you at man?
What?
I'm at Hubbards, we're waitin' on your ass to get here
Shit, *sigh* I totally forgot that was today
Man how the hell did you forget?
I'm sorry! My mind has just been elsewhere today.  Y/n and I got into a fight and-
Oooh, trouble in paradise
Oh, shut up.
*laughter* I'm just messin' with you man. What'd you get in an argument over?
It doesn't matter
Uh huh.
Look, I need to come up with a way to make it up to Y/n
That bad huh?
Yeah.
Hold on *silence* Hey Joe!
Hey Emma
Ja'Marr said you needed my help with Y/n. 
What do girls like as an “I'm sorry gift"? I’ve never fucked up this bad before, Em.
Well, anytime Sam and I argue we usually just have make-up sex and then -
Yeah nope.
*laugh* You didn't let me finish. Sam will get my favorite takeout and we stay up late watching our favorite movies. That always gets me to forgive him, maybe you should try that with Y/n?
Yeah, I think I can do that. Thanks for the help, Em.
Anytime, Joey. Good luck!
Thanks.
*silence* Aight Joey B, you comin' with us or...?
No, I've got a movie night.
With?
Who do you think?
Lucky you. *smirk* Don't tell shooter
*Eyeroll* Whatever. Well, I gotta go. You and Sam have fun, but not too much fun.
I should be saying that to you. We don't need Joe and Y/n babies .
Good lord...see ya Ja'Marr.
Bye Burrow, be safe while you fuc-
I ended the call and put my phone down on the couch with a sigh. My mind wandered to Y/n. It's been a couple hours since she left. I knew she had to come back at some point, but I wasn't sure when. I wanted the takeout and movies to be ready when she got here, so I figured I should get everything prepared now.
I remembered Y/n telling me that her favorite takeout is bar food, so I ordered a variety of appetizers from my favorite bar in downtown Cincinnati. I'm confident that she will like it as much as I do.
As for the movie, I rented her favorite: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. RomComs aren't my favorite, but I'm willing to watch it with Y/n if it makes her happy.
I don't ever get nervous. I like to think I'm a very confident person. Right now though, I am very nervous just thinking about Y/n coming back. I never get this way, about anyone. It feels foreign to me.
But now, all I have to do is wait and hope Y/n will forgive me.
Wish me luck.
~time skip~
Joe's Pov:
I was sitting on the couch fiddling with my thumbs when I heard the apartment door open. I stood from from my spot, gulping when I saw Y/n.
She was wearing black leather pants with a red tank top. Her lips matched her shirt, and her curled black lashes made her Y/e/c eyes pop. Her Y/h/c hair was softly curled, framing her face perfectly.
She looked absolutely beautiful.
No, NO. You cant think like that. I scolded myself internally. I sucked in a breath and stood from the couch, giving her a soft smile as I looked at her.
"Hi."
She smiled, "Hey."
"I uh," I cleared my throat, knowing that my cheeks were now slightly flushed, “you look nice."
"Thanks Joe."
I nodded. It was somewhat tense as Y/n and I just stood looking at each other.
"I'm sor-."
"About earl-."
I chuckled as she let out a laugh.
"You go first." She said, gesturing to me.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I overreacted and was a complete dick. I'm really sorry, Y/n." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly as I continued, "I uh, I rented some movies. You're more than welcome to join me, if you don't have other plans."
Y/n frowned, "I have a date Joe, I'm sorry. I just stopped by so I could grab my heels."
I felt my heart drop. I tried my best to hide my faltering smile at the news.
She was going out with Evan.
“No, no that’s okay,” I shrugged, “I was going to watch movies with Ja’Marr anyway so…”
She smiled softly and nodded, “Well, have fun.” She walked past me and to her room, grabbing her shoes and then walking out of the apartment.
“Yeah, you too…” I frowned, disappointment evident in my tone.
I could tell she was still upset about earlier by the way she was quick to leave the apartment. I sat down on the couch, exiting the page that had How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days open. Y/n didn’t even notice the movie on the TV or her favorite takeout sitting on the counter with a note.
So much for my movie night and takeout apology.
hey loves!!
i apologize for how long this chapter is, i got a bit carried away lol
poor joe, right? he’s trying so hard :(

so here are some thoughts about DMD Friendship the Reality while we are nearing the end
yeah yeah its not that deep but actually no one caring/talking about a show makes me want to write a LONG ASS POST bc i cant get gratification from going through the tags and reading opinions lmaoooooo so HERE damn okkk i will make the content i want to see in the world i guess dont mind me......😞
im not even the biggest Domundi fan but i was intrigued by the premise of this show. i mean it's a basically fake dating show (like one of their challenge rewards was getting to sleep in a suite together as if they are there to date for real) and the end prize isnt just an acting opportunity as it comes w the big decision of choosing a looooooong time acting partner. so i wanted to see how they would do it. BOC did a similar thing w The Hidden Character which i dropped halfway in bc it was too long and i found the challenges to be irrelevant to the ending goal. this show is the opposite of that and thats why ive been enjoying it.
Tumblr media
it is edited to be concise (only 5 eps) and honestly, is quite tranquil. all the challenges were about things they will be required to do in the future as DMD actors/idols and stakes aren't even that high. You could always guess who would win before they even started (((like of course broody model guys won the photoshoot challenge and guy w two series under his belt won the acting one, DUH))) but it was still enjoyable to watch. show's goal isn't to generate tension and competitiveness. it is more of a workshop/chemistry building camp and also a way to introduce the new generation and get the fans warm up/attached to them.
as i spent time in bl fandom sphere, i've come to realize introducing a new gen is tricky. i thought everyone would be ecstatic to see new blood and a lil bit of mix and match but BL fans are reaaaaaaaaaaally attached to their faves and generally see newcomers as threats who will take opportunities from their already neglected (!) precious babies (e.g. just couple weeks ago FortPeat fans were protesting the new lesbian side couple in the upcoming show for stealing screen time from their faves, which is a joke in itself). this kind of show is genius way to get people to warm up to idea of new faces. at the end of the the day, these fans' weakness is two beautiful boys indulging in sweet moments they can be delulu over and considering how ships were already born from the first episode, DMD FTR succeeded in their goal.
LETS TALK ABOUT THE BOYS :-) *this starts playing*
Tumblr media
I had to make this during first ep bc they are all dark haired boys w similar builds so I kept confusing them lmaoooooo (Tle not pictured as he joined later)
i will firstly talk about the fan favorite possible "couples";
KengNamping, the quiet visual couple and yes I love em!!!! they were kinda the only "conflict" in this very conflict free competition.
is Keng the CALMEST person I've ever seen? Latte is laid back too but Keng is just seems zen. sometimes (in the face of conflict) he just seemed hard to read but mostly he has such a calming presence. honestly, he should open an ASMR channel if this acting gig doesn't work out.
Namping also comes off very warm and graceful. him being "wow I'm finally in the winner suite" to Keng after finally getting chosen in ep4 made me laugh like DAMN he really was offended by what happened in ep1 and kept letting it slip. Idc, you are so right my prince and don't ever let Keng forget what he did to you...
when it comes to the possibility of them as a couple: i am kinda here for it while also not knowing if i actually believe in their "moments" in the show? Namping definitely set his sights on him from the beginning but Keng seemed nonchalant about it. Keng finally choosing Namping after his win, their sweet moment on the bed etc. seemed to me like classic reality show moment prompted by production to fit a certain narrative WHILE ThomasKong's pseudo-date-night chats seemed very real and spontaneous.
they do visually have chemistry, i'm not gonna act like i wasn't blushing when Keng trying to flirt during dinner or Namping softly touching a sleepy Keng's chin in the bed etc. Or even in ep2, when Namping tries to confront Keng about his pick but they are too timid and just unable to talk about it openly!!! arrghhh it's a hard to watch moment but still, made them more intriguing because they had such a tension between them. it would be a shame if it wasn't explored more. that tension can be channeled into an angsty series, just saying...
So, they def have a long way to go in their bond and arent comfortable like LatteFirst or ThomasKong but still, they are a strong contender and I would be glad to see them as a couple in a show. Namping already got my attention in the acting challenge and wonders can be achieved w a lil bit of workshop. they got the juice already!!!
Now, lets talk about ThomasKong.............
Tumblr media
me watching Thomas relentlessly chatting Kong up since THE FIRST EPISODE
so I knew LatteFirst are set be a side couple in upcoming Love Upon a Time but i was confused to see why everyone on Twitter was already going cuckoo over these two random boys until i saw them interacting... Wow, like Thomas really came here w one mission: get Kong and leave.
because Thomas is such a flirt like DAMNNN😳😳😳😳he needs to be jailed for carrying lethal amounts of charm... IT MUST BE SAID: I love his fits w those thin glasses, he should've been wearing those in those office BLs he was in because he has been serving "office siren". Tiktok girlies eat your heart out.
while Kong isn't the best at acting or singing (he is the best KengNamping shipper tho and i LOVE a fudanshi BL actor), he definitely would win Mr. Congeniality if they were giving that title. he naturally and effortlessly has great on screen charisma. he is a certified cutie and the only one who can get real full belly laughs from Thomas!!!
i think what they managed in the acting challenge is the testament to their palpable chemistry. acting wise they weren't perfect (naturally, their uneven acting experience levels were apparent) but they were the only one who managed to tonal shift in their scenes. it's because they were the only ones who played into the romantic subtext of the scene. they also held eye contact for the longest (because they are comfortable w each other and not shy!!!), which elevated their chemistry and made me AND the judges giggle and roll our hair and kick our feet and shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are obviously the most likely to win the show and they deserve it too. no matter the result of the show, i want see them carrying a series as mains because they can and should. i also believe DMD won't fumble their bag, so i am not worried about it.
to conclude, I will quote Zee,
Tumblr media
then we come to LatteFirst, the kinda established couple: in the ep5 preview, we see First trying to choose between Latte and the newcomer Tle, which seemed random to me and could be a production touch to create conflict in this very smooth sailing show.
i loved seeing Latte being nonchalant about the possibility of First choosing someone else, what a laid back guy. like Mio in THC, every BL reality show needs a half asleep and occasionally funny dude.
now i am thinking; what if First chose Tle, would he also replace Latte in LUAT bc DMD doesn't really fuck w mixing matching their couples. i honestly don't know where did all that come from but i feel like the result wont be too shocking, First and Latte are already really close and comfortable and got The Chemistry. need i remind of Latte punching the air a la Judd Nelson at the end of The Breakfast Club when it was announced they both chose each other for the dinner date? and their sweet and comfortable banter on that said date??? let's put our pens to work and write a friends to lovers rom-com for the boys based on that material please...
i dont think they are likely to win but might be strong contender. i just want to see them as a side couple in LUAT (hopefully this year!!!!) so they can develop themselves and their bond a little bit more before getting to a main couple level. their sweet friendship shouldn't go to waste!!! (is it obvious i am more drawn to BL couples who are besties in real life?)
Tumblr media
damn this post is about to be a novella so i will make it short about Gems, TeeTee and Tle, i hope Gems won't be too upset about getting slighted again 😥 like i said, stakes aren't high on this show and results are always obvious: these guys are going back home empty handed, we all know it. they are all charismatic and VERYYY talented but i just felt like none of them really focused on "getting a partner" part of the show, not just the main challenges. even TeeTee who was picked by Thomas and Keng seemed kinda uninterested about partnering up. but you cant really force chemistry and i am sure they will get many more opportunities in the future. they already started their fanbase!!! i cant stand to see Gems so upset, i hope he wont be too sad.
these are my opinions. maybe the ending will do a whole 180 and idk, GemsKeng or TleKong or some other random couple will win, who knows???? cant wait to watch the new overly airbrush filtered, Cheewin directed DMD show up to like 5 episodes and then get bored and drop it and follow the rest from gifs!!! good luck to the boys <3

solo trip, part four
Tumblr media
part one, part two, part three idol bang chan x gn!reader words: 3.9k warnings: none really. some angst, sweet ending summary: strangers to friends to more than friends. reader finds out their partner cheated on them while traveling alone, chan helps them forget. note: wow i really took a month to write this...should i keep going? i still cannot thank everyone enough for reading this series, love u all so much thank u for bearing with me <3 please look forward to the next series i have planned, and of course requests are open if anyone has ideas for me! thank u thank u
after chan had left, leaving you with a kiss to your hand, you were left alone in your hotel room wishing the moment had lasted longer. you wished you could see his face for just one more second. each detail was seared into your brain, but you replayed every second as you got ready to sleep so the memories wouldn't fade.  his beautiful smile was the one thing you kept imagining. the effects of the alcohol had worn off by that point, but you still felt like your head was spinning from his smile alone.
you thought of the moment he held you when you cried into him. after all the stress and exhaustion, the memory was a bit hazy in your mind, but you couldn't forget how warm he felt, and how safe he made you feel. so many things happened at the club in such a short amount of time, it was hard to recall everything.
another day was over, and again you were in your hotel with your mind buzzing. you wanted to turn your phone off, to not be reminded of a certain other person that may bother you, but you wanted to text chan. there were so many thoughts in your head, most of which about how you just admitted to yourself that you wanted more than just friendship with him. you questioned yourself, am i crazy? we just met, is it okay to feel this way? should i tell him now? how should i tell him? should i just do it?
another day was over, meaning there would only be one full day left before you would be leaving to return home. every time your heart fluttered at the thought of holding chan’s hand, or resting your head on his shoulder, or his arm sneaking around your waist, you had to remind yourself that once you left, it would all be long distance, and you wouldn’t be able to experience any of that again for a long time. you questioned if even going for it with him was worth it.
in your bed, in the dark of the hotel room, you buried your face in your pillow. you weren’t really sad, but you wanted to cry again. you had no idea how this would work. obviously it didn’t work with your ex when the moment you were apart from them they cheated on you. chan is a man you just met, you cant give him your full trust just yet. but still, after everything that’s happened between you, you felt like you already have.
you wanted to scream. this didn’t feel fair. how could the nicest man you’ve ever met be presented in front of you at the worst possible moment? this was exactly why you never believed in fate, it was always painfully unfair, and now you were falling victim to it too.
chan felt the same way.
as he snuck back into his dorm, thankfully, it was dark enough that he could slip away into his room quietly without his nosy members asking him why he was dressed so nice at this time of night. from behind a closed door he could hear his other dorm mates yelling over each other, presumably playing some video game by jisung’s influence (a distraction he had come up with so they wouldn’t hear chan coming back). he lied in his bed, staring at the ceiling for a while. jisung’s warning to him was true. all of this was impossible, but he wanted it to work so badly. 
in the short time he had known you, his feelings for you only grew the more he interacted with you and the more he spent time with you. he cared about you, whether that be as a friend or something more. it was his decision to go with you to the club, even though he knew you were leaving. he made the conscious choice of getting closer to you despite that fact. he knew that in two more days, or one day now, you’d be gone. he had never considered anything long distance before, but maybe for you he would. the thought that you might leave his life forever, or even just be out of his reach, made his insides twist into a knot.
the newly made memories of you happily dancing in front of him, tripping and falling into him, the way you felt in his arms when he held you, your flushed cheeks when he left your hotel, every moment with you, it all flew around in his head. 
he reached for his phone, staring at the tiny keyboard. he could just admit all his feelings to you right now, while everything was fresh in his mind. he typed it out multiple times but ultimately deleted it all, settling for something much simpler.
chan: im home now, i hope youre asleep! 
chan: i had such a good time tonight <3
by that point, you were already asleep. you had fallen asleep with your phone in your hand, your confession to chan left unfinished in the notes of your phone.
chan stayed up late, unable to sleep as it usually was for him. he sat at his desk in his room, working endlessly at his laptop. even though he was going to be busy the entirety of the next day, he was still staying up late, pouring out his heart and frustrations into his music. eventually, he fell asleep in his chair, thinking of how he would see you the next day and how he was going to tell you how he felt. it had to be tomorrow.
in the morning, you were awoken by the buzzing of your phone in your hand. for a moment you thought it may be a phone call, but it was just a mass of texts from your friends. you noticed some from the previous night asking where you had gone, and the few from chan that you were excited to open, but the most recent texts from one of your friends stood out more than any of the others. as you read the texts, you thought you might still be dreaming, as none of the words really made sense.
☆: what did your guy say his name was?
☆: chan right?
☆: i thought he seemed familiar in that selfie but i didnt say anything…and last night too
☆: isnt this him?
☆: https://youtu.be/4B0dR0aYMt8
☆: thats him right? 
☆: did he tell you?
you opened the link hesitantly. it was a video of a livestream, posted to a channel called “stray kids”. you felt like all your insides dropped out of your body as you watched in a mix of shock and awe. it was chan, sat in front of a camera, talking happily to his live audience. the video was old, from a few months ago. not even 12 hours ago, this same person was in your hotel room, and now you were watching him on your phone with thousands of people adoring him in the comments. you scrolled through their channel, clicking on various videos to prove this was real. that single video led you to a rabbit hole of finding content with chan in it, from his group’s music, to their live performances, to their variety show appearances. you tried to make sense of it all, but no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t. the person you had finally admitted to having feelings for…was him? chan was a celebrity, and a very well known one at that.
but to you, he was just chan. 
this couldn't be happening. no way.
no wonder he had been wearing a mask that whole time. if one of their fans had seen you out with him, he would’ve gotten in trouble. and he had gone all the way to a nightclub with you? he put his job on the line…to hang out with you? he even walked with you to your hotel, you were even holding his hand. you never would've guessed he was famous from how kind he was, even from your first encounter when he saw you under the bridge. since when do famous people help random strangers crying alone in public?
"oh my god." you exclaimed out loud. the realization of the severity of this situation was hitting you harder than realizing you had feelings for someone you had only known for 2 days.
by this point you were fully sitting up, crouched over your phone with your legs crossed.
you: yes thats him
you: no he didnt tell me
your friend responded immediately
☆: this is crazy…hes like
☆: super famous
☆: are you okay?
☆: i won’t tell anyone okay? you seem to really like him and i want this to work for you
☆: after everything that happened, yk?
you read the messages over and over again. you were still stunned that this was real.
you wanted this to work too. anybody else probably would’ve been over the moon that a korean celebrity was talking to them in private, but you felt strange. why didn’t he tell you this before? the answer was pretty obvious, but you still wanted to hear it from him. you had told him everything about your life on that first night you met, but the more you thought about it, you really didn’t know that much about him, even after watching all that content with him in it. when you first met, he had kept quiet about his own life as you talked about yours. you told yourself you didn’t want to pry, but now you had to know. you didn’t want to learn about him through the internet. you really liked him, so maybe it was time you learned more about each other for real. you felt the motivation stirring inside of you, it wasn’t that serious, but you had to confront him now.
without reading chan's texts, you called him. the phone rang a couple times but went to voicemail. you tried one more time, biting your lip as the line rang. you remember him saying he was going to be busy all day, but a phone call or two wouldn’t get him in trouble, right?
chan was in the middle of practicing new choreography with his members when his phone buzzed from the couch where it had been thrown. he ignored the buzzing the first time, but when it started to ring a second time, he happened to be at a pause and was able to check who was calling. seeing that it was you, he smiled to himself. he opened your text conversation to tell you that he would call you later, but his smile quickly faded seeing your message that immediately followed the missed call.
you: can we talk?
chan: i cant call rn, is everything okay?
you: i mean in person
you: when can i see you?
chan found your tone strange, and the way you avoided his question was even more strange. your texts seemed urgent, but he couldn’t tell if you were upset or not. something was definitely going on, but he couldn’t pinpoint what. he wished he could call you, but he couldn’t. obviously not in front of his entire group. he couldn’t really slip into the hallway to call you either, as company staff would be within earshot. his eyebrows furrowed as he typed his response.
chan: tonight. is that okay?
chan: ill be done around 10pm
you: thats fine
you: lets meet up at the bridge, where we met before
you: ill see you then
chan started typing to ask again if you were okay, but the sound of everyone getting back up forced him to put his phone away. when he stood, he felt a nudge to his arm. he turned to make eye contact with jisung, who had seen chan typing in deep concentration. his younger member didn’t need to say anything, chan knew by the look in his eyes that he was asking what was going on. jisung was the only one out of his 7 group mates that knew about you, so of course he would know when he was texting you as well.
chan waved a hand to dismiss him with a quiet “it’s fine”, moving to find his position for the next choreography. jisung once again didn’t believe him but what could he say at that moment.
deep inside his chest, chan felt a weight sinking through him. he didn’t know what to expect, but all he could do was feel immense dread for fear of something he couldn’t predict. 
your entire friend group was still quite hungover from the previous night, so there was nothing planned for you to do. even you still felt the remnants of a headache lingering above your eyebrows. it was your final full day in korea, and you wished chan wasn’t busy so you could see him sooner.
as the hours progressed, both you and chan went through the day with anxiety boiling at the pits of your stomach. chan was able to distract himself with his busy schedule of practicing choreography, making music, or meetings with his company. unlike him, your day wasn’t so busy. you tried to keep yourself occupied by going out on your own, looking for clothing shops or cafes to mull around in, but the time couldn’t pass any faster. you ended up spending most of your afternoon packing to leave the next day.
despite everything, you were on each others mind.
one question kept tapping at the back of your brain. what if this ruins everything? the unknown of telling chan that you knew about his idol status was like a weight pressing down on your entire body that only grew as it got closer to your meetup time. but you couldn’t run away, you had to face it head on.
when the sun had set, and it was nearly 10pm, you both began your walk to the bridge by the urban stream. you tried to remember the route you had taken that night when you ran out in a hurry. you weren’t really paying attention to where you were going back then, so finding the way now was a complete guess. it felt a little strange to walk back willingly, taking better note of the path and your surroundings so maybe you could come back here someday. When the bench you and chan had sat and talked for hours a few nights ago appeared in front of you, you couldn’t describe the exact emotion that washed over you. it didn’t really hit you that you were leaving tomorrow until you were standing in the same spot as before. the same spot that started all of this. you held the railing lightly as you peered down into the shallow water. the feeling was somewhere in between happy and sad that pulled deeply on your heart. was it melancholy?
chan felt it too.
when he was finally free from his schedule, he quickly slipped away as everyone was planning dinner, giving the excuse that he was going to go work in his studio, and that he wasn’t hungry. he knew that was going to raise some suspicion from everyone but there was no other way. he skipped going back to his dorm to change clothes and rushed straight to you. it wasn’t too hard to find that spot. that night he was out for a walk and only took a different route than he usually would. he could still picture everything perfectly in his mind, and where you were standing that day. seeing you come into his view, he noticed you were in the same spot and a small tear formed in his eye at the reminder that this was your last night together. this was it.
“y/n!” chan called out to you, and you turned your head at your own name. 
you turned to face him and he stopped right in front of you. you looked right up into his eyes, glaring through them. they were still soft and beautiful, the city lights around you twinkling in them. you felt like you were reliving a memory instead of creating a new one. you had never felt such strong deja vu in your entire life.
“y/n what’s going on? i was so worried-”
“why didn’t you tell me?” you blurted, cutting him off.
“what? what do you mean?”
you paused, carefully choosing your next sentence. still, you couldn’t put much thought into your words for fear that you would overthink everything.
“why didn’t you tell me, bang chan?” 
chan’s eyes widened upon hearing his full name, his stage name. suddenly he realized exactly what you meant, and why you brought him here. he only told you his first name. you knowing his full name meant you figured out who he was. your eyes pleaded with his. he could tell you weren’t angry with him, but the serious look on your face as your gaze pierced through him was like a sharp slap to the face. he felt his whole world crumble, and everything he had been building up for the past two days shattering in front of him.
“you figured it out.” he turned away from you, exhaling a deep sigh as he leaned on the railing next to you, staring somewhere in the distance. 
“why didn’t you tell me sooner?” your voice was firm.
he didn’t know how to respond, how to explain himself. he didn’t want to. this is exactly what he didn’t want to happen. he just wanted things between you to be…simple.
“chan, i told you everything about me. we talked for hours that night and i told you my entire life story.”
chan’s lack of a response prompted you to keep going. you weren’t angry, but the more you rambled, the more your voice raised, and the more frantic your words became. 
“you saw me crying, you saw me drunk…you risked your job…your reputation to hang out with me… at a nightclub? and you didn’t tell me? if i had known, i wouldn’t have even suggested any of that. chan, what if you got in trouble-”
“i was scared of losing you!” chan blurted, a sudden rush of emotions taking control of him. he was now facing you again.
“...what?” you weren’t sure you heard him correctly.
there was a long moment of silence between you as chan searched for the words. 
“i was scared of losing you.” he repeated, eyes down at his shoes. “i just…wanted something normal for once. everything in my life is so…crazy and hectic. it’s hard to talk to people because everyone just sees me as bang chan from stray kids now. not as just…chan. but with you, i-”
he lifted his head, making eye contact with you. you felt your heart beating faster in your chest. you had no idea where this conversation was going.
“with you, i finally feel like i have something real. i didn’t tell you because i didn’t want anything to change.”
“chan, i-”
“i’m sorry for not telling you, y/n. if i hurt you, i… i’m so sorry. i understand if you can’t forgive me.” he now sounded more frantic than you. "what we have is really important to me."
“chan, it’s okay, i’m not hurt,” your gaze softened. hearing him on the verge of falling apart, you felt terrible for being even remotely upset at him. you grabbed his hand with both of yours. “i promise, nothing will change, okay? all i want is honesty. i want to know the real chan. and even without knowing you’re an idol, these past few days, i still felt like i was with the real you. what we have… it is real.”
you finally smiled at him to reassure him that you weren’t angry. 
“you’re not going to lose me, chan. never in a million years”
for you, somehow you felt like you were admitting something to him, beating around the bush of actually just telling him you liked him. a weird tension was suddenly building up between you as you shared another silent moment just staring at each other as you held his hands in yours. it was almost as if your hearts were talking, confessing everything to each other. you didn’t need to hear it from him to feel like maybe he felt the same way.
without saying a word, chan suddenly pulled you into a tight hug, holding you close to him. seeing you smile again, he couldn’t control himself, his heart making decisions for him. he couldn’t describe how relieved he was that you weren’t actually upset with him. he buried his face in your shoulder, and you were now the one to comfort him, stroking the back of his hair. you could tell he needed this. and so did you. this moment was a mirror of the previous night, but it somehow felt different. you felt closer, more connected. 
there was nothing holding him back anymore.
something about the way you said that single sentence made chan want to melt. now was the time, all of his emotions were about to explode out of him, it was almost painful to not tell you that final truth.
“thank you, y/n. thank you.” chan spoke quietly into your shoulder.
when he reluctantly pulled back from you, you could see his eyes wet with tears and you reached up to wipe them.
“oh, chan… don’t cry, i’ll cry!” 
he laughed sadly, pulling you back into his arms so you wouldn’t see him cry. “why do you have to leave… can’t you just stay?”
“i can’t… i want to, but i can’t.”
chan took a deep breath before speaking his next question.
“then can you at least say you’ll be mine?”
you stopped breathing for a moment. you wanted to pull away to look at him but he was holding you in place. he couldn’t bear to look at you for fear of a negative response.
“what?”
“y/n,” he started. “i know we just met, and i know you leave tomorrow. but i really like you. i thought we could just be friends, but the feelings i have for you… it’s more than that. i don’t care what my company says, or what anyone says. what we have… i can’t let that go. i’ll make it work, no matter what it takes.”
you were completely speechless. all you could do was hold him tighter. your heart was beating hard enough that chan could probably feel it where your body was pressed to his.
there was a long silence, then finally you were able to step back enough to look up into chan’s eyes. in that moment, it was just you and him. for the first time that night, you really noticed he wasn’t wearing his mask, proving he once again risked everything for you. you also noticed how close your faces were, and how you could definitely kiss him right now. you didn’t know it, but he was thinking that too.
you lifted a hand to rest on his cheek, and he leaned into your touch.
“yes, chan, i’m yours.”
his lips turned upward into a beautiful smile, and you couldn’t help but smile too.
“but before i leave,  i want to learn more about you. and not from the internet, from you.”
“of course,” he reached for your hand, pulling you towards the nearest bench, and the feeling of deja vu returned. “we have all night, yeah?”

Reality Check, Please by Paramocks. this fanfic has the kind of humour that could kill a christian grandmother.
Endless Dreaming by otomerson. this fanfiction is so beautiful it can make a grown man cry and thats okay (i dont know the quote dont kill me) please read it
Their Time by ShardOfHope. man this fanfic HURTS. you better read it.
The House That Breathes by Shifting_Walls. THIS IS SO GOOD
Broken Space by SpoonusBoius. yes, this fanfic is dark, but i feel people greatly exaggerate it. its not darker than pursuit, don't worry.
The Sun in Another Solar System by TellThemNaegi. if you look through this entire list while only reading one fanfic from here, please let it be this one. i have been totally fixated on this one and it deserves a mini-community of its own just like some other aus.
You're back, Mari by Anonymous. i hope you all expected this one. this is the mentioned one on no.17. im not sure how many trigger warnings i need considering this entire fic is so infamous i'd be shocked if someone didn't know. i don't want to risk spoiling it so just look at the tags. i was debating putting the sequel on here but decided against it. after all, the absolutely visceral reaction the pursuit au can garner from the fandom after just being mentioned probably has enough potential for a case study.
And there it is. the ultimate omori fanfic rec list consisting of 35 fanfic recs (I was originally gonna put way more on here but i got lazy near the end and put only my all time favourites)

ayyyyeee vulcan aboardd also why katrina's eyes are so red is she ok? bruh i been preoccupied by tardigrades too um ok lorca, mr. isaac clarke over here with your eye stabbery i kinda like lorca's face. hes so "f everything idgaf" oh my god the scale of the ship next to the shuttlepod
beat em up oh crap hmm hes gone so acting captain'll be saru thatll be interesting ugh i love this intro theres this feeling of utter suspension hearing and seeing it ugh seeing discovery fly through all these things and spin its so nice ugh the handssssssssssss i love the measurements and all these things and the constellations left behind ugh so much to see look at saruuuu cant wait till he frkn understands burnham's previous decisions and can stop treating her so blah i love his eyes WHO ARCHER JONATHAN AAAA PIKE CHRISTOPHER OH FUCKKKKK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AND THEN IT WILL BE you know. you know. YOU. KNOW. oh my god ok shaking okokokokok MUDD DID YOU JUST SAY YOUR NAME IS MUDD MUDDDDDDDDDDD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA oh my god this is so cool
oh dang. this poor guy. he was just in there to get foot in face. you sure are mudd. you sure do do that survivin. hi stamets. lmaooooo he knows hes brilliant - get it stamets own that shit it is kind of odd hearing burnham say such praise haha oh yeah its all BURNHAMS fault uhuh. cool to see some lone captain scenes its so odd to see such serious lighting in a trek production. listen. this is still all so NEW to me k. this guy ash tyler is pretty what is that its cute but also id be way to scared to come anywhere near that thing ughhh this outside shot of ncc discovery is so PRETTY thats so interesting? warp freeways because of space shrooms. damn. im with it.
DI DID DID DID THE THEY USE THE F WORD ON S T A R T R E K ???? DID THEY FUCKING USE THE FUCKING F BOMB ON FUCKING STAR TREK, ON THE FUCKING STAR TREK ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW HOLY FUCK I DID NOT I DID NOT HEAR THAT. my fucking mandible fell off when i heard that. i cannot believe what i just witnessed. i cannot believe my ears. not even AOS did the "fuck". oh my god "fuck" is canon in trek. that brought tears to my eyes hang on yall holy. shit… ima table that cuz i cant get over that idk when i can wow
saru has the perfect voice its so saru. its really cool to see his face like this the prosthetic is so great. it looks more real than (almost) anything pure cgi. cuz it IS real. i love it. beautiful example of practical effects. beautiful execution. also sorry but "predator"? really…? i dont appreciate burnham's treatment at all when its already bad enough that black women are almost always represented racially or with such a societal disdain cuz fucking EVERYONE hates black women. it is what critically annoys me in this series above all else so far :/ also sorry but WHAT THE FUCK DID STEWART DO HOW DARE YOU FUCKING THROW IT FUCK. YOU.
#LorcaNotMyCaptain
ugh not again with the titty stabbers. dude. this is slavery. let the fucking space bear go. look what you did to it. he shriveled up to survive. i HATE the treatment of other lifeforms in this series so far. CRACK IT OPEN? fuck you saru. fuck you too stamets. man everyone is so unlikeable. thats another issue i have in this show so far almost everyone is unlikeable af.
i didnt get to know phillipa that much so not much to say. burnham is so standoffish, idk if we have anough time to unravel her dimensionally. sylvia is kind of more annoying than endearing. lorca is lorca. ofc i dont like him (except i DO like an unperfect captain - i just wonder if hes redeemable). stamets is so catty like i get it yes be proud of your ideas that people might be ignorant towards but bruh still theres not enough good quality to counterbalance it so far. saru looks cool sure but hes so blatantly crass towards even other non-human lifeforms when he himself is non-human, cuz sry all that "crack it open" bullshit is gross af, desperation or not. i would NOT want him as my acting captain, ill say that, no matter how pretty he might be. i like ash tyler the most so far. i mean i get it its only episode 5 of 15 in s1 of 5 seasons - but still maybe im not too used to this many characters simultaneously being difficult to connect with. im gonna wait and see if this all develops. saru's feet. are hooflike his hands are so expressive his shape is so hes so lank. im SO impressed with how amazing he looks up close. i can SEE the subsurface scattering of his skin and the blood in his veins yeah please. we need this small talk with saru. thanks. k. i needed to see this redemptive quality in saru and co. cuz the getgo, everyones so adverse to alignment and connectivity
poor space bear i really hope you will be happy out there, mossie. youre FREEEE oh my god. space bear just warped. oh my god WARPING space bear. i need a plushie of it. mossie. stamets and doc. they gay for each other. they hubbies. they are literally brushing teeth together. yeuip. they gay. mhm. for sure. wow. first ever fucking explicitly gay couple in star trek. and it took this FUCKING long. i aint talking about TOS yall, we all know the love story that is the first 4 seasons + 6 classic films + 3 alternate reality films of Star Trek k - i just mean very literal and established archetypically, that makes sense. about fucking time. IDIC is literally mother gay but this took half an entire century to fucking show a gay couple onscreen. fuck me. k well. SNW Season 2 and 3, dont let us down. Im going to fucking die if theres even a wisp of something near Lower Deck's "K+S" carving scene. i digress.
alright DISCO, ima see how you unpack all this universal animosity, cuz damn are you thick with it in the first entire third of your first season.

i did a top 10 sidem songs tag that i saw going around on twitter~ cant believe we're finally in our tenth anniversary year!!
meet the world
this song is really significant to me for a lot of reasons. as a kaigai P, world tre@sure was a super important time in sidem history where the gap was really bridged between the japanese fans and the rest of us. 4th live tre@sure gate was a must-attend for me because of this and it was my first time attending a imas live locally ever! i'll never forget the feeling of the lights dimming and meet the world beginning to play with every seiyuu's voice together in a huge powerful harmony. it was the first time id ever heard my 4 tantous voices in real life without a screen and thousands of miles between us and it was one of the most important moments of my life. i knew in that moment i could never miss another live again no matter how hard it is and how many hurdles i have to jump over to get to japan for the events. every time i travel again for imas, i listen to meet the world on repeat and think about how my passion for the idols can 空を海を夜を越え�� <3
2. reason
reason is THE sidem song. every time i listen to it, the memories from the anime and lives and games all flood back to me. i've been a P since 2011 and AS has always been my home, and the reason i got into sidem at all is because i love AS and i've always felt that sidem and AS are the most connected and spiritually similar branches of imas. i always felt this way, so when sideani was released and we heard the full version of reason for the first time and realized that it was a love song to all of imas and everything that came before sidem... wow. im still so grateful to this day. and not only that, but AS themselves performing reason at moiw last year.... 😭 ill never be the same....
3. platinum mask
platinum mask!!! PLATINUM MASK!!! beits long awaited growing signal song. the memories attached to this song are so incredible. being in tokyo when the platinum mask event was announced, getting to experience platinum mask in full for the first time by hearing it performed live by all of beit at yokoari in that same week, platinum mask's cd releasing the week of moiw, platinum mask having the honor of being performed at moiw, and platinum mask being the song we got to finally see animated by sublimation for beits 3d mv. this song has given beit so many opportunities and been used to promote beit in ways id never even dreamed of before as their producer. not to mention the beautiful grand, royal aesthetic is something ive been waiting for my tantous to get forever, along with the lyrics perfectly fitting beits themes of secrecy and gaining/losing power.... this is truly the perfect song in every way.
4. hyper believer
i have so much to say about this song its unreal but ill try and keep it condensed. hyper believer was part of the first cd in the huuugely important and long awaited 49 elements series. there were 5 years in between shikis first solo and second solo, and much like the rest of the songs in 49ele, the jump in quality and huge level up for the idol is super tangible. hyper believer is shikis love song to highxjoker, to his friends his family producer the rest of 315pro, to life itself. it's about being self aware that hes in the awkward, incomplete period of his teenage years but going through every day knowing its temporary and fleeting so enjoying it anyway. every lyric is perfect and i still cant believe shiki got a song like this that takes him as a character so seriously. i havent felt so emotionally impacted by a song since chihaya's saihyou.
i love shiki more than anything in the entire world and i want to spend the rest of my life producing him. thats why when april 4th 2023 happened, it became impossible to listen to this song. theres a line in hyper believer that goes "millions of failures, successes, and brilliance are waiting for me" and i became unable to even face shiki when, in the real world, it seemed like there was no future waiting for him at all. all i could feel was my regret, my shock, my failure as a producer, my anger towards the situation sidem was put in. i carried these heavy feelings with me for months and didnt listen to the song for almost a year. until 8th live.
i attended sidem's 8th live at k-arena with nervous apprehension, careful excitement. very guarded. 2023 was the worst year of my life because of sidem, but also the best because of sidem. the idea of this being the final live and the end of the roadmap made me sick to my stomach and i sat in my seat on level-5 on day 2 with the idea that it could be the last time, ever. however, after a perfect baton touch from chibasho, nogamin came out on stage and performed hyper believer. "with tears in my eyes, i know i cant let this end". i was blown away. every single line hit me like a truck, only amplified by how long itd been since i heard them. after it was over, i was so stunned i didnt even register different songs had begun to play until 2-3 songs later. with that one song, every worry that clouded my life since april was blown away and my love for imas that had dropped to a 10% raised back up to 100%. along with platinum mask's b-side being performed, go for it, the surprise appearance of rairai meishi, and all the announcements afterwards that proved that sidem not only wasnt stopping any time soon, but revving up more than ever for the 10th anniversary made hachisu my favorite live of all time. i felt like everything id worked up to actually meant something and now i can face shiki with more love than ever because of this song.
thank you shiki, thank you nogami-san.
5. go for it
everything about go for it is very quintessentially "sidem" to me. being able to see minori as the center for such a fun shuffle unit is so precious. the unit originating in moba and then getting a song together through saisuta feels like staff very carefully considered how to bridge the gaps between both worlds and im very grateful for how much care was put into creating this project for them. not only that, but the lyrics are so fun and positive in a very sidem way and im so happy our oldest idols could sing this together since the age range of the idols being so wide is another charm point of sidem.
i also really love how sidem-like the music itself is too. sidem music is inherently instantly recognizable among other imas music because its men singing, but i think its really commendable that even if the vocals were muted, most people could still probably tell this was a sidem song. i also love love love how the music is ... tastefully dated? it matches the silly goofy aesthetic of over30 so much. its so playful. i love this song so much
i really hope i can own a proper go for it cd one day..... :(
6. summertime graffiti
not only do i think this is just a really really fun, catchy song that everybody should listen to, but this is the song that all 4 of my tantou sing together... <3 having tantou in different units means i dont get to see them together that often, and although theres 全体曲 and other songs like 315 steelo and welcome to japan that feature a mix of my 4 tantou, but this is the only song with kyoji pierre minori AND shiki singing together. beit and highxjoker combined with the energy and cuteness that yusuke and kyosuke add makes this the perfect song that i cant help but smile while listening to! hearing it performed at masters of idol world last year was so incredible i still cant believe it actually happened.... :'D
7. sunset colors
sideani 315. thats all i can really say. highxjokers songs are usually more idol-like in line distrubition and style than band-like, but for the anime they went full in on highxjoker being a band and it was so beautiful. shikis lead vocals throughout the entire song with everyone else backing him up feels like the most true to form highxjoker song ever. an entire episode of sideani being dedicated to this story and the build up to jun yelling out shikis name during the role call.... ;---; not to mention highxjokers seiyuu learning their characters instruments to perform it at 3/4 legs of the 3rd live tour... its such a huge honor to have my idol be the center of such an important song.
8. red hot beat
another song i just simply love to listen to and makes me really happy. super upbeat and high energy, perfect for all the physical members ❤️ i really really really adore the line distrubition in this song. seeing all of the combinations is so fun and i really like how most of them pair the idols up with more unexpected duos, which makes it really fun. shiki and minori are my physical tantous, so getting to hear asselin and minoris duet followed by shiki and suzakus duet is just so fun!! those combinations could only happen in this song so i tresure them deeply. the lyrics are so adorable too... theyre filled with such a deep love/affection that only idols ive produced for 10 years now could sing, yknow? if that makes sense. this song and its lyrics can only work because the sidem idols have been active for such a long time. cries.
also, minori was the event sr for the red hot beat event in saisuta which i had a lot of fun running. i think i hit 500,000 points? it really was fun....
9. secret ornament
theres not really a super deep reason for choosing this, but i just really love this song. theres something so endlessly magical about getting to hear kyoji pierre and minoris voices harmonizing together. a more orchestral song like this that relies on their vocals more shows that off perfectly. the violin solo after minoris solo gives me goosebumps no matter how many times i listen to this song on repeat. i love them so much. i cant wait to hear this song live one day ;-;
10. voy@ger
this might be cheating but theres no way i couldnt include voy@ger. voy@ger is my favorite thing the idolmaster franchise has ever done. ever. i cant say it enough. every single part of it is perfect. absolutely perfect. ive talked about it so much and gone over every possible detail and frame and milisecond of the song so many times that i wont repeat it all here but i just want to mention specifically that...
obviously i love the choice of sidem idols that got to participate because kyoji got to take part in this project but because... well... for a long time the reason othermas Ps would give that they didnt want to hear our sidem idols perform with their girls is because their voices are too deep and they would sound weird or bad or disruptive to the girls. i really hate this. not only is this super disrespectful to the song writers and sound producers, but also for more importantly the idols and seiyuu, both male and female. for nanwara and poplinks tune and even cryst@loud later on, only the main trio idols were used, but they were the "obvious choices" and only drastars members sang with the girls. but voy@ger didnt go that route and used idols outside the main trios. and for sidem in my opinion it wouldve been really easy for them to just choose. like. idk. kanon saki pierre ie the idols with the highest pitched voices and thrown them in the group so they could sing on the same octave as the girls but they didnt do that at all. and thats my favorite thing about voy@ger. kyoji genbu chris are probably the 3 idols with the LOWEST voices in all of idolmaster and im so happy they were given that opportunity to prove the weirdos who hate sidem wrong. they killed it so hard. im so in love with every decision made about voy@ger i could literally talk about this forever but this is probably my time to wrap this post up....!!
thank you 酒カス☆ボンバイエ and 黒川 for organizing this project! its been so fun to read other Ps thoughts on so many different songs. i had a lot of fun filling out my own version ^^

Prepare for a long-ass length ask:
Leo
YES. PSYCHIC/NORMAL 100%
"using calm mind 24/7" -> Love this
But also Belly Drum-
Lowkey picturing him as a Lioone for whatever reason-
Ney
Again, 100% agree! What else is there to say haha
BUT (as a gym leader) he has one random Ludicolo-
"Why do you have a Ludicolo when you're an electric type?"
"Because he's just a groovy lil' dude :("
Jordan
My bbg-
I'm so biased towards him it's pathetic-
Imagine: Flareon Jordan <3
Hidden ability Guts and a move pool consisting of Will-O-Wisp, Flare Blitz, Helping Hand, and Double-Edge
Works well with Poison Andy (more below!) and Grass Trent (more below!) to trigger Guts!!
And just like Jordan, this move set is all or nothing. Both Flare Blitz and Double-Edge have so much recoil damage, but Jordan is okay with being Poisoned or Paralyzed by Andy or Trent to boost the damage/recoil further.
And while he could open Helping Hand or WOW for a recovery move, how would he help Virgil?
The Team >>> Him. <- Or that's what he thinks at least...
Virgil
100% agree with the typings again!
"i realize this leaves him quad weak to fighting n fire" -> Which is why he's weak to Jordan haha
In a double battle with Jordan, I'd have him set up an Iron Defense first while Jordan burns with WOW.
Follow that up with a Helping Hand boosted Iron Head and it's over.
Luis
Nothing to say here when it explains itself haha
Andy
Love water type Andy!
But also consider: Water/Poison
Why? Andy is a nasty little bugger who will wear you down slowly over time. A defensive type but is capable of dealing big damage if you let him.
Imagine: Toxapex Andy with the Merciless ability and the move pool consisting of Baneful Bunker, Venoshock, Hydro Pump, and Recover.
I remember using a Toxapex like that in Pokemon Showdown. Always ends in a win or a rage quit by the other player lmao
Trent
Agree with you 100% once more
But consider: Remove Grassy Terrain and add Vine Whip for damage. Plus he does tend the whip the ball into the opponents box!
Him and Andy would be crazy together. It would be a stall-battle.
Sergio
Same as Luis haha
Millie
I raise you Rock/Fighting Millie
"how rock type gym leaders tend to be the first you face in the game as theyre meant to show new trainers the ropes" -> Yes but Millie as a Radical Red/Emerald Kaizo starting Rock gym leader-
AKA: Will shut you down before your nuzlock even begins.
Klopp
Something is telling me to add a secondary Psychic typing.
Too bad this means Dark type Pep beats the shit out of him-
BUT nothing that a little Destiny Bond can't fix!
Alisson
If this is based off of @liverpoolfanfiction's Supernatural AU (I've stumbled across it before!) then...
Imagine: Cutiefly Alisson
OR Mawile Alisson except instead of a big mouth, it's a big glove haha
I really geeked out over this (particularly Jordan/Andy as you can tell haha), so thank you so much for accepting my request!! <3
EHEHEHEHE MORE SOCCER/POKEMON CROSSOVER TO GEEK OUT OVER THIS WAS A FUN READ TY LUV
ohmygosh i cant BELIEVE youre a showdown toxapex user LMAOOOO. i love using toxapex myself but playing AGAINST it??? every time i see that my opponent has one i hafta take a second to think abt whether i have the time for this, cause i KNOW im not going anywhere anytime soon
i actually considered making andy a poison type like real shit!!! but i didnt rlly know to put it into words without making him look like a DICK lmao
N NUZLOCKE KILLER MILLY IS SO ACCURATE LMAOOOO I LAUGHED
im feeling VERY inspired to do a "INSERTPLAYERHERE's pokemon team" series rn,,,
thank you so much for this lovely reaction/ask i am LOVING geeking out over pokemon n football w you <3

Love You More | Pt. 11
TASM! x reader, Bucky x Reader
Word Count: 1.3k
A/N: Not edited, filler chapter
Series Masterpost
Tumblr media
“Can this thing fly any faster?”
Sam rolled his eyes “Its going as fast as it can”
“Its not fast enough!” He shouted hitting the planes wall.
“And it wont go any faster if you punch holes in it either”
Bucky let out a sigh, letting himself fall into the seat, he ran his hands over his face a groan leaving him “I’m so stupid Sam, so stupid”
“Well that i know” He let out a small laugh to try and lighten the mood when Bucky never said anything he continued “What happened man? I'm in the dark here”
“We went to this restaurant, that one that's still around from before, it use to be our hang out spot, the three of us” He smiled at the thought “And i didnt go there with the intention of doing what i did Sam, you gotta know that but when she looked at me, she just had so much joy and love in her eyes, she was talking about one of the times we went there and i panicked — I cant be him anymore, who i was before its not me, i just couldnt sit there and pretend so i asked for space… she gave me the ring back, the one i proposed to her with before i got shipped out and thats that”
“Wow”
“I know im an idiot”
“This all makes sense now and you are — Bucky, she knows you're not who you were then because she's not either. She knew there was a chance when Steve, her, and I were trying to find you and bring you back that there was a high possibility you weren’t even gonna know who the hell she was let alone who you were but she still fought for you because guess what Bucky, people do love you and that girl and Steve did it unconditionally. You’re gonna fix this before it's — What the hell?”
Both Sam and Bucky’s eyes darted to the side where a sparking gold circle appeared and Doctor Strange who looked like he just finished a fight walked through “We have a problem”
Tumblr media
“James?”
“Yeah doll?”
“Do you think we’ll be together forever?” You looked up at him, you were lying between his legs, his arms around your torso.
“Of course why would you ask that?” His brows creasing together
“It's just” You paused to face him “The war, Danny from down the street got his letter and i can't help but feel like something big is gonna happen Bucky” You lip wobbled, his hand found the side of your face “Like i'm gonna lose you Buck, you and Steve — My boys, my everything”
Your eyes darted to the ground, pulling at a piece of grass “Doll”
You sniffled ripping it apart “Look at me please”
You felt the warmth of his left hand guide your face to look at his “You will never lose us, okay? We’re not going anywhere, promise” His smile was so sincere but you could see something behind his pupils, swimming past hoa blue iris is something that wasn't there before, the wind picked up sending a chill down your spine, goosebumps littered your skin.
“Okay, i believe you”
“Forever doll”
“Forever james”
Tumblr media
“Do I need to do anything?” Peter was panicking. This whole thing was too insane to be real but it was but he just couldn’t wrap his mind around you wanting and willing to leave your whole world behind for him. But he was in no place to argue because you were a grown woman, a one hundred year old adult with super fucking powers might he add, and he was so down for the ride.
“Just give me your hand okay?”
Peter gave you the sweetest smile “That i can do”
Your sweaty shaking hand gripped tightly onto his. As you watched the eldest Peter completely disappear you could hear doctor stranger shouting at you, you could feel something trying to keep you here but the pull to leave was more intense as Peter started to get pulled back to his universe you closed your eyes, taking a deep breath and matching your cells to merge with his making so easy for you to go back with him.
When you felt the particles around you shift slightly the breeze felt different. You opened your eyes, meeting his brown again different from the blue you were used to.
“Holy shit, you’re actually here” Peter took a step back, his hands on his head “I didn't think it would work — n-not that i doubted you or anything i just” he did gesture with his mimicking the sound of an explosion.
You giggled “I didn't think i could either, i just — i don't even know” You paused spinning around, it was the start of the night here where as you universe the sun was just rising and this one was setting “It feels different here”
Tumblr media
“What do you mean a different universe?” Bucky was pacing, he barley understood his stupid flip phone but this was a different ball park.
“I mean exactly as it sounds” Strange looked between the two of them “She — y/n went back to whatever universe the other Spider Man was from”
“How did she even do that?” Sam stood to place a hand on Bucky's shoulder to get him to stop pacing “I thought she could only control the elements? Y’know wind, water, earth the whole shebang”
“It's more complicated than that”
“What do you mean? You’re being very vague Doc and I'm not liking it!” Bucky was fuming.
“Its Doctor — And I mean her powers are complex, they develop further over time, they can be whatever she wants, needs them to be but being in a different universe it could very well, how do i put this lightly?” He stopped briefly to think.
“Dont, just tell us straight please” Sam pleaded
He nodded “She could die, she could slowly perish and not even know it. What kept her alive is from this universe and without it when she died 80 years ago will catch up to her”
Sam gave Bucky a questioning look before directing his attention back to Strange “How did you know about her death? Steve said only Stark and him knew”
“To become the sorcerer supreme she was one timeline we had to know about”
“Why her?”
“She could very well end our entire existence but she could also help us flourish and save us” Strange turned creating another portal “You both need to come with me”
“Can’t you wait till we land? Were almost there” Sam pointed out
“No, this is vital, now and i'm not asking”
Sam grabbed Bucky's arm pulling him through the portal “You’ve been quiet, oddly quiet”
“I just don’t understand how he could just let her go,” Bucky scoffed. “Did you even try to stop her?”
Strange turned to look at the two men in front of him “I was busy saving the rest of the universe. Look I understand she's your friend, she is more than that to this universe and it will collapse if we don't get her back, so the less you do this bullshit the better”
“How do we do that? How do we help?” Sam stepped slightly in front of Bucky
“Were going to need more help” Strange eyed them both “Give me about a minute” he opened up another portal about to step through it before turning back around “Don't touch anything”
“This is crazy” Sam sighed sitting down on the stairs in the Sanctum “Why would she just leave universes with a random guy? It just doesn’t sound like her”
“I don't know '' Bucky gritted his teeth “I don't know Sam, I don't know why i broke up with her, I don't know why Steve left, I don't know why she left! You might as well go to, that's all anyone does is leave”
“Buck come on”
“What if they both fight so hard to save me and they do, then they just leave?” He scoffed “She left willingly, Why should I go and save her huh?”
Sam opened his mouth to talk when a voice they haven’t heard in months answered for him.
“Because you love her”
Bucky froze, his eyes wide “Steve?”

ANYWAYYY i just read the first chapter of monster in me and im so excited for you and the new series!! the first chapter was so good. i love how the dynamic between neteyam and y/n is so different from cardigan and cruel summer!!! bby you are so versatile when it comes to writing pls i was so shocked when i read it b/c THE LAST SCENE WAS INTENSE!!!! this will be a TRUEEEE enemy to lovers fic--DIRTY, MEAN, GRITTY, AND SEXYYY. your whole writing universe (andra writing universe...AWU?) is just amazing you have done it again queen
(i just know monter in me neteyam is a moody baby boy and needs to get over himself fr, hope the reader kicks his ass and makes him realize)
additionally, I CANT WAIT FOR THE CRUEL SUMMER ONE SHOT its gonna hurt sooo bad but soo good at the same time. i was driving home with my friends today and we were listening to folklore and i had to do it to them and explain the whole cruel summer series while listening to august and the 1.
i think you posted a drabble too??? not sure, i will have to find it haha but these are all my thoughts for now. you'll probably see this in the morning so GOOOD MORNING <3
Hey kendra my love!!! I love seeing you in my inbox so much 😩😩😩 how was your little holiday?? Did you enjoy the beach??
Thank you so much for reading monster in me 😭 i’m so excited for a new series, you know me, I thrive off series hahahaha. Yes, i tried really hard to make sure the dynamic and relationship is very far removed from what i’ve written so far, but i’m not super comfortable with this trope yet so i really hope i do it justice🥲 AND YES, i needeed them to truly be enemies, and for the stakes to be high, but now i am worrying about redeeming neteyam cause wow he’s a dick HAHAHAH
The cruel summer one shot already is making me sad and i barely wrote anything, i’m so excited for it omg, can’t wait for you to read it!! The Andra writing universe comment took me out you’re too amazing hahaha omgg i can’t believe you told your friends, i hope they enjoyed the story!
I saw you commented on the drabble, that is just pure smut so enjoy my love 😉😂💕

"Love?"
Summary: Mc and asmo watch a romance movie together, and while asmo is busy fangirling over it, mc is briefly taking notes and decided to try 'something' on one of the brothers... reader: !gn, they/them prns. Type: short fic a/n: I was thinking about making this fic about mammon, to feed my brain rots for him, but I also wanted to do levi... so here's levi. P.s. If anyone wants me to start tagging them in these, dm me! (I got this idea from a pinterest post!) Link: https://pin.it/6xvL1mh
Tumblr media
"Oh my!! That is so romantic!" The blonde haired demon yelped as he clung to your arms with teary eyes. "Oh, how it's giving me goosebumps! Don't you agree, mc--" You were so into the moment that you had to take in absolutely every single detail. And if that meant blocking everything and everyone else out, you were dedicated to do just that. You started mumbling to yourself; "Woah... What an astonishing way of showing affection. I could use this on--" "MC!" Asmo yelled, hoping that he'd finally get your attention. "Geez, you're more into the movie than I am." He dramatically whined. "What are you mumbling about anyway?" Asmo questioned with a dazed expression. "That's it! I'll do it first thing in the morning, right before we head off to RAD!" You happily exclaimed with imaginary stars in your eyes. "Huh...? What're you--" SLAM, and there you were, gone faster than wind could keep up. The next day... "I can't believe they made the new I accidentally ate my sister and turned into a flying gargoyle and accidentally murdered my entire family and made my dead ancestors in the second dimension become my slaves series into a book now! I'm totally gonna read the whole thi--" "Oi, nerdy otaku demon!" Said mc with a sly grin on their face. "Huh? What is i--" BOOM! You had completely kabedoned (kabedon'd? Is that a word??) Leviathan. "Whaddya say we finish watching that new anime series that just came o-" "WHAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAa" He helplessly shrieked. You 2 were really close, actually TOO close. Your faces almost touched. And his was as red as one of beels' favorite bloody cow liver sandwiches. "T-t-this c-c-c-cant be REAL!!! Stuff like this only happens t-to NORMIES in those romantic animes or fanfics!!!" "Wow...! Who knew mc could be so forward!" Asmo whispered in admiration. You slowly stepped away from levi as he was rambling about having a "y/n" moment; Whatever the hell that means. "Did I break him?" You questioned yourself. "No, no, no, you did it all wrong, mc!" Asmo sighed dramatically. "Huh?" You scratch your head in confusion as you tilt it slightly at his words. Asmo clicks his tongue, "You have so much to learn about love." "Love..?"

what is ddf?
hi anon so happy u asked this because it allows me to type a wall of text about a topic i love to talk about!!!!! ❣️ ddf is short for "die drei fragezeichen" which is the german version of the american kids book series "the three investigators", written by robert arthur! it follows three young detectives that are 13 at the beginning of the series and later get aged up to 17/18 so they can drive cars. the publishing history is hilarious so im gonna recount the whole thing to you
- only ten books were written by robert arthur himself, before he passed away in 1969
-the series was then continued by additional four authors who wrote an additional 37 books, at this point the characters were still 13, but a rivaling book series that also featured a group of kids aged their characters up, so of course the same had to happen to the investigators.
- the characters, now around 17 years old get lots of cool updates, like knowledge of hand to hand combat, drivers licenses, and a ton of new authors. this new series was called crimebusters and only ran from 1989 to 1990, but managed to produce 13 books, written by seven different people, six of them being new additions to roster. with this, the american career of the three investigators ends.
-germany meanwhile, picked up the books around 1979 and they get very popular (after a rough start and a cover redesign)! so germany does what germany loves to do and makes audiodramas out of them, writing scripts, hiring voice-actors, and recording them onto cassettes of course. the voice-actors are of course actual 13 year olds! (for now.) and wow does everybody go crazy for these casettes!!! people cant get enough of them!
-when the american production of ddf books ceases, the german population is very sad: soon they will run out of ddf scripts! but not to worry. after some legal disagreements, more books finally get written! in german now of course! and by FOURTEEN different authors! the first german ddf book gets released to the public in 1993.
-the three voice-actors at this point have become a household staple. almost everyone knows their voices. the kids that grew up listening to them are now having kids on their own who are of course also listening to them. (this mostly applys to western germany for obvious reasons). so in the early 2000s the voice-actors start doing livetours of their readings
-these livetours are a huge hit: sometime between then and now, they broke the world-record for biggest audience at a live audiodrama, somewhere in berlin. for some reason two of the voice-actors (one of them married. with kids) put in a segment that involves them singing romantic karaoke and then kissing on the stage, always met with thunderous applause. this little joke of theirs keeps going and their two characters become incredibly gay, which everyone refuses to acknowledge because "its a joke" (????).
-theyve had an enormous impact on german popculture to the point where theres been ddf toasters, ddf tents, ddf shoelaces, ddf anythings. ddf pizza. i myself own a ddf mug a ddf towel and a ddf pin, because i of course also grew up listening to the audiodramas, on cassettes that i got from my parents who listened to those same cassettes when they were kids. the books are still going (currently at volume um, around 230 i believe?) and the audiodramas are also steadily coming out. theyve got these german men that are all balding and over 50 voice some peppy 17 year old californians! lifes so funny
-i realize that by telling you this timeline ive told you very very little about the actual plot, but the plot isnt that important anyways... its three guys theyre detectives thats mostly it. the adventures are basically insane (one time one of them got shot into space? another time some crime boss who was genuinely kin with moriarty and was convinced their leader their 17 year old leader was his sherlock kidnapped them to have some sherlock v moriarty showdown with him. theyre in a permanent stand-off with the CIA because theyve got some info on them that they could easily leak to the press and thats the only reason they arent in federal prison: the CIA is scared to act lest they leak their info. anyways lots of normal things!)
-also i just want to reiterate that there have been 25 seperate people writing these books and that theres now 230 books out there and theyre still releasing more and that these voice-actors have been their characters for 40 years...thats just crazy to me

Not me coming on Tumblr to get career advice rather than Linkedin or sum… but that’s okay because you are very accomplished
Olay let me start this by: OMG THE FOX NEWS THING😭😭 I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT KNOW… that is some life goals being achieved. No cause how do you do all this? It’s so- wow. Yup that’s what it is. It’s just ~wow~
As someone who has worked with the UN and pissed off fox news (which is arguably a bigger life moment) do you have any advice on how I can get started?
I know I’m really young so finding internships and stuff is a lot harder. It’s even more difficult since I’m an international student meaning I practically have no connections whatsoever (the pain is almost unbearable).
I was thinking about just like cold emailing a bunch of lawyers in big firms to see if they’d let me intern there or at least shadow them but that could come off as impolite and a waste of their time and I don’t want to ruin potential career prospects (like what if they decide not to employ me years from now because of this… idk lawyers are grudge holding and weird like that). I thought I could do the same with university professors cause they do research but I have absolutely MO idea how a “humanities” professor (like law, history) would do research or why they’d need people to help cause it’s not like they’re in a lab… I suppose I could try that with social sciences professors. I’m not really afraid of rejection from them cause it’s over email so I can just pretend it never happened (right????!). Then again, I don’t know if this is socially acceptable.
I’m not even in university yet so I’m too young everything online but I’m afraid when I am old enough for the big girl stuff then I won’t be experienced enough to stand out so I need to start young but idk how.
I feel like I should get a career advisor but I can’t so I’m just gonna ask credible online strangers :) hehe
Alright enough real world thinking for the day… imma go ials now. ITS ARTHURS CHAPTER!!! I wonder if we’ll see a certain love interest…
Helloooo.
Okay. I'm going to be honest with you professors and lawyers are not gonna give internships to school students. Internships in the development sector (where we focus on social, economic and political development) are incredibly tough.
But I will tell you that internships are easier to access when you are actually in college (because sometimes it is required that you do one) and people are more likely to hire you when you have a little bit of credibility.
So, if you are still in school, I will advise you to focus on your learning and worry about the internship a little later.
What I would advise you to do instead though however is to join as many online (or offline if possible) programs for youth on various niche topics. These vary from workshops, trainings, youth camps, etc. These are usually for 18 and above and are specifically for young people so you are more likely to get in. These are fantastic opportunities for you to 1) learn about the topic before you go to college. college is theory. here you can learn from mentors who actually work in the field 2) it looks fantastic on your CV if you don't have job experience yet 3) VERY IMPORTANT - you get to make like-minded friends. 4) You also meet mentors and inspirations who might end up changing your life.
These kinds of events (one-off online workshops or even a series of events) are hosted by almost all organizations in the development sector. All you need to do is google it. I would suggest you to start locally (in your country or continent/region).
For example, I just googled this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Identify your niche interest (as mine is gender/digital rights). Find a program or event. Remember to apply for as many as you can.
I started applying when I was 19 (when I finished school) and it's really how I met so many people and started to work with different organizations.
If you are comfortable sharing your current region or country, (DM me if it's better) and let me know your interest areas, I'm happy to share any opportunities that I see because I'm in so many whatsapp groups and pages where people are constantly looking for people like you! Youth who are interested!
NETWORKING IS EVERYTHING IN THIS FIELD.
Also. You don't necessarily need to do anything right now either. If all you do is read books and watch videos that are relevant to your topic, that's great. I would strongly advise you to do that. For example, if your interest area is Law +LGBTQ, then you need to be aware of the current events in this area (ILGA Asia on IG is good for this!). That's very important!
I hope this helps! 💜
