I feel like we're dealing with a bit of a catch-22 here.

On the one hand, I don't want to be buying tumblr merch and premium options to REWARD the garbage decisions they're making right now, and I know enough about how upper management at tech companies operates to know that they WILL see an influx of money right now as basically saying either "ohhhh, so they LIKE these changes" - or, if they actually listen to the staff members fielding feedback, "ohhhh, so THREATENING to make the user experience worse gets us money!"

On top of which, I don't want to encourage an OVERLY friendly relationship between the company and its userbase. Tumblr may be...by FAR the best we've got at its scale, despite the fact that they literally seem to be trying to hide that fact where they're not threatening to change it outright, but they are still a company. They're still inclined to make shitty decisions and lose touch with the userbase in the interest of Company Bullshit.

On the other hand...if we DON'T try to get them to at least break even, we're going to lose the site eventually, and possibly have some REALLY heinous shit go down in its death throes. Definitely not today or tomorrow. Maybe not for many years; it's hobbled along on life support via changing hands for many years already. But it will happen. They can fake it for a significant time if there's enough demand, enough hope - tumblr's not the only one pulling it off - but a company CAN'T go on forever when it's hemorrhaging money. Money doesn't become a nonissue when it's not YOUR paycheck.

I'm sick of the illusion that the internet is an immaterial, intangible thing...except when we're criticizing mining and energy usage and basically implying it shouldn't EXIST. It's not just a fake thing that exists in our phones and computers and the LITERAL ATMOSPHERIC clouds. Servers cost money to buy or rent, even when the software running on them is a buggy mess. Staff and contractors cost money to pay, even when the skeleton crew your company has is laughably insufficient for the scope of its services - we want them to expand staff to respond to tickets and improve their moderation system faster, well, with what money?? You want these improvements made with whose man-hours?? I wholeheartedly agree with most of the userbase that this Twitter-knockoff layout and some of their other stupid ideas lately are a huge waste of the ones they're paying for, but that doesn't mean they can redirect 1,000 man-hours from an ill-advised project and magically get a 10,000 man-hour project done!

Consider the moderation system. It's bad! It's biased! We've proven this! It's also mostly automated. What are our potential solutions here?

Go back to fully manual: Puts real human people through a PTSD meat grinder. For this to be done even REMOTELY ethically demands hazard pay, short hours, and the best mental health care coverage money can buy. Where are these human moderators getting paid from, let alone if they're going to be paid fairly?

Modify the software: ...they're already trying; retraining a whole system is easier said than done, especially in the very likely event that posts that are taken down by report-brigading innocuous content are feeding BACK into the system as "This Is What A Bad Post Looks Like." I'd love it if they could do it better and faster - but again, with what money?

Train their OWN software from the ground up: Requires EXPERT software engineers to build the framework AND a large human moderation crew in the short term to hit that "good post"/"bad post" button all day; refer to the problems with fully manual moderation. No one is quite sure how to bulletproof a moderation system against report-brigading in a way that won't ALSO deprioritize reports against content so heinous that everyone who sees it reports it. Once again - where is the money for all this labor coming from?

Every option is human labor that must be paid for. Every single possibility.

Anything else that needs doing? Fixing search? Human labor - money. Improving the bot filters to ban more bots and fewer real people? Humans have to do that - needs money!

So the money-seeking WILL continue until they're breaking even or better, or the site shuts down completely. Those are the two options. You cannot anti-capitalist Theory your way out of them. You can have your grand ideas for how things will work in a healthier, restructured economy, but that's not the point we're at. For now? Operating at a deficit = enshittification or shutdown. Those are the options. There is no third one. The level of hostility I see from some users against the very concept of tumblr BREAKING EVEN is absolutely absurd and completely detached from reality.

But what's the conclusion? Where do we go from here? Fuck, man, I have no fucking idea.

The Exhibitionists Club Ch. 6 - Thomas Part 2

Author's Note: Two Parts in one day! I know it'd been a while since I last posted, life gets in the way and whatnot but I'm still here and dedicated to giving you the stories you all love!

This chapter will be focused on Thomas from Ethan's perspective...does our stud Professor have the hots for one of his students??? Find out ;)

Part 2 -

Two Parts in One!

Ethan I had just sent away Professor Whittle and her small group of female volunteers when Thomas finally showed up. Only three other male students had agreed to participate which was fine, seeing as the study was meant to be on a small scale though I would interview each of them separately to make them more comfortable…for what came next. Thomas was the last to arrive, and when he entered he looked flustered like he had lost track of time, and I thought it was perhaps from being exhausted, studying perhaps?

I’m ashamed to admit that I found the lad quite beautiful, he had a thin but angular face, with sharp blue eyes and wavy dark hair that narrowly avoided going past his eyes. He wore a plain green tshirt, a dark brown coat from being outside, and brown pants. When I had finally gotten a closer look at him when he came up to me earlier, I thought he was the most beautiful young man I had ever seen, and my cock had started to rise in my pants as if in response to an attractive fellow male in my presence.

I felt a slight heat rise in my cheeks as well, because I could feel the arousal in my loins but it was only a little, not so much as to pop a boner right here and now…not yet anyways.

“Ah, Thomas, I was afraid you weren’t going to show up after all,” I said.

“No, just-just got…lost around the building, that’s all” he replied in heaving breaths. “Regardless, I’m glad you're here because now we can start” I said and directed him to sit with the others.

He did as I told him and it sent a rush through me that he was so quick to obey… “Now, you all know why you are here, I assume you’ve got your forms all signed and you will hand them to me” I said and sure enough all four of my volunteers handed over their signed forms which had now effectively sealed their fates.

“Good, now then, here’s how it works, I’ll call you one at a time and you’ll proceed into the medical exam room right behind me”-I said, pointing towards the door.

“Once you are inside with me, you are to follow all of my instructions to the letter, and will continue to remain part of the study until its duration, understood?” I said, and the first three nodded but Thomas…hesitated before agreeing.

“Excellent, now, Blake is it? You're up first” I said and the tall skinny blonde from my Anatomy II class followed me into the medical exam room, and as I closed the door I glanced towards Thomas and we locked eyes for a split second before I fully closed it. I silently cursed myself to get a grip and be professional, he's a student for god’s sake!

Thomas He’s a professor for god’s sake! I thought as I noticed Professor Ethan’s gaze locked onto me right before he closed the door. I could hardly ignore my dick twitching in my pants as I saw that familiar gleam in my professor’s eyes…I still couldn’t quite figure out what it was exactly, but I had my suspicions. Still, he couldn’t possibly be interested in me…would he? He was the star Adonis of the campus, all his students talked about how hot he was and were jealous of whoever got to date him. So the thought of him desiring me was absolutely preposterous…wasn’t it?

I waited there, down at the end of the row of pull-up chairs that were put out for everyone to sit, and as I sat there my mind was an influx of emotions, ones worried about George, others on getting this extra credit, and now I have to deal with a possible crush on my professor??? It was enough that by the time that Blake had returned it seemed only seconds had passed for me. The tall blonde looked…different, like a warm glow about him but also an ashamed look in his eyes as well. Next up was Wes, a medium-height caramel skin and shoulder-length hair that it seemed he braided himself and when he was in there I swore I could hear them talking or some very…odd noises. Regardless, he came out quicker than Blake did and had a satisfied smile on his face. Next up was the guy sitting at the opposite end and for the first time I noticed…it was George from the Anatomy I class. He was glaring right at me, his ice-cold stare sent chills down my spine like it did before and Professor Ethan looked disturbed when he had to call him in. Not taking his eyes off me, George got up and followed Ethan into the exam room.

For some reason, George was in there a lot longer than the other two, longer than they probably should have. I started to worry, remembering George’s threats from earlier, what exactly did he mean when he said “or else I’ll make you my little bitch, too?” that didn’t make any sense at all! nonetheless…I was about to get up and go find Professor Whittle when at long last George emerged from the exam room and he had a devilish smile on his face. Ethan looked…disheveled, but nonetheless the same if a bit more stiff and stoic than he usually was. George didn’t glare at me again, instead he merely winked and walked right out, leaving it just between me, and professor Ethan.

Ethan “Thomas Miller? Come on in, you're the last one” I said, trying to sound as professional as possible and not like my ass had just been rammed into, I felt ashamed and disgusted with myself for continuing to let George do this to me. Ever since he and James had…stolen my clothes and done all those…other things then maybe I would feel like I still had a shred of dignity to my name. But now? Every time George got me alone these days he held that copy of the video over my head and I had no choice or I’d lose my job at best and go to prison at worst. Most of the time he just wanted to fuck me, other days he’d strip off all my clothes and leave me tied up to my own office chair until the janitor found me and helped me. Thankfully I was able to play it off as a silly prank by some trouble-making students.

Just now? As soon as the door was closed he wasted no time, he bent me over the table that I now directed Thomas to sit on and then he…took off my pants and started pounding my ass, he had even grabbed my hair, and I thanked god that the walls were thicker in this building because even though I stifled my moans, George never made an attempt to hide what he was feeling. The little punk had the nerve to threaten me before he left…he told me to keep my eyes off of the other guys in the class, said I was his and that he didn’t like to share. He seemed particularly focused on Thomas about that last bit, and it worried me, he could do whatever he wanted to me but I drew the line at hurting my students! I had to do something about this, it was far past time and needed to take action now before Thomas or anyone else…got hurt.

“Professor? Is everything alright?” I heard Thomas say and I turned to look at him and with the lamp shining directly on him I stifled a breath in surprise because he looked absolutely beautiful, even more so than usual.

I realized then I had been staring at my clipboard for a few minutes now, distracted by my thoughts about George. “Oh, yes just…checking to make sure I had to right papers for you here” I said and to prove it I got a new copy of his initial charts and refilled out all his information on it before I collected myself and started preparing him and myself…because I was about to see Thomas butt naked.

“Alright…here’s how it works Thomas, first I need to do a full check of your male anatomy so…I’m going to need you to take off all your clothes please, and put them on the chair by the door” I said, my voice even despite that my cock was literally lurching to life in anticipation.

Thomas’ face grew bright red, and under the lamp light it only made the color more prominent which made him so adorable…but nonetheless he didn’t seem surprised, in fact he didn’t even voice any protests like Blake had.

He hesitated at first, but he muttered something and despite that he was still bright red he got up and with great reluctance he began to pull off his clothes. First he removed his socks and shoes, afterwards his coat and at the first glance of his upper body I could feel the blood rushing to my dick. I tried not to stare, captivated as Thomas lifted his shirt over his head exposing his bare torso but I was surprised by how much musculature he had on him it was difficult for me to try and concentrate on filling out the form in front of me especially as my cock started to ache inside my pants.

What came next, though, was Thomas slowly unbuckling his belt and unzipping his jeans. He kept his head down but I could tell he was so embarrassed to be exposing himself to his own teacher, but it seemed…more than that somehow. I peeked inside his pants and my cock rose to full hardness when I saw the sexiest burgundy red silk briefs on him. I was positively drooling at the sight, but I managed to tear my gaze away and take notes on Thomas’ male anatomy features. At least that wasn’t so difficult to do in this state, especially as the lad finished removing his jeans which left him in nothing but his briefs. My breath caught in my throat as he slowly grasped each side of his briefs and slowly lowered them down his legs. My dick throbbed and even felt it leak a little as I saw Thomas’ perfect cut cock come into full view. It seemed that Thomas regularly shaved off his pubes which only made his dick seem that much larger, there was already a little blood rushing to it so…I was guessing maybe 7 inches? The perfect length, too….no, stop it he’s your student I said to myself.

Thomas stood there, fully naked in front of me and he slowly started to gather up his clothes and placed them on the chair beside the door as I instructed and stood there by the table with his arms covering up his crotch. “I’m sorry Thomas, but I need to examine your anatomy and that means…genitalia too” I said, gently trying to calm the poor kid down.

Thomas grew redder in the face but he moved his hands aside and his cock had grown to half-mast now, and with my clipboard in hand I prepared the checklist the same as the others…

“Now, for our first overview I’m going to be observing your anatomy, and once I am done with that I will be testing your body’s sensitive areas to get a rudimentary idea of your body’s sexual arousal response, alright?” I said, again gently.

Thomas didn’t object but nor did he respond except for a slight nod of his head and refused to meet my eyes. I could hardly blame him, but I had a job to do still despite the aching boner in my own pants.

So, I raked my eyes over Thomas’ naked body and the more I looked at it the more…aroused I got, he had such an incredible and beautiful body that I took clear detailed notes on the various parts of his anatomy and from what I could see and my general knowledge of human anatomy Thomas was a healthy, fit young male like anyone else except…

He was hard. Fully hard. By the time I was able to move past Thomas’ juicy bubble butt towards his front the lad’s head was upwards, refusing to look at me as I gazed at his amazingly hard cock which dangled between his legs like a trapped treat that was begging me to reach out and touch it only to end up paying for it if I dared to do such a thing. After that, however, I had to start testing his erogenous zones which started towards the top, specifically his ears which surprisingly earned a twitch from his still fully hard cock down there. When I reached his nipples I got a much bigger response from him, I saw him biting his lip as I used my gloved hands to massage them. My cock was practically begging and felt like it would rip through the fabric and just flop out in the open.

I couldn’t help but to try and twist one of them a little and I heard a soft “oh!” escape from Thomas’ lips. “Good, subject has ummm…sensitive response to stimuli around the nipple area” I managed to say.

I moved on towards his lower half now, one gloved hand feeling down his torso to test for sensitive areas which Thomas didn’t seem to have. However, next came the rather more fun part, depending on your perspective.

“Thomas? Next is gluteus and penile stimulation, just so you are aware and of course please state if you are in any distress as I complete your examination” I said, sounding rather professional this time.

“O-okay, but be careful I’m rather…sensitive down there” he said, his voice wobbly and embarrassed but I gave him a reassuring smile. That seemed to relax him a bit, and he closed his eyes as I reached around his waist and gently massaged around his butt. I couldn’t believe I had my hands massaging Thomas’ ass, I was afraid of getting too close to Thomas’ legs or he’d know I have a hard on, big time. Thomas seemed to find the sensation stimulating but not as sensitive as his nipple area which I added to the notes. Next was the finale, I gingerly reached out and grabbed his cock gently but firmly in my hand to test the firmness of his arousal and what I felt blew me away completely. I was such a torrent of conflicting desires.

I used my free hand to caress his balls, the combination of which made Thomas moan through gritted teeth. Now I had to further stimulate him and I prayed to whoever was out there that what I was hoping for came true. I used the tips of my fingers to stimulate the glans at the tip of his penis.

“Oh! Fuckkkkk” Thomas whispered out loud. I was almost done here, so I continued to fondle his balls and teasing the tip of his cock when suddenly I heard him say: “Fuck…Professor umm…I’m gonna…if you don’t stop” he said.

I didn’t stop.

Instead, I started slowly jerking his cock, increasing the pace until I could see his body language communicate for him as his muscles contracted and legs buckled as he shot his load. Thankfully I aimed it towards a small cup I had for this exact purpose. I forgot to mention we needed to collect sperm samples from all the volunteers…it seemed Thomas really enjoyed doing it this way. He grunted and moaned as he shot his load inside the cup and I managed to collect most of it, with only a few drops on the floor, none of the others had shot nearly as much. I was…impressed, almost like a display of dominance. I cast those thoughts aside as I let Thomas recover and finished up taking my notes and made sure to say “Don’t worry, we already collected your sperm sample for the study so you are all good to go, your clothes are in the cor-” I said and looked to see Thomas had already started getting dressed, his eyes downcast, ashamed.

“Thomas? What’s wrong?” I asked him, concerned.

“Professor…you said you took my sperm sample…what did that mean, exactly?” he asked.

“Oh, oh! I’m so sorry Thomas I forgot to mention it, we do it with all the other volunteers, see?” I said, indicating the row of three cups on the medical counter which all had sperm samples of the previous three volunteers…even George.

Thomas immediately lightened up a bit after that and started to pull his clothes back on, which seemed a shame as he truly was as beautiful as I imagined…not that I imagined it at all.

“Our next scheduled interview will be the same time tomorrow night, where we will go over the more extensive rules of this study, so be on time” I said, ignoring the aching need for release in my own pants. Thomas finished getting dressed and gave me a wan smile and said “Don’t worry, I’ll be here, can’t afford without that extra credit after all” he said. I showed him the way out and once the door had closed behind him, I immediately locked it because now…now I needed some release and started undoing my pants…

Thomas I couldn’t process what just happened, the hottest professor on campus now only just saw me naked but he actually jerked me off! No wonder the others looked so different when they came out…even George. I walked back towards my dorm building where Seb was waiting for me, it was already dark and the security guards were out on patrol but I didn’t care about any of it because I was slowly reaching a conclusion that in truth I already knew but I didn’t want to admit it. As I climbed the steps up towards my dorm, I braced myself because I had no idea how he would react and…he could get rather jealous at times. There was only one way to find out as I walked in and greeted my boyfriend with a smile, and he immediately leaped up towards me and planted a kiss on my cheek. I blushed and smiled at him but I told him I needed to tell him something. He sat on the couch as he waited for me to find the words, but it was…hard, much harder than I thought until I managed to blurt out “I think…I think I want to fuck Professor Ethan!” I said.

End of Part 2.

Author’s Note: Next chapter is going to see an escalation as Thomas attempts to navigate his burning desire to fuck his teacher and needing the extra credit to pass the class…elsewhere, jealous George is up to something new this time, but who is the target of his latest scheme? Find out the next chapter everyone!

Sally's Purcon Chronicles

(heads up, this is a long post)

I am on the last leg of my journey back home so I think it's the right time to write up what my experience at purcon 7 was like, as something I can look back on (because it's inevitable that time will fade some details) and maybe as a little guide to many first time congoers next year.

Purcon 7 was the first con for me too.

I met Misha on Friday evening for 'Cocktails with Castiel'. I was at a table with 9 other people and we got to talk to him about 10 minutes. He arrived late of course. Seeing him step into the room was the most surreal feeling, not going to lie. I think up until then my brain hadn't really comprehended properly that the actor man is real. He sat down at the table across the room and for a while my eyes were glued to him in a desperate attemt to make it familiar to my brain as quickly as possible that he existed in this space and was very much real. There were mostly female fans there so even though he was still a couple of tables away from us you could distinctly hear his deep voice amongs all the talk at times and I did cherish that.

I inquired further and it did very much sound like he was talking about my favourite Georgian dish, too. Which tbh almost made me cry on the spot but I pulled thru it to tell him that hearing this made me very happy because I've been watching Roadfood a lot and imagining what it would be like to see Georgian food featured there, even though I know that is highly unlikely since it's not that big of a deal in the US. This made him very sad and he got all 🥺 and apologized that there aren't many Georgian restaurants in US and looked like he was on the verge of crying so I assured him once again that it was fine and he couldn't do anything about it. (Though he had this 'you can see gears turning in his head' expression for a bit so I wouldn't totally exclude seeing Georgian cuisine on Roadfood in the future idk 😂).

When he finally got to our table, he said hi and sat down and our hellos were kinda delayed and everyone stopped talking for a bit (understandable xD) so he took it upon himself to get the conversation flowing and started asking where everyone was from. There were three people from France and they told him about their travel to Germany and how they hadn't had the time to sleep yet. I asked him how long his journey took and he said about 18 hours so I said "okay you win then. Mine was just 12". So he asked where I was from and I said Georgia and right away he asked me "Tbilisi?" [the name of the capital] and not gonna lie, I have huge respect for Misha and I know he is a clever fella but I never expected for him to know the name of the capital by heart and also pronounce it so damn correctly (honestly to this day I have never met a foreigner who doesn't butcher 'Tbilisi'). I was very impressed by this and a bit shocked tbh but I managed to get out 'yeah. Born and raised' so he of course asked what the situation was like in Georgia atm. I said that not that good, like in most places in the world rn. He wanted to know more so I said politically it's been complicated because of the influx of Russians and how the population of my city has grown twice because of that. Then I joked that he should come visit us to restore the balance, tbh I was desperate to keep the conversation flowing, and boy it was worth because the next thing he said was thee most insane thing that I could never have imagined in a thousand years: he told me he has been to Georgia, years ago! 🤯 And how the family he was staying with in Georgia cooked him one of the best meals he has had! in his ENTIRE LIFE!

This was the biggest chunck of out conversation. I know this is not something that will excite the general public here but it was damn special to me personally and I shall forever cherish this lil conversation with him 💗

I did also manage to revel to him that I had only ever seen Supernatural from S4 to the finale, so all his episodes exclusively and he said that was the only right way to watch it 😂

On Saturday I had a photo op with him. It was all very fast paced, so no proper exchange of words but I did get to watch him for a bit because he took a lil break before the person in front of me got their turn. It was very hot in the room so he drank some water, sanitized his hands and took a peppermint. When it was my turn he looked at me and highly likely recognized me from the day before so he winked at me and opened his arms and I just went straight into them and hugged him and he hughed me so so tight!!! 🥺 I was trying to remain respectful but the man wouldn't let me breathe 🤣

On Sunday, I got to ask him a question about the extra poem in Russian edition of his poetry book & we got to argue about the color of my pants 🤣

(thank you so much for this iconic pic, Bex ❤️)

Later I got my art signed. They were rushing the autos because Misha had a flight to catch so he was pretty stressed at autos. I jokely apologized for bringing it to his attention that something had gone 'wrong' with his book in Russian and he said no he was glad that I did bring that up and how he'd have to talk to his publisher about that actually. Asked him if I could give him a gift - a belt buckle. He said sure, so I did and in the rare moment of bravery I said I hoped he'd wear it and then winked at him 🤦‍♀️

I think this pretty much sums up my direct interractions with the actor man over the weekend.

I know M&G and alike are expensive as hell but if you can affort it I would say definitely get them. It's the only time you'll get with him up close and personal. As far as entrance tickets go, I had a weekend ticket for section 3 and for someone with bad eyesight it wasn't the best option, I wish I had been closer to the stage. All in all, if I had to categorize the extras as best to worst it would go like this:

- Cocktails with Castiel

- Photo Op

- Autograph (I believe autos usually give more time to talk to him and it was rushed just this one time because Misha needed to catch a plane)

Also: Yes, this is an 'actor centric' con but you will get to make new friend and finally see your online friends too which tbh makes this whole experience what it is! Shoutout to the wonderful @bexfangirlforlife @blanketforcas @deancrowleycas , I loved spending time with you so much! You made my first con experience very special 💕

DP x DC Smallville

Okay, I've been forming this theory for a while now, but this scene just cemented it:

The bottom of her boots? Fenton F??? There is no way you can't tell me those aren't Fenton-grade boots!

Hear me out. I have other evidence.

The principal in season 1 is a man of Asian decent named Kwan. Who else do we know named Kwan?

And to top it off, Smallville's Kwan has a son named Danny. Now obviously, his son isn't Fenton/Phantom, BUT assuming at least the class and maybe the entire town of Amity Park learns Danny's secret, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary that some of his classmates grow up and name a child after their town hero. Even if they never learn Danny's secret, Danny Fenton himself did lead the entire class against Ember and Youngblood, as well as exhibited other noble qualities, so it's not out of the question that at least one of his classmates had a child whom they named 'Danny'.

2. As discussed in this post, the whole 'Kryptonite-is-crystalized-Ectoplasm' theory. Now some of the more meticulous (me) might be wondering, 'if this theory holds up and Kryptonite-Ectoplasm is giving random people in Smallville super/ghost powers, then why didn't Amity Park have the same activity?' Why thank you, Skeptical Voice In My Head! I'll tell you why. First of all, Smallville has had 12 years-worth of exposure to the Kryptonite-Ectoplasm, that's why! During the course of Danny Phantom's runtime we only get to see ~1 year pass. 2 if we're being generous. In addition, despite having a literal portal to Hell the Infinite Realms open basically 24/7 in the town, along with near-daily/hourly ghost attacks, the citizens of Amity Park themselves do not seem to regularly come into contact with any form of Ectoplasm. Unlike in Smallville, where people are handling the stuff almost daily - hell, dozens of people just casually wear it as jewelry, and I guarantee more than 1 person has at least a meteorite rock or 2 in their home, as a keepsake. There is also a potential argument to be made about crystalized Ectoplasm-Kryptonite being more potent than the ambient radiation/gas/liquid stuff we see in Amity Park.

3. There is literally a canonical town near Smallville called Amityville. Enough said.

4. Which brings us to number 4. The Boots.

I propose that it is highly likely that Danny's class grew up through the events of Danny Phantom (sin Phantom Planet), and that Smallville takes place somewhere around ~25 years after the Portal opens. Kwan grew up to be a teacher, then principal, and named his son after Danny (whether he knew Danny's secret or not). Fenton Works continued on in some capacity, whether it's still the Dr's Fenton going at it or if Danny/Jazz inherited the family business, and at some point made a line of Fenton-grade combat boots. Heck, maybe Sam had a say in their design (it is the kind of thing she'd wear).

In addition, if this is ~25 years later, then Amity Park would be full of Liminals right now - probably keeping their nature on the down-low so the rest of the world doesn't know, or being held under a Team Phantom (Foley/Fenton/Technus) or GIW-mandated blackout. Either way, the general world knows Amity ParkVille exists, but not that Liminals live there (unlive?).

And because their exposure to Ectoplasm was much more gradual and they would have had enough cultural exposure to ghosts, they would adapt to their newfound Liminality powers much more effectively than the poor flash-exposured citizens of Smallville who end up insane because they can't handle the sudden influx of power they're granted. The citizens of Amity Park have the tech and know-how to deal with weird ectoplasm-induced ghost powers. They've seen and interacted with enough ghosts that the idea of Obsessions/Purposes/insert-headcanon-here isn't far-fetched and they'd know how to deal with it in a slightly more constructive way (or at least, be able to handle the ghostly aggression that Liminals seem to have, if Smallville is any indication).

SO, In Conclusion, Danny Phantom's Amity Park and Smallville are in the same universe, albeit DP is ~25 years ahead of Smallville's setting.

Just Saying.

#smallville #superman #dpxdc #amity park is amityville #and smallville and amityville are near each other #just saying #the POTENTIAL #THINK ABOUT IT!!!! #this could also lean into the 'Phantom was the First Hero' AU #wow this post was much longer than I thought it'd be #whoopsies! #time to go actually finish that episode now.....

I KNOW THIS IS JUST BRAIN ROT. I know it. Judge me not!!!

I saw a summary post of the current Batman arc ((Gotham War)) and my brain is full of bunnies so the panel of Jason having that panic attack (<- litcherally went to go find fic of this concept immediately after because HELL yes I want to see Jason suffering. Messed UP, Bruce!!!!!) BUT. The concept of a chip that makes you afraid whenever you feel adrenaline. Oh my god. Oh my god ❤️ fear toxin is already amazing. BUT THIS?? SO good. My tags have jason fic rambles but unfortunately I am Currently a Tim Drake stan first and foremost so my brain went:

Huh, Fake Anxieté? 👀 and was like concept: young!Tim's parents find out about his forays into Gotham and his slowly expanding Lack of fear to consequences (he's faced scarier in Gotham simply walking home from school! He's a teenager now and no teenager is able to understand their own mortality it's a literal Thing!), and thus he is Not being a Good and Obedient Young Son. They will Fix This. And so Tim gets chipped (oof don't think about the dog and leash metaphor in this thank you :)) and I like the angst of him not realising it. Having to deal with this sudden influx of anxiety, barely wanting to leave the house because he's started to get panic attacks when he goes out to photograph things, the human brain tries hard to protect itself. If you're constantly getting flooded by adrenaline and fear your neurological pathways adapt and tell you everything is bad.

And it's. He knows this isn't normal. Tries to get his parents to help, gets assistance from online pysch self-help, struggles so hard with it, and then Jason dying 👀 Tim deciding he has to do something even if he's terrified of the outside world. Using every trick he can to get Dick back in the game and when Dick scoffs and does that (I can't remember it verbatim) but the vibes of well if you think he needs a Robin so bad why aren't you volunteering? line. Bro. The angst.

ANYWAY because this is an au (even if using more fanon!tim characterisation 'cause. Chip) I'm also like. Make him fight scarecrow as his first bust.

...Tim literally stuck here in: I can't mode, but if he doesn't, Batman and Nightwing die- it's not even adrenaline that gets properly triggered by his chip anymore, as soon as any of it starts he just gets flooded with fear and his brain makes it so much worse. Alfred watching him have a total breakdown 🥰 <- bad. Being like Hm I think something is Wrong With This Child. And managing to help enough that Tim - who has spent YEARS battling his (fake, thanks parents) anxiety - powers through and then shakily collapses when he's home.

Also this is when Tim is like okay. This is so not normal. I just had a three day hallucination. And Also that felt a LOT like fear gas. Figuring out adrenaline is the trigger and trying to suppress it...oof. And the coping mechanism he uses to get through Robin is just. Completely shutting down. It is CREEPY to everyone else. There is a subsection of mooks terrified that Batman bought the old Robin back to life through his dark magic and that's why he goes from bubbly poking-Batman to Completely Silent and Darkness.

Alfred like: this young man has an anxiety disorder

Tim: something is greviously wrong and I can't bring it up with batman yet because this is an InternshipTM until Batman is able to function on his own but as I get better at being Robin I'm sure I'll figure out why my brain is so weird and Also how it is that I'm immune to scarecrow's gas (that's weird right?)

Nightwing: this kid is a wreck how on earth is he managing Bruce's mental health so well- oh yeah wait nevermind he probably has lots of help with his own. Hm. Let's make sure he doesn't get hurt- why on earth does he go through missions like a robot this is supposed to be fun and adrenaline inducing does he not like FUN????

Batman: Jason 😔

#batfam #bip bop nari drops #anyway it's STILL funny to me that the chip is basically a rip off of batman: TAS episode 19 #literally....scarecrow makes a slow acting toxin that activates when someone feels adrenaline and turns it into fear. #bruce has chip. turns adrenaline into fear. #bro? #ANYWAY THO LIKE ALSO THINKING ABT THE ANGST FIC POTENTIAL HETE TOO BC #like ofc jay will not stop #but MAN if he did get stuck. couldn't get it out. forced to bow to Bruce's whims and try and find some place safe far away #bruce being more. forceful abt relocating jason? #bro!!!!!! #tim drake #fic ideas i probably won't write

Hello genshin tumblr!

So, making good on my promise, i return to tell you about my first and main oc: Sigurd!

(Art made by the fantastic @the-fallen-aesthetics, go and show them some love! They're an incredible multi-fandom artist!)

Now, before i get into his backstory, I want to point out a small detail regarding his desogn: How, unlike most genshin characters, Sigurd appears to be masked (yes, I know Xiao, Freminet and Gaming all put on headwear during their bursts, but I dont count that). But, what if I told you that in fact, this is Sigurd's face? That Sigurd is not the man, but the mask?

So, with that narrative hook added to convince you read more, here's the gist:

In the mechanized kindom of Khaenri'ah, Sigurd still found himself by chance as the servant of an uncaring and almost sadistic master. Bruised and overwhelmed, Sigurd would eventually turn on his master, stealing a rusty hatchet from one of his master's many armories before promptly chopping him in half.

Eventually, Sigurd's crime was discovered, and so he was put on trial, with a mask over his face to indicate his sinner status and to prevent him the shame of being known. Though, as a result of some shady dealings between the court and an enigmatic acquaintance of Sigurd's, instead of finding himself in the gallows, Sigurd instead found himself in the dungeon, still wearing that same mask, although now, curiously...He was holding a greataxe.

For the punishment was, ironically enough, for Sigurd to continue engaging in the very crime that had put him there, though this time his victims were the worst of the worst. Sigurd was now a captive executioner.

Little did Khaenri'ah's court know, howevery that instead of providing Sigurd with repentance, they had instead created a monster.

After being locked up for so long in a dark, dusty tunnel surrounded by naught but corpses and sin, Sigurd began to go mad: In his eyes, he was no longer a criminal enduring punishment, but a righteous champion of justice who was graciously given the honor or disposing of the nation's filth.

In fact, it got so bad that, even when his sentence was up, the locks on Sigurd's dungeon grew ever stronger. The very people who prosecuted him grew so terrified of the violent lunatic stuck in their basement that they just started throwing the most banal of criminals at him, if only in hopes to keep him sated.

Eventually, the Cataclysm came. And Sigurd, now fully convinced of his noble purpose, thought it the perfect time to leave the dungeon in hopes of saving his people from the influx of monsters. Though, he never did reach the warzone, for an encounter with said enigmatic acquaintance lead to Sigurd's vision fading to black.

And yet, when a corrupt Garde named Lestat, desperate to avoid judgement for his actions, chanced upon a strange mask washed up on Fontaine's shores, he had no way of knowing that by dawning it (in hopes of using it as a disguise)...He would end up unleashing a madman with 500 years of built up vitriol.

So yea, thats about it. Had to rewrite this whole post once because im an idiot who forgot to hit save to drafts. But yea, hope you guys enjoy him, and my ask box is always open. I also originally had a fic go go along with it, but since i didnt quite like how it came out, its currently rotting in my notes app. However, should you folks like my little executioner, I might be more inclined to actually fully work on it (which I might do anyway, but im really not sure).

If you took the time to read all the way to hear, thank you so much and have an incredible day!

The Problem with Bluesky

So, I've been struggling with my anger over this for a week or so, and instead of a one-off post, I'm going to use Tumblr for what it was originally intended, and I'm going to write a blog post.

Yup. A whole-ass blog of a post.

Since Musk farted up and destroyed Twitter, there's been a huge influx to Threads and Bluesky (or, at least, for those who can get invite codes). Threads has been a mild experience, and I haven't seen very many trolls, or people with so much delusion that they see themselves as site-wide moderators.

You've probably guessed, in that latter statement, that I'm referencing Bluesky.

In the interest of keeping people with PTSD and other neurological issues safe, I will be mentioning these people by the names they use on bsky.app.

A little over a week ago, one of the handful of trans women I follow on Bluesky was trying to find more trans people to follow. A normal thing to do, since that's a practice we all see a lot of the time. The community is sometimes hard to scrape together.

Bennie (@bennie.gay) was someone I started following from the beginning. I thought she was kinda cool, despite the participation in the pollution of the timelines with senseless shitposting, as if we're all hanging out on Something Awful still, in the year 2023.

Previously, Bennie had been posting about not having enough money for food, and struggling, and this is how I came into contact with her. I gave her around twenty-five bucks with no expectations about it, so that she could feed herself. I don't say this as a way to say, "Man, this shouldn't have happened, I gave her money!" but more as a way to say, this person does not care at all about any of the people around her, even if said people do care.

Now we'll fast-forward back to the part I mentioned about Bennie making a post in an attempt to wrangle up other trans people. It wasn't the fact that she posted asking to find more trans people, or trans women specifically, it was that her post solicited other trans women by calling every single one of them "trannies."

As someone with a large background in dealing with hate, discrimination, being slurred, being accosted, being threatened, losing friends, losing jobs, being completely alone and to myself for years at a time, etc, etc. This isn't really something that's easy for me to see, let alone type in a long-winded explanation about why Bluesky is bad, and what's wrong with its biggest accounts.

Seeing this set my brain into a kind of panic, scorched Earth sort of mode, as it does, when you have specific neurological issues related to abuse and trauma. In as kind a way as I could muster, I told Bennie that maybe she shouldn't be posting actual slurs like this directly onto the timeline without any warning.

Enter: Backlash, lack of empathy, and "You can't police the words I use to identify myself with! We've reclaimed tranny! It's not bad anymore!"

I want to say that I've been dealing with people like this for a very long time, and when you come at me with this kind of extreme narcissism, and inability to sympathize, or empathize with those around you, it pisses me off. It makes me blood-curdling angry.

(See: the saga I was involved in being manipulated by Laurelai Bailey and threatened should I ever speak out against her)

It makes me even more angry, when your followers, or what I would call sycophants, come into my notifications to essentially tell me that my feelings don't matter, that I'm alone, and I have to deal with everything on my own, and nobody cares.

I don't know if these people decided that they're all incapable of empathy over my current state of not transitioning due to numerous life situations I happen to be in, or simply because I said, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't put this on the timeline without warning."

I could go into a whole spiel about how reclaiming slurs is a personal endeavor and it is never universal, you can never speak for millions of people, but that's a whole other point. A point that, if you don't understand in 2023, I'm just going to automatically assume that you're dangerous.

I told a few of her rabid followers to "Fuck off," or "Shut the fuck up," and then I blocked every single one of them.

But that wasn't the end of this. This is where the bad part of Bluesky comes in.

On Bluesky, you have the ability to craft public mute lists, lists that are available for everyone to see on your profile. And on this website, one specific trans community large-account-holder has somehow made a name for herself as some kind of pretend community moderator ... on a Twitter clone.

This might not seem bad just from that statement, because more social media websites could use a trans person as a moderator.

But it goes deeper than that.

Bennie and Kairi (@estrogenempress.gay) are involved with each other. To what extent, I don't know, and I don't care. Kairi runs multiple mute lists that many, many people subscribe to. Lists that describe themselves as lists for people who "scared the hoes," or "people with weird vibes" or just nasty people in-general.

Yes, I saw Bennie begging Kairi to put me on her mute lists. Her trans community, massive-following mute lists that got her interviewed by large tech media magazines.

This is the important part of my whole entire novel length rant: Public mute lists that can be subscribed to by complete strangers, without proper vetting, and much like the Blockbot of Twitter-past, are prone to abuse, in which they are often used to silence innocent people. Used to silence innocent people by malevolent agitators with an agenda.

I have spent years dealing with people like this, being silenced, denied any kind of platform, and largely due-in-part that I don't take bullshit, I have trauma that I deal with, and it's not unreasonable to ask someone not to put very real slurs in front of all of their follower's faces without warning. Whether they're using an offensive, violent slur as an identity marker, or not.

I used to feel this way about "queer," but I've come around on that topic. "Tranny" on the other hand serves no purpose other than to dehumanize, and it has been used against me numerous times while I was still actively able to transition. And I have a lot of trauma. No, that isn't her fault, or Kairi's fault, but it is their fault if they're not willing to listen, not willing to empathize, not willing to move even an inch on anything, and would rather resort to literal abuse.

But that's what you get when random people are allowed any modicum of "power" whatsoever.

And that's why, when all the dust settles, Bluesky will very likely not make the cut.

I would rather spend the next 10 years rebuilding my audience for my work on Threads, than struggle with disingenuous manipulators out to silence anyone and everyone who even so much as slightly disagrees with them.

And, if you're curious, these are the mute lists I've been subjected to, because I asked a random trans woman with a lot of followers to please not put "tranny" in my face.

I was watching some other youtubers and found a playlist of animated moments from some of their videos so I decided to look up some other animated letsplays and eventually wound up on Jack's animated videos playlist. I wasn't going to watch him at first because I didn't like swearing at the time. I eventually found the videos again a few months later and cracked myself up laughing and decided to subscribe then and there.

MAN i’ve been pretty on the fence about taehyung and jennie being real since the rumour originally started, mostly because it isn’t my business who he dates, and i just want him to be happy (also i’m a graphic designer/photo editor, and the original leaked photos had certain qualities that stood out as editing mistakes to me). i’ll be honest though, apart of me was relieved.. after he went to that possibly lgbt club in paris last summer, and all those photos he took with models came out, i noticed the speculation on his sexuality was at an all time high, and i was genuinely worried about him going to the military with those rumours surrounding him.. (to be clear, im lgbt myself, and would fully support him regardless of his sexuality, i just want him safe more than anything). but i feel like with every dating “update,” things become more and more WEIRD? we KNOW taehyung (and all the tannies) are extremely private regarding their personal lives, and they know HOW to be private. but it just seems like there is a steady influx of this dating content, and it somehow always coincides with blackpink’s activities (their comeback, the idol release, disbandment rumours..) and quite frankly, if jennie were posting the recent instagram photos as “confirmation,” i would think she and taehyung would’ve discussed it beforehand.. and i really don’t think taehyung would be okay with jennie posting those photos a day before jungkook’s first solo release, because i really doubt he would want his own dating life to be a distraction from his band mate’s accomplishment.. like we KNOW how important the rest of the tannies are to him.. this whole thing is just. really weird. i’d be more convinced they were dating if we hadn’t heard a peep since the first photo “leaks,” tbh. every time something new happens, i become less and less convinced this is a legitimate relationship.. and i’m not any kind of shipper haha, i am not actively looking for evidence to disprove this relationship. this whole thing is just… weird.

idk man. i’m not convinced either way, and it’s not my business who tae is dating (and i say this as someone who’s always liked blackpink and jennie, and wouldn’t have an issue with them actually dating). but the way this whole thing continues happening is just so, so strange, and i just worry about taehyung. i just hope he’s doing okay, regardless of what’s really going on. like. this is one HUNDRED percent me projecting also, and i’m aware of that, but in the celine photos that dropped right after the “hand holding pap walk,” he just… he looked like he was dealing with a lot. i just hope he’s okay.

venting here because i know you care about him and want him happy and safe too, so i thought you’d understand! thanks for letting me vent, haha.

wanna add to this that the articles abt yg, disbandment, and l//isa’s dating rumor disappeared and an article about tae and jennie just dropped straight to #1 trending… are we even surprised?

i agree with everything you said, all i want is him to be free from stalkers and from crazy narratives, i dont want his privacy invaded anymore and him being involved in companies tricks. all i care about is his safety his happiness and his artistry, thank you for sharing your thoughts anon! :)

#the celine picture made me so sad because he looked like he lost weight it was terrible #i just hope hes always fine #i actually don’t like that girl but this is before the whole rumor i have my reasons #have a good day whenever you wanna rant feel free #ask #taehyung

[daringdarlingdt]

Ok there’s been an influx of stranger things fandom posts coming across my dash bc of a few mutuals and I haven’t really interacted much with the fandom in the past despite liking the show, mostly because I watched it all a while after season 3 came out and all talk about it had kinda died down so I’m really excited about actually getting a bit hyper fixated on this and talking about my Thoughts. Yay!

On that note I have to say I am unsurprised and delighted at all the queer shipping going on and I will never deny a queer ship to those who want it but I must admit that I don’t really bc Steve as queer. I 100% think Eddie is and I think they’re besties and I get the impulse to hc Steve as queer in some way because he is The Best Character and it would just be great if he were representing you and he totally could be queer and I want y’all to be happy with your gay or bi or anything else Steve hc but headcanoning him as straight actually makes me personally the happiest. For two reasons.

1. I’m in love with him. I myself am bi and not even fully a female person and if I did headcanon him as queer I think he’d be bi but then I’d want to imagine him and Eddie as a thing and I’d rather fantasize about dating him myself… y’know?

2. I actually think it’s so much more satisfying and endearing that he is a straight, able-bodied, affluent white man and is still the best character because he wasn’t when he started but he went through this character arc where he stopped catering so much to the expectations put on him by his social status and became a really wholesome, accepting, maternal, un-toxic guy who rolls with the lgbt and regularly parents a bunch of freshman all while maintaining his perfect hair and being a ladies man. D’you know what I mean?? Like it’s important that Steve is able to be both a cishet fairly masculine guy and also stand with a towel over his shoulder, hands on hips, telling his adopted children ‘no, because I said so’ and also immediately support his best friend/crush when she comes out to him and not out her to anyone else btw even when everyone’s like why aren’t you dating her?? I know it’s the bare minimum but still it’s important.

Plus i don’t think the lesbian/himbo solidarity is quite as funny and iconic if the himbo is also queer because then it’s just queer solidarity and like. That’s important and good too it’s just not the same. And I recognize that the complexity and focus on Steve’s character is why he would be such good queer representation and lots of straight characters have these qualities and are given this depth but even on the show the other canon queer characters are given a fair amount of stuff that they have to deal with and there are other non-canon characters I believe are queer who are also complex. Like Eddie. That one tumblr post is right he could have been pretty stereotypical but instead he is both soft and cool and brash and also terrified a lot and reconciling the image of Cool Guy Steve with the fact that he’s actually an amazing person and becoming friends with him and dealing with high school biases and the feeling of needing to be morally superior than other cliques and realizing its all bullshit. That’s really interesting. And he’s gay (at least I think so). I also believe that Max is somewhere under the bisexual umbrella. Possibly pan idk. I think she would kiss a girl without a moment’s hesitation because she’s just awesome like that.

All that having been said. I do still ship Steddie a little bit on the DL. Like if I see a post about them. I will like it. It will make me smile and if it’s really good or has anything to do with Steve and Robin’s friendship, I may even reblog it. I ship Steddie and believe Steve is straight simultaneously. My feelings aren’t that strong either way and whichever brings me more joy in the moment will rule. This is just my explanation for why I’m fine with him being the token straight friend. But as I said before I never deny a queer ship unless there is something seriously wrong with it. So like go off little gay ppl in my phone watching this truly fucked up show about teens fighting interdimensional monsters and only focusing on the teens personal drama. I feel you.

once again. no one said that men everywhere don't commit acts of violence. you're ignoring the points i actually made in favor of shifting the focus to italian men. that's not good form.

i pointed out how misogynistic cultures and instability increase male violence. i will give it to you that italy has a misogynistic culture, but to go on and on about italian statistics without comparing them to the rates of the middle eastern and north african countries doesn't really touch my argument. especially when you take into account the instability i mentioned.

i'm not saying to ban all immigrants and leave them to rot. i genuinely would like to help people while ensuring the safety of everyone involved, and i was curious if you had any ideas or views on that. i find it disappointing, that to you it's not worth addressing the impact of immigration while european men are already violent.

if the only two stances acknowledged are "immigration isn't a problem, don't even question it" and "ban all immigration, it's dangerous and destructive" then there will be no productive conversation on how to actually address the reality of the situation.

the statistics showed that it's not more likely for an italian woman to be raped by an immigrant, so the large influx of migrants does not exactly correlate to the number of sexual assaults committed in italy, although italian women are more likely to report if the perpetrator is not italian.

i am trying to stick to the original conversation, which was about meloni's politics about immigration. i disagreed with an anon telling me that closing all borders would be the solution because an influx of immigrants from asia and africa would "degrade european women's condition", mostly because the wording was saturated with racist and xenophobic rhetoric. i take issue with the implication that since a man comes from africa he would be more likely to commit violence against women. we must not overlook cultural differences when it comes to misogyny but i don't see why it's automatically assumed, for them but not for other men of any other nationality, that they would have leeway to behave as they used to in their country without facing any punishment. especially when they actually face more punishment than italians when they commit sexual violence or theft or drug dealing.

where did i say that immigration is not a problem? you can look through my other posts and see that i have agreed with some solutions that other people have presented me (like psychological evaluations upon entering italy) and that i have said that since a lot of people's arguments boiled down to male violence being the problem then we should focus on that as a whole instead of only bringing it up when it pertains to men of color.

dont rb / on a very genuine level tho it is, like, kinda tiresome whenever ppl tell you ur using a social media site "incorrectly"... and obviously im not talking abt genuinely hurtful stuff, yknow? and furthermore- yes, i recognise some like genuine problems tht can arise, but ultimately like... i do not think its constructive as it is to always get. mad at ppl. for like.... not doing what you want them to. especially when it comes to projecting intentions onto those ppl. do you know wht i mean. -_-

you know that we'll win

summary: Oikawa x Figure Skater!Reader. A summer sport player shows up at the winter games, sowing seeds of discord via social media lives. Sequel to this, but can be read as a standalone.

word count: 1.8k

cw: bad jokes, oikawa being cringe, subplot where hanamaki becomes an influencer

a/n: i'm so tired from staying up to write this it literally hurts wtf. anyway this was inspired by 💎 and i finally got around to it. diamond anon if you're still out there i miss you i love you

“Hello, Beijing!” Oikawa waves at his phone, which is propped up haphazardly by a half-eaten tray of airplane orange chicken, four safety pamphlets, and hope, his smile so wide it threatens to break his face in half.

“Hello, hello. I’ve just landed, we’re about to get off the plane, I just wanted to pop on and film a little something! And say hi!” Over his shoulder, the headless torso of internationally renowned best friend and Japanese volleyball athletic trainer Iwaizumi Hajime can be seen behind Oikawa’s headrest, lifting a carry-on suitcase. Something his phone doesn’t quite pick up is barked at the setter, who sticks out his tongue in an aside to the camera but apparently complies. “I have to go because Iwa-chan needs help carrying things, as if his biceps aren’t the size of his head— don’t drop it on me! No! No! I’m getting up!” Oikawa, Olympic medalist and, in his spare time, supermodel, shrieks indignantly as he reaches up to grasp the luggage before it can crush his skull or, worse, his obscenely expensive haircut. “I’ll talk to you later,” he beams at the camera, his straining arms displaying not unimpressive muscle definition in what looks like an uncomfortable position for mere mortals, which Oikawa is not. “Peace out!”

OIKAWA begins trending on Twitter within minutes as fans theorize about the volley-star’s unexpected appearance at the Winter games, two days ahead of the Olympic opening ceremony.

The live screen opens to the image of Oikawa, now buried beneath a blue beanie and lit poorly from a combination of flash and tunnel lighting. Comments roll in about the smoothness of his skin even without any of the usual gimmicks, which he brushes off with a combination of self-satisfied pride and genuine gratitude.

“Yeah, it’s cold here,” he points at his hat. “Not so much in the car, but I like the hat they gave me. Gotta represent, you know?”

“Represent what?” The voice comes from offscreen. The camera swivels to face the two men he’s squished in with. One wears a cap with Oikawa’s cartoonified face printed onto it, while the other has a crown spelling out his name. Both have matching skinny blue sunglasses, though the one with the cap wears them perched over his brim. Diehard fans will recognize them as former teammates Hanamaki Takahiro and Matsukawa Issei from the depths of his Instagram, which features three thousand and seventy-eight posts, dating back to the time he was sixteen. They are also recent viral sensations in their own right for a TikTok video that garnered over a million likes and secured a number of brand deals for Takahiro “Makki” Hanamaki— a lucky break for the influencer, as he was fired in the process of making the TikTok.

“I’m just representing,” sighs Oikawa. A second later, he looks down at the screen, tapping through the influx of comments. “How am I doing? I’m doing great, really, nothing like the Games. Yeah, I can say that. Happy birthday, Ariana. Happy birthday, Jia. Show Iwaizumi’s back muscles? He puts them all over the Internet himself, all his handles are iwaizumihajime04, because he peaked in high school.”

“I will crash this car,” threatens the driver, who is revealed upon closer look to be the very man.

“Don’t crash the car,” complains Matsukawa. “My cat is being babysat by my little sister and she’s not responsible enough to have her forever.”

“Iwa-chan can’t show you his back muscles because he’s driving,” Oikawa continues chatting. “Why are you in Beijing? For the Olympics, silly.”

Light floods the car as they finally exit the tunnel, bathing Oikawa in a natural glow and illuminating his shining brown eyes.

“No, I’m not competing,” he frowns at the camera. “Even though these two fans are wearing their merch—” a chorus of protests sounds beside him, and he cups the phone in his hand as though it will protect listeners from the flood of denial— “I’m loyal to volleyball. I’m just here to cheer on a friend!”

“Some friend,” snorts Hanamaki, and the screen goes dead.

OIKAWA: Trending with #somefriend, #olympicmindgames, tooru live

“Hi, guys,” Oikawa makes a peace sign up at the camera, winking and posing. “Sorry for hanging up on you earlier, someone knocked my phone out of my hand, but anyway we’re checked in at the hotel and now we’re waiting for a car to take us to the village! No, I can’t tell you what hotel we’re at. Everyone’s really nice, though, some people have even recognized me! We’re in a rush so I can’t chat for long, which I feel bad about. No, I’m not surprising my friend, I think I’m not even allowed to do surprises at the Olympics. They know I’m coming. Hopefully, you’re watching this video, but you’re not, because you don’t even care about social media or me or anyone in this cold, cruel world. Please text me back. I miss you. I love you.” For a moment, his tone is indecipherable: a joke or a true plea? Thousands will debate it while his publicity managers cry at their desks.

A honk sounds, clearly startling Oikawa.

“Gotta go, guys, see you in the village!”

BREAKING: Oikawa Tooru hints at Beijing Olympian significant other; the market mourns the loss of 2021’s most-wanted Japanese-Argentinian bachelor.

“Shittykawa, what are you doing?” The video quality is blurry, perhaps because the holder is moving quickly. “Stop running away! Where are you going? Tooru!”

The bellow is muted by distance, and quickly, a shut door. A grinning Oikawa comes into frame, breathing quickly.

“So I know I said no surprises, but I’m in your dorm,” he says to his three million followers as if they were you. “And you’re not back from practice yet. So now we wait.”

The viewers watch as he tests the bed (smart), the flag up on the wall (unstable), the charging station (a tripping hazard). By now, they’ve determined the team, and the comments come in too quickly to read as people beg for more information to pick apart. A few of your teammates pass through, revealing the sport, and don’t seem at all fazed by the presence of some guy in your space.

One approaches him to ask him to give you a message, then hugs him and pats him on the back, prompting a flurry of guesses, but when he bends down to the camera and mouths it’s happeningggg, the audience finds themselves deterred yet again.

The final agonizing minutes before your arrival are spent sitting on your bed, legs swinging, eating your reserve snacks. His heartbeat picks up with every footfall he can hear from outside, every entry into the outer apartments. His lips are bitten pink and raw from needless nerves.

The handle turns. The door clicks open.

Enter you, stage right. Your head is turned back, still caught in conversation with someone outside, but your mouth snaps shut when you see him, staring at you helplessly like he’s a pining wreck all over again.

“I missed you,” you say his name and it’s the first blush of spring and it’s the sweet scent of citrus, and he lunges for the phone to turn the camera off.

You’re still clad in your uniform, sweats pulled over your lower half, barely diminishing the effect your legs and abdominals and neck have on him. He’s free to look and touch and taste, now, but he rushes into your embrace first and foremost.

You collide in the middle, his arms wrapping around your waist and your legs interlocking at the ankles around his thighs. You two stay like that for as long as you can, even collapsing onto the bed when he can’t hold you up any longer. He pets you softly and you shriek wordlessly into his neck, venting all the frustration and excitement and anxiety you’re feeling.

“It’s okay,” he soothes. “I know.”

“I know,” you mumble. “It’s so crazy. It’s always so crazy.”

“Good crazy or bad?” He asks, pecking you on the forehead.

“Good,” you say, scrunching up your face. “Always good. Did you see that I got better gifts than you?”

“You didn’t,” he gasps, but the smile on his face is unflagging. “You better share with me.”

“I will,” you roll your eyes. “It all goes back to the same house, you know that, right?”

“Mm,” he considers. “Say it again.”

“As of six months ago, we live together,” you laugh. “And, if what I heard outside is true, you just told the whole world about it.”

“I didn’t say that,” he rolls his eyes. “We were gonna do it during this trip, anyway. It was more fun than during a press conference.”

“I’m not blaming you, I’m glad, I’m just saying,” you poke your tongue out, accidentally licking his cheek. “Ew.”

“Ewww.” He licks a stripe up your cheek.

“Get off,” you try to push off of him with the effort of a baby koala. “Ugh, fine.”

“You’re fine,” he teases. You groan at his cheesy tone. “Can I take you out after you win gold?”

“I’ll be busy,” you grumble.

“Oh yeah? With what?”

“I went to McDonalds after the last Olympics and it was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life,” you say, closing your eyes in bliss at the memory.

“You weren’t even competing, dork. I took you there.”

“Did you?”

“Rude,” he licks you again.

“Stop that!”

“I’ve put my tongue worse places.”

“Oh, my god, stop that.”

“Make me.”

You do. Thoroughly. Over and over again until his friends break into the room, complaining about runaway volleyball players and interminable mazes and something about the Japanese ice skaters.

That day, Oikawa makes a post. First is a selfie of himself in the stands of the rink, beaming while you hold up a peace sign down on the ice. Second is a more artistic shot of him watching you, his chin propped on his hand and his lips parted while you lift a leg up past your head. Third is a photo of you (three-time Olympic figure skater) and Oikawa (three-time Olympic figure skater’s biggest fan) kissing in front of a banner held up by two men in TOORU hats. The photographer is rumored to be Iwaizumi Hajime, but wearing a hat with your name on it. This rumor is not supported by the press and those who repeat it are liable to be sued for libel. The caption reads:

“I’m never gonna shut up about this and I don’t apologize. #Baejing2022.”

I Have a Bone to Pick With Some of You

You know who you are: the ones complaining about the sudden changes to Sam's design. Complaining about Artemiy's name change, the ones complaining the slang. I have a bone to pick with all of you.

But first I'm starting off with Sam's design change:

I never thought I'd have to say this shit, but, Caribbean, African American, and a litany of Poc players exist in the TWST Fandom, and I'm one of them.

Like I genuinely never thought I'd have to say this however, since twst seems to have an infestation of people who are very smooth brained and have never written a research paper to save their lives I can see why misinformation is so rampant in the twst Fandom with the most prevalent being the outrage surrounding Kalim considering Jamil like a brother to him and yet somehow someone managing to spread the idea that they were cousins.

Seeing yall type on yall lil keyboards whining about how Sam's design change, however miniscule, forever kills me because of course people who aren't affected by racist caricatures of afro-haitian culture would whine and moan about how the bastardization of that culture not being perpetuated in the English release as if America is just full of white people and poc people are just some hallucination.

For the love of all things heavenly, this man is literally based off of Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog, a movie set in New Orleans a place rife with Caribbean and Haitian immigrants.

Yet somehow yall managed to skimp over the idea that this culture exists in lieu of complaining on the internet about an already continously bastardized culture because ur underated husbando didn't have his signature bone get up.

Because of course, people of zero color can appreciate, appropriate, and bastardize it at their leisure because they know they'll never face the consequences.

Honestly, anyone with a modicum of a braincell would've seen this coming especially since Dr. Facilier had multiple article pertaining to how his portrayl and usage of Haitian Vodou was harmful.

Here's one:

The localization team knew that keeping Sam as a racist caricature added nothing to the story whatsoever so it was better to change it.

Yet somehow the smooth brained brigade managed to find a way to gripe about that.

As @najmaviper said, it would be better to skip the Fairy Gala event altogether because dealing with another exotic debate on this God forsaken app with this influx of white girls who think fantasizing about edgy highschool anime boys would end up sinking this dumpsterfire of a Fandom even further into the pits of hell.

I've already made a couple of posts defending Artemiy's (артемий) good name because not only does it make sense but his nickname in Russian would've been Tyoma leading to Tyomeow .

And I'm eternally grateful they didn't pull that because yall could barely handle Thaumarks, Signature Spells, and the internet slang.

The amount of posts I still sift through about how Cater's usage of internet slang or Idia's gamer slang being incorrect makes me want to tear the wooden floorboards of my kitchen and replace it with carpet.

Floyd saying "Yeet" had yall in shambles as if this dude isn't the type to moan in your in ear while your shopping for groceries and fight you in a gas station parking lot wearing a sweater.

Like I'm being real when I tell you if you talked to your younger sibs/cousins or went to Cali you'd hear this slang being used unabashedly. Like for real, go outside and talk to people because I promise you internet slang will slip out faster than shit after a laxative.

My mom literally said, "You're not that girl," on the phone to her cousin. My brother called me a fucking beta cause I wouldn't let him borrow my charger.

And if you've been around teen age boy you know that some of the shit they say makes zero sense with or without context so yall reactions to twst en made zero sense to me.

#twst sam #twst #twisted wonderland #long post #it needed to be said #better late than never #this is to the twst vets and the new twst peeps #no one is safe

BnHA Chapter 328: Pandora’s Box of Discourse

Previously on BnHA: DEKU TOOK A BATH.

Today on BnHA: 

Also Naomasa grew a beard. Goddamn. 

please let this be a cool chapter that plays nice with my ADHD lol

(ETA: lol I feel guilty because a lot of people hated this chapter, but I’m just happy there was a lot of stuff to make fun of, and also that I have another week to work on my backlog of meta posts since the kids were MIA.)

around one month ago?? ah, okay, so we’re gonna find out what was in that Tartarus security file huh

I love that they just randomly set the place on fire

was it necessary to do this in order to escape? no. was it a good idea to set the island they were occupying on fire while they were in the midst of still occupying it? uh. was it cinematic as fuck? fuck yeah

wow it’s a pervert!!

that’s so great that the villains set loose this fine fellow who I’m sure is definitely not a serial rapist. truly the LoV is so noble and misunderstood. they’re just trying to free society from its chains people

oh my god??!

SHANKED!!! oh my god I cheered for Stain before I realized what I was doing. time to have an identity crisis I guess

so he’s all “hey what’s going on.” which, while a respectable question, is something I personally would have waited to ask until I had put a bit of distance between myself and the fiery murder island. but that’s just my personal preference

Stain you really are tenacious I’ll give you that

“what’s the point of escaping prison if you’re not gonna be smart about it” well shit. anyways yeah you’re dead right, society is in the process of collapsing and the outside world is in total chaos, good call there

oh shit

I mean it’s not like we really expecting anything otherwise, but still. fucking brutal. I feel like these guys’ fates were decided the minute that one guy called AFO “scum” back in chapter 94. AFO is unmatched at getting long-term revenge

??

ahh, was it the security footage??

fdsdfk he’s still alive??

and he’s immediately launching into an inappropriately theatrical monologue even as the darkness closes in on him fdlfksjdlk. you know, was it ever confirmed that the other guy back in chapter 297 was Seiji’s dad? I’m just saying

very impressed that he’s still coherent enough to weigh the pros and cons before making the decision to gamble on giving this info to Stain, who at the very least has his own moral code and isn’t allied with AFO. it was definitely still a risk, but as we now know it was also the right call

what a weird alliance. so Stain tells him that he’ll give it to a just person, and the guy is all,

okay for real though I’m gonna need someone to run a DNA test on this guy. maybe it was some kind of cuckold situation?? the other guy had the family resemblance, but this guy absolutely 100% raised Shishikura Seiji and you are not going to convince me otherwise

anyway, so Stain is all,

PRISON GUARD: “???? ??????? what the hell. what the fuck does that fucking mean. I’m dying here, jesus christ, whatever man fuck you”

(ETA: I kind of feel like this might have been Stain’s last appearance in the manga, given all the fanfare. there’s not really much else he can do for the story at this point, and he seems to have gotten all the character development Horikoshi was planning on giving him. so if this really is it, hasta la vista and good riddance I guess.)

DWLFDKSLDK MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE

(ETA: I feel like this is meant to be evocative of that Sermon on the Mount painting, but in a really fucked up way lol.)

if it were me stumbling upon this scene I would just shake my head and walk right back into the flaming building. not getting involved in that mess. sorry not sorry. I’ll take my chances with the fire, especially given that it’s half-assed neutered BnHA fire lol

blah blah blah and so he decided to pass the info on to All Might -- HOT DAMN, HOLY SHIT

NAOMASA HOLY SHIT. THE APOCALYPSE LOOKS GOOD ON YOU, BOY

“I really like that facial scruff thing Aizawa’s got going on, I think I’m gonna get in on that” yes sir. “also thinking of ditching the tie in favor of the bulletproof vest look. also thinking of getting totally fucking jacked.” good lord. except I’m pretty sure that’s just body armor, but also I don’t care. anyway I should probably stop staring and actually read the fucking speech bubbles here lol

“All Might first handed this information over to Nao, and then went to see Deku, and then came back to Nao” thanks for that tidy little summary Horikoshi. we are capable of piecing events together in sequential order, I just want you to know that. but thank you

“so has Deku finally gotten a bath? also, sucks that Stain saved the day, but what are you gonna do” Nao I missed you so fucking much and didn’t even realize. how am I just now realizing that you are the perfect man

for a second I was gonna ask why Tartarus’s security systems would be cut off from the outside world, and then I remembered that’s a basic security control, and then I actually got impressed by how sensible that is. like, it’s been a while since I could genuinely say that the good guys (excluding class 1-A) did something smart. not that it helped them much in the end, but still

anyway so they’re talking about how AFO was able to coordinate the attack by communicating between his horcrux self on the outside and his ugly peanut-faced self on the inside

huh

okay you have my attention. I am taking notes here lol please continue

ah okay so he says that prior to Jakku, the transfer of information between him and his Vestige self was only one-way. but post-Jakku when Deku was in the hospital, he was able to tell what was happening inside the OFA Radical Lisa Frank Dead People Book Club Realm when he touched him. I feel like we established that before, actually. but he didn’t talk about how it actually felt, though

boy we already know this lol. yes AFO can talk with his horcrux self. and he can also communicate with his little bro in OFA too, let’s talk about that sometime why don’t we. what exactly does that imply, based on the rules we’ve established here

my god I cannot get over Naomasa and his fucking facial hair

no wonder All Might was in such a hurry to leave Deku and get back here

like I have no idea what this radio waves nonsense is but my god, people

that jawline. also so it’s a quirk, I see. except last I checked Deku didn’t have a radio waves quirk, so that doesn’t really explain his connection to AFO. but whatever, hopefully we’re at least getting closer to some kind of reveal here

(ETA: since I sometimes forget that other people’s lives don’t revolve around my theory posts, here are the two relevant links if you by chance want to know my thoughts about this.

Hagakure is still The U.A. Traitor™ regardless of whether Deku is passing information on to AFO through his psychic link, which he almost certainly is.

speaking of said psychic link, Deku is a horcrux.

just posting these now, because whenever trippy OFA stuff happens I tend to get an influx of theory asks. so hopefully this will be a bit of a time saver lol.)

-- wait, what

THAT’S what the recording was??!? holy SHIT. I genuinely was not expecting that. y’all wiretapped his fucking telepathy. fucking quirks, man. wild

AND THEY USED THAT POWER TO DETERMINE WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW, HUZZAH. GOOD SHOW

-- oh shit wait lol, except I forgot we’re not talking about 38 days from the present, we’re talking about 38 days from the date the conversation was recorded. heh. um

yeah that’s the face I would make too if All Fucking Might just casually told me we had eight days left until the end times

oh, pardon me. three fucking days

r.i.p. anyone who thought we were going to have another band arc sob. I sure hope Deku is enjoying that nap

(ETA: I realize people were hoping for a longer rest period here, but given that the man warned us all the way back in chapter 306 that we were entering the final act, you can’t really blame him too much when that turns out to be true. anyway but I do recognize that we’ve reached the point in the story where this kind of discourse is going to become a weekly occurrence, simply because there’s no possible way for Horikoshi’s actual endgame to line up perfectly with the variable headcanons of millions of fans, all of whom have wildly differing and in many cases contradictory expectations which can’t possibly all be fulfilled. anyway, so I’m already bracing myself for that lol. this coming year is going to be a wild ride.)

damn, U.A. out here looking like the motherfucking United Nations

-- is this U.A.?? I actually just realized, U.A. is four interconnected buildings, not two. wait holy shit is this Shiketsu?

wait holy SHIT

based on the overwhelmingly powerful vibes of bureaucratic incompetence, I’m thinking this really is the (future) U.N., or whatever organization it is that deals with international hero stuff

“just let them handle it themselves I’m sure they’ll be fine” yeah okay, thanks guys. appreciate it

wait oh shit did he say that it’s not just Japan?

soooo, what you’re telling me is that AFO is this close to bringing about the end of not just Japan, but the entire world, and you guys don’t think it’s a good idea to help the Japanese heroes stop him? so, genuine follow-up question: are you guys already planning your rich people exodus into space a la Wall-E, and that’s why you don’t give a fuck?? like, what??

omg international heroes

these guys are from World Hoodie Mission, right? is this Horikoshi’s way of reminding me to buy tickets

(ETA: and it worked too lol.)

WHO??? WHAT???

don’t tell me you’re introducing yet another badass new female character for me to fall in love with only to watch as you dismember them and/or blow them up, Horikoshi. I’m getting tired of playing this game my dude. don’t lie and tell me this time will be different. we’re not doing this again goddammit

noooooooooooooooooooo

god fucking dammit lmao. [sighs and rips the previous paragraph into shreds]

on behalf of Americans I apologize for our superheroes always being Like This

I also apologize because I love her already and I’m gonna be shameless about it. so fucking shameless you guys

is her fucking hair red white and blue. it is, isn’t it

this is the volume cliffhanger, 100% lol. it will take every ounce of Horikoshi’s willpower not to put her on the volume cover. he’ll have to settle for the spine or the inner cover this time because Deku VS his class 1-a superpals takes precedence. but it will be a close thing let me tell you

tbh it’s that smile that does it for me. she’s definitely All Might’s protege. get out there and show them how it’s done girl. and maybe call Salaam and BRD and see if you can’t convince them to play hooky from their governments as well. why not. world’s ending in three days you guys. “sorry, I’m busy this weekend” ain’t gonna cut it lol

so while I am not fully caught up with Vigilantes, I have read far enough to know that there’s an American hero named Captain Celebrity whose superpower from what I recall is being a humongous douchebag. and while I haven’t read far enough to know what happens to this guy, I can’t say I’m very disappointed to learn that he’s no longer the number one hero in the U.S. (actually, didn’t they kick him out and that’s why he moved to Japan to begin with?). anyway, so my thanks to Horikoshi for having a marginally higher opinion of Americans than Furuhashi, even though we have definitely not done anything to warrant said opinion lately, and you may have inadvertently opened the door to a pandora’s box of discourse lmao

(ETA: lol I went into the tags and they don’t disappoint. “why is she dressed like a flag” because she’s an homage to Captain America and Major Victory and literally every other character on this list. again, I apologize for fictional American superheroes being Like This. “oh boy another thicc waifu to make the fanboys happy” look, tumblr fandom never seems to have a problem thirsting over Dabi or Tomura or Aizawa or Nao, lol, I’m just saying. “where is Captain Celebrity” idk, probably murdered by the exploding bee cartel, let’s just be grateful for our good fortune and try not to Beetlejuice the man.)

anyway, so let’s see if Horikoshi’s recent character development with regards to making Mineta not terrible anymore will apply to other aspects of his writing as well. I know I was making light of discourse just now, but I do think the complaints about him introducing yet another new character at the 11th hour to be cannon fodder in the final battle are absolutely valid. and again, it wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t keep maiming/killing off his female characters one by one instead of developing them and letting them kick ass long-term. but that said, I will never complain about Horikoshi adding another female character to the series, regardless of how clumsy the attempt may be. go ahead and pander away, just give us more girl power lol

anyway so we’ll see how it goes, but I think I’m gonna be optimistic and let myself hope once again, even though I’m probably gonna regret it lol. it is what it is. she is standing on an airplane just chilling for fuck’s sake. I’m only human. anyway fingers crossed
