a personal struggle + an education

this is all just gigi's opinions + thoughts

Reader, I'm struggling with empathy right now.

Don't worry, I'm not suffering from a personality pathology, I promise I am quite sympathetic and empathetic. It's just battling the feeling of wanting to be kind but also seeing a major problem and knowing I need to get it off my chest.

Let me give it to yall straight (with tweaked/paraphrased details to protect privacy and not to out anyone):

I saw a favorite loass coach/twt account/subliminal creator make fun of an "old timey" English sentence either from Neville Goddard or Edward Art. They proceeded to say that they "hate" it and "why can't they just say it simpler". and then someone else commented "they're talking bullshit fr".

The convo thread on twt devolved into an echo chamber that essentially boiled down to the old fool's adage "If I don't understand it, it must be stupid and not worth it."

This really triggered me because

The phrase quoted was not that hard to understand.

It was clear these women were not educated

Why am I judging or mad at people for their ignorance? (this is why I kept quiet on twt and went here to vent. I acknowledge that two things can be true, I can be kind and still be honest.)

I was and currently am still wrestling with these things within me.

On one hand I don't want to judge. I want to be inclusive and welcoming and supportive.

On the other hand - yall don't look educated, yall wind up looking dumb.

I'll say a harsh truth yall and you can go argue with a damn wall but I know I'm right: stupidity is not cute.

My Hot Take (not so hot when you think about it)

The Law of Assumption rewards those who feed their mind with knowledge

Before you argue with me, think about it. Seriously.

I don't want to seem ableist if someone suffers from dyslexia or if someone struggles in school. It's totally okay to have different paths to learning. The importance is still obtaining the information. You can read or listen to the audiobook, etc. The paths to knowledge are varied but in the end the result is the same - THE KNOWING.

The "old timey" sentence that the creator complained about COULD BE READ BY NINTH GRADERS BECAUSE OF SHAKESPEARE EXPOSURE.

That's why I was exasperated. They were complaining about English (the only language in which they are fluent) that is regularly taught to 14 year olds.

Guys. Stand up. Please stand the fuck up.

Who in this world is gonna take you seriously without BASIC COMPETENCY in literature or math?

Lemme roast some of yall if you want to disagree:

Yall wanna be master manifesters and claim to understand the double slit experiment but can't even name the fundamental laws of science or explain them.

Yall wanna be successful in your businesses and don't know how to calculate your profits.

Yall wanna be seen as intellectuals who "understand" more than the majority of the population and yall can't even fucking read Descartes or Shakespeare.

Yall wanna be content creators and don't know how to proofread.

One time I bought an affirmation tape that came with a pdf with all the affirmations listed. The tape itself was excellent but the pdf was riddled with errors! It makes me sad because something that can help change your life, like a sleep tape to saturate, "cheapens" in its authenticity at the price of minor errors. Sigh.

Let me tell you that 100% you can be successful in this world just by going to the end and claiming it.

BUT YOU LOSE A LOT OF TREASURE BY NOT GIVING YOURSELF THE TOOLS TO DIG FOR IT.

THERE IS SO MUCH FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION WITHIN THESE "OLD TIMEY" TEXTS.

and if you don't like any of it and just wanna watch sammy ingram and manifest like that THEN GO AHEAD BUT DONT CLAIM TO NOT UNDERSTAND A SENTENCE AND THEN CALL IT BULLSHIT.

just be honest and own it!

be honest that you don't wanna read, that you don't wanna be academic and that's 100% okay and you're still beautiful and worth everything but

do not put down the value of what is being said just because you don't understand it

That's why I am frustrated, reader.

I am educated enough to recognize when someone's ignorance is just that - ignorance.

But I am human enough to be annoyed.

So please give yourselves some grace and take the time to appreciate knowledge. Without the knowledge of the law of assumption, we wouldn't all be here interacting with one another.

xx, gigi

p.s. for those of you who are more familiar with reading the Bible via the law of assumption lens - I beg you to think of Solomon. He was asked by God what he would like and Solomon chose wisdom over material things. Why is that? Because through wisdom comes the ability to know how to obtain all one's desires. Food for thought.

you said that you "need 2 characters to deeply care for each other and positively impact each other for me to want to ship them" so which of the twdg canon ships do you actually think work/make sense? and by canon ships i mean like actual established relationships, implied relationships or perhaps a character that was crushing on someone else before death.

me immediately blanking on every relationship in twdg upon reading this ask

the only one i stand behind with conviction is clemvi. idk if you need me to explain why i feel like ive done it a million times by now 👀 but yeah theyre the only relationship i "Ship" in regards to the quote where i see them as a match for each other and think romance makes sense for both parties

as for some "in defense of"s

i'll defend javi and kate. my only Real problem with them is how they handle david in it like girl can you at least take off the wedding ring before we kiss 😭 my brother still thinks youre his wife (plus they did push it Really hard.. but like.. narratively i understand why they did. family is a running theme of the series and javi and davids relationship is like the main conflict). but like. kate and javis relationship Makes Sense. she had a shit husband (who wanted to go back to the army anyway). her and javi already had the beginnings of Something before the outbreak even happened. she was left with javi to take care of 2 children that werent even biologically hers (i enjoy the complex family dynamics in twdg as a whole). and together theyve been surviving for years as a family unit. i think javi having feelings isnt up for debate, its more just will he act on those feelings or will he respect his brother? and like.. fuck david am i right? kate was Not happy in that relationship and deserves better, and javi cares about her. but also the pressure from their dad to get along after hes gone. it all works for me even if it couldve been executed better

and i .... sigh .... Understand gabe and clem. BUT!!! i think they have different feelings towards each other and its an important distinction. gabe definitely has a huge crush on her, shes cool as hell, but i think her feelings in return are fueled by hormones and the fact that she hasnt been around anyone her own age since DUCK (sarah was 15 at the time). like. does she think hes cute? yeah. but he can also be kind of a huge jerk sometimes and acts recklessly. i think its those moments that snap clem out of it lol. seeing this response in S4 felt vindicating im taking it as sad loner clem having a hormone induced crush. like girl yes or no?? this is the most direct option??

personally i dont like them together because i Hate tropes where the more mature girl half has to teach the immature boy half to grow up and be capable and thats somehow romantic. ESPECIALLY in clems case where she is literally already raising someone like her hands are full ok. her assuaging his ego makes me 🤢 girl you dont have to take that second gun just because he was gonna cry about it if you didnt. its just not romantic to me. also i think its soooo funny that clem uses the same tactic on gabe that she does on aj in S4 with the "i need you to watch my back" to stop him from complaining about being left behind at the gate LOL. also i just think he loves his dad too much who clem hates more than anyone on earth so like.. theres that

uuhhh who else... alvin and rebecca are fine. like i have nothing to say about them but i believe their relationship and think they wouldve been good parents to aj. hmmm.... i guess thats it for the ones i have defenses for?? the others just like.. exist. like im neutral

#am i gonna have to make the david kate javi army wife memes myself where are they #me struggling to remember them all tells you how much i cared about them lol #if you want me to explain why i think clemvi Works thats gonna have to be another post i could go all day #my feelings on clem and louis are Nuanced and ultimately i prefer them as friends. regardless the 3 of them become inseparable #louis and violets friendship is soooo so important like more important than most of the romantic relationships 😭 i love them #for me its clemvi + louis. he is their platonic third. the bond louis and vi share is deep and undeniable you cant exclude either of them #i love how much they care about each other 🥺 how theyve been important to each other for Years before clem showed up #its really sweet :') and i believe it too. they love each other #replies with lexi #incognito #twdg

Dude saying people haven't had any major complaints about rgg games after 0 is DERANGED LMAO did you conveniently forget about the response to 6 💀 most you hear about it is people disliking it... the response to 7? wasn't all that sunshine and flowers either considering the new protag and gameplay style. gaiden was also not that appreciated by quite a few people.

Also in case you forgot gaiden was written after 8...... not before...... the quality did not "go down"

Saying they hyped 8 too much as an excuse to hate on the story is also hilarious... that's on you my guy all they said it that it would be the longest game yet + a grand adventure... which... it was...

IMO Maybe you should replay the game and pay attention since stuff you complain about is... just wrong? You have the entire security company plot wrong...

It really seems like you're just viewing 7 like it was the best masterpiece ever written now that 8 has come out. Be honest dude 7's story is just as messy as you make out 8 to be

response became longer than i thought it'd be LMAO SO rest of the reponse is under the cut so i dont jumpscare anyone with a wall of text

If i made it sound as though i think titles from 0-7 were all perfect with no flaws nor complaints, then i’m happy to agree that those titles actually aren’t perfect and they do have flaws (as if i have to remind everyone anyway how i feel about Y7’s ending, but i dont think its ending is its only flaw on top of that). Highlighting 6 in its entirety is a great example of that really, as i still (rightfully lol) regularly see criticisms for 6 without needing to look for it. However, acting as though- bar 6- the rest of the rgg titles following 0 haven’t received minimal complaints is just dishonest. As i said prior, i don’t doubt that people have their issues (i remember specifically that someone criticized yagami’s character as saying it was nonexistent and that lost judgment as a whole is awkward with its characterization of its previous cast members), but compared to the likes of 1-5, it’s less common to see people’s grievances naturally; original titles following 6 were both judgment games, Y7, and gaiden, entries that i seldom see get the same treatment as pre-0 games (plot wise anyhow- i still remember when everyone was complaining about y7’s gameplay to me LOL). That’s what makes the quality of IW’s story so jarring: nearly five games in a row (again, minus 6) of satisfactory stories, and now there’s an entry whose shortcomings are glaring in comparison. Whatever ill will people had towards 0 especially back then doesn’t compare to how often 0 nowadays is put on a pedestal as one of- if not the best- title in rgg’s history (whether that title is accurate is subjective of course, but as a consensus that’s the opinion easily observable)

Gaiden being written alongside- if not mostly after- IW isnt grounds to excuse its writing. Arguably, the timeline of the games being produced could have ended up shooting IW’s writing in the foot (off the top of my head, i think of hanawa’s presence feeling less significant not just to the plot, but to kiryu compared to how we saw them in gaiden. He isn’t a major character overall of course, but kiryu’s reaction to his death felt more cold than you would’ve expected considering their established relationship). The overall warm reception gaiden received, once more, is what makes IW’s story’s shortcomings more obvious, especially when the titles were released less than three months apart.

The atmosphere leading up to IW’s release additionally didn’t help hide its storytelling quality. While i concede that yokoyama didn’t word-for-word say it would be the ‘best game’, alongside the RGG summit and yokoyama building up the hype of the game and wanting to build upon their prior successes was the start to building expectations. Particularly the quote saying that the efforts they put into Y8 compared to Y7 made the game ‘end up being about 130%’.

Alongside that quote, hiroyuki sakamoto and yoko promoted that IW was a result of ‘gritt[ing] [their] teeth… put[ting] everything we have at ryu ga gotoku studios’

in fairness, it is their job to build up hype for their products, especially when using language like ‘festival-like’ in interviews. With that anticipation however, it’s expected that we find the final product warranting these praises (and gameplay wise, it absolutely does- it’s just the story that falls flat).

even despite the team’s advertising, IW was nominated for one of the most anticipated titles at the game awards last year, and the copious amounts of early-launch reviews giving the title a clean, unanimous 10/10, 9/10, and 5/5 and dubbing it not just one of rgg’s best entries, but one of the best rpgs period was- again- doing an excellent job at making the title worth looking forward to. If the official team wasn’t calling it their best entry verbatim, then consumers were doing so, which is typically the reviews we value the most in practice. All of these in mind, there’s minimal fault on the players for walking into the game imaging they’d have an exemplary experience both gameplay and storywise.

As i previously admitted, i can accept that my memory can be spotty and i’m absolutely capable of misremembering things. However i don’t imagine i got the security plot wrong: after the tojo and omi dissolved, daigo and co set out to start their security company as they said they would. Business was fine until rumors began to spread, and despite doing ‘all they could’ they ultimately had to shut down. Im not sure what i could have missed, though i dont doubt that’s the basic rundown of the plot- a plot that, if portrayed efficiently, wouldn’t have garnered so much criticism from myself.

Rounding things off, i agree that i can let my biases guide my opinions- but that doesn’t mean it’s accurate to say y7 (and other recent entries- subtracting 6)’s flaws are comparable to IW’s storytelling. again, by no means are the other entries perfect (nor did i say they were, just that they demonstrated enjoyable stories compared to IW’s and less casual criticisms), but when comparing the quality of them to IW’s plot and characters, it’s fair to say there was a noticeable shift in quality. I still enjoy IW and i agree with the reviewers praising its gameplay, its story is the only gripe i have with it.

#long post #snap chats #good morning everyone sorry to start the morning like this vjeLKJLKJ #i am incredibly embarrassed about the 'best game' thing tho im HORRIFIED because i could have sworn they said that #i got a pal agreeing with me that they def said it but i mean. if i cant find it i cant find it so ill totally admit fault to that #everything else tho im like. fine with LMAO AGAIN sorry for the length but. 🤷‍♂️

I know you said that the talk about pre sun red (let's just call him capri-sun) made you uncomfortable so I felt the need to clarify that the reason I don't like sunburnt red is because while it's "endearing" (as you said) that he's ugly, I guess we just don't get enough time to appreciate the ugly to where I feels like "oh great heavens wtf is that"

I do also like sunburnt red as a design (mmmmm crispy crynchy) but it also makes me feel a little icky because it reminds me of the time I got sun poisoning and doubled my chances of getting cancer...idk that's just my own thing :(

But red is well designed but I need to absorb more red to really feel that red is red - like how do I explain it??? Like he feels like a different guy with the mask on VS off - you expect him to a Lil pretty but then your stared at by an Egyptian mummy carcass thingy - it somehow confuses my brain, Especially since in typical stories when you remove a mask you find a pretty bitch like akutugawa gin from bungo stray dogs - red is the perfect counter to the story stereotype but it also feels like a shock

Like red looks like a corpse and when I see him in my peripheral sometimes he scares me more than the other hallucinations I have like he is the grim reaper or soemthing - now imagine that in a figurative sense and you get why most people screamed "MUMMY" when they saw him remove his mask because it was a wtf moment

Also I do wish we got to see more capri-sun because he in his own story where he is a boss bitch like blitzo from helluva boss would be pretty cool - he has amazing vibes of arrogance and also somehow a secret insecurity - I just find him compelling in his own right and I want to see him stab someone or break their skull open

Basically I guess sunburnt red is scary (but that's okay bc it was probably your intention) and capri-sun looks a little too silly for us to just let him walk away freely

I wanna grab capri-sun and tear off his fingernails while having a tea party wit him and then ask every other version of red to beta capri-sun up for funnsies

yes. it makes me uncomfortable, talking about it further wont make me less uncomfortable

if he makes you viscerally uncomfortable I cant really do anything about that.

he wears a mask bc thats how the world works- in 0 way intended to be some kind of bait & switch. not intended to be scary, either- just burn scars.

I didnt say red, specifically was ugly. I was talking about all my characters that people complain aren't hot enough- ugly in heavy quotes

Looking at red, i dont really see why you expected him to look like some perfect anime guy. + the bandages were there from the start, he acts exactly the same with it off and on.

theres nothing compelling about him off of one drawing i did in like 2021 or something, nobodys stabbing anyone- I only saw like one episode of helluvaboss ages ago but wasnt blitzo like the boss guy. red doesnt act like that & never did- if you like that character he already exists for you so why try to make red that

I hate to be firm, but he was never intended to show up in the comic. it will not happen.

#never drawing pre sunburn red again!!

Hiiiii how about obito and madara for the character ask game?? Hope you're doing well! -seoz

Aww thank you seoz!!! I am doing fine, I hope you are doing good too 💗💗💗

Obito

1. Favorite thing about them?

Everything? bxhabdhahsdhdh He's my absolute perfect baby warcriminal boy with no flaws he never did anything wrong ever in his life.. No but I think hes so great and his actions make a lot of sense and he's very relatable and tragic and I just want to hug him 😭

2. Least favorite thing about them?

That he had the audacity to die in the war and not survive and live a happy long life is ONE thing! Otherwise I hate him for being ridiculously sexy and also cute

3. Favorite line?

When he speaks 💗

4. brOTP

Obito and all the Akatsuki hehee, especially Kisame I think they are cool bros.

5. OTP

ObiYama of course ❤️ They both deserve the world and they could've both ended up in similar ways if their lives would've gone different I think.

6. nOTP

Noone I basically ship him with anyone he deserves to fuck and get fucked!

7. Random headcanon?

I think he cut his long hair again eventually because he didn't wanna look too much like Madara and still wanted to have SOME sense of self. And since hes letting them grow again later during the massacre he kinda stopped taking care of himself but eventually cut it again and it always went in kind of a circle like that because he has depression

8. Unpopular opinion?

Idk if it's unpopular but I think Obito did have some fondness for Madara somewhere deep down, in a very twisted and of course unhealthy way but I think if he WOULDNT have then he wouldn't have asked him things like "What am I to you?"

9. Song I associate them with?

I'm just gonna copy @wind-becomes-lightning here and say It's Alright by Mother Mother because its just SO PERFECT. Another song I always associate him with is Could've Been Me by The Struts!

10. Favorite picture of him?

His Juubito transformation like....

Perfect. SHOWSTOPPING SPECTACULAR yada yada

Madara

1. Favorite thing about them?

There's like two sides of him. One side is so fun and sassy in some way like he just roasts everyone left and right and complains about bad fashion and I stan that LMAO, but on the other side hes also a very sad character who went through a lot in his youth and I think at least SOME of his actions were also very understandable. ALSO I love him 💗

2. Least favorite thing about them?

Obviously the way he treats Obito, I like to just ignore that and give him a fun old grandpa personality.

3. Favorite line?

Everytime he swoons about Hashirama (sorry I am so blank when it comes to quotes lmao)

4. brOTP

Can I say Madara and Obito as a brOTP? I think they are very funny together. Otherwise I dont think he has any friends sorry king.

5. OTP

HashiMada all the way, they are my one and only my everything I've been obsessed with them since I am 16 or so and me and my best friend have a matching HashiMada tattoo I hope that explains it.

6. nOTP

MadaTobi. I don't hate on it or anything but they just don't vibe for me. Rather go and fuck his big brother, Madara.

7. Random headcanon

He has / or USED TO have a soft spot for children. He needs to protect.

8. Unpopular opinion

I refuse to go with the "Madara is very slim and pale" vibe some people having going on. He is BEEFY and TANNED!

9. Song I associate them with?

I have an entire playlist full with songs for him BUT my favorites are:

K/DA - Villain and Animals - Maroon 5

10. Favorite picture of them

I don't like this question lmao I dont wanna post any art here without permission aaah but I love pictures of Madara with cats :)

#sorry this took so long to answer!!!

Eyyyy what up its me, ya Melli simp, Avena. Would'st thou like Melli mirror fic part 2? It's poorly written and not smutty, possibly ooc-ish? Melli no good wiv words, poor baby. I honestly dont care if its bad cause I wrote something!! Its been 84 years.. or whatever the quote is, I hate the titanic movie. Tah-dah -♡

You had stayed speaking with Adaman long enough for the day to properly begin, the whole settlement was up and busy by the time you got your head around what you had done. The butterfrees in your stomach were only getting worse the more you thought about it.

You needed to make a plan. You also needed to pick some goddamn berries! With all that was happening you had been too distracted to do your one task. Twice! You should pick double the amount you need because you had to go see Melli again and that meant nervous Magikarp feeding. Honestly, you weren't sure why it helped your anxiety so much but from the day you first found them it had been your go to place to de-stress and think. The only downside was it was dangerously close to the Arena. Dangerously close to Melli and to the conversation you knew you needed to have.

Fuck emotional maturity! Why can't I ignore it all? I could run away to the fieldlands, there's Magikarp there and I'd sure as hell be warmer than the goddamn mountains.

Continuing to complain to no one but yourself, you collected all of the ripe berries you could find. By the time you got to the waterfall and the magikarp your arms were practically aching with the weight of the basket, setting it down on the wall of the bridge you leaned over so the fish pokemon would spot you and come and flock to you. Plucking an oran berry from the basket, you roll it in your hands for a few seconds, lost in your thoughts, before finally remembering yourself and tossing it to a nearby fish.

You had been there for what must have been hours, you had already fed them the majority of your berries and given them all names. You were currently procrastinating by sitting at the waters edge and petting them, singing to them. Silly little made up songs about their cute whiskers and insatiable desire for berries turning slowly into singing your thoughts and love songs from your home time as you desperately tried to calm down your nerves enough to go and see Melli.

Sighing as you noticed it was just past mid-afternoon, you rose from where you were sat and bid your sweet, underwater friends goodbye, beginning your ascent to the Arena. If you left it any longer, Melli would find you on his way back to camp. The thought of him catching you singing about how you feel about him sounded way more embarassing than just apologising to him, as that's what you had decided to do. Apologise and admit nothing. You had already made things weird by proposing, you didn't need to add a stuttered confession to your list of fuck ups.

Inhaling deeply you came to the entrance of the arena, curiously he wasn't at his usual spot by the banners. Hoping the Lord Electrode was doing okay you crept forward into the arena, you felt nervous being this close to the Lord Pokémon without its warden, feeling almost like you were snooping in a place you shouldn't.

After a few steps you stop in your tracks and you hear Melli mumble rambling in the distance, followed by bored Voltorb sounds indicating this had been going on for a while.

"Oh Arceus, why do they have to be so pretty? And so kind to the dumb fish? I swear there shall not be a single berry left for my poor Pokémon between here and the Mirelands, all because they keep feeding those dumb Magikarp. And they were singing to them Today! Like they're little babies! Ridiculous!"

You settle on creeping closer to witness your crush's raving for yourself, despite already knowing his exact facial expressions from previous experiences. It was a harsh thought but maybe, if you could embarass him by catching him mid rant, maybe he wouldn't be so insufferable when you apologised? It was a flawed logic but you could hope at least.

Lost in your own musings, you compeltely overlook most of his words, his confessions to the Voltorbs about his crush on you flowed completely out of your head as he said them. Well almost all. His words hit you as soon as you saw him, sat on the floor with his arms folded, monologing to his audience.

"They were singing them love songs! They never sing me long songs!" Slumping his shoulders dramatically and letting his head fall into his hands he continued, unaware that he was being observed by you. "I just want them to sing love songs to me. Songs about me."

His sorrow, ignored by his crowd of tiny ball Pokémon in favour of soft buzzing to each other as they noticed you. Growing more excited by the second, mischeiviously hoping Melli would day something else incriminating. Gesturing to them as quietly as you could to calm down and stay quiet, you crept slightly closer, not paying as much attention as you should and stepling on a twig.

Melli's head whipped up and towards you panic plastered on his face, as the sharp snapping sound reverberated around the arena. You winced at the noise knowing you had been caught and looked down at the ground, not daring to meet his gaze just yet.

"How much did you hear?" Melli squeaked, his voice now a whisper.

"Not a lot, truely, but I got the general idea." Removing your foot from the twig you kick it aside so you can delay looking at the man before you.

"And? Will you not apologise to me? For making me feel this way?" He began a tirade of false confidence as was his go to but you were suddenly so tired of hearing it, you had already grown so unacustomed to not being on the receiving end, you had lost your tolerance for it.

"Oh enough Melli" you snapped, harsher than you meant.

As silence fell over you both, each wrestling with your own anxieties, all you could hear was your heart pounding in your ears. Collapsing down so as to sit beside him, just slightly too close, you finally looked him in the eyes. They were watery with tears, scared of the rejection he was expecting to follow.

"I'm sorry, Mells. Adaman told me what making you that mirror meant to you and it was never my intention to make you uncomfortable. Well, truth me told I was trying to annoy you but still. I didn't know that it meant what it does." Your gaze falters and you look away, your thumb unconsciously rubbing the handle of your basket as you fidget nervously. You interupt slightly as you hear him inhale as if to start speaking. "You don't have to forgive me and you can reject my proposal, that's fine, but please, I want to still be friends, at least".

"At least?" Comes his reply, genuinely confused, not expecting you to confess feelings for him but praying to any god that was listening that you would.

Swallowing nervously, your voice cracks when you speak.

"I like you, Melli. And, I don't want to scare you and say that we should get married, but I would like to see if we could be more than friends. I've wanted to tell you for a while but never dared."

You fall silent, letting him process your words. It felt good to finally admit the thing that had been on your mind for months, but your chest felt like it was being crushed the more time passed without his reply. Focusing on your breathing you collect yourself, trying not to have a panic attack as you sit and wait for a response. Any response.

After what felt like hours, you couldn't bare it any longer and began to shift yourself away from the lavender haired man you loved. Attempting to rise from you seat of the ground before a hand caught your arm, tugging you back down.

"Look at me?" Melli's voice was softer than you had ever heard it and it made your heart ache to hear more.

Turning your face back to him you lifted your eyes to meet his, hearing his sharp inhale when your gazes finally lock onto each other. Before you knew what was happening his lips were on yours. His hands hovering over yours not daring to touch, it felt awkward but it was what you'd wanted for so long that you didn't care. His soft lips pressed firmly against yours, still with nerves as his eyes never left yours. Pulling back quickly as if realising what he'd done he turns his face away from you, a blush staining his entire face. You blinked a few times to re-centre your thoughts, finally remembering to breathe.

He'd kissed you.

You both sat there for long time in silence, though this time a comfortable one. Both of you settling down from your nerves, blushes receeding before getting bold enough to look at each other for a breif moment before your blushes began anew. The bizarre situation you found yourself in suddenly dawned on you and you couldn't stop the giggle that left you, pushing Melli to the side gently to get him to join you in laughter, and he did. It was like you had both finally remembered you were best friends, laughing at the blushes on each others faces, both teasing the other for admiting they caught feelings.

"Consider your proposal, undoubtably rejected." He laughed as he pushed you over softly, in retaliation for you pinching his still bright red cheeks.

"Fine, I'll have my mirror back then" Sticking your tongue out at him from your new home in the grass, smiling at him softly with a loving look as he turned away and loomed over his shoulder at you.

"Good luck with that! Adaman helped me fix it to the wall yesterday, well out of the reach of you little people" he flicks his hair over his shoulder to emphasise the little people comment and it makes you smile wide.

Pulling his tunic to get him to face you again, you stayed prone, the grass surprisingly comfortable.

"Well then I suppose you'll just have to pay more for it! But, I warn you my costs are steep." The teasing lilt to your voice and the fact you were still lying almost beneath him had him intrigued, a faint blush threatening to take over his features as he quirked an eyebrow at you.

"Mmhmm. It will cost you one whole kiss. Right here." You confirm tapping your index finger to your cheek.

"Your prices are steep but I suppose I have no choice"

He re-positioned himself so as to hover above you, stradding your waist, chucklimg lightly as your face scrunched up reflexively has his hair fell in your face. Brushing his hair away from you, he trailed his knuckles against your face faintly before leaning down slowly to press a kiss to your cheek. You smirk, eyes full of devilment as he falls closer to you. Lips barely an inch from their destination you catch his face with your hand and guide him to meet your lips. Your eyes closed in bliss as you feel his lips move against yours, bodies pressed closer than would be decent if someone were to catch you. You swore you could stay like this forever, well, if it weren't for the chorus of overexcited Voltorb.

FUCK PLEASE JUST LET ME-

I CRAVE.

THANK YOU.

BUT PLEASE YOU’RE MAKING ME A LITTLE PARCHED.

hsmtmts season four episode five

WHY ARE ALL OF THEM IGNORING RICHARD even though it’s LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE still that’s really rude what happened to being nice to people??? If people are genuinely like that in college I am scared

“Richard Bowen.”

”Elton John.” I LOVE THESE TWO!!!!

why does the principal care omg like stay out of her business not everyone can make every rehearsal what do you expect??

kourtneys hero is her mom! That’s the most wholesome and sweetest thing ever 🥰

if kourtneys college trip was a casual visit how come miss girl is wearing four inch heels a miniskirt and a turtleneck 🥸 not that I’m complaining, she looks amazing, but I’m just saying my feet would be KILLIN ME

”wait wait wait… YOURE working??”

ok can we talk about ej for a min?? Man has four jobs, full class schedule, is on the PING PONG TEAM (is that a thing?), is an acapella group called the blindorphins (blind orphans? Help?), has no parental support (srsly, where is his mama?) has a beard much more prominent than the one in season two, is the dork of his friend group (how????), is talking to Val (I totally ship, ngl, so if it’s just a friend thing ima hurt someone) and wears Birkenstocks. He’s a hippie. Someone help my matty poo. But good for him! Proud of ya eej!

”you do look good.” “You look… terrible.”

okay, plot hole, ej says he’s been dabbling in playing the guitar yet in season three he’s literally playing the guitar for the song “ballad of Susan fine.” So is he dabbling in other types of guitars or is a plot hole??? Because if it’s a plot hole it’s the first one I’ve noticed. and now it’s bugging me. And I can’t unsee it.

”I do not break my promises” NO YOU DONT

”for my leading lady thirty seconds.” Welp

”g force” I cant

”no is a complete sentence” thanks Quinn that’s my senior quote

YES GINA

”I’m hearing awards buzz” the only line from Mack I haven’t absolutely hated

“ all songs might be terrible, Elton.”

they’re such brothers it hurts knowing that this is like their last season together :( I wish we’d gotten more of their friendship “ooh, a capo? Fancy.” Ricky said with a proud smile 🤩 his big bro is all grown up (which is backwards, but you know what I mean)

I absolutely love this song! It’s everything we’ve ever needed and more

ricky looks so intently focused on ej he’s into it

AWWW THEYRE DUETING TOGETHER

that song really hit Ricky home huh. That’s just what he needed. I can totally see why people ship Ricky and ej because their chemistry and like, playfulness was really cute but I still see it as more of a bromance and brother relationship.

man Siri is really working miss Jenn dang

The fact that Siri is still going and recording all while miss Jenn and Carlos are talking has me bawling what if it sent the text to the theater group lmao

no Mack. You and Gina are not “best friends.” Yall are barely friends imo. Ashlyn is Gina’s best friend. Kourtney is Gina’s best friend. Ricky is Gina’s best friend (plus a lil smth else 😏😉)

the fact that she’s looking at a picture of Ricky to help her nail the chemistry 😚 true love right there

EW NASTY MACK STOP KISSING GINA Gina looks like she does not wanna be there but Mack is all in and I wanna slap him

omg big red. What happened…. Cairo… changed him?

Aw his grandma is 100! That’s so sweet

stopppp I still can’t believe it was BIG FREAKING RED

”fantastic. My girlfriend is kissing her childhood crush”

THE CAPTION HAS ME DEAD

ejs little noises “mmm.. mmmm… mmMMMMmm.” He totally disapproves huh

i love how Ricky is ranting to ej even though Gina and ej dated and ej is pretty cool with it, he’s so supportive in this season

man Ricky cannot sit still boy is constantly moving

“everyone’s only allowed to be okay, for like, ten seconds” yup pretty much sucks but true

”todd” says it like it’s the worst word ever

im tired of you losing people too Ricky - don’t worry I’m HERE FOR YOU :((

I love how big red was just like SURPRISE!! even tho Carlos is literally dying of heartbreak and he’s just like “eh it’s cool, whatever” COME ON BIG RED YOURE BETTER THAN THAT

i can’t freaking believe that big reds coming out moment was with Sebastian

I love how Ashlyn doesn’t even care herself she’s just worried about Carlos mostly TELL HIM ASH TELL HIM

bug red is so supportive 😍 he’s a number one madlyn fan I swear

honestly redlyn was one of the most non toxic couples in the show, they constantly supported each other and were there for each other, but they knew that there just wasn’t something final about them together, yes they clicked and they clicked well and so they’re better off as friends now that both of their storylines have explored other sides of their feelings and broadened “their dating pools” as Ashlyn said. So I’m glad that they’re staying friends. And were able to come to a mutual breakup. “Or maybe growing towards this” 🥹

”but what if I got it wrong?” GIRL SHE JUST TRIED TO KISS YOU ON HALLOWEEN!!! SHE WAS THE ONE TO INITIATE IT!!!

”we are 24 cups?!” The instant panic is so real

Carlos: “do you know what it’s like to be gay?” Miss Jenn: *shakes her head* 😭😭😭😭

”hiding is never the answer” yess!! This all the way

baby steps Carlos you got this hun

kourtney really is glowing , she’s so happy at Lewis

harpers shoes are super cute!

”how heavy can a steadicam be?” The steadicam guy: really heavy 😒

“you missed every one of my opening nights!” “Hollywood is different” GIRL I hate you if it weren’t for those opening nights Gina probably wouldn’t be in hollywood hate to admit it but I did

I hate Gina’s mom so much why does she feel the need to push Gina towards Mack and invite him over for dinner and make her miss rehearsals when clearly she wants to go rehearse like what? Gina doesn’t even like Mack that way!

ginas mother… I thought you said “no boys.” And here she is

the last time Carlos is gonna smile at big red “spill the international tea”

YOU KISSED MY BOYFRIEND?!?!?

”im very fond of you “ AWWW sad considering the circumstances but it’s still a sweet thing to say..

oh- mad and mad are back on again

i love how ej aaid “no” when the thunder cracked 💀

TIME FOR SOME BIG BRO EJ TOUGH LOVE AHHHH ALL FOR IT 💗

see the fact that Ricky didn’t even know about ejs dad problems and everything going on with him and Gina and still waited respectfully until Gina was ready shows his character growth. In season one he was actively interfering with nini and ejs relationship but in season three he saw Gina was happy and let her have her happiness. This is what I love about him ❤️

”you will never meet another family like the Wildcats” HITS LIKE HOME CUZ ITS OVER

”cause I miss it every single day” literally me rewatching this knowing I will never be able to go back and rewatch seasons 1 and 2 ever again 😢

Matt Cornett king of voice cracks

”she would be be with you if she didn’t see the guy you could be” YES EJ PREACH MY MAN

”if you hurt her… I will never forgive you.” The way Ricky looks up in alarm ‼️

Ej is the freaking best at pep talks man all that time with Val really taught him a lot, he’s being tough on Ricky and honest with him but he’s also being caring and gentle and I love that for the two of them, we need more bromances like this!

YES RICKY GO SPEAK YOUR MIND TO GINA PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH

YESSS A HUG

”why didn’t we hang out more in high school?” “Well maybe because you were always stealing my girlfriends” HAHAHA

awww ej is giving him his guitar!!! (He’s got good instincts)

ugh mark and spark are literally on the table

part 2 tk!

I’ve been avoiding this for a while now but the hurricane is making me. I guess I just didn’t want to acknowledge it.. the fact that someone I’ve grown with, learned life with, lived life with was no longer going to be a part of it.

I just got done browsing through old pictures. It seemed like a lifetime ago. You were my bestfriend. Someone I looked to for advice, for help, for reassurance, for confidence. I was never scared to ask you a question and even if you didn’t know, you’d always help anyway you could. You’ve always been good to me, in every aspect. You are an amazing person (not that you dont know). Looking at you now, the word that comes to mind is proud. You are exactly who you want to be with the person you want to be with. You have done the thing you wanted to do on your time, your choice, and you’ve done it with grace. I read your words often when I need to talk to you or ask a question. When I need to complain or cry about something stupid just to hear back from you, ��Don’t be a bitch.” I think the one thing I will miss most is having someone who knows me (forreal) and understands. You see through my bullshit, my fake happiness, you know when something is wrong and you know just what to say to snap me out of it. (I’m crying now.) I’m living this life and I no longer have a you. So just like you’ve done for me, I will give you a goodbye note.

Never forget how much you are loved. Every person who comes in contact with you can’t help but laugh and remember how you made them feel. You know what you want, go get it whole heartedly. Not once have I ever doubted your ability to be anything you wanted whether that be a PA, a dermotologist, a fucking seller for Tesla. You can do anything (even tho you have dyslexia, you are a survivor). Even though I won’t be in your world anymore, just know I’ll always cheer you on. You are literally one of the best human beings I have ever come in contact with. You know you’re a bad bitch but even when you don’t feel it that day, just remember it’s ok. You’re the shit and you always will be. Unless it’s on the court against me, then I’ll beat your ass. I know sometimes you feel gross but youre a 12, bad bitch, smoking hot, baller. I know it’s hard sometimes but love on your mom every once in a while, she’s amazing and loves you so so much. Jim sucks and for years I have been making excuses for him but I hope one day you will let go of the burden you hold with that man. I hope there are days where you get to feel that warmth in your heart when you remember Papaw. Talk about him, remember the stories and tell them. I don’t have that anymore because she doesnt understand that kind of relationship, so hold it tight.You don’t really need reminders besides stop spending your damn money lol. Things are just things. Save so you don’t have to work one day. Also, cry every once in a while, it’s good for you. It doesnt make you a little bitch or not cool. They can stfu. All in all I hope nothing but the best for you. You’re going to make a great wife and even greater mom. These words don’t hold the justice I feel or felt for you but they will have to do. You have changed my life for the better and I’m so happy for the lessons you’ve taught me, the laughs you made me wheeze, and the love I got to experience. You will always be admired by me. Good luck in this shitty world. You got this, always have, always will. I pinky promise squeeze.

Also this is more for me than you but it’s a quote from my favorite movie (that you hated):

“There are no more “one mores” I met you when everything was new and exciting, and the possibilites of the world seemed endless. And they still are. For you, for me. But not for us. Somewhere between then and now, here and there, I guess we didnt just grow apart, we grew up. When something breaks, if the pieces are large enough, you can fix it. Unfortunately, sometimes things dont break, they shatter. But when you let light in, shattered glass will glitter. And in those mmoments, when the pieces of what were catch the sun, I’ll remeber how beautiful it was. Just how beautiful it’ll always be. Because it was us. And we were magic. Forever.”

I love you mostest to infinity times 2 (but like in a friend way or something)

my tummy hurts and I refuse to be brave, if it hurts, I can complain

tw for my vent n shit also don't worry it sounds bad out of context it's not as severe as you think I'd add a read more but idk how to tumblr on mobile and don't respond or ask me about it I just need to get it out thanks

also unrelated note, I have realized the reason I don't like the words "I love you" is not bc of extreme romance repulsion bc I'm aro but years of trauma and manipulation to the point where compliments can make me nervous (especially about my looks or inspiring quotes people say like you are loved you are worth something) like don't tell me I'm so beautiful please stop it, I just hate it... it reminds me of THAT person.... (it wasn't in a se×ual abuse situation don't worry) I'm kinda ok ish with "you are beautiful" or ur pretty but the words "you are so beautiful" just make me want to rip off my skin

if someone compliments my dam skin one more fucken time..... I just can't b ew yahsgvsbs

and I hate whispering and people pulling me aside into a small space just tell me away from people in an open room ok? but I can't ask for people to not trigger/make me uncomfortable without saying I have trauma about weird shit. Like closets and bathrooms (again not as bad as it sounds, was not se×ual abuse)

AND DONT TOUCH ME ISTG ASK ME OR LET ME ASK YOU DONT TOUCH ME

also why do people act like there is always a trusted adult. 99 percent of adults in my life have to power to ruin it if they try or if I trusted them enough to let them in. I know people say reach out but they don't get it. I am not an adult, I have no power. all adults have way more power and that makes them too dangerous to let in. at this point it is probably like my life could be in danger if a stupid adult tries smth with my mom or dad. if I trust an adult with all of *gestures to trauma, gay and Trans ness, on going abuse, ME in general* .. that, and they try to do smth about it bc they think they know how abuse works, I might be kicked out or most likely a lot worse. Adults are like those captas where you prove you aren't a robot. every adult is a test to see if I can not set off any red flags that I'm not.. normal. it's so tiring that it's a relief if an adult doesn't care if I live or die.

also, thought I did a good socialization today, apparently it was shit :'( I tried so hard this time, I talked the least I could and didn't fidget in veiw of the new person or the other people. I talked a bit much at the end, I think that was it? I mean, I was talking about what she liked, and I let her finish her words and got through a convo with 2 other people. im the youngest there though so was I not suppose to talk? we were supposed to be meeting her tho and get to know her????? I'm so tired of being so broken l. I just really tried and my big sister is still disappointed in me. she should just leave for collage already, idk why she doesn't hate me yet...... I don't want her to, I just can't be the person she wants me to be. I'm just so tired I can't be anything but a complete shit hole and I hate it.

and I just gave up on my friend. I want to help her but I'm also fucked up but saying that triggers her so I just- and she's out of the hospital and I don't want to be rude but I just don't want to talk or be friends with her anymore, its too much but I can't tell her bc she already thinks that and I think that about my friends to and its too much god wtf are we doing we are kids we shouldnt want to kill ourselves are this age. But I want her to have friends and be happy but she only wants me as her friend and has no one else and she gave up and it's not healthy anymore but I can't just leave and I can't ask for help but I can't just be on call and talk her out of suicide every Thursday I live in an abusive house and I'm also always on call for my mom. I can't just pick her up and drag her along but idk what she's like now bc she might have blocked me so....

I should draft this but ik like no one looks through my posts so eff it

#tw venting #this is a vent idk #its not as bad as it sounds just really weird #for the 1st part ish

i know this is a crazy concept for some of you but if you don’t like a piece of media.... don’t complain about it on a content creator’s post? you can put your opinion on a review sight or, god forbid, make your own post instead of ranting on the post of someone who has nothing to do with said media and is just trying to make something for fun

#because i'm seeing it EVERYWHERE lately #like you don't need to write a review of how much you hate tnc #in the rbs of my tnc graphic #you dont need to complain about a quote you hate #on a gifset that uses that quote #surprise! we dont actually make that media!#i cannot go to the mcu execs and say this random user hates your characterization of loki so go and change it #which is apparently coming as a shocker for yall #sorry i'm done now #*rant #shut up nini #also completely fine to rb !#in fact pls do i want to piss off some people #[bo burnham voice] everyone feels the need to give their opinions on everything all the time #so please stfu

#i speak #god im so fucking tired of the 'gifted kid' discourse #can we not with this plz #YES obviously school is awful for everyone #YES obviously people who werent labelled gifted had the same expectations placed on them #people can complain about their problems?? i dont fucking get it #like the shit ive dealt with because of the whole gifted situation is different from what someone who wasnt given that label wouldve had #so saying 'as a quote unquote gifted kid this thing sucks' doesnt like. hurt you??#i just. god its so tiring #the school system sucks!! it sucks for everyone!!! we know!!#there are specific aspects of it that are different depending on how you were percieved tho!!!!#like i have no idea what it was like to be shuffled away into classes for people who needed more help and be written off #just because the material was more diffficult for me personally #im not gonna go on a post about that and whine about how bad it was being gifted??? like theyre 2 different topics #just fucking let people vent oh my god #if you dont like a post. scroll past it.#make your own post about not being gifted and move on #(also i fucking hate the word its so fucking stupid)#and also stop comparing trauma???#this shit CAN be traumatic actually #different shit affects people very differently #i literally have never cared that my parents are divorced #for some people thats huge and awful and im not going to tell them theyre wrong???#like good god

Texts from the Lost Tomb, part 5.2

Also yes this is a 5 part story arc, why do you ask, no I’m not “avoiding real life work”

Main Chat

Wang Pangzi: YOU KNOW THERE ARE THOSE WHO WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING DRAGGED OUT OF BED AT AN UNGODLY HOUR FOR THE SAKE OF SOME JEWELRY AND FORCED INTO AN ADVENTURE

Wu Xie: And we are just so grateful you are above all that.

Zhang Qiling: You were fully awake and insisted we pack and go as soon as possible in case there was, and I quote, “more weird shit happening we can cash in on.”

Wu Xie: I mean it’s kind of interesting that the Zhang family sent a car for us. We could have driven. So what is going on there, I wonder?

Wang Pangzi: YOU KNOW FOR A PARANOID AND CONNIVING LITTLE SHIT YOU STILL RADIATE OBLIVIOUS BAMBI ENERGY

HATE TO BE THE ADMIRAL ACKBAR HERE BUT ITS DEF A TRAP MY BOY

WHY DO U THINK WE ARE MESSAGING AND NOT TALKING DUMMY

WERE YOU IN A TOMB ON THE DAY THEY TAUGHT PPL STRANGER DANGER

BUT NO NO YOU WERE ALL “LETS GET IN THE VAN WITH THE FREE CANDY AND PUPPIES I BET WE’RE GOING TO THE CIRCUS”

THIS IS THE LAST STRAW IM LOJACKING YOU FOR REAL THIS TIME, SHOULDVE DONE THIS YEARS AGO

Zhang Qiling: I agree, in this particular case, with Pangzi. You should not have gotten in their vehicle while we were still inside the house. It forced us to follow you into the van to prevent separation, and they seemed to be expecting that. I don’t know whether Zhang Rishan intended this, but I don’t trust him.

Wu Xie: :( I got excited and didn’t think it through. I’m sorry.

Wang Pangzi: DONT YOU GIVE US THE BIG EYES WE ARE IMMUNE

MOSTLY

SPEAKING OF IMMUNE ITS REALLY FUCKIN COLD IN HERE AND UR STILL SICK, PUT YOUR JACKET ON STUPID

Wu Xie: oh relax, I’m fine. No fever at all today, remember? I feel a lot better, too.

Wang Pangzi: YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE XIAO GE INTERVENE

Zhang Qiling: It is odd to say this, but Pangzi is right again. You are barely back on your feet and could easily get worse again. Wu Xie. Jacket. Now.

Wu Xie: Oh fine. Teaming up on me, I see. Happy now?

Wang Pangzi: FUCKING ECSTATIC. NOW BACK TO HOW WE MAY BE PULLING A LI CU

Wu Xie: If it is an abduction, it wouldn’t be them moving against the whole Wu family—not with Uncle Erbai in charge. Zhang Rishan strikes me as someone who doesn’t make a move unless he is sure of his plan, and this is all a bit last-minute to be a big shift. Besides, they let Xiao Ge keep his sword and we still have all our phones.

Wang Pangzi: TOOK AWAY MY EXPLOSIVES THO THE BASTARDS

Zhang Qiling: In fairness, you were waving them around and yelling that if they tried anything it was going to be “yippeekiyay motherfucker all up in this bitch.”

Wang Pangzi: IT SOUNDS LESS COOL COMING FROM YOU. I THINK I SEE THE TEAHOUSE?

Wu Xie: me too. That’s Zhang Rishan on the steps. This must be urgent. Everybody stay shiny.

Zhang Qiling: I will be getting out first. Wu Xie in the middle, Pangzi at the rear.

Wang Pangzi: AND WHAT A VIEW;)

An hour later…

Main Chat

Wu Xie: Is everyone okay? I tried knocking but nothing is getting through, these are some solid walls.

Wu Xie: guys???

Wang Pangzi: OOPS PHONE WAS ON SILENT AND I WAS BUSY YELLING AT THE CEILING

IM PRESENT AND PISSED OFF

Zhang Qiling: Apologies, I was trying to break down the door.

Wang Pangzi: SO THIS MAY NOT BE THE TIME TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO BUT WHILE WE’RE HERE

Wu Xie: fuck Pangzi, I know, okay??

I’m an idiot, I’m so fucking stupid. It’s not like it’s the first or fiftieth time I’ve put you two in danger, either.

Wang Pangzi: HEY HEY WHOA NOW

STOP SAYING RUDE SHIT ABOUT MY FRIEND

ITS GONNA BE OKAY

DESPITE KNOWING THIS WAS A BAD IDEA I STILL COULDNT PREDICT HOW MUCH CHAOTIC LUCK THIS FAMILY HAS

DAMN IT I HATE WHEN HEI XIAZI IS RIGHT ABOUT THINGS

Zhang Qiling: I’m sorry. This is my fault. My line has a ruthlessly pragmatic streak and they’ve clearly wanted to test us separately to see why the necklace reacted to our arrival like that. It does not excuse Zhang Rishan trapping us in these separate rooms.

Wang Pangzi: UHH BITCH I SAID THIS FAMILY NOT YOUR FAMILY

THIS AINT ABOUT THEM

YOUR FAMILY IS ON MY SHIT LIST EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

THIS FAMILY MEANT US OBVS

UGH ANY SIGN OF THE BASTARDS?

Zhang Qiling: no. Wu Xie?

Zhang Qiling: Wu Xie, answer me.

Wang Pangzi: WU XIE

TIANZHEN

PICK UP YOUR FUCKING PHONE DAMNIT YOU'RE SCARING XIAOGE

Zhang Qiling: I’m going to try breaking down the door again.

Wu Xie: Hello, Wang Pangzi and Zhang Qiling. My apologies for the rather inhospitable circumstances, but this seemed expedient considering the unknown qualities of the necklace. I could not be sure who was causing what, or what could happen next, and thus have temporarily set you in separate rooms for the sake of everyone’s safety.

Wang Pangzi: WTF GIVE HIM BACK HIS FUCKIN PHONE ZHANG RISHAN I KNOW ITS YOU YOU PRETENTIOUS ANTIQUE

WE DESTROYED THIS PLACE BEFORE AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN

Zhang Qiling: Your concerns for everyone’s safety are noted. Thank you for whatever you believe you’ve done right here.

Now. If you release us immediately and return Wu Xie to us, we will consider leaving without direct personal retribution.

Wang Pangzi: WHAT HE SAID AND ALSO YOU SUCK

Wu Xie: I regret that this has happened, I hope to make it up to you in the future. For the purpose of today’s needs, however—I will have my men escort the two of you out if you so desire, but unfortunately Wu Xie will need to stay until we have finished examining him.

Wang Pangzi: EXAMINING??? YOU FUCKING PERV HANDS OFF HE MAY BE THE BELLE OF THE BALL BUT HIS DANCE CARD IS SPOKEN FOR

I SWEAR I DID NOT GO THROUGH TEN YEARS OF THIS STARCROSSED CLUSTERFUCK FOR YOU TO SWOOP IN AND STEAL MY FRIENDS BF

Wu Xie: There is no call for rudeness. He will not be harmed. The artifact was responding to him directly. It has not lit up like this in over 200 years, and I need to understand why it is responding, and responding to someone who is not our kin, which it has never done before. This could have implications for everyone in my family if it could protect someone at the right moment.

Wang Pangzi: OKAY BUT CONSIDERING OUR TRACK RECORD IN THIS BUILDING AND THE SITUATION AT HAND Y’ALL ARE ABOUT TO NEED PROTECTION

Wu Xie: The testing would be going better if Wu Xie wasn’t worrying himself unnecessarily over where you both are, it’s making our readings difficult.

Wang Pangzi: OH GEE SO SORRY YOUR KIDNAPPING VICTIMS ARENT THRILLED TO BE HERE TO SAMPLE YOUR CREEPY JEWELRY BOX BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A YOU PROBLEM

Zhang Qiling: Zhang Rishan. I appreciate that you must think of our family first in your decisions. As must I. I hope you can appreciate what that means for decisions I make.

Wang Pangzi: HEHEHE SO TRUE BESTIE

YOU PISSED OFF THE WRONG GOTH TODAY BUDDY BOY

Zhang Qiling: A compromise: we stay with him as you run your tests. That will calm him and assuage Pangzi’s concerns and prevent me from…testing the limits of your lifespan.

Wu Xie: I accept that this may temporarily impact our relations, but am hopeful that you will come to understand that sometimes I need to make certain choices for this family that are…difficult. I will come to let you—One moment. Something seems to be happening.

Babysitters Club Chat

Wang Pangzi: OH SO WE ARE GONNA JUST POLITELY SIT WITH WU XIE AS STRANGERS POKE HIM WITH NEEDLES ARE WE HUH WELL LOOK WHOS BEING A HELPFUL LITTLE LAB ASSISTANT

Zhang Qiling: I’m attempting to convince him to let us out. Of course we will not simply sit there. Some lying to gain trust is necessary here.

Wang Pangzi: UR BEIN A SHADY BITCH XIAOGE AND ITS HOT

THATS WHY YOUR TATTOO IS SO BIG ITS FULL OF SECRETS

ALWAYS KNEW YOU HAD IT IN YOU TO—WAIT WHAT WAS THAT SOUND??

At the same time…

Bonnie and Clyde Chat

Xie Yuchen: …so, this is not what I expected to find.

Hei Yangjing: yeah kiddo is a bit freaked out:/ this sucks. I mean I get that they are concerned blah blah blah necklace goes brightbright but maybe we should go find the other two

or at least find a way to let Wu Xie know we are here, that room he’s in looks like a dungeon and not in a good way

Xie Yuchen: Does it look like I’m able to do anything right now? Also, I’m fairly certain they won’t be harmed. Zhang Rishan may be callous, but he isn’t stupid.

Hei Yangjing: r u kidding

he split up Romeo and Juliet, then left Romeo with a sword—seems pretty stupid to me

Xie Yuchen: Yeah I’m not going near that. He made his bed with that choice. What can you see? These Neanderthal guards are blocking my view.

Hei Yangjing: uh so there’s like a lab table situation

Wu Xie isn’t tied up, a good sign in this context

I can’t see what those people are holding, they’re talking a lot and some asshole just grabbed Wu Xie’s arm, looks like maybe they are putting in an IV?

The necklace is—oh. Oh shit.

Got any fun Woose head cannons bouncing around in your head ? :) or about anyone else. you have such neat insight into asoiaf and I love reading it

Hello, thank you that's so flattering! 🥺❤ I'm glad you enjoy my meta posts!

I do have many Woose headcanons :D I am going to try and focus this post more on headcanons that i can somewhat closely support by text, so i'm sorry if i mentioned some of these already!

Since Domeric squired in the Vale under Lord Redfort, i headcanon that Roose' mother was a Redfort as well since that would explain the connection the easiest... The way Roose talks about Lord Redfort doesn't necessarily sound like theyre close or related, but that might just be to keep the information simple for the reader. Either way we will likely find out in Sansa's tWoW Vale plot how that connection came to be, since she will probably interact with relevant characters like Mychel Redfort.

[Domeric] served four years as Lady Dustin's page, and three in the Vale as a squire to Lord Redfort. [...] Redfort said he showed great promise in the lists. - Reek III, aDwD

Roose not only has a son who loves horses, but he himself also has some quotes alluding to him liking to ride and being knowledgable about horses, which makes me hc that Roose is an able rider as well; So Domeric would get it from both sides of the family (explaining why he's such a horse boy). This hc is inspired by analysis from Bran Vras

"...on our way back to the Dreadfort my favorite courser came up lame..." - Reek III, aDwD

"The clans of the northern hills come with him on their shaggy runtish horses. " - The Prince of Winterfell, aDwD

He's likely so pale from all that leeching (since they cause regular blood loss), and would probably have a normal skin color if he didn't do it so often... His quiet voice might also be caused by it (fatigue). I also assume his "unwrinkled" face is at least partially due to him having such an emotionless expression; if he showed an intense emotion (like a very genuine smile) there might be more wrinkles visible. I also don't get the impression his "unwrinkled"/"ageless" face makes him look unnaturally young, since none of the older PoVs (Cat, Jaime) comment on it; He probably just looks like he aged very well.

He is described as having a "hairless body" during the leeching scene, which makes me think he might shave his body hair so the leeches can apply easier (which ive seen recommended online for leech therapy).

Him having dark brown hair is unfortunately still a headcanon, since his hair is not described in the books... But it seems likely to me because it would contrast his pale features and make them stand out more; and if his hair was grey that would have probably been pointed out as a contrast to his unwrinkled face. I'm usually excluding blonde/red hair as a possibility since I assume grrm would have described that explicitly.

He'd probably wear sunglasses frequently in a modern au, his eyes seem sensitive to me because their color is so light (less pigmentation making eyes more sensitive to sunlight)... I also hc him as nearsighted + needing glasses in modern au, though obviously we don't have anything in the text referencing this.

He and Barbrey share a long history, yet we see that she talks negatively about him to Theon... I hc that she probably started having a lower opinion of him due to the way he handled the Domeric situation (or that the situation at least heavily contributed to it); My assumption is that Barbrey quickly suspected Ramsay of murder and hates Ramsay because of that, so if Roose takes Ramsay in as his new heir this would make Barbrey think that he's really callous/emotionless and "does not love/hate/grieve".

"Those leeches that he loves so well sucked all the passions out of him years ago. He does not love, he does not hate, he does not grieve." - The Prince of Winterfell, aDwD

Roose doesn't seem to care when it comes to various cruelties and illegalities (telling Ramsay he will not chide him for his "amusements" and Ramsay just needs to be "more discreet"; and also being guilty of many crimes himself), but due to the long Bolton-Stark animosity i feel he would probably see warging as an abomination and oppose it on "moral" grounds (similar to how he says a kinslayer is "accursed").

He is usually described as clean-shaven; i hc he shaves his beard partially out of vanity, partially because he doesn't want to look like his father... He probably also takes a while to grow a good beard/has weak beard growth. (No textual evidence for any of these statements, just hc; sadly we don't know about any of his family beyond his sons/wives. I also wonder if he was always shaving his beard, or if he had a beard phase when he was younger)

I get the impression he is not that strict a father, and is more someone who tries to get to his kids verbally than through punishment... In both Ramsay's and Domeric's case we see that he gives them advice that they dont much care for, and neither appear to fear disobeying him or arguing with him much.

"He wanted a brother by his side, so he rode up the Weeping Water to seek my bastard out. I forbade it, but Domeric was a man grown and thought that he knew better than his father." - Reek III, aDwD

“It should have been you who threw the feast, to welcome me back,” Ramsay complained, “and it should have been in Barrow Hall, not this pisspot of a castle.” [...] “Is this why you left Lady Dustin and your fat pig wife? So you could come down here and tell me to be quiet?”- Reek III, aDwD

I do also have more "fanfic-like" headcanons, but im shy about posting them since they could easily be deconfirmed in future books :") Of course i try to do them as "in-character" as i can, but in some aspects grrm just hasn't given much info yet.
