anyway now that the blond jeremy fiasco has put the fear of god into all of us (me) (thank you to the brunette truthers, ilu) it's time for fun facts friday
1 I have to keep reminding myself the books take place before uber was founded 2 If I don't learn how to shut up soon this book will be longer than TKM and I will have to yeet myself into lake superior 3 Not book related but speaking of superior I moved to the midwest last year and I have never been so far from the ocean. I don't even like the ocean. But I do not know to process being 1200miles from it. All other 6 (7?) states were coastal. 4 I am forgetting how to pronounce Jeremy bc I keep pronouncing it like Jean 5 TSC is dual POV I hate my gd life

I accidentally burned up my entire social battery on Twitter last night, so here are a few more names before I take a brief break from both sites:
USC Trojan Team Nurses: Jeffrey Davis, Ashley Young, Binh Nguyen
USC Trojan Assistants: Angela Lewis (Angie), Antonio Jones (Tony), Roberta Blackwell (Bobby)
... Maybe this December we'll get around to the players, but have some numbers in the meantime (keeping in mind these numbers are accurate for the academic year after AftG):
Strikers : 8 Dealers : 5 Backliners : 12 Goalkeepers : 4

AND THAT ENDS THE AFTG BINGO 2020!
I know it’s September 3 (where I am, anyway), but I reblogged a couple more posts off of the tag in case I missed anything. The only post after this one will be a round-up of every entry, so I’ll take this post to wrap it all up.
Thank you so, so much to those who participated. It’s always nice (and welcome) to have the ~*veterans*~ of the fandom create content, but more than anything, what I wanted out of this Bingo is for the newer fans to come out of their shell, and for fans that have always wanted to create but never had the inspiration/the drive to be given that extra push too. After seeing all the entries here and on AO3, I think I succeeded, and for that, I’m extremely proud. AFTG isn’t mainstream (or at least not yet, in my opinion), but we sure as hell know how to pay tribute to the story we treasure and the characters we love. 
I don’t know if this event will be back next year (or next next year, since I skipped 2019 and I can make it an every-two-years thing), but one thing’s for certain: in whatever way it did, I hope this Bingo helped you cope with the pandemic. I made the AU challenge specifically for this reason, because escapism can be of help in troubling times like these. Allowing ourselves to imagine other universes can help us stay in the one we’re living in now, and you definitely don’t have to feel guilty for wanting to have some form of escape. But now that the challenge is over, I hope we can all situate ourselves back into the present, remain aware of what’s happening around us, and use what we’ve learned in creating what we’ve created to do better for ourselves and for other people. Above anything else, I hope everyone is doing okay. Let me know if I can do anything to help!
Stay safe,
Admin Dom

!!!!! The devil wears Prada au. Andrews the boss. Neil is the new guy. Except Neil stays at the end
this will not be anything remotely like the actual devil wears prada, of which is one of my favourite movies, as it’s a character-study film rather than a plot-driven one, so things wouldn’t make sense with aftg. 
i have a feeling, though, that you just want andrew treating neil like a dick and then promptly getting his ass handed back to him when neil has a makeover. now that’s something I can give to you. 
*
Really, Andrew thought, looking at the slight-shouldered, meek child in front of him. It was insulting, really. He had inherited this publication from a father he’d never known and built it into what it now was, a multimillion-dollar influence, and this was the sort of assistant he was graced with?
He had dark curls, wild in the way that box-dyed hair always was. His eyes were brown but Andrew could see the ring of lenses, so at least he had the gall not to wear glasses: they would completely ruin his face shape. Admittedly, he did have rather high cheekbones and paler lashes that fanned out across his cheeks when he blinked, but that alone couldn’t save whoever this was from the rest of his appearance. 
He’d rested a piece of paper on Andrew’s glass desk, standing back to lace his fingers behind his back. 
“Yes?” Andrew implored, when the stranger wasn’t forthcoming. 
His brow furrowed slightly. “I was recommended to apply here. I recently graduated from Palmetto State, top of my class. Whilst I would’ve preferred to go directly into journalism, it struck me as a good opportunity for some experience -” 
“So you’ve never read an issue,” Andrew drawled. He still didn’t know the man’s name. 
Thin brows furrowed themselves. “No...”
“And you’ve never been remotely invested in fashion, design or couture.” 
“No, but -” 
“And you clearly have no regard for style,” Andrew added, eyeing his faded jeans and scruffy button-down that was only barely tucked in. 
The man huffed. How old was he? “Some would say that style is an individual -” 
“That wasn’t a question. Goodbye,” he said. Those cheekbones truly were wasted on such a man. 
But then he saw something intriguing. A flash of anger, or perhaps bottled frustration, illuminated his eyes. His lips twisted ever so slightly before he stalled himself back to a neutral expression. 
It was then that Kevin hustled into the room with his portfolio, completely ignoring the small man’s presence. He dropped it down onto Andrew’s desk and flicked it open to the second page, where there was an asymmetric trouser cut and open-shirt concept in the works. Kevin was exact, articulate and always outdoing himself. That was the type of employer Andrew catered for. Not for frumpy street-rats who were too much of a squirrel to stand up for themselves. 
Andrew thought the man had left. Instead, he’d marched back up to the desk, plucked his resume out from underneath Kevin’s portfolio and slapped it back down on top. 
“My name,” he said, anger seeping into his tone. “Is Neil. I am smart and competent. Maybe this isn’t my world, but I am diligent. I know what I’m doing and I’m just as worthy a candidate as the rest of your ditzy model wannabees.” He straightened up, hooking his thumbs in the belt loops of his pockets. “Thank you for your time.” 
With that, he was gone. 
Interesting, Andrew allowed, completely ignoring Kevin as he launched into another tirade.
*
Neil kicked the door closed behind him, still pissed off. Andrew Minyard was an asshole, a tiny, dead-eyed asshole. It really was in Neil’s best interest to look elsewhere - 
hiya!!!! said a text from an unknown number, his phone buzzing in his back pocket. this is andrew’s other assistant, nicky!!!! you’re going to show up at 8.30am sharp tomorrow, or else. oh and pls don't wear jeans again!! these r andrews words, not mine. i’m so glad to have another person on the team!! see u tomoz!! xoxoxoo
Neil read the text once, then twice. 
Well. It seemed like Neil had caught Andrew’s attention.
*
uhm short and sweet i will write a p2 i think i just felt like it was a good split there

prayers are great but here are organisations you can support and donate to after the explosion in beirut, lebanon. as of right now august 4th 2020, 10 bodies have been recovered and hundreds are injured, and entire neighbourhoods including hospitals have been destroyed. we’re already in an economic crisis and famine on top of covid and our government, as usual, has done and is doing nothing to help us, much less the refugees. we still don’t know what or who set off the explosion. we have 1.5 million syrian refugees and 300k palestinian refugees who also need help.
- save the children lebanon
- muslim aid lebanon
- bassma: donations go to help families pay for health care, food boxes, clothing, education and tutoring
- anera: donate to syrian and palestinian refugee camps in lebanon
- lebanese food bank
- association najdeh for female palestinian refugees in lebanon
- lebanese red cross
- penny appeal lebanon, help buy food for children and families
- islamic relief usa / islamic relief canada
- basmeh and zeitooneh: learn about the social and economic crisis + donate here
- jusoor syria, refugee education program in lebanon
if you know of any dependable and official charities/ngos in lebanon please reblog and i will add them onto this post as well.

Hi I'm looking for a fic where Neil has DID and he's friends with Aaron and Katelyn and someone else, Aaron is the only one who knows he has DID. Neil lives alone and has a cat named Boo, I think he is in collage/uni.
A cat named Boo was a great clue!  Enjoy reading this lovely fic, anon! - S
tenuous by undertow (cendal) [Rated M, 7431 words, complete, 2018]
Neil Josten is trying to learn to be a normal person. He has an apartment and a cat. He goes to therapy every Wednesday. He has friends and attends their study group regularly. He eats lunch with his best friend's brother.The hardest part is letting people in, but he thinks that one day he'll get there.
tw: implied/referenced abuse, tw: eating disorders, tw: anxiety, tw: dissociation

honestly never saw this moment as something bad until i reread this just now. i guess i can attribute it to maggie being really good at situating her characters in such a way that they normalize this kind of behavior, leading to readers being able to normalize it too. i remember thinking of this back then as some immature outburst, but reading it now, it sounds borderline abusive (like. threatening to leash someone??? don’t think i can take that any way but abusive). hopefully i do my part as a reader (and fanfic writer) to be more critical and open-minded about these things
i know my entire blog has been gansey crit recently but
Tumblr media
i cannot be the only person who just. intensely dislikes this entire passage

ANDREW SINGING
ok don’t ask me why but in my head Andrew has got this amazing sexy low rough voice and he can actually sing very well
so one night in their dorm room Andrew is teaching Neil something about basic music culture (because poor boy never listened to some music just for fun)
and then
they find
Creep by Radiohead
and Andrew sings it, knows every word and loves that song, puts his entire broken heart and years being called a monster and all the crazy feelings Neil makes him feel in that song
when it finishes, there is a whispered “yes or no?”, very soft as not to broken the atmosphere
the same night in bed Neil asks Andrew to sing for him all his favourite songs, and the first of many habits among them is born

Past lives au!!! With Andreil!!!
- “Liar. I don’t believe you”
- “Now what? I don’t give a damn”
(Click for better quality :D)
Reblogs are appreciated
This is gonna be kinda (?) long because Im on mobile and idk how to do read mores
Time to make my history and filipino teachers proud!
So basically Renee, Dan and Matt are native Filipinos (or indio, which used to be a deregatory term used by the Spanish to coin them as stupid but is now just used to describe native Filipinos)
Renee is a babaylan (a priest-doctor, usually a position taken up by females or ‘feminine’ men)
Dan is a Gabriela Silang (she is known for being the first female leader-general of an army here)
Matt is a magsasaka (a farmer)
The cousins, i.e. Aaron, Andrew and Nicky are insulares (insulares are Spanish born in the Philippines, second in ranking to the peninsulares who were born in Spain)
Allison and Kevin are peninsulares (ok I might have based it a lil, just a LIL bit off their background in canon) who own their own private haciendas (piece of land) which is why they were able to meet the rest of the crew!
And Neil!!! He is an escape peninsulares who joined Renee, Dan and Matt (along with many others) in their small barangay (barangays are the lowest classification of places here, starting from the 3 major islands, provinces, cities, towns and then barangays :)
(Neil’s father is already dead here but he wanted a quieter life, away from the city so he posed as a mangangalakal (trader/merchant) )
And from here on, it’ll be all fluff :)
Kapag sinipag ako, isusulat o iguguhit ko ulit ang itong hc 🥺 nakakatuwa ang au na ito (Hindi, talaga. Hindi ako madalas mag tagalog sa totoong buhay dahil napakapangit ang accent ko)
Have a lovely day, to whoever read this far!
Magandang araw para sa mga tao na binasa ng buong post ko! Mahal kita na sobra sobra!!!
