❨✿❩ summary; relationships come and go, sometimes some are better than others, but what if you would have these guys as ex's?

❨✿❩ with; itoshi sae, itoshi rin, isagi yoichi, mikage reo, shidou ryusei.

SAE

Sae is the type of ex-boyfriend with whom you didn't end things on good or bad terms. After breaking up, your relationship was left in an uncomfortable limbo, where there was no clear definition of how to interact. If by chance you ran into each other occasionally in the neighborhood, the greeting was limited to a brief "hello" accompanied by a slight nod of the head.

The atmosphere on those occasions was tense and filled with a strange mix of nostalgia and unexpressed resentment. Both of you remembered the shared moments, laughter, and displays of affection, but the reasons that led to your separation were also present. It was like a delicate balance in which neither of you wanted to delve too deep into the past.

Conversations were scarce and superficial, avoiding personal and delicate topics. Glances briefly crossed paths but then averted, trying to avoid discomfort. Although Sae tried to be polite and courteous, there was a slight tension in his expression, as if he too were remembering the reasons things didn't work out.

There was no evident animosity or open disputes, but there was also no desire to rekindle the friendship or rebuild what once was. It was as if both silently accepted that their story together had come to an end, and their connection now was limited to distant and polite recognition.

RIN

If the elder Itoshi was indifferent, then the younger one avoided you like the plague.

Rin Itoshi stood out for his evasive and distant attitude after the breakup. From the first week, he made sure to erase any trace of you from his social media, deleting photos in which you appeared together and blocking you to avoid any visual contact.

When encountering you in inevitable situations, such as social events or common places, he did everything possible to avoid contact and acted as if he had never shared a history with you. His gaze shifted, his gestures turned cold, and his conversation was reduced to what was strictly necessary.

His goal seemed to be to make it clear that he no longer wanted any kind of connection with you. He avoided mentioning the past, any conversation related to the relationship, or any trace of nostalgia. He acted as if he had never known you, denying any emotional connection that had existed between you.

But although his attitude may seem insensitive or harsh, it was his way of dealing with the breakup and finding his own path forward. Everyone has their own way of facing the end of a relationship, and in Rin's case, his approach was to stay distant and avoid any possible conflict or feelings of nostalgia.

ISAGI

He's the kind of ex-boyfriend with whom you definitely maintain a solid friendship even after breaking up. Unlike many exes, Isagi showed genuine concern for your well-being and was willing to support you at any time.

If you were sick and needed help, Isagi was the first person to offer to take care of you. With his compassionate and kind attitude, he made sure you felt comfortable and cared for during your recovery. Whether it was bringing you hot soup, getting medication, or simply being by your side to offer companionship, Isagi was always ready to help you in difficult times.

Furthermore, if you ever found yourself in an emergency situation, such as losing the keys to your apartment, Isagi became your savior. It didn't matter the time or the circumstances; he would be there to offer his support. He became the person you could call at any time to get help and solutions.

His presence in your life was comforting, and you knew you could rely on him in any situation. Isagi shattered the negative stereotypes associated with ex-boyfriends and became a true friend to trust.

REO

This guy... I'll just say he belongs to the worst kind of ex-boyfriend category. After the breakup, Reo showed no signs of getting over the relationship and clung to the hope of a possible reconciliation. His behavior became overwhelming and persistent, becoming a constant presence in your life through phone calls and text messages.

Reo believed that his attempts at communication were spontaneous and natural, but in reality, they were intrusive and unhealthy. He didn't respect the boundaries or the space you needed to move on. His insistence on staying in touch, despite your clear signals that you needed space and time to heal, created a sense of oppression and discomfort.

Instead of respecting your decision to move on, Reo clung to the hope of rekindling what you had, failing to understand that time and circumstances had changed. His refusal to accept the reality of the breakup and his lack of respect for your emotional needs demonstrated immaturity and a lack of understanding of boundaries.

Ultimately, Mikage Reo became one of the worst kinds of ex-boyfriends, unable to accept the reality of the breakup and respect your personal space. His constant attempts at contact only perpetuated the pain and hindered your healing and personal growth process.

Although who are we kidding? You would definitely get back together with him in a month, only to separate again.

SHIDOU

The worst of them all, he's practically capable of posting a naked photo on Instagram with the caption "Back in the game" in red letters.

He was capable of anything to grab attention and provoke emotions after the breakup. His behavior was manipulative and egotistical, using social media as a tool to generate jealousy and rekindle your interest.

Shidou actively sought a new partner and did everything possible to publicly showcase his "new life" and apparent happiness. He would post provocative and enigmatic photos on Instagram with the clear goal of grabbing your attention and eliciting an emotional response from you.

Instead of dealing with the breakup in a healthy and respectful way, Shidou chose manipulative and unethical strategies to stay in your mind and life. His goal was to generate an emotional reaction in you and maintain control, rather than allowing you to move on and find happiness in other aspects of your life.

All in all, Shidou Ryusei stood out as the worst kind of ex-boyfriend, using social media as a tool to emotionally manipulate you and create a sense of rivalry and competition. His actions reflected a lack of emotional maturity and deep selfishness, showing little regard for your feelings and well-being.

btw i see the "we might have to kill this guy" panel shared out of context like all the time so i dont think u nor anyone else participating in the trend r being dickheads , but the original comic its from is called "Steven universe VS Hitler" & it is insanely insensitive & strange . As a jewish person it makes me kind of uncomfortable to see it spread around as like a cute redraw without ppl knowing what its from yk ? <- Not trying to like harp on you specifically or anything i dont think you are being a dickhead on purpose at all, just dont want it getting silly redraw-ified without people being told the full context & all that

I didn't know the context, and from what I could see, a lot of people didn't. i understand why it is an insensitive comic even if, from my perspective, it is mostly a bad criticism for a show's constantly misinterpreted message. If it's a huge problem, i can delete it, but i think out of context its pretty far enough removed from the source material to just be a meme redraw spawning from the original tweet, if that makes sense...? correct me if im wrong, though. I'll delete it for real if it causes too much discomfort. The last thing I want is to be insensitive. please just let me know.

on the subject of AO3 comments actually, I didn't want to put this in the tags of that last post but like. not a fucking day goes by now that I don't think about this one particular comment somebody left on one of my merthur fics from like, two years ago.

it was for Judge Not in My Absence, and in it, I BRIEFLY mention that Gwen - in this au version of events - chose not to marry Arthur and instead became a midwife (I used the wrong term in the fic but tbh I am too lazy to go back and change it, though I probably will at some point; I referred to her as a wetnurse) for the women in the lower town. I needed her to have a childcare related job for a spin off I was planning at the same time in the same au. Nothing disparaging was said about Gwen (love her) or about midwives or anything.

this one commenter came in, and said "I really think you should look up the history of black women and wetnurses, it's not pretty."

I think about that comment every day.

yes, I am aware of the history, but I didn't pick that career for Gwen because of her ethnicity. I picked it because I needed her to be in relation to childcare for a reason. not just casual proximity to a child, but in childcare, involved in it, emotionally invested in it. could I have done a better job at explaining that? yes, definitely. could I have picked a better career for Gwen? probably, I'm not sure. I could've had her pick up work as a seamstress as she did in canon, or take over her father's forge as a blacksmith, I suppose, but neither of those would've given the same incentive to the spin off I wrote for her path. so yes, I went with midwifery. it just made the most sense to me at the time.

that comment, though, has stuck with me for two years. I didn't delete it because, well, it was a fair concern, shared without malice or insult, and there was nothing really to be angry about. I understand why the comment was left in the first place. and I still think about it daily.

the point I'm trying to make here, and doing a horrible job of, is that the stuff you leave in comments has an impact on the writers who receive those comments. it may not be the impact that you intended when you made the comment. I don't know what that particular commenter intended when they made the comment on my fic, but it has stuck with me for two years, and it has undoubtedly made me more conscious of the choices I make in my writing. because I don't want to receive that kind of comment again, but I know that I probably will. I'm not so arrogant to assume that I'll never write anything off-kilter or inconsiderate or insensitive ever again, despite my best intentions.

you can't please everyone, as a writer, and you shouldn't strive to. that's how you end up with tropey, incoherent writing projects. all you can do is write what you want, write what you would be happy to read, and hope that like-minded readers find it enjoyable too.

as a commenter, though. know that your words have an impact, for good or ill, and its up to you to decide what kind of impact you want to make. a negative or cruel comment at just the wrong time can be the thing that makes a writer quit writing. a positive, uplifting, or even constructively critical comment (like the one I've been thinking about) can be the thing that encourages a writer to keep going, because at least they know that someone has enjoyed what they've written.

tldr; don't be an ass when you leave comments, you never know what kind of impact it'll have.

Sometimes I see an horrendously bad take on twitter. Baffling level of stupidity. Rage-inducing amount of insensitivity. Making me wish I could walk to this person and yell about how much idiocy they're spewing around like a bad smell.

Sometimes I will actually type a response. Spend minutes crafting all my vitriol into the limited characters at my disposal. I'll pour all my contempt over the sources and information I will pull to showcase how wrong wrong wrong they are.

And then.

I delete it.

I don't post it, I delete my draft, and i move on. Usually, the amount of effort required to type it all over again weighs too much against my need to do litterally anything else.

If I really need to let it out, I then go to my friends to bitch in private, but otherwise this person who pissed me off so much will never know how mean I could have been.

I think that's a trick more people could use.

Not sure if it can work this way, but if you can transfer one Connor's mind into the body of another, switching their places, why can't it also mean, that it would work between different models?

So let's say there's this Traci model suspected with a crime, she willingly stretches her hand to share her memories about the incident, but while Connor is going through her related memories, she transfers herself into his body, and the moment he notices It's already too late.

"Nothing" says Traci with her new body in Connor's voice, "Let's get out of here" she nods to Hank and moves away.

Hank follows her as Connor is shocked with sudden realisation.

This post ended up being longer than expected, read it at your own risk. I am not even sure that I should even post it, but fuck it. I may or may not delete it later

"Hank, don't let her get away!" he exclaims looking at what he used to know as himself leaving. (I imagine there's some sort of barrier between them with holes big enough to stretch a hand, but not enough to fit through entirely)

"I'll wait in the car" says Tracy with Connor's lips moving forward without stopping.

"Don't listen to her, it's not me!"

Hank looks confused from Traci to Connor whose heading away, he looks back at Traci to witness her concerned expression, hands pressed against the barrier.

"She transferred herself into my body." Connor finally explains and Hank's expression shifts accordingly. He rushes away to catch the Tracy, but she'd already started the engine, Hank looks at her driving away. Not only she hijacked Connor's body but also Hank's vehicle.

"Gone" says Hank when he finally returns back to the barrier separating him from Connor on the other side, "She won't get far, not in my fucking car, police is already trying to track it"

----

Hank's car was found relatively fast, it was left only a few blocks away from the original place it was carjacked, however no sign of Tracy, or, what looked like Connor, was there to track.

New body feels foreign, but at the same time it's weirdly exciting. Thinking about it as temporary is relieving. Considering the possibility of it being permanent on the other hand is not something Connor even allows himself to think about. Of course they'll find her and get his body back, this will definitely happen, eventually, after all there's only one active Connor model so it shouldn't take too long to spot it, but for now, why not explore this body. At first it gave Connor a hope that it'll make it easier for Hank to like him — he was always much more kind and polite around pretty woman, or what looked like pretty woman, so maybe, just maybe it'll change something in a way Hank perceived Connor. And it did indeed changed, but not the way he would like it to. Expectedly, Hank started to act a bit more awkward and considerate around him, but instead of making it easier to get closer it made it much harder than it used to be before instead. Hank started avoiding him – Connor wasn't getting any kind of physical touch anymore, not a pat on the shoulder, nothing. Hank deliberately avoided getting anywhere near close to him to touch even on accident . It wasn't the only change. He started to act kinder to him, more patient, there were no usual teasing and jokes that could be considered insensitive by someone else. It was as if there was this Tracy standing next to them at all times, although Connor WAS the Tracy.

In a way, this change of character was offending. It was only the body that changed, not who's inside of it, but this change was big enough to completely alter the way Hank interacted with him, the kind of friendly connection they used to have before now turned into awkward alienation. The way he looked at him, or, instead, the way he avoided looking anywhere near him, the way he tried to be more polite. Previous excitement from a promising opportunity to change something in their relationships disappeared, the change that happened was frustrating to say the least, and after a while Connor started to feel completely repulsed by this alteration in Hank's behaviour towards him.

Expectedly, all DPD rights associated with his model was revoked, but no new rights were granted. Now he would have to ask for help every time he wanted to access some parts of the building or files on the computer that required any authorisation that he no longer had because his Tracy's body wasn't registered within the system. Processing power was also lower, he couldn't process information at even half the speed he was normally capable of, attempts to force it was causing the overheating, making even the casual attempts to preconstruct something or analyse painfully slow. It shouldn't have come as a surprised when the attempt to analyse a sample didn't bring any results - he confused it with a glitch at first, but after another sample didn't bring any results, realisation that the reason for that wasn't actually a malfunction but just the whole absence of according sensors in Tracy's model hit him. Each day he would discover another missing piece of him that he would previously take for granted and gradually it turned into resentment. Towards this new body of him, towards Hank who kept avoiding him, towards the Tracy who hijacked his body and towards himself for not spotting it in time, for letting it happen. For everything that followed. For a glimpse of previous excitement he allowed himself to feel while still thinking it would only take a few days at most to get his original body back.

Finally, after about two weeks Tracy possessing Connor's body was spotted with one of the security cameras as a result of attempted robbery. Why would she even need to rob any place at all? Not like androids needed much more than a bag of thirium every two weeks or so depending on their model and energy efficiency. Was it for pure excitement or for some other reasons?

The moment they got the news, Connor's thirium pump increased its rate impatiently. Here it was, the moment he waited, it'll soon be finally over when he finally face that Tracy again. Burning excitement mixed with rage bubbled inside him during the whole ride to the place that Tracy was last spotted, just to be replaced with complete emptiness the moment they arrived to see the aftermath of the events. The owner of the place shot the intruder and the trace of blue blood left with an attempt to escape eventually lead them to what once used to be Connor's body. Dead and damaged.

Even so Connor couldn't resist the urge to touch it, grab it around the wrist in a desperate attempt to interface, to transfer back, even if it is for the imminent death. In this moment he would much rather preferred to be dead in his own body than trapped within the one he got instead, the one he learned to resent. He wished to destroy and corrupt it the moment he saw his own expressionless face beneath him. Fixing Tracy's body would be easy, the model was widely popular and had a variety of places that offered a repair or spare parts. Connor's model didn't have a luxury or spare parts — if it was damaged it wasn't replaceable, not anymore.

As Connor was clinging to the body he once owned, processing the loss, he felt the weight of Hank's hand on his shoulder - the first time the man finally found the courage to touch him in weeks. It didn't bring any comfort, instead it only served as a reminder of what he lost along with his original self.

Daryl calling Laurent creepy seems OOC (except for s1 Daryl) but Daryl was already very cold towards Henry and probably thought he was useless or at least he didnt want to have anything with him. He only cared because he was Carol's kid.

He barely shared any scenes with Carl and when he said " i would have died for him" ir was, to me, only becaise it was Rick's kid. In that regard, he would have died for Henry too.

The only kids he really cares about are are Judith and RJ because he actually had time to have a growing bond with them.

Even Sophia, he only went though hell to find her because he was really, deeply, though unable to admit it at the time, devoted to Carol. If he had time to bond with her, that would have been different (with Carl though, they had 8 seasons, and no excuse : bad writing. Thank God they fixed it with Judith mainly, and RJ).

All this to say that he doesnt have "a thing" for kids, to me. But Laurent is probably gonna change that, and well, Aaron sid say "you re going to be a gread dad one day" or something like that so.. this has to led somewhere, even 10 000 seasons later, right?

I dont think he's gonna find Laurent creepy anymore after a few eps. He s probably gonna care for him a lot. Laurent is mysterious and interesting to me.

And i dont mind anyway, as long as the endgame is Caryl and team family.

Just my two cents of course

Well, I think Daryl was more agitated that he had to look after the kid Carol adopted with another man rather than at Henry's naivety, but yes, he did it for Carol. If we choose to accept deleted scenes as canon, we could say Daryl wasn't very kind to Sophia or Carl at first. I don't think he had the skillset to deal with kids in the early days of the show, but his bond with Carol and with Rick taught him how to bond/ look after their children. Then there's Lydia, who he also wasn't kind to at first, but she was introduced as an antagonist, so that explains that. With Laurent though, Daryl's attitude reads as insensitive to me, and since the kid isn't presenting himself as a threat and he doesn't belong to someone he's had time to form a bond with, I'm just not sure what's prompting it. It feels off.

I'm not saying their relationship won't grow. Of course it will. But we're meant to believe he'll grow so attached to him, he starts to feel torn between his family back home and the new connections he's made. That's what the synopsis suggested, didn't it? That's what gives me pause. Because Daryl is a character known for his loyalty (to TF) and for taking a long time to form meaningful attachments. So I'm very skeptical a bond that deep between Daryl and Laurent can be properly earned in 6 episodes. I expect it to feel forced and I expect it to undermine what makes Daryl Daryl to me and to cheapen the endgame for Caryl and for TF. If the next 5 episodes prove otherwise, I'll gladly take it, but that is my biggest concern at the moment.

Thank you for dropping in your two cents. I appreciate it!

Did you see the ableist comment Cole and Jack made on the LowIQ Podcast that’s making the rounds on tik tok? They’re so gross and just goes to show can we stop making mediocre men famous, because wtf are they on to think they can talk about women that way in 2024 and come out unscathed, it’s not even funny, it shows their young male audience to treat women like that. Disgraceful.

???? I'll be honest, I have not!

TikTok's been deleted from my phone, given that GCSEs are right around the corner + I gotta fix up, but let me try find what you're referencing

OKAY! So, half hour on TikTok later (i also got distracted), I think they took the OG podcast clip down from their TikTok (if they ever psoted it there) and I've found a woman stitching the OG clip instead:

I'll be honest: I didn't watch her commentary on it, but I do know the clip now.

It's just foul really... I feel like there's this genre of man in particular (s'pose it applies to women too) whereby they've recieved a lot of whatever they've wanted without any struggle or hustle, because people are always there for them - and because of that, they don't grow key human interaction skills like fucking

EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING

which makes for a good, sort of balanced and understanding human.

The clip of Jack? It really just reeks of insensitivity and a lack of understanding and empathy to the actual situation.

I suppose that as content creators and podcast hosts they've got to keep an episode light hearted... entertaining... comedic... But I'm just not all for hypothesising about death and gore and then laughing at that, which does (as the video shows) have impacts on real life people who have undergone trauma which they joke about.

And you're so very right anon, because viewers will of course be influenced by this - particularly young, sorta mentally-adaptable viewers who think that this "dark" comedy is so shockingly funny and boundary-breaking - they mentally normalise or humour this idea of laughing at "dark" subjects which in turn, just breeds insensitivity, ignorance and people being pricks :/

hello friends !! with some posts that have been floating around on the dash i wanted to talk a little bit about some of the topics. trigger warning for alcoholism/addiction, please take that into account. so you all know what i'll be talking about, i will be discussing my struggles with addiction ( not in depth, just talking about it ), and charlie's alcoholism and addictions.

i've been open about my drinking on this blog and my multi muse before. i am an alcoholic, and i'm currently working to quit drinking. charlie is also an alcoholic. i wanted to say that if i am ever making too much light of addiction, or not writing it in a respectful manner, please reach out to me. i try my best to not view it as some sort of joke or not a serious manner, it's incredibly serious. alcoholism an addiction are not things to just brush off. as someone who struggles daily with drinking i understand that. i have been trying to make jokes about my struggles a lot less because i recognize that even though i am using humor to cope, other people might now find it funny or respectful.

i just want everyone to know that this is a safe space, and if something i am writing is ever insensitive or triggering please let me know and i will either adjust or delete the post. i want you all to feel comfortable coming to me about things like this.

i will continue to tag all ooc/ic pots that mention drinking, alcoholism, or addiction with the trigger format ____ // ( ex: alcoholism //, alcohol //, alcohol mention //, drug mention //, drug use // ). i want you all to be familiar with how i am tagging these. if you need me to tag these triggers in a different way please let me know and i will do so !!

also, i'm not trying to be like "oh i'm an alcoholic so what i'm doing is fine". i'm being open and honest with you all because i feel comfortable sharing it, and i want you all to know that i feel comfortable writing about charlie's addiction because i am going through it as well.

i hope this all makes sense and love to you all <;3

Let's Talk.

! I got permission to talk about this. His Pronouns are He/They/It so I'll be referring to him with these throughout the post. ! THIS IS NOT A CALL OUT POST TO ANY ONE SPECIFIC PERSON!

TWs: Nazi Mention, Ableism

Earlier, one of my partners made a post on his blog (shout out go follow he's a rascal). This is the post.

As you can tell from his post, he's source positive and fairly source connected. And if you aren't familiar with his source, Habit (the character he introjected from) is not often regarded fondly nor a very good person. And it recognizes this.

But this isn't a character study this is a PSA.

On that post someone commented (now deleted)

"Shut up nazi"

Now, I'm all for telling Nazis to shut the fuck up - but comments like these are entirely uncalled for.

Their blog is not a role play blog, fictional characters are not real, this is a real fucking person.

Don't call random fucking people "Nazis" unless they're OBVIOUSLY a nazi - Which Habit is not.

There are countless hours of progress from both him and I working through any leftover harmful ideologies and compulsions. Even if he *is* closely tied to his source, even if he *was* a persecutor, PEOPLE CHANGE.

You can't just leave comments like these towards people you DO NOT KNOW.

So, what is the point of this post anyway?

DO NOT TREAT INTROJECTS LIKE THEIR SOURCE! - Yes, Habit's source character was a nazi, let's get that out of the way. But you CANNOT expect all introjects of certain characters to be exactly as they were in source.

ALLOW PERSECUTORS TO HEAL! - Not allowing persecutors to change and grow as people is ableist! Do not hold persecutors the the standard you originally knew them as!

DON'T CALL PEOPLE NAZIS WITHOUT BACKING UP THAT CLAIM! - I am not Jewish and don't want to speak over Jewish people in this regard though, calling people Nazis without any backing or reasoning as to WHY you feel their ideologies align with that of the nazi party IS INSENSITIVE AND IGNORANT TO THE STRUGGLES OF JEWISH PEOPLE! (My family is Romanian on my father's side so this seriously pissed me off too as my family was also a target of The Holocasut and is still targeted by neo nazis.)

DON'T TALK TO INTROJECTS LIKE YOU KNOW THEM! - Even if you're source mates, unless you're friends with the system don't fucking talk to strangers like you're buddy buddy just because you shared a source. Just fucking stop. You don't know that person.

BE NORMAL ABOUT INTROJECTS! SYSTEMS CANNOT CONTROL WHO THEY INTROJECT! - Hate or love a person/character that person/character IS NOT the introject. DO NOT FUCKING TREAT INTROJECTS LIKE THEY ARE THEIR SOURCE!

Why not let Habit make this post? - His blog isn't centered to DID. It's his PERSONAL blog. He shouldn't have to explain this for one. And for two I care a hell of a lot more than it does. I'm fucking sick of my partnered system being a target of harassment!

Why do you care if they don't? - Because this type of b behavior doesn't just affect one person. It affects an entire community. People like this could affect you if you have introjects.

So the final point I'm trying to make is:

INTROJECTS ARE NOT THEIR SOURCE! DO NOT TREAT THEM THAT WAY!

Introjects are just normal fucking people. They are strangers to you. You do not know them. Even though Habit is fandom positive and doesn't mind interactions, I'm still just fucking sick of people treating alters like toys. You cannot claim to know a stranger on the internet so fucking stop that shit. I've seen it. My friends have been through it.

You have GOT to be normal about introjects. You have GOT to be normal about strangers. If you can't do that, maybe you're not ready for the internet.

TLDR; Treat Introjects like strangers; like people. Because that's what they are to you.

i honestly don't think it was that shady that he cropped out vanessa? i know you really liked them together (austin and vanessa) but if we're going off there old mutual friends (who are still friends with austin and not vanessa). maybe she wasn't that all too good of a person, like random people, like wait staff, like their neighbors claimed. there have been many instances where she's proven not only to be awful to austin but she's just a plain ignorant person who openly is a zionist, was extremely disrespectful not only during covid but during blm, openly defends pedophiles, has cultural appropriated black, desi, and native american culture for the sake of her music videos, photoshoots and going to coachella. she's the global tourism ambassador of a country run by someone who should be in prison more or less for all the crimes he's committed. she's not a good person, she does not care, she thrives off playing the victim. i know you say, if she treated him so bad why did there relationship last so long? she's simply a narcissist.

after all she's put austin through, liking posts mocking him, commenting under posts mocking him, commenting on all his ex's posts only for her comments to get deleted by them, posting shady instagram stories about him day in and day out while she's married. i think the last thing that should be considered shady is an old friend of his respecting his privacy by not including vanessa in the photo. they were the ones who defended him in the comments when he was bullied and harassed off social media, a harassment campaign mind you that she started.

(i hope this doesn't come off rude, it's certainly not my intention, i just get irritated seeing vanessa be given the benefit of the doubt time and time again).

Hey Anon...

WOW.... 👀

Thank you for your input. First off, I'll just say that I usually don't ever take sides when it comes to relationship breakups. Mainly because I was NOT in the relationship, and I only know a fraction of what that relationship was like, and the issues surrounding the breakup. With celebrity couples, there's the extra added reality that Idk these people closely and personally irl. 🤷🏾‍♀️ So, unless there's some actual evidence of wrongdoing during a relationship, I usually just stay neutral lol.

I embellish more below if you're interested in reading....👇(Pull up a Chair)

Plus, I've seen a LOT of these couples (not just celebrity couples, but also irl) break up, and then later on down the line get back together again lol. And then, what do I look like if I've been villainizing one half of the couple, and then they get back together again?? 😅

LISTENNNN lol.... I have seen this happen so many times (even irl) that now days I just nod, look solemn, and offer tissues to my girl friends if they go through a breakup, but I don't say anything too damaging about their ex boyfriend or whatever lol. Cuz one minute you'll be cursing them out to your friend, and then the next thing you know, months later, they get back together and then she's mad at YOU for the things you said about her "Man".... 😒

I'm not saying Austin and Vanessa would ever get back together (I kinda feel like they're two totally different people now?), I'm just saying that after what I personally saw with Ben and JLo? I don't EVER put ANYTHING past exes anymore...especially exes who dated each other for a long number of years, or were engaged, or were close to engagement, etc. 😅

With that said, while I did like Austin and Vanessa when they were dating (I thought they were cute together and seemed really into each other), I have heard and seen some of the shady stuff Vanessa has done over the years...especially after their breakup.

Idk about her "Zionism" (I don't follow her all that closely tbh), but I def didn't appreciate her comments about covid....I felt they were VERY insensitive during the pandemic, and I've seen the receipts on her insensitive and totally out-of-place comments during the world's BLM rally in 2020. 😤 This is the one that really boggles my mind, cuz while Vanessa in 2020 was out there spouting "ALL Lives Matter" during BLM, Austin was publicly posting on his IG about the abomination of what happened to George Floyd and called his White brothers and sisters out on their white privilege, and told them to not just sit there blindly and quietly, but to do something in helping out in the cause. How two people who dated each other could be so totally wildly different in values just blows my mind.... 🥴

I don't HATE Vanessa, but yes, I agree with you, she can be petty, and some of the things she's done in the past have been BEYOND shady. Not to mention, how she behaved after their breakup when Austin was getting shine for "Elvis". Look, I understand being hurt after a breakup (that's understandable), but I've always been one of those "keep it classy" in public, and vent to your girlfriends in PRIVATE type of people.

So yea I totally get it why some Austin fans don't particularly care for V like that. I think that's valid. I've heard the rumors also about how she supposedly treated Austin during their relationship. Part of me feels like a lot of this is just hearsay. First of all, I don't think EITHER of them would have been together for as long as they were together (9 years) if things were THAT crappy in their relationship. I'm sorry, but especially if you're a celebrity with OPTIONS, you're not staying in a relationship that you're unhappy in. They are both two attractive people. They could have had just about ANYBODY in that span of time that they were together. So, the fact that they were together for so long, I assume that they were happy for the most part! As much as some fans of Austin (especially Kaustin Shippers) hate to admit it, Austin was with Vanessa for almost a decade. That's a LONG time. You can't just erase that part of his history. If things were that bad, I doubt he would have been with her that long. Every couple has their issues, and maybe some fans just overheard her saying certain mean things to him when they were having an argument?? 🤷🏾‍♀️ I don't think people are all saints or all devils. I think MOST people are a combo of BOTH? We all make mistakes and have our not-so-great moments from time to time. While I don't love Vanessa, at the same time, those Austin fans who HATE V beyond reason are really kind of sus to me. Just like, the V stans who hate Austin for just existing are also seriously sus to me..... especially when V was ALWAYS gushing about that man every chance she got when they were together. Like, something ain't adding up...I'm sorry. 🤔 The math ain't mathing. He too has always spoken nothing but GOOD things about Vanessa? Now, maybe he's just being a classy guy and keeping his real thoughts to himself lol, but either way, he personally hasn't spoken or even hinted at anything negative w/her. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I DO think V (and her stans) had something to do with a lot of the hate and bullying that Austin received during the "Elvis" press tour, and I think he handled it very well, considering everything that he went through.

With Eric, I kind of feel like he DIDN'T really need to add that last photo on there? He already had a ton of photos with Austin that he was using. He could have kept that last one out imo. And his caption seemed to be a bit shady towards V, but maybe he didn't intend it that way? Perhaps he was ONLY just talking about all of the hate Austin got online regarding the "Elvis Voice" thing.

But anyway, thanks for your input Anon... I didn't take offense to it at all... I hope you don't take what I've said the wrong way. 😊

"I don’t understand why everyone seems to dislike Hannah can someone fill me in what happened what did she do to make he be this disliked"

I've been here since the beginning so I'll try to give you the lore in an impartial way (I wanna clarify that I don't care for Hannah, I'm super neutral when it comes to her. Even though I'm part of one of the many minorities she has attacked)

To begin with, people never actually liked Hannah. They just never did. People often wanna use the stuff she's done as an excuse to justify the heat they send her way, but honestly, she started receiving hate immediately after it became known that she and Sam were dating. People kept saying that she 'rubbed them the wrong way' and that 'she seemed sus' but could never provide any arguments as to why, instead they just attacked her physical appearance. There was a time period in the fandom, very early on in her and Sam's relationship, where people were obsessed with talking negatively and in extreme detail about her feet, her toes, her gums, her lips and her hairline. They even used pictures of her as a child to bully her. It was super dehumanizing and it was def a very weird time to be around; it was actually around this time that I chose to delete my blog. Many people in this fandom share those exact same physical traits with her so unsurprisingly people were very triggered by these comments.

The thing is, though, that the people who said that Hannah 'always rubbed them the wrong way' weren't completely wrong. There was something about her that immediately let you know she wasn't a great person. First of all, she was in a long-term relationship and living together with her then-drummer Graham when she decided she wanted to pursue Sam, who was also in a long-term relationship and living with Joy. Suddenly, Joy was out here posting stories talking about emotional abuse, meanwhile, Hannah was taking selfies in Sam's bedroom and posting them. It has since been confirmed multiple times by people close to Graham, and by the friends of Graham's new girlfriend that essentially, both Hannah and Sam actively sabotaged their own relationships so they could be together and as a result, they deeply hurt and traumatized both Graham and Joy.

In addition to this, there's also the fact that Hannah is extremely tone-deaf, insensitive, and borderline narcissistic when it comes to talking about civil rights and activism. Multiple times in the past she has used riots, shootings, and racially-motivated crimes to promote her own music, and I wish I was making this up, but she has literally said things like "this movement needs ME and my voice" when talking about BLM, or other civil right movements.

One time people bought tickets for a show she hadn't even booked and she did nothing to resolve the situation. I'm unaware of whether people eventually got refunded or not though.

She has imaginary beef with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift for no reason other than the fact that they're pop artists, and she follows Scooter Brown even though everyone knows what he did to Taylor. This might sound like something minor and petty to you, but to me, it speaks volumes about her character. She has internalized misogyny issues she needs to resolve.

Lastly, the most recent thing that happened, and what finally made people lose their shit in the worst way possible: Her old tweets from 2012-2016 (which you can still find screenshots of) resurfaced, and they're terrible. She called latinos 'beaners', she used the N word, she was extremely fatphobic, homophobic, and ableist. MULTIPLE TIMES. The apology she issued did nothing to fix the situation because she basically victimized herself. When she realized people were not forgiving her, she started blocking everyone. Sam started blocking people too.

And now whenever people call her out she just shrugs it off and says people are envious of her because she's too girlboss and in order to not be criticized she'd have to be a nobody.

So... Yeah. Basically she's a terrible person, but people still severely bullied her prior to knowing all of this. Honestly this is probably going to be a hot take but imo, Hannah Wicklund and the GVF stans who bully her are quite literally in the same boat.

Movies that Might Make Good Musicals in My Opinion & Why

So I made a list of musicals that might make good movie musicals before, so now I'll do vice versa. Just like most list I make, this will be long, detailed, and possibly edited later. Sorry, lol.

Dead Poets Society

So I've heard talk of this already existing or being in development, but I haven't seen anything, so this might just be more of a “what I hope for” thing. The movie was also already a stage show. This should have a John Patrick Shanley’s Prodigal Son type vibe, not just because Robert Sean Leonard is in that show too, but the sense of the script and feel of the show. I can see the music having a Spring Awakening sound to it. I think a musical would be a great way to improve upon the film in some areas, like Knox and Chris’s romance that bordered on creepy (and underdeveloped), and the Nuwanda stuff that was pretty insensitive to Native Americans. Also, maybe change how... white the film was, in terms of cast and extras. Brown v. Board had happened by 1959; there could've been students of color (maybe the casting reflected how rigid Welton Academy was, but that should be acknowledged, which it wasn't, if so). And please keep Neil and Todd’s queer subtext, or better yet, make the queerness explicit. And I don't know if he can sing or anything, but I'd die to see Ethan Hawke, or really any of the og poets play Keating. Ethan now just reminds me the most of Keating for some reason, and I think it’d be touching.

Wild Nights with Emily

Emily Dickinson’s poems are famous for being pretty musical, so a musical about her would be cool. Wild Nights with Emily is one of my favorite piece of media about Dickinson because it doesn't portray her as a boring shut-in who wrote boring poetry, a far cry from who she was. It was also the right amount of silly for me personally (I love Apple TV’s Dickinson, but the modern humor could be a bit much for me sometimes. But that's just a me thing, not an inherent flaw of the show. It's storyline is also a bit too long for a musical, it being a series). Turning Emily’s poems to songs would be easy (?) because of how she wrote them; they already fit songs like "House of the Rising Sun", "The Yellow Rose of Texas", etc. Dickinson’s “Split The Lark” song kills me every time (straight up cast Ella Hunt in this hypothetical show would be a cool idea). And I could see Mabel singing lines from Emily's poems and warping them as a villain song since she seemingly did that in real life.

The Sandlot

I love musicals staring a bunch of kids. I like feeling impressed and like they're more talented than me. The Sandlot would be fun. I could see it being performed in the round. I don't have many detailed thoughts about this one right now honestly. I just like the idea. And I love this movie.

Rocketman

This one feels like it was supposed to be on stage from the get-go. The movie, especially during the title number, felt like the world’s most detailed proshot. Not a flaw to me, but to some.

The Iron Giant

I'm glad this once underrated flick has gotten more attention over the years. Even though it's amazing, I always felt like there could be more to it. Like we could develop Dean and Annie's relationship beyond one or two-ish scenes of bonding and boom! Relationship. Or maybe cut out their romantic connection entirely, as it's not necessary. And include the deleted scene (that was included in the extended cut) of Dean seeing Giant’s dream projected on the his TV so that his views on Giant changing when he almost attacks Hogarth make a bit more sense. I think it wouldn't hurt for the story to be longer. I don't know how the technicalities of the show would work with Giant and how big he is. There's a King Kong musical, so maybe something like that, or of course scaling down Giant in the process but still making him big. It’d be an impressive puppet.

Secondhand Lions

This film should be a classic! If you haven't seen the it I recommend it. It has a similar-esque story to The Iron Giant, being about a boy making friends with a non human creature (a lion if you didn't guess). The film just deserves more attention. EDIT: So I recently rewatched this film and notice what might be the actor playing young Garth (who's white) with a painted face to look darker during one of Hub’s backstories. It might've just been the lighting on the scene, but it might not be. This would obviously be really bad, so some kind of musical remake could be an opportunity to fix this issue. Just a heads up that it might be there.

Pippi Longstocking

If you can't tell, kids' movies to me would be the easiest to turn into musicals. I grew up with the Swedish version of Pippi (English dubbed) thanks to my dad. I loved it, along with the American film, cartoon, and even the Shirley Temple Show version. It could work as a musical. The films and show already had their own different theme songs.

The Lorax

I know this might sound odd. Of all the films on this list, I want this one the most. The Illumination film, while fun, had a lot of flaws (no shame if you still liked it), such as marketing for the film contradicting its own message, the film being too safe, etc. But that's exactly why I think a stage show would work. It could improve on the film. Like having better characterization and being less gimmicky. I would also want it to be a bit more faithful to the book/TV short film in a few ways. If it's possible on stage, I liked the idea of obscuring The Once-Ler’s face to symbolize that he could be anyone, including the audience if they let themselves. Maybe even make Once-Ler a gender-ambiguous role to reflect that more. And the story ending with the child (Ted in the film, unnamed in the book/TV short) being given the tree seed and walking away from The Once-Ler’s home, reminding the audience that there is hope to save the trees, but it hasn't been done yet, as the trees are still in danger unless people care to help the trees. The film’s very happy ending arguably only serves as inspiration porn rather than actually teaching people to care about the trees. I could see “Let It Grow” staying in some way as a song sung by The Lorax and his animal friends in the beginning when Once-Ler first arrives at the forest, trying to convince him to not harm the trees. Maybe even obscure the child’s identity and gender to symbolize that they could be anyone as well. Make the Once-Ler’s rise to greed longer than just one song. You don't destroy the trees in a day. You don't become a monster in a day. It would hit better. And make Once-Ler’s destruction a conscious choice rather than blame his unawareness of the trees' deaths. Maybe even have him lie initially about his awareness of the trees to Thneedvile till he confesses to the kid that he did know, but didn't care so he could make money. Companies lie like that all the time. Imagine a scene immediately after his full transmission to evil (“How Bad Can I Be?” in the film) where he looks upon the treeless land and actually looks apathetic towards it and only cares when he realizes it will ruin his business since he can't find an alternative to tree fluff/leaves; he doesn't express true care till he talks about it to the child/Ted, as he's only realized his folly over the years. There are some things from the film that could be saved, like the memorial Lorax and the animals have for the UNLESS tree. That was the best addition the film made. And include the cut song “Biggering” rather than “How Bad Can I Be?”! That was a masterpiece and should've never been cut. Or better yet, have bits of “How bad can I be” performed at the beginning of Once-Ler’s poor decision-making, and have “Biggering” be this sort of final crescendo before his complete downfall. Like “How Bad Can I Be?” is a cut-up as a prologue(s). The demo version of “Thneedvile” also added to Ted/the kid more, so I think that would stay too. All the cut songs actually add a lot to the story and have great humor, but the film wanted to be marketable and as inoffensive as possible rather than good (and was made by one of the most money-hungry, Once-Ler-like film companies ever). I would want a slightly more dark approach to the massaging. Show more of the effects of the world losing trees rather than just talk about how bad it is. Show us why we should care. Maybe include an endangered animal in the story and have it go extinct thanks to The Once-Ler’s practices. Just something. The message could even be extended to not just care about the trees, but the natural world as a whole, as global warming and other issues like it are still as big of problems as ever.

Jennifer's Body

I think we need more horror musicals. We have Carrie The Musical, Starkid’s Hatchetfield Universe, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Jekyll and Hyde, etc. so a horror musical isn't as odd as it might sound at first. I liked the film, but there were some things that if feel could us an update. Like the dialogue being very cheesy and dated (nothing wrong if you like that, I get its appeal; it's just not my thing unless done in a particular way). Or Needy and Jen’s attraction to each other being treated more as sapphic fetishization to get guys to see the movie rather than it being there for representation (especially in the trailers for the film). I think it would be nice to see more pre-succubus Jennifer, and her friendship with Needy pre-succubus, so that it could be a bit more sad when she's changes and so that the change is felt more. It would also make it more sad when Needy has to kill her. I want more pain or hesitance from Needy having to fight and kill Jen. Even though she knows it's not Jennifer anymore it still can't be easy to deal with your best friend/crush dying twice. They were friends from childhood, it has to be a least a little painful. I guess I just want a bit more heart behind it than the film had (not that I thought the film didn't have any).

The Invisible Man

We have Jekyll and Hyde and Frankenstein musicals. Griffin might as well join his mad scientist bros. This would almost definitely have to be a musical movie because I have no idea how you would make Griffin look invisible on stage practically. I really like gothic musicals and I think this could have a similar vibe. Griffin’s more blatantly asshole-y behavior when compared to Jekyll and Frankenstein’s well-meaning but flawed natures could make him and the musical stand out against its other mad scientist processors.

tina... i care about you i do and i even liked you as a mutual and blog at a certain point but now.. i don't know what's become of your blog. all i see from you these days is posts about how you hope ryan's marriage falls apart and how horrible the MOTHER to his children is. you can have opinions on someone but wishing for a family to fall apart is a little far imo. i don't know if I'll block or just unfollow but i can't stick around for the negativity about the show, the borderline obsession with the lives of the actors, and everything else. i wish you the best in your life and o hope this hiatus does everyone some good.

-confused(ex?)mutual

I'm posting this because I am utterly at a loss for what goes through people's minds when they type stuff out and instead of going "Okay. Now that that's out of my system I'll just *delete*" they think "This ask, which I am too afraid to attach my name to, will surely make a difference!" How can your opinion mean anything when I don't even know what alleged "mutual" it comes from? 1. Recognizing where the show was going with Buddie this season was not and will never be negativity. Just because people didn't want to "joke" about Eddie being the couch after a certain point does not mean their thoughts matters less than anyone else's. You do have the option not to read them, though. (And lbr, if Buddie was actually hinted at or the show at least left the ending ambiguous - which I thought was a possibility - the side that's getting pissy at everyone else would be throwing a party. You're not angry with me or any other "naysayers" as much as you are at yourself for getting your hopes up.) 2. "You hope Ryan's marriage falls apart." Yes, call me insensitive, but when two people are constantly going PUBLIC about how often they fight and take shots at each other like a couple of kids, I think they're better off separating, especially when actual kids are involved. And hey, I guess he agrees with that sentiment given the recent turn of events... 3. I have never said anything bad about "the mother of his children" except for that her ableist attitudes towards fitness and love of guns and co-signing of FOX News - all things we know to be facts - are not qualities I find endearing and they made/make me question his own stance on certain things. If you want to "call me out" on finding her to be petty, fine, but so is he sometimes. They were a good match in that way. I might post things that "bring the mood down", but at least I stand by them. Idk what you all think you're accomplishing by being fake for the sake of your fandom friends. They'll turn on you in an instant, no hint or warning necessary. :)

Hey, 'yall. Ellis here. Recently, you've probably seen me trolling trolls with long, nonsensical messages and screaming all my frustration at anon hate and spambots. I forgot to realize how this could impact people I care about, though, and how it impacts me.

(Content warning: sui mention, mental health junk)

I've not been doing good lately. I feel trapped in my body, unable to properly transition, angry at the world for being so selfish, and bitter towards anyone who interacts with me.

Usually, I just delete hate, or reply with a meme, but yesterday was an all-time mental-health low for me. So I responded to that morning's hate with a rather… out-of-character message.

I mentioned that I was suicidal at the time, which is a total no-no, especially since most of my posts now are lists of reasons to stay alive.

In that moment, I failed to take my own advice-- act like you don't give an eff and long off.

I deleted all the troll/anon messages and my rather insensitive replies, because I do not want to stoop to their level.

For these next few days, I will be offline, recovering from the pressure I've been putting on myself and taking a break to care for my body and mind. Any posts you see will be set up ahead of time, and I won't be interacting much.

In this messy time in my life, I forgot to take my own advice: don't let the haters get to you. They're the ones wasting precious seconds of their dwindling mortal lives to troll you.

Yet, I've spent the last week in an unstable, not-safe-for-anything state, and I haven't stopped posting, because I was afraid you'd think I didn't care.

I do care about you, and I love seeing y'all interact with my posts, but after the amount of crap I've been through lately, I'm going to need a break from this here internet box to focus on what really matters: keeping myself safe and not letting my own struggles sit where anyone can stumble across them.

Stay safe, okay? I'll keep myself safe, too. I love you platonically,

Ellis
