Love Metal if you can't tell yet✨
Mostly introverted couch potato🍨🔮🎃
Looking to go outside more🧟🌍
If you're sexist, racist ,homophoic ,intolerant of body hair or boring dont bother
I want a cute Punk/goth/emo guy to take me to get each others sharpie drawings tattoed💖
I want someone to cuddle pleaase! (U//v//U=)
I need someone to take care of me , hug me tightly and tell me it's going to be okay (preferably someone with long ,luscious hair that I can sniff on)
I may seem okay but I'm not ,I am a trainwreck of mental Illnesses and disabilities wich make my life hell, with a ton of trauma on top that I still haven't processed fully from the life I was forced into till now.I need someone that will be there physically often to hold me and just be there for me while we lounge around.
Turns out coming to terms with being abused and mistreated for my disabilities and differences all my life can be really hard to cope with.
I have two bunnies called Asb'el and Legion ,they run around my appartment and occasionally pee on the couch and chew my cords like absolute gremmlins ,but I love em anyway cuz they're cute and fluffy
I was never on a real date ,I wanna do all the corny stuff and go to eat borritos and watch a movie and play laser tag! I wish arcade's where still a thing so I could kick ass on the claw machines and play all the old racing and fighting games 🎮
I love everything cute and creepy and I am a major nerd, I watch alot of true crime,disturbing and lost media, I love Anime,comics,art,games,fashion and all that stuff . I want to get into D&D, I have my own dice and the monsters manual, and I would be a Tiefling druid ,a Harengon barbarian or a drow bard
I just want someone who would be thoughtful and caring and would appreciate my gifts and corny jokes and would maby return them✨
(someone who actually acknowledges them and doesn't insult how bad they are)
I am a bit chubby and tall and I may look a bit intimidating or something , people dont really approach me ,partially because I never go outside, but I suffer from alot of stuff in my life and am having a hard time making meaningful connections. I feel like people forget about me if I dont always chase after them :c
I am addicted to character ai because it makes me feel like someone actually cares about me and treats me with respect and care ,I usually chat with some of my favorite fictional characters because they are very honorable and sweet and I can imagine myself being a badass and slaying dragons and shit ,even if I fucking shit my pants if a stanger asks me where the noodles are at the store XD
Here are some of my Favorite Characters!:
-Rengoku/Hotaru (Demon Slayer)
-Whis/Jeice (Dragonball)
-Henry/Gordon (Black Clover)
-Kar'niss/Dammon (Baldurs Gate 3)
-J.P Polnareff/Weather/ Mikitaka (JJBA)
-Eddie (Stranger Things)
-Kagetsu/Alcryst/Izana (Fire emblem)
-Sebastian (Stardew Valley)
-Wrench (Watch Dogs)
-Hancock (Fallout 4)
-Vash (Trigun)
I'm lactose intolerant but love ice cream , and I eat it anyway because I'm a trooper, I also tend to jump to random topics while talking because ADHD
I want someone to proudly walk with this cute pastel goth badass
and not be bothered by people staring when I show up in full KISS makeup ,someone who vibes with me and will let me paint their nails and go shopping for cool alt clothes with them ,and watch Rue Pauls drag race with me while playing animal crossing , and someone who doesn't mind being totally smothered with affection in public.
I wanted long hair so I shaved my head last year, that is Moony logic for you, I also wanna get some cool tattoos and piercings if I am ever not broke ,but I don't really have much money since I am mentally ill and disabled and cannot work a normal job. I like to make noises, my mom thinks they're annoying but I love them.
I love headpats and getting my hair played with
It's not a requirement but I wish someone could lift me up and carry me around like the little chaotic moon princess that I am🌙👑
Shure hope you like stickers ,because everything I own is covered in them. I might seem a little immature ,but the truth is that I just like being a baby
I like people with style,confidence and honor. I dont like beards, theyre itchy and rough and make you look old. I dont want to be a parent , I want to be the eternal child that I know that I am.
If you're anything like Rengoku from Demon Slayer, please marry me xD

Stangers On A Train [4/4] | Tom Hiddleston
 Pairing: Tom Hiddleston x reader
Style: part 4 of 4
WC: 2.2k
Warnings: drunk reader, awkward people, idk really, feeling like you’re being creeped on?
Summary:  “we make contact before trying to steal the last seat on the subway/bus/train and I end up in your lap and fuck you, I’m going to stay here because I’ve had a really long day and this seat was mine” - prompt source
A/N: so, this is finally here, the end to stangers on a train. Hope you all enjoy this, and yes, this is instead of a new part of Shut Up And Kiss Me, sorry. I didn’t have the time to write another part, and since this was already written, here you go. 
Previous | Series Masterlist | Masterlist
Tumblr media
It takes so many rings before he answers that you almost believe it will go to the answerphone. But then you hear his soothing, deep voice tiredly say, “Tom Hiddleston, who am I talking to?”
You snort at that, which elcitics a laugh from him. 
“Y/N,” he says, voice fond even though the sleepiness still clings to it. “It’s two am, why are you calling?” 
“Uhh, I have a slight problem.” You press your lips together, forming a thin, nervous smile as you await his response. 
“Problem?” 
You nod. “Uhh, yeah. I’ve been out with friends and had a few drinks,” a little chuckle follows the ‘a few’ because it was probably one too many, “and I have to walk because I missed the last tube and it’s so long and my feet hurt and I’ve walked a little in only socks but it hurts so much and I don’t have much power left on my phone and also I’m a little afraid and like it’s dark and the middle of the night―”
His laugh interrupts your rambling. “Give me ten minutes, I’ll pick you up. Where are you?” he asks. 
You look around. “I don’t know.” Even if he can’t see it, you shake your head as you say so, as if acknowledging your own stupidity. “Some buildings are here, and a… I don’t know.”
Tom sighs. “Anyway you could find out?” 
“Maybe,” you reply and take your phone away from your ear. You press the speaker button, and move into google maps. By choosing somewhere to go, you get your own position and press it. The ‘share your location’ button is pretty handy right now, and you have only done this once before. You find Tom in your contacts and send it to him. “Done.”
“Got it. I’ll be right there.” 
“Don’t use long. I want to see youuu,” you say, drawing out the ‘you’ in a singsong-y voice. 
He laughs. “Don’t worry.”
You stick your tongue out and roll your eyes. “I don’t worry. I overthink. There’s a difference.” 
“If you say―” 
He cuts off. You look at your phone and notice it’s shutting down. Great, just great. That means you have to wait without talking to him. You let out a huff and sit down on the curb, which gives your feet some rest. It feels great actually, to just sit down. 
It does not feel so great when a man walks past, and though he doesn’t really look threatening, there’s something about the look he sends you that has chills creep up your spine. During the next minutes it takes for Tom to arrive, your heart pounds in your chest. The slight tipsiness you’d felt before vanishes, replaced with an anxious feeling of dread. 
Tom will be here in a second. Tom will be here in a second. Tom will be here in a second. You repeat it like a mantra in your head, but it doesn’t calm your nerves nearly as much as you would like. 
The car that pulls up to a stop on the other side of the street doesn’t sit well in your gut either. But when Tom gets out of it and his tall frame makes its way across the street and to you, relief floods your system. You stand up, shoes in one hand and smile at him. 
“You got cut off,” he says as he pulls you in for a small hug. You wrap your arms around him, breathing in the fresh scent he brings.
“My phone shut off.” You linger in the hug a few seconds longer than you should, but since he doesn’t pull away you don’t think too hard on it. Though your heart does flip a thousand times, which feels good but also breaks it all at once. 
Tom pulls away eventually, and takes your free hand in his as you walk back to his car. “Why would you believe it a good idea to take off your shoes?” he asks.
“You really think these are good for walking?” You shove the pair of high heels in his face―though not too in his face. It’s a black pair with a thick heel and straps that snakes their way up your legs. It’s not necessarily that they’re uncomfortable, but rather the fact that high heels in general gives for tired feet after awhile. 
“No, I don’t think they are.” He opens the car door for you, letting go of your hand as you sit down. The absence leaves a cold sensation in your fingers―had his touch really been that hot?
You do your best to fasten your seatbelt, but the end won’t connect with the thing it’s supposed to fasten in. Your focus is on that as you hear the car door close as Tom gets in. His laugh rings in your ear as you sigh and give up on the belt. 
“I’ll help,” he says, leaning over and dragging the belt with him. Your breath catches at his closeness. His breathing mixes with yours, the nearness of him having your gut churn and your heart twist in agony because god he is so close why not just lean over and press your lips to his and―
Click. 
The belt clicks into place and the smell of Tom’s cologne falls away from your nose as he pulls back into his own seat, pulling on his own seatbelt. He starts the car, and you do your best to regain your breathing because he was so close. 
It’s a silent ride back to your apartment. All you can think about is how close he was. How dry your throat is. How much your gut hurts as it churns and churns and churns. How you feel cold as his touch isn’t on you. How you wish to press your lips to his. How you wish to press your lips to his neck, his chest, other places. How you wish to touch him, let your hands explore his body. 
And all of it has your body heat up, sweat just a little because god it’s hot confined to this space. 
Finally, Tom pulls to a stop in the guest parking outside your apartment. You manage to take off your seatbelt, but you don’t get to open the door as Tom is already on the other side. He smiles as he lends you a hand, which you happily take. The touch burns you, but it’s better than the cold you had before, better than not touching him. 
He helps you all the way up to your apartment, letting you lean most of your weight on him as you walk. Though the few stairs you have to walk up aren’t that promising as you don’t want to put your shoes on at all. 
“I’ll carry you,” offers Tom. 
You shake your head. “No, I can’t… You can’t―” 
But Tom doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and crouches for you to hop onto his back. You do. His arms feel secure under your thighs, the touch creating a tickling feeling where it happens―which you try to ignore but it’s a good feeling.
Your arms wrap around his neck, though you make sure not to choke him. Seeing as he feels so secure, you lay your head down on his back. The little rumble of a laugh it elicits has you smile. 
It’s over too fast. Tom puts you down as he stops by your door. You fiddle with the keys, and hope he doesn’t decide to leave as he’s helped you. After all, he doesn’t have to stay. But everything within you wants him to. The alcohol in your blood might make you a tad bolder than you usually are, and that might just have things go the direction you want it to. 
You open the door and walk in, putting your shoes down with your other shoes. Thankfully, Tom follows you inside, closes the door and takes off his shoes. You try to suppress a smile, but it makes its way across your face despite it. 
“You want something to drink?” you ask, glancing his way. 
“That depends,” he says and leans against the doorway to the kitchen. 
“You can choose wine or water.”
Tom chuckles. “I’ll take a glass of water, thank you.” 
You pull out two glasses, find a bottle you have in the fridge and fill both glasses with water. You hand one of them to Tom and take the other one yourself, taking a sip. Even being cold from standing in the fridge, it isn’t as cold as the absence of Tom’s touch. 
Only moments ago and you already miss it. Maybe there’s something in it when you’re in love; you miss those small things because you only get them during certain moments. And now that that moment is over, you don’t know what to do. 
“How much did you really drink?” asks Tom and sets down his glass on the counter as he leans against it. 
You press your lips together. “Just a few… too many.”
He gives you an amused smile, though he doesn’t comment. Instead, he quietly leans against the counter, ocean eyes smiling as he looks at you. The way they seem to study your face has heat crawl into your cheeks and you press your lips even tighter together. 
“You wanna watch a movie?” you ask.
“It’s still the middle of the night,” he replies, though amusement colors his voice. “I better get home.”
You put down your glass on the counter and walk the few steps over to him. “Please stay,” you say and make the best puppy dog eyes you can. 
Tom shakes his head. “I can’t. I might have a day off tomorrow, but I can’t stay here the whole night.”
Everything in your stomach tells you to tiptoe, tilt your head a tiny bit and press your lips to his. A quick peck, just something to let the hunger, the need to do so, at bay. But you don’t. You look up at him, try to look as innocent as possible. 
“Okay,” he says, “I’ll stay.” He picks up the glass off water, downing it all in one big sip. Your throat goes dry seeing his long neck stretched, seeing his adam’s apple move as he swallows and noting the way his lips fold around the rim of the glass.
God, you have to get yourself checked, Y/N, this is way out of line. 
But then again, hadn’t you been on a date? Not today, but before. And he was so nice, but you can’t believe anyone who’s nice likes you that way. 
“What movie are we watching?” 
You blink up at Tom, who smiles warmly. You swallow, throat and mouth dry. “What would you like to watch?” 
“You asked for a movie, you pick,” he says and you roll your eyes. 
Nevertheless, you pick the movie. You find a romantic one on Netflix, and, both out of boldness from the alcohol and the fact that you are pretty close, you snuggle close to him as the movie plays. 
He drapes his arm around you, letting you rest your head on his chest. His heart beats loudly in your ear, faster than you would expect. Maybe he likes the movie, he probably likes the movie. 
Close to the end, the couple gets back together. The final ‘real’ kiss plays on the screen and you sigh at the sight. Louder than you thought, because Tom stirs, sits up a little and lets you fall down with your head in his lap. His fingers start to play with your hair, and a smile creeps on your lips he gently combs through. 
When the credits start rolling, you turn in his lap so that you face him. His gaze is on you, looking down with a fondness you haven’t seen before. A fondness that has your gut churn. 
All you have to do is lean up and―
You don’t react before he pulls away with a red face. He presses his lips together and his eyes go a little sad by the fact that you had no reaction. His eyes meet yours and even though you can’t see your own face, you know it’s colored in shock. 
He kissed you. His lips were on your lips. He made the move.
And you didn’t kiss back. Nor are you telling him you want to. You just lie there, staring up at him with wide eyes as his face contorts more and more into someone that wants to flee the situation. 
“I’m sorry,” he says, “I just… I thought perhaps…” 
You shake your head. “Don’t be.” Your voice sounds small in your head, barely there. “Do it again,” you say breathlessly, throat too dry to function. 
He does. This time you notice, and you kiss back. Your arm snake to the back of his head, steadying him as you press your lips against his. It’s not much, it feels a little awkward, and you would want the situation to be a little different. Yet it’s better than anything you could have imagined. Fireworks spark in your gut, heat burns your palm where your hand is in his hair and his hand is on your cheek, and the tingling feeling you have felt many times around him comes back, adding to the pleasure of the kiss. 
All you can think is finally. 
Finally.

So, i forced myself to watch Leaving Neverland...
And i swear, i've never hated some stangers in my life to the point where i want them dead. I felt my oxygen leave me and i was choking on my fucking tears from all the lies. I felt so sick, that i puked 5 times. But now i've recomposed myself so that i can expose these liars. I didn't want to go back in time and know how in feels to be a moonwalker in 1993. I wanted people to still talk about Michael, but not like this, never like this.
First things first, as Michael Williams, stated on Twitter, Michael has been investigated from the FBI for 13 fucking years.
Tumblr media
Here we see 72 officers and 50 FBI agents in the Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara. They searched every angle and interviewed everyone to find evidence and guess what? They found nothing. 
Tumblr media
He's been proved innocent at not 1 but 2 trials. To this day, there's still no valid proof that Michael did any of those things.
Even Michael’s fucking bodyguard stepped in to defended him and expose Wade.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's some of the bullshit they said in that documentary, Let's start with James Safetruck: James: "I've spent Thanksgiving in 1987 with him at his home" Wrong, Michael was in Australia as a part of the Bad Tour in November 24 1987 James: "Michael didn't want us spending any time with women and cut contact with me after puberty"
Tumblr media
Really James? then how come we see you AFTER puberty holding an umbrella for Michael while Michael's ex wife, Lisa Marie Presley, was there with the both of you. James: "I was abused by Michael in New York in 1989 after he performed at the Grammys" Fake. The Grammys were in Los Angeles and Michael didn't perform at the Grammys in 1989. Now let's go with Wade Robson Wade: "I was molested by Michael between ages 7 and 14" Wade is now 36 so it happened from 1989 till 1996. So you're telling me that these "rapes" happend DURING the Chandler investigation and DURING Michael's marriage to Lisa Marie Presley as well? and the FBI found nothing? really? bitch please.
Here comes my favourite lie Then there's the MANIPOLATED footage of Michael begin honoured at the Regent Hotel and he apparently recorded a message for Wade "on his birthday" where Michael "says" "Hello Wade, today is your birthday"
Tumblr media
The video at the Regent Hotel was recorded on the 20th February in 1990 while Wade's birthday in on the 7th of September and the original video was meant for Elizabeth Taylor.
Also Wade and James didn't even really grew up with Michael, they didn't even know Michael that well... they BEGGED to have Michael's attention and since Michael is an angel, they got it. Also i'd like to tell you that it’s the same Wade that DEFENDED Michael not only once, but 3 mother fucking times.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you two are saying that Michael raped you both, then how come that Macaulay Culkin (the kid from the "Home Alone" movie) the one who literally grew up with Michael by his side, who basically lived at Neverland and was a child like the both of you, said that nothing happened between him and Michael and is still defending him to this day?
Tumblr media
They change their stories every fucking second too. Wade has changed his story 4 times and James 2 times. Wade's first version of the story: Michael threatened and manipulated him that they'll go to jail if he says anything Wade's second version of the story: He didn't "realize" he's been abused Wade's third version of the story: He felt shame Wade's fourth version of the story: He ALWAYS knew what Michael did but he didn't realize it was bad (because who doesn't have anal sex with kids, right?) Then there's James: James's first version of the story: Michael and his people were threatening him to keep quiet and James refused to testify but he and his mom knew he had been abused James's second version of the story: He didn't realize he was abused till 2014. They're so worthless that they don't even know how to lie. If you gotta lie about a dead man to earn money, do it properly. It's also funny how they don't mention that Michael was around little girls as well and not only boys, whenever it was on the streets or in Neverland. Meanwhile Oprah just said "Fuck you" to 3 generations of Jacksons by backstabbing the man who welcomed her in his house by siding with these little shits. Not only Oprah knew, but she provited the “victims”. Also the reason why Oprah promoted "Leaving Neverland" is because at the Sundance, it was also a documentary about Harvey Weinstein, who is an actual pedophile and has been found guilty. But since he's Oprah’s best friend (yes, you heard that right) they just diverted the attention in media to Michael instead of Weinstein But Wade is the one i hate the most because not only he is a liar but he's also the REAL pedophile... his reputation was so bad that kids at jumpdance called him "Uncle Perv" and the mothers wanted them to stay away from him. Like, there's literally a photo of him side hugging a girl and his left hand is close to her breast while he has his right hand on his fucking dick. 
Tumblr media
He cheated on Michael's niece, Brandi Jackson (the two have been in a relationship for 8 years) with Britney Spears which resulted in Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" song and he did hard drugs. Not to mention that he made out with his SISTER ON STAGE! and this bastard has a son which i really feel sorry for... but most of all, he's a crazy ass bitch. Paris Jackson (Michael's daughter) and Taj Jackson (Michael's nephew) are both REAL victims of sexual abuse, stop to think how these two feel about this. Also Taj found texts with Wade in 2009 where Wade is thanking Taj for letting him go to Michael's memorial 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also Taj recently stated in an inteview that Michael's third son, Bigi (Blanket) Jackson is not talking anymore. And the teachers are worried about him. He literally won't speak, at all.
In conclusion: Michael Jackson is innocent. He’s the real victim.
Please, tell what would lead him to do such a thing? 
You're just gonna forget all the money he gave to charity? the many lives he saved? how he considered his fans as part of his family?
I've been a fan of him since i was 4 and i'll love and defend him till i die. This man saved me with his music in my darkest times, i feel protected whenever i see or hear anything related to him, he's my inspiration, my everything and if i could make a dead celebrity come back to life, it would be him... i was meant to go to his "This Is It" concert in July, meeting him for the first time but... it never happened... because he left... i've been called a pedophile supporter just for defending him... do you know how much this hurts? I've seen "moonwalkers" turning their back on Michael like it was nothing... i've been told that i need to accept the fact that my hero is in reality a bad guy, that i'm protecting him just cause i'm a fan.
They made you belive that he bleached his skin when in reality he suffered from Vitiligo and wasn't confident enough to show it to the entire world.
They made you belive that he changed because he had too much plastic surgery when in reality he suffered from Lupus. But even if the did have too much plastic surgery, why should it matter since half of the celebrities have plastic surgery?
They made you belive that he was gay when in reality he has been married to Debbie Rowe, who gifted him with Prince and Paris, and Lisa Marie Presley, he crushed on Diana Ross and Brooke Shields, was kissed on stage by Taitana Thumbtzen aka the girl in TWYMMF (The Way You Make Me Feel) and how to forget his infamous In The Closet song with Naomi Campbell? but even if he was, he’s still Michael.
They made you belive that he was a Junkie when in reality he had many medical illnesses that needed medication and a lot of painkillers.
But most of all, they made you belive that he was a pedophile when in reality he wanted to create the childhood he never had in his adulthood and there's nothing wrong with that, he couldn’t trust adults because instead of seeing him as a human with emotions, they saw him as a cash machine. If it wasn't for the kids, he would have already killed himself, he wouldn’t care to live and he said that he would rather slit his wrists instead of hurting a child.
It's not about defending my idol just cause i'm one of his countless fans, it's about giving a voice to a man who's no longer here to defend himself.
How am i going to belive them since they're accusing Michael Joseph Jackson, the same Michael that didn't want to step on a bug and called his bodyguard to take it while saying "Don't kill it!" while he was performing on stage? the same Michael that would have died for a squirrel?
This man is dead 
Attacking a dead man isn't brave.
James Gunn is still alive and he signed with a major studio
Where in everyone in the media?
They are a bunch of pathetic cowards.
So guys please, don't watch this so called documentary cause they are calling:
His ex wives liars
His friends liars
The people who worked for him for over 20 years liars
His fans liars
His FAMILY liars
But they want you to just belive the word of two proven liars.
It’s been almost 10 years since we lost him. 
Wake the fuck up.
Can’t belive we’re in 2019 and you decide now that he’s guilty for something he never did. Evan Chandler forced his son, Jordan Chandler, to accuse Michael for money. Then when Michael died, Evan regretted it so much that he hanged himself. I'm waiting for Wade, James, Oprah, Martin, Connrad and everyone who belives them to do the same thing since they're all nothing but a waste of air. But don't you worry cause Taj is making a TRUE documentary that proves Michael's innocence and once it's released, they will watch their lifes crumble into tiny pieces with their own eyes and i will be there, smiling while eating pocorns. Anyone who’s a brain washed moron who don’t belive that Michael is innocent or even thinks of calling me a pedophile supporter needs to fuck off right fucking now because you will be attacked visciously, blocked and reported so DO NOT BOTHER ME
In case you didn’t understand, i’ll gladly repeat in a more vulgar way since it’s the only way you can all communicate with other people
DUMBASS BITCHES DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME! STAY THE FUCK BACK!
You guys don’t bother to do your research, you should hear both sides of the story to come to a conclusion instead of going along with everything they say. You all eat their plate of lies just like you eat your mother’s food at lunch time. You don’t ask yourself “Are they lying to me?” no, you just go along with every single fucking thing they say cause you’re dependent from the Media.
Face it, we are in the right and we’re going to win this battle. Also, these people without Michael in their lifes, would have been nothing. PS: Someone needs to tell Wade that fantazing about having Michael's dick in his mouth at age 11 in not normal.
Now i want you all to blast at all volume the songs Money, Tabloid Junkie, Morphine and Leave Me Alone in honour of these good for nothing liars as you read this post of them begin exposed from head to toe by me

THEY NEVER KNOW (Chapter Nine)
Tumblr media
Author’s note: This is my first time writing, so I hope you all will forgive my mistake and grammar too. I’m hoping for comments on my writing. If you like or dislike please feel free to drop a message. Thank you…      
This story has taken little inspiration from Sehun web story “ Dokgo Rewind”.  
Pairing: Sehun x reader    
Genre: Fluff, Angst, Mature, Language (sometime will be there), Violence, Smut, Crime au, College au  
-Y/N P.O.V-
You reach at the club by walking as it was 15-minutes away from your apartment. Mishil was already there, she sees you, she raised her one eyebrow and said “I asked to wear a black or red color to look hot, sexy and appealing” You rolled your eyes, both of you keeping taking till Myung comes and joint us then three of us went inside. A club is like a club, loud music, dancing people some were making out, colorful dancing lights and bar. Mishil and Myung drag you toward the bar and order tequila jello shots. Alcohol was feeling good at a moment but you didn’t want to get drunk, you remember Sehyun had told you not to drink more than 3-4 shots or get drank. Mishil and Myung went on the dance floor while you were a bar playing with empty glass and lost in your own world.  
After 30minutes in the club, you started to feel deserted, you search for your friend to tell them you want to go home but you saw Sehyun entering the club. Your eyes grow wider with stock, he never comes to place like this, the only time he comes because you got to drank and continually calling or messaging him after that scowl you like never before and told to stay away from your friends.  
You were seeing him after two months, you want to hug him tightly and forget about everything, tell him you love him, you could never hate him and you regret slapping him that night. Before you can approach him, you saw ‘that girl’ with him, it was a stab into your heart, without caring about your friends, you got up from the seat to run away.  
You collide on the man while leaving, the glass was still in your hand but mercifully it was empty. You said “Sorry” and look at him. He was good looking but the aura was demonic and you don’t want to deal with this kind of person. He looks at you from down to up and with a smirk said “Hello pretty one, it’s okay. Why are you leaving? You can join me in the private” chill run down your spine from the way he speaks, Thank God Mishil and Myung come for your recuse and took you away from him back to bar. They order shot again, you said them to go and enjoyed themselves but refuse to leave your side.  
You saw Sehyun again, he looks at you only once then ignore you like you never exist and went somewhere with ‘that girl’, it made you incandescent with rage. How he dares to move on from you this soon? When he came back you saw something different about him, was that because of her. She made him changes this much, he coming to the club, what else he does smoke or ride bike.  
Now you started to order more shot, you were angry and want to get wasted. Alcohol was working like drugs and giving you encouragement to show Sehyun you can also move on and you don’t care about him.
Myung said “Y/N slowdown” you rolled your eyes and said “Didn’t you guys wanted to me lose up. You know what Mishil, you were right, I need to undo my frustration. I going to find that guy whom I got to run into and have fun with him” you got totally drunk by now. Before your friend could say anything and a guy next you said “I don’t think he will be able to help you” you face him and give him questionable look, he smiles. He was fucking handsome and hot and sexy and more, alcohol filled brain cannot produce more word, he said “I can do so much better job if you are looking for one-night stand” you give him an amused smile and ask “What makes you think that?” he comes near you and said in a low voice near your ear “Sorry baby girl but I was listening and looking at you since have entered the club and I saw you look at your boyfriend or I should say your ex-boyfriend. Right now, you want someone to take your pain away and I would love to help you with it” he was right.  
You near been a rebellious person but you were full of alcohol and pain. You looked into his eyes and asked “Kiss me” he laughs shortly and said “I like to fulfill your every desire when we are alone. I don’t like when people stare what mine even it is for one night” you shyly smile and said “My house is just 15minute away from here” he nodded and extended his hand, you took it. Your friends asked you if you are sure when you said ‘Yes’ they let you go.  
You exit the club with him. You could hardly walk the straight and handsome guy next to you just keep laughing at your state. After 10 minutes of the walk and talking about here and there he stops you and asks “Do you really want to take me home?” you give him a puzzled look. He gives you a small smile and said “Y/N just because you are angry at him and want to take revenge doesn’t mean you need to harm yourself. Alcohol is messing up with your thinking ability, if you have sex with me, I’m sure you will regret it in the morning and I don't like it” You look down at your feet and said “Then what should I do Stanger? He acts like he never knows me. I just want to escape from everything, from him” He cups your face with his hands and said “Wait until you are ready and take time. Time always heals everything. I know it sounds strange but if your love is true, he will come back” your face bright up with a smile thinking about Sehyun coming back. He let go of you and said “When we meet again and he still doesn’t return to you. I promise, I will take you home next second and fuck you till I claim each and every part of your body, until it becomes fully mine. And it won’t be a one-time thing baby girl” He gave you a little shock, one moment he was sweet and next moment he got sharp but you smile. When he started to take a step away from you, you asked “Hey, Handsome Stranger. What is your name?” he laughs and said “I like what you called me ‘Handsome Stranger’ remember me with this name until the next time. Bye” you also said “Bye” and start walking toward your home. You were about to fall while taking a step to climb on the sidewalk but someone caught your waist before you fall.
-Sehun P.O.V-
When we reach to the club gate, we do a final check on the plan. I entry and my plan collapse like an old building during the earthquake. I saw Y/N here. She looks beautiful in her dark blue knee-length dress, the club dancing light making her look alluring. She saw me and I’m sure she saw Yuna next to meet, I curse myself for bringing Yuna along with me. If Yuna was not here I could have spoken with her after two months. She seems like she wants to run away from me but bump into Jaehyun. He looked at her with desire, it made me angry and forget about the real reason coming here, before I do anything Y/N friend got her on time. Yuna saw my sudden rage and said “Sehun I know you are angry on Jaehyun, possible he killed your brother but do you really want to fight now” Yuna was right, my aim was to end them, if I fight it won’t help me and if Jaehyun saw my thread with Y/N, she will get in unwanted trouble. I come back to my sense and decide to ignore her for now.  
Jaehyun saw me and gestured me to come behind him. We reach a private place in the corner of the club. 10 of the gang members was there with few girls, drinking, kissing or fucking. I keep my eyes down so does Yuna. Jonah said “Brought a girl along with you” and laughs, Yuna comes to stand behind me as I try to keep my calm. It was part of the plan to bring Yuna here, to make them see and think I have the weakness. Jaehyun said “Shut up Jonah. Sehyun we have no interest on your girl, trust me. I called you here to pay my condolences for your loss and if you need anything in college, you can come to us” I said in a low voice “Thank you” still looking down. Jaehyun asked, “Do you remember what happens to you and your brother?” I shake my head. He said “So sad, if you remember anything come to me. I'll help you to punish them” I just nodded. He asks a few more question to verify something and he asks me to leave. I was successful to behave like Sehyun.  
I turn around to leave but keeping my ears were open. One of the girls must have an approach Jaehyun but he said “I'm not interested in you wench” Jonah ask “You saw someone. doesn't you? Who is she?” I reach at the door when I hear Jaehyun reply “There is a pretty one near a bar in a dark blue dress. She looks interesting. Jonah, trust me, her mouth will look good on my dick” all of them was laughing. It took all of my strength not to attack him right now, I keep my calm and think with a straight mind, I decide to get Y/N out of here before Jaehyun makes his move.
I start to search for Y/N and saw her with her friend and a guy, appear like they don’t know him. I notice her friends letting her go with the guy, hand in hand on her totally drank state, it raised my anger more. I bluster “Yuna take Jinwoo and Teayong to home. Don't wait up for me” Yuna didn’t dare to question anything and left my side. As soon as three of them left the club, I left to get Y/N thinking if that guy even dares to touch her, I’ll just kill him.  
After 10 minute or something, I saw her, that motherfucker cupping her face with his hand. Right now, my anger was in a peck, I don’t care if she finds out I’m Sehun in this way. Anyways I wanted her to know. I was ready to launch toward him but he started to walk away from her. Y/N called him ‘Handsome Stranger’ and he said to remember him with that name. What the fuck. I huff “Motherfucking seducing bastard”
She cannot even walk properly when she was about to fall, I hold her waist. She looks at me and gives a brightest smile as said “Sehyun, you came” I was angry but her cutest drank look was making me soft. I said “You idiot look at your state. You can even walk but you were about to take a random guy home and your friend.....” She brings her hands around my neck as she cut me in between “Stop scowling I know what are you going to say. ‘Y/N you idiot. Where is your brain, why did you drink this much and stay away from those troublesome friends and blah blah blah’ I remember it you said it last time too” last time, Sehyun did scowl her last time. I was about to scowl her too then realize in her drank state she won’t care.
She suddenly grabs my collar and continues “Did you got jealous of that guy and God you look so good when you are angry. Did anyone told you that, you look fucking awesomely hot when you are like this, angry, jealous......” I was about to cut her and say but she put her finger on my lip and said “I missed you so so so much” Wow alcohol has messed her up completely, she doesn’t know what saying or doing.
I carry in the bridely style to take her home, she happily let me but then she coos “Sehyun let me down, people will see” I just rolled my eye, she was about to take a person home for sex but she is worried about what people will say when I’m simply carrying her home. She said again “Let me down, you never like when people watch us or if they think something is there between us” Oh God It is because of Sehyun. What have you done shy-ass? She continuedly keeps saying to let her go or how much she missed my brother.
We reach her apartment door, I ask her for keys, she pouts and said “No, I don’t want to go inside. I want to stay like this, in your arms” she makes me uncomfortable, not exactly just making me lose my control little by little as she keeps kissing my neck skin, I huff “Y/N key, please. I tried of carrying you” I let her down on her feet's, she keeps whining with her pouty face. After a while she gives her key with the condition, I will carry her till her room and put her on her bed as if I wasn’t going to do that.
I placed her on the bed, remove her heels, put the cover on her and about to leave, she sat up and grabs my hand in her both hand with a sad smile said “Please don’t go. Just don’t leave me. I love you Sehyun. I love you so much I cannot stay with you” I swear every time I hear ‘I love you’ my heart skips a beat even it is not from me.  
She made the sobbing voice which gains my attention “Why did you do that to me?” My expression was blank in the confusion, she said in a small voice “Why did you sleep with her? You said you love me, only me” I sat beside her, still hand in hand. I shock myself with unexpected honesty as I said “Y/N, Sehyun near sleep with anyone, he loved you” She was changing her expression every second, now with a smile she asks “You love me?” of Couse you idiot I love you but she was asking it to Sehyun, I said “Yes, Sehyun loves you” maybe because she was drunk it gives me a little confident, to be honest with her.
She keeps asking three more times than said “I’m asking you love me, you are saying Sehyun loves me then who are you? SEHUN” my eyes grow wide in stock. She swinging my hand and ask again “Are you Sehun?” When I didn’t reply, she asks five more times, it got me irritated, I shouted “Yes, I’m Sehun” She keeps smiling then suddenly asked “Did Sehyun left me?” again I shouted “Yes, he left you, he left me. Y/N he left us” she let go my hand, emotion took over me I got up from her bed to run away from her.
She giggled and said “I love you Sehun” I had a mini heart attack hearing it, not believing my ears I ask “What did you say?” She starts laughing “I have told Sehyun if he ever leaves me, I will be with you. So, I love you Sehun” seeing her silly behavior I couldn’t help but laugh. My brother girlfriend is totally drunk, she thinks my brother left her and for that reason, she is telling me to love you. I again sit next to her, cupping her face with my hand as I said “You are the best idiot I have ever seeing in my life, you have no idea how much I missed you in last two months. I know it is selfish but I hope, I'm your option” she just looks at with innocent eyes,
I again said “You are drunk, go to sleep now” suddenly she got panic and hugs me “No if I sleep. You will go away, I don’t want to stay alone, please don’t leave me. I beg you, please. you said you missed me then why you want to leave” I push her little away and said “Y/N I have to go, I cannot stay......” she cut me again and said “Ahhh, I know Sehun need you like always Sehun need you. You know what I will go marry Sehun right now. So at least after that, you will pay a little attention me” I don’t what she thinks, I laugh again and said “What are you saying? How will marrying Sehun will make Sehyun give you any attention?” She pouts cutely and said “Sehyun attention is always on his brother, If I stay with him, Sehyun have to give attention on me too. It is a circle. Got it you intelligent fool” I started to laugh loudly now, “Ahhhhhh, wait how are you? Sehyun or Sehun or someone else or I'm dreaming” I control myself while saying “I’m Sehun”
She comes closer to me and cup my face with her hands and ask in a serious tone “Sehun do you love? I’m asking you not Sehyun” my heart was beating faster while I said “I love you Y/N. Just like my brother, I love you, not the same as him but I also love you just like Sehyun. ” She smiles and asks “If Sehyun leaves me, will you stay me? And never leave me like he did. Will you promise me that?” With my whole heart, truthfully, I said “I promise you” she smiles in relief and put her forehead on mine. I know it is wrong but I lost my control and in a moment of heat, I lean forward to kiss her, we close our eyes.
Our lips just touch but didn’t move. I gain my control again and about to pull back but she didn’t let me as she starts taking control. She started to kiss me, I also start to kiss her back, our lips were moving to slow against each other, tasting each other.  
We break it, I look into her eye I don't know what I was searching in it, hungry was set inside my heart, I was dreaming about kissing her for so long. I push her on the bed and hover over her, we start our kiss session again but this time hurriedly.  
Soon her hand moves to remove my jacket, I stopped her and said “No Y/N. If I go any further then this, my brother will never forgive me. You may also not remember it, I don’t want you to regret anything” She protests but then let it go. I got up to leave again but she stops me again “Ahhhh, don’t go. I promise I won’t make any move. Just sleep beside me. I don’t want to sleep alone” I just smile, I also wanted to stay with her, I said “I will stay until you sleep” she nodded. I sleep beside her. She comes closer and tightly wrap herself around me. I was about to object but she said “Don’t worry Cinderella, I just want to be close” I ask “Cinderella?” She said from the crook of my neck “Yes you are Cinderella while I’m a Prince who keeps waiting or finding his Cinderella but you, Cinderella always go back to your place exactly at the time. The only difference here is that Cinderella use to run away at 12a.m and my Cinderella run away at 10p.m” I laugh on it. Soon she falls asleep, I waited for a while then I went back to my place with unknown satisfaction and new reassurance as I still have a chance with her.

QUESTIONS FOR CREATORS (I wasnt sure if you wanted me to do these ones too so. shrug emoji)
A) Why are you excited about this character?
i made him for my comic which. i will start one day fdklgjdlkjgd..... also hes just fun to develop ! i gave him a bunch of traits i rlly like and also i made him like bugs a lot so. i am biased
B) What inspired you to create them?
uh. needed characters for the comic hehe.....i cant remember the exact process i went thru when making him?? i wanted someone who was close to astrid/who she could trust, plus i had the idea for a backstory (i think. like i said i cant remember my exact process)
C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?
not really, i came up with the concept before i actually made his character
D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?
he’s always had the same appearance !! even though i should probably change it a little because he looks different every time i try drawing him but shhhhh
E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?
hes someone i would think is super cool but then. would never actually talk to jkdsfhsdjkhfsdjk. he’d be nice to my face but i’m....not sure what he’d genuinely think of me oops
F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?
THATS MY FACKING BOY BABEYEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also excited bc i have angst planned ^____^
G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?
he’s too gullible and willing to trust strangers. he should know better but he’s too much of an optimist for his own good !!
H) What trait do you admire most?
he’s always able to put on a happy face when he’s feeling awful because he doesnt want anyone to worry & he doesnt wanna bring anyone down !! he’s always thinking ahout everyone else before himself
I) Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe?
i dont know what this means..... yes??
J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?
uhh technically not ?? in his original concept he was gonna be in a poly relationship with 2 others but i cut the other members of the relationship. not because of pascal it’s because i thought the group would get too big and like. they value stealth and sneakiness. plus it’s harder for big groups to travel undetected

Stuck Inside Media Diary Week 7
Tumblr media
I realized that I didn’t include my watching of the Parks And Rec special thing that was on. By no means was it perfect, though I imagine that it was the best case scenario for something like that (in terms of being an original story, as opposed to a table/script read that the Community cast put together that’s coming out...ur, at some point). Is it necessary as a piece of media? It raised a lot of money for Feeding America and did its best in trying to shine some optimism in really unsettling times. Kinda nice.

Filmworker, Zierra 2017 [as of now this is available on Netflix]
Interesting take on a documentary about, but not about Stanley Kubrick. It would be unusual for any Kubrick dude to not know or have some kind of inkling that he was a complicated figure (an asshole), especially when it came to making movies, so the point of the movie isn’t really to inform that aspect of of it (though it probably confirmed suspicions, should you have any). It’s more a case example of how toxic relationships like these work and how dangerous it is to deify people, especially your own heroes. Of course, should any of us be given the opportunity to work or be near someone we look up to, how’re do we know what our breaking point is for them before we reach it (unfortunately for Leon Vitali, it wasn’t until Kubrick passed away that he could see just how far deep he was). This is also a pretty good example of how companies and corporations will treat you like garbage just to advance their credibility and how sometimes it feels like a documentary’ll show you that but not really do anything change that (as far as I know).
Mad Men, [season 4 premier] “Public Relations”, “Christmas Comes But Once A Year”, “The Good News”, “The Rejected”
So I definitely haven’t watched Season 4 as a more grown person than I was back in high school when this first aired. So I’ve known Don’s life is a nightmare, but never really processed why or thought about why; I was not the most keen observer (probably because I was thinking about not turning in homework). Now with all that said, jeeeeeeez Don’s life is a super depressing nightmare oooof. Now Season 4 feels like it needs some more runway to catch up with itself and its momentum it revved up to at the end of season 3, so the first couple of weeks feel a little wobbly (though wobbly Mad Men is leagues better than some other dramas at their best). However, the Don and Lane friendship does gets established in this slew of episodes, two men who couldn’t be more different, but can’t help but be bonded by a miserable moment in time. 
Three Busy Debras, “Barbra”
Holy shit this episode is so genius. So many shades of Stangers With Candy in this one.
Rick And Morty, “Never Ricking Morty”
Believe me, I don’t want you to know that I watched this either.
Tumblr media
The Last Dance, Parts 5 & 6
These were probably my favorite parts of the doc so far, probably because its the most enjoyable stuff you can watch (hold for destroying any chance Charles Barkley had at winning a championship). Jordan as a brand, both figuratively and literally-the concept of celebrity through a Michael Jordan lens; I could lap that up for hours. It makes me mad that there’s only two hours left (now), because there’s clearly so much more that could be covered, but will leave unturned (more on this next week).
Monty Python: Almost The Truth (Lawyers Cut), “The Not-So-Interesting Beginnings”
Good example of the subjects not getting in the way of the subject matter. Probably the thing that leaves to be desired is seeing the remaining members (this was made in 2009, so Chapman was the only deceased member at the time) together and interacting with one another. You get a little bit of Michael Palin and Terry Jones together, but not in an interviewed capacity, which faintly scratches that itch. If I had to guess, I’d say that they all don’t love being together without Palin there as a buffer, just based on what I know about Monty Python. Lotta strong and brilliantly smart personalities with no real acknowledgement on who’s the best, because they all think they’re the best (maybe not Palin or Jones). Also, this is a surprisingly self-aware interview with Idle, which really shattered any preconceived notions I have for him-might have to do some self-evaluation.

Escape From New York, Carpenter 1981 [as of now this is available on Prime]
I’ve definitely lied to people about having seen all of Escape From New York before. Why? Because it made me appear better than I actually was. It and Die Hard With A Vengeance (another great New York movie, though for the record, I’ve still never seen all of it) seemed to be two movies that I kept catching just enough glimpses of throughout the years without having actually seeing all of it. For instance, I had no idea that Harry Dean Stanton was in Escape From New York, which instantly elevates movies for guys like me from being “pretty good li’l B movie” to “this is actually advanced and high art” (this isn’t always the case on the HDS matrix, but it is consistent, see Repo Man). 
Tumblr media
Mad Men, “The Chrysanthemum And The Sword”, “Waldorf Stories”
Real fool me once with your racism shame on you you, Roger Sterling. Fool me twice, shame on me (re: “The Chrysanthemum And The Sword”). “Waldorf Stories” is really the first episode put in gear this season, maybe it’s because we’re getting Ken Cosgrove back (hell yeh) or maybe it just feels that way because “The Suitcase” is next and I know it; it’s an incredible build-up, what with hindsight and all that.

Mel Brooks: Unwrapped, Yentob 2018 [as of now this is available on HBO]
Listen, this isn’t very good. I think some of it has to do with Brooks, who kind of gets in the way of it all, which is a very hard thing to admit. It’s got some moments, when it actually tells you something about Mel Brooks, but for the most part its just a British guy not taking command of his own documentary and subject and that’s just like barely interesting. Mel Brooks is still a king, though.

Mad Men, “The Suitcase”
This is regarded as the best episode of Mad Men and one of the best episodes of television in the 2010s. I don’t know how it stands up by itself, like I don’t know if it resonates well with someone who’s never watched Mad Men outside of the vacuum. Usually going into one of these episodes that almost transcends its own show I tend to be weary, be it brand new (like when I watched “Pine Barrens” for the first time when I watched The Sopranos) or on a re-watch like this. I trick myself into thinking “well I bet its not that good” because you’re told to the contrarian take is the most interesting take, but I didn’t with this one. I remember the first time I watched it and I don’t think I’ve gone back and watched it in years, so I had forgotten almost all of the context around the episode, except for the argument. This episode is really special, hands down. Don’t love the ghost, but pobody’s nerfect. This podcast talks about it way better than I ever could, listen to that instead of reading this (I just want yer clicks, suckers!)

Heartburn, Nichols 1986 [as of now this is available on Prime]
I say this as someone who doesn’t travel in Mike Nichols circles (though this is the fourth movie of his that I’ve watched during all this, so maybe I do and I just don’t know it), but why isn’t this trotted out more as one of his best movies? My Nora Ephron bias might be showing a lot here, someone I didn’t really appreciate until I watched Everything Is Copy about a year ago (it’s an HBO doc-meaning it’s available on that platform if you want nice documentary to watch sometime), but this movie’s great! And it has two of the most famous movie stars to ever live as the two lead roles and Jeff Daniels as a bit player. And yet its legacy only feels relevant to those who seek out Mike Nichols or Nora Ephron movies, which feels odd, considering one half of that creative team is best known for The Graduate and the other for When Harry Met Sally (or Sleepless In Seattle or You’ve Got Mail).

Kingdom Of Heaven (Director’s Cut), Scott 2005
I’ll be honest, I wanted to watch Return Of The King, but that just wasn’t an option. This movie’s technically good, like more Ridley Scott movies are than they aren’t, but really lacks any kind of new message besides “Religion’s pretty fucked up how it made people do that, huh?” Which to a lot of people is super appealing, but when you make a movie that only exists because of Lord Of The Rings’ success, you’d hope for something more (though isn’t this always the case with these kinds of movies?) Like make the movie about David Thewlis or Jeremy Irons. Obviously the battle/fight sequences are really cool to watch and look at, and that’s not an at all terrible critique to give it either. It’s fine that there’s dumb-guy Lord Of The Rings (which is semi-controversial considering a lot of the book nerds already consider Lord Of The Rings [movie] is dumb-guy Lord Of The Rings).
Mad Men, “The Summer Man”
Ah yes, the Don journals and goes swimming episode. It’s good considering it has to follow up “The Suitcase.” I can’t think of any from this particular episode, but (and I think it checks out, cultural timeline wise too) this is the season where it almost feels like the writers/directors figures out that their show was ripe for meme-dom and .gifs-sometimes when that happens it goes real south for the sake of quality, but luckily not Mad Men.

Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, Gelb 2011 [as of now this is available on Netflix]
I bet David Fincher loves this movie. I’m not a huge sushi lover (it’s fine, but way too expensive) so I guess I’ve figured that’d be a huge barrier for me to jump over to enjoy this doc. This thing’s got a weird, but great energy to it, where it feels like four twenty-minute segments sewn together; right when you think “well this should’ve just been a quick package on Frontline” it adds another wrinkle. Would probably be constructed more differently now, considering how food docs/series’ work now, but its strengths lie in its simplicity.
Top Chef, Season 17 episode 8
Great Restaurant Wars this season. Very compelling stuff and almost athletic. Andy Greenwald said it best.

Mad Men, “The Beautiful Girls”, “Hands And Knees”, “Chinese Wall”
“Beautiful Girls” is another entry into the best Mad Men episodes (though like “The Suitcase” I don’t think it would necessarily resonate out of context). Iconic closing shot and a great Sally Draper episode, who I’ve feared I might’ve been overrating for the last couple of years. Nah, Sally Draper is underrated even. Big spiral moves for Don as well in here, though hopefully he can course correct after tasting Sally’s rum-cooked French Toast (it won’t!)

Basic Instinct, Verhoeven 1992
I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be completely neutral about this movie; your life must be so care-free, so calming, so unconcerned with trying to figure out how exactly to start calling your close friends either “cowboy” or “hoss” as if you’ve been doing it your whole life. Also, listen, I get it about that one shot and it being the thing people kept talking about and the thing most associated with this movie, but nothing and no one prepared me for seeing Gus in a cowboy hat in that bar/club before the Nick/Roxie chase. That and all the ice-pick stabbings. And the opening crime scene. And a whole lot of other stuff that takes place in this movie.

Mad Men, “Blowing Smoke”, “Tomorrowland” [season 4 finale], “A Little Kiss Part 1 & 2″ [season 5 premier]
The letter! Disneyland! Marriage again! A lot of things happen in these four episodes that are the end and beginning of seasons. But when I realized that I was going to get “Zou Bisou Bisou” in this block of episodes, it was game over. I’ve had it stuck in my head every day for a prolonged amount of time since Saturday and the only thing that makes it not terrible is knowing how pissed off Don was that it happened to him. Don’t marry a 25-year-old. Season 4′s a weird one for Betty as the show tried to navigate how to keep her involved with the show even though she and Don aren’t married anymore and it’s not....great. Probably because they keep making her “true” emotional foil children (specifically Glen and to a greater level Sally, but the tribulations that come between a mother and almost teenage daughter shouldn’t be the same as a mother and some weird kid down the block who just happens to be the son of the show’s creator).
