Just saw someone call AO3 a "cp-website" and I'm gonna just-
Like I know every time the Archive has a fundraiser some people will crawl out of the woodworks and spout bullcrap, but geez-
If you don't like AO3, fine, that's your opinion. But don't call it a "cp-website", nor demonize people who donate to their fundraiser, from which a large part of the funds goes to KEEPING THE SERVERS AND HAVING PROPER LEGAL PROTECTION.
You know one of the main reasons why AO3 was created? Because in the "old days", if someone didn't like the fact that you, I dunno, wrote some wholesome gay fic online, they could report it and you might just lose your whole fic without warning, because think of the children, right? And to really put icing on the cake, your account might be deleted too. 🙃
Or, like I experienced, it won't just be one or three reports that get your fic taken down. Critics United for example was a group of these ~lovely~ people who would go on people's fics and suggest (harass) the author on how to change their fic to be "improved upon" (aka sanitize the fuck out of it so there is no trace of what they saw as gross/bad/wrong/cringe/sinful/etc.). If they didn't manage to harass you into deleting, they'd just mass report you.
I got literal death and rape threats for writing a Spamano version of Beauty and the Beast, told I was a criminal and that my parents should've killed me in my crib.
ALL OVER A STUPID LITTLE SELFINDULGENT FIC.
They even went so far as to track my username down from Fanfiction.net to Wattpad, and only once I got it on AO3 was the story able stay up because they had no way of harassing or reporting me like they could before, because I could easily turn my comments off to "registered users only" or even to "moderate comments." and that scared them off.
This was in 2016 by the way. Not even a decade ago. Now I could even block people if I want on AO3, so it gets harder to harass me, even if I did care.
But like yes, I agree on the fact that fics with cp are allowed on the site is rather gross. I would never write nor read it. But you know what helps with this?
AO3 HAS THIS TAGGING SYSTEM IN WHICH YOU CAN TAG AND FILTER OUT THE THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE, SUCH AS FICS WITH THE UNDERAGE WARNING :D
And guess what? It works great! I never have to see fics with cp in it, because I filter my fics. And even if I see that I accidentally clicked on a fic like that? I click out of the page and move the fuck on.
People on AO3 can and have written the most repulsive shit known to man, but more often than not, it's tagged with big warnings in the description. I have read cringy and horrifying fics that still made me nauseous to think back on, that have changed how I look at certain characters. And guess what?
THEY STILL DESERVE TO EXIST AND BE READ BY OTHERS.
Besides, there is a very fine line as to what some people define concepts like cp. Like I define it as minors being forced/manipulated into sexual situations, while others might look at an adult anime character who looks like a little kid and say that they shouldn't be sexualized. We are both correct in our own digital space there.
I don't like "shota/lolita" nsfw stuff, others do, and so I am just letting those people be and I avoid that content. Same with scat, or watersports, or cnc. Avoid, click away, goodbye. I don't demand that all "they look young but they're actually an adult!" types of media should be banned, nor that people who enjoy (reading about) sex with bodily fluids should be publically shamed, or that people who consentually enjoy the dark fantasty of being forced should be treated like an actual rapist.
And that's really what this is about. Don't like it, don't read/look at it. This whole "but they are allowing xyz and I don't like that!!" argument is basically becoming the same right-wing argument as "but I see xyz as wrong/bad/a sin and therefor nobody should be allowed to enjoy it."
If AO3 were to be forced to ban one thing, like people dealing with their childhood SA by writing a fic about it, who is to say they won't be forced to ban something like CNC next? What about kink? Queerness? Because that is the road a lot of right-wing people want you antis to take.
It's a main reason AO3 has fundraisers. For the servers to stay up. For legal support when a company claims fanfic is bad. For times that those things might get more expensive to maintain.
And because AO3 is of the few websites that allow everyone, especially queer people, to make art and have that art be protected from those that wish to destroy anything they do not like. And yes, that protection includes protecting work made by "bad" people.
So chill, skip over that fic you don't want to see, don't donate to or interact with AO3 if you don't want to, and maybe touch some grass? That would be great.
Rant over uwu

After rewatching sonic prime alot of times i can finally give my honest reveal:
Season 3 really dissapointing
S1 and S2 were really great tho!
S1: "2nd fav. season" (don't got much to say abt it 🙃)
- sonic his charactertisation felt kinda weird, he ignored his friends and is impulsive to the max
- sonic realising what he has done was kinda sad
- nine was AWESOME
S2: "fav. season"
- i liked the aspect of sonic going on a chase through the shatterverse to collect the shards
- the pirates were ASSHOLES!
- forest part never got me hooked so much
- good fights not too many and the pace went well (for me)
- CHAOS SONIC THE SILLY ❤️
- i wanted more chaos sonic he was a dark mirror of sonic himself and it was really intersting
- Once again nine was a fucking badass
- the betrayel was executed well ig
Sonic was really ignorant to nine but nine got his own faults too
But the line: "like the real tails would, I am REAL!" was so raw and the pain i can only imagine nine felt in that moment...
S3: "least fav. season ofcourse"
- i enjoyed evil tails very much
- episode 1 was fantastic but shadow being pulled out of the picture was bullshit
I also wanted a longer reaction to the betrayel of nine, i saw a comic dub of sonic having a panic attack. Now i know that is far too many of emotions for sonic to be allowed, but atleast they could've showed some tears and panic
- the fight episodes got bland real fast.
Just fighting the same ol' robots again, they get defeated, nine repairs them, the same again
- i did like episode 6 tbh...
The fight of the iconic duo and later the iconic trio was my favo fight in the season
Beautifully crafted
- episode 7..... where to begin?
To begin with: nine his redemption was forced and executed garBAGE
Sonic just went from, this motherfucker needs to PAY for his action to, aw im sorry i saw 1 palmtree and i understand why you wanted to murder me.
Aside from that i almost liked the rest of ep7
The race against time with sonic to save him from certain death was really wholesome
The Amy's were fucking cute and knux carried my sonknux heart ❤️
Shadow rescuing sonic was beautiful and i LOVED it very much
BUT! sonic should've had more emotion to seeing his friend again.
That cliffhanger was totally unnecessary and we know now that is just a symbol for sonic and his friends running into a brand new adventure
Couple other notes:
- voice acting was fucking awesome!
@mactheactor killed it (i want him to be the main sonic tbh
he is up there in my top 3 VA for sonic with @snapscube sonic aka penny parker and jason griffith (1st: penny sonic, 2nd: devon sonic, 3d: jason sonic)
he got the cockiness and the teenager vibe of sonic like jason and ryan have for example
he has all the talent and passion, emotion for the voice and it felt like i actually heared sonic himself)
- animation was really good!
i am not trying to bring the series down!!
i am just saying my thoughts but the series is amazing and should definitely deserve a watch if you like sonic things or if you just like action or multiverse thingies
That was my review of sonic prime i love to hear yur opinions on my review and what you agree and dont with ❤️

okay I definitely recognise some of these fandoms-- glad to see we both had a Supernatural phase
for the WIP game:
Stucky Shakespeare au
All I See Is What I Should Be (Jealousy, Jealousy)
Feeding The Fire - Craving The Storm In You
and the one you really wanna talk about, but nobody has asked for it yet
my supernatural phase (affectionate?) was what got me into writing fanfic so I can't rag on it too hard 😄
the WIP list is here if anyone else would like to ask or play!
so;
Stucky Shakespeare au - from way back in 2015 (when I was still a fan of Steve/Bucky), it had the prompt "I found you perched on the railing of my fire escape at 1am reading Shakespeare out loud, and I have no idea how you got up here, what are you doing?" wherein Steve was reciting Shakespeare works, Bucky heard him and started falling in love with the sound of his voice and the way his cadence of the iambic pentameter matched the beat of his heart. silly, pretty little fic idea that the English nerd in younger me really liked :)
All I See Is What I Should Be (Jealousy, Jealousy) - aka. I am not immune to using song lyrics as a title, and I am even less immune to that month in 2022 when Steve/Eddie from Stranger Things was on seemingly everyone's mind. I've never watched ST, I just fell into the rabbit hole of tiktok Steddie edits 🙃
this one was meant to be about Steve and Eddie at a music gig/festival together when a random musician guy starts flirting with Eddie. Eddie and the guy then go to his hotel room, and Steve follows them back bc he's worried about Eddie's safety (and jealous), he and Eddie have rooms next to each other, and so he hears some fun stuff begin. Soon it becomes apparent that Eddie doesn't actually want to continue with the guy so the guy leaves in anger, Steve barges into the room next door because he thinks the guy hurt Eddie, and instead spends the night comforting Eddie and figuring out he had no reason to be jealous because the feelings are all mutual. ....honestly this was kind of a fever dream now that I'm looking back at the notes from this wip
Feeding The Fire - Craving The Storm In You - aka. I am not immune to song lyrics part 2. oh boy, this one. this is the second part of my Zukka fic, and I started it directly after I finished the first part of, last year, and then lost steam for it. the first part followed a tiny, brief tryst that Zuko and Sokka had when they were young men before Sokka left the Fire Nation to help lead his people, wherein both men clearly had some feelings that they never admitted to, and it ends on them saying goodbye without any closure on their feelings
Feeding The Fire has an eighteen year time jump, after Zuko got married, had a child, and got divorced. Sokka was volun-told to be the ambassador for an important event where he'd have to interact with Zuko again after many years. Danger crops up during the event, leading Sokka and Zuko to fight together again, Sokka especially stepping in to save Zuko's daughter, before the dangers are neutralised
Afterwards, while checking in on each other, the tension makes both of them aware that they really should've talked about what happened when they were younger. and so they do talk about it, get a little angry at each other, but ultimately forgive the other. The tension and adrenaline is still there, so they finish what they began all those years ago, this time giving themselves permission to explore their lingering feelings
this fic/series is a little heartbreaking if I'm honest, and Feeding The Fire was meant to fix that, but it was a spur of the moment idea and now it's hard to grasp back onto it. one day (hopefully) I'll finish it
now, one I really want to talk about:
When In Paradise - a second part that I wanted to write for one of my Call of Duty fics. This one was meant to see Alejandro and Rudy take a well deserved vacation, relax and be at peace together for a while. It's special because I loved the first fic I wrote so much, I love these characters and what I gave them in the first part
It's also meant to include a heart-warming conversation where Rudy, out and proud for decades, encourages his newly out friend about being queer, reassuring him that he's safe to let himself feel what he feels, and to have trust in the people he surrounds himself with. That conversation was meant to be a little catharsis for myself honestly 😌 I'd very much like to finish this fic, and I hope the inspiration comes to me for it
um so yeah this was way longer than I expected but thank you of course for asking!! it was really nice to think about both my old and newer works again 😊❤

BFF WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON VOLUME 2??
BFF IM GLAD YOU ASKED, HERES A LIST OF STUFF I REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY MIND
Spoilers below (obv)
NANCY?? Really thought she was gonna die right out the gate but I'm so glad she didn't
That "Byler" scene in the van...
Honestly I'm already so numb to this shit and the near identical parallels to me and an ex friend of mine since s3 and Will and Mike I was just shut down completely and wasn't surprised or had any kind of noticeable reaction at all. I'm just numb cause that shit (literally almost exactly, including the abandoning me despite me telling them how much they were hurting me and bringing up past trauma and just said a half ass sorry and kept doing it, the breakdown and now I've got the weeping silently right in front of them and them not doing shit about it and even trying to change the subject). Except, ya know 🙃🙃🙃 they had to throw in the words like "mistake" and shit so salt in the wound, but that's fine cause it's not like they built it up during pride month of all times just to get more people to watch it so that we could be mocked and feel even more like a mistake, right??
Which brings me to my next point
ELLLLMAAAXXXXXXXX
Ya know what I've unintentionally rewrote my brain to forget the whole "byler/mileven" mess as much as humanly possible and only remember about three ships; Lumax, Elmax, and Jopper (aka mom and dad :D)
I thought I reached my capacity for loving Elmax in season 3 but I was 😭 so wrong 😭
Inject that shit in my VEINS
El learning not only her friends in general are in danger but Max specifically and immediately doing everything in her literal power to get to her and save her (I'm actually tearing up rn, it's affecting me too much) is replenishing everything in me
Like these girls had alone time for barely an hour and they decided for life: "this is my human, I'm gonna go to the ends of the earth to protect my human, build my human up. no one is like my human, my human is THE BEST and deserves the best. my human is one of my biggest sources of joy". That was mall rats and it's just been golden for those two ever since and I went into season 4 prepared for everything between these two to revert back to s2
But it was SO
MUCH
BETTER
For one thing, El's determination to save Max
HER DRAWING 😭😭😭😭
First of all... the sheer anger El must have been feeling towards Vecna to have ripped him away from Max as such velocity to knock him out as long as he was knocked out. It wasn't forever but consider how much time they got. She had to have been pissed
Max's plan to "run towards the light" and the things that make her happiest and a) that being the snowball where she had her moment with Lucas and danced with her friends b) she then saw no one else was there but El and assumed that was her mind saving her -- someone who brings light to her life
Her not believing she was real
Her not believing she was real
Her not believing she was real 😭
Still cupping at El's face and shoulders (in such a Max way, and El just being totally fine with it) like a lifeline in doubt and El lovingly taking her hand and cupping it and saying so sweetly
"I'm real"
And ofc the adorable "I piggybacked from a pizza dough freezer !!"
And what I immediately had to re-watch like seven times and silently cheer in victory at like 3 am:
"Stay back," and "If you touch her again, I will kill you again"
I'm sorry but its all im thinking about
Oh god that and
Caleb's stellar performance that actually ripped my heart out, stomped on it and then put it in a blender (all of s4 honestly, he's always been amazing but they actually gave him room to really shine
It's the "Erica help" that murdered me and it's enough to make me tear up again just thinking about it [EDIT: okay I literally just learned that line was all caleb and OF COURSE IT WAS]
Everyone's performance in that scene honestly was unlike anything I've seen and so beyond intense but Caleb, as I've said, really got me
Max and Lucas love each other so much and if I don't see them go to the movies together in s5 I--
I'm not sure what I'll do
Ugh there's so much other stuff I haven't even mentioned (mainly cause Elmax is taking up my entire life) but
OH YEAH
EL AND LUCAS FINALLY INTERACTING AGAIN?!? HUGGING ?!
OH MY GOD EL AND HOPPER
I was literally so paranoid he was Vecna getting into El's mind actually that I couldn't properly enjoy it wasn't until she thanked Joyce I started to realize it might've been real and then when realized was SURE there wasn't anything left of the episode, I cried and went back and cried harder lmao 😭
Again, I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now
Honestly it feels so good to rant - bestie what about you?? What did you think??
💕💕💕 - Yurtle

34 - pet peeves?
24 - what's something your proud of yourself for?
34- OOOOOO BOY, DO I HAVE SOME PEEVES TO PET.
I. Hate. My. College. Class.
Like, aside from me and my bestie and these two other quiet girls, NOONE CARES. like I swear, it really gets me down sometimes, seeing other art classes in my college, full of actual art students: aka, creative, stylish and actually passionate abt art. The majority of ppl in my class are in one big friend group and treat class like middle school. They complain abt work and most of them don't even want to go into art as a profession, I honestly think some of them just took this 3 year long class because they thought art was easy.... and that pisses me off so much. People who actually care should've gotten their spot. I'm sorry, I know it sounds rude, but quite frankly, a lot of them don't deserve to be there. Not to sound pro-school or like an uncaring teacher: but we're in college, grow up and stop complaining abt work for a class that YOU signed up for.
I'm gonna be selfish for a sec and just vent abt one thing that happened: this girl who used to talk to me and my bff in class, we found out was a big liar and made up scenarios abt ppl, like racist and homophobic scenarios; when we spoke up abt it, everyone decided we were just too scary and angry and they couldn't say anything to us or we'd call it problematic.... Jesus christ. One of them reached out to me on insta ages ago complaining abt how I didn't talk to them anymore, and I was just like: babe... you're hanging out with someone who called me a bitch and then tried to gaslight me and called my trauma pathetic because I called her out for doing shit stuff. Why are you surprised?? Also, we were never friends... we talked like twice at lunch wtff???
Surprise, surprise, she got herself into drama again and had fights with the ppl that took her side... wow, its almost like we told you🙃🙃🙃
24- OKAY,, sorry abt that, lets get into a much lighter subject:
I'm really proud of myself for doing everyday of encantober. I think I really improved a lot from that experience. Like with learning more abt the body and how to draw it and time efficiency, sometimes I think abt making a little art book abt it, just so I can flip through it and smile. I think I wouldn’t be able to actually sell it,,, but I can dream lol.

Stu - You can't win in a fist fight against Billy! *holding me back.*
Me, a 5'0 gal who hasn't done a pushup since HS - It'd be worth it! I'D BUST THEM KNEECAPS ON SIGHT. That twigs got nothing on me!😤
Billy had me livid in 14 lol idc that he's still gone in 15. He really tried to say that him and Stu were the only ones who cared enough to kill for us and that Dewey didnt care till tat died and that Randy was too enraptured with Sid to care until it was too late....get out of my face before you get BOPPED. He's still trying to defend his actions. He still believes James deserved to get his face ripped off lol he was no saint, but like Y/n said in 14....You AINT NO BETTER SWEETIE. You did way worse then James, but don't wanna admit it.
Lets not forget what James said in 13 during the nightmare - Billy and Stu were apparantly telling James we were having sex with them and they might've killed his dog for crying out loud 🙃 it makes sense why James got so angry at y/n if they were telling him lies. I think the worst part is that Stu NEVER admitted that to Y/n. He never told her in the diner when her car was getting fixed several chapters ago that they killed his dog or were telling lies to James....which makes me think 1, its not true and 'James' was lying in the dream, or 2, Stu purposfully left that info out. All Stu said was that they threatened James. I'm not mad, just disappointed 🙂
James; I left up to the readers whether that was his ghost visiting her (I personally firmly believe spirits can visit us in dreams) or her subconscious based on things James told her here and there finally putting two and two together. But yeah, Stu and Billy were not innocent and didn't really 'save her'. They were just two sick fucks marking their territory against another sick fuck.
And I think after his moms passing and the homeless on the run life he has to live; Billy's bitter because deep down inside he knows it wasn't worth it but he's too proud to admit it. He'd honestly rather be the dominant ego maniac than have ppl in his life and admit he was wrong even tho he's lonely and knows he needs those ppl aka Stu and YN. 🙃🙃🙃

Not related to the contents of this blog, but Friendly Reminder that people can like or dislike a character without it being a reflection of their morals. I'll use Osiris as an example since I've seen several posts about him recently.
Osiris is both popular and controversial in the D2 community. Some people like him because of the representation he brings to the game (aka he's old, POC, gay and Jewish). Some like him because he's more complicated / multi-faceted than he lets on; some like him because he's knowledgeable like Ikora and Asher Mir; some simply like him because he's a visually striking character.
And some people don't like Osiris. Maybe his canonical arrogance and/or stubbornness is too much for them. Maybe they didn't like his characterization in Curse of Osiris and Lightfall did nothing to change that. Maybe they hate his bird-themed design. Maybe they just find him annoying for whatever reason.
Unless someone says something like, "I hate Osiris because Bungie made him gay*," their (positive or negative) opinion of a fictional character is not automatically a reflection of their morals.
*(Bungie didn't "make" Osiris gay, I'm just repeating what people usually say. 🙃)
I thought we were past the "liking heroes or minorities = good morals irl, liking villains = bad morals irl" mindset, but I should've known that fandom never changes. 🫠 So here's a Friendly Reminder that you are free to like/dislike/love/hate any character for any reason, regardless of what anyone says, as long as you aren't a jerk about it!
# all blorbos deserve someone who loves them
#also you are not superior for liking or disliking certain characters#I feel like that ties into my statement of ''don't be a jerk about liking your blorbos''#but I'm saying it just in case#anyway that's my rant for the day#people are being Weird again and I'm this 👌 close to blocking them over it#not everything is a moral issue or diversity issue sometimes it's just a Personal Preference issue :))#destiny the game#psa#p.s. if you start flaming in my comments I will come for your kneecaps

MISSING CHILD ALERT: Kirin
aka are we supposed to collectively forget Kuea had a whole relatively well developed musical career ahead of him? I'm sure his fans must be going out of their minds at the sudden disappearance?
What do you think, will we see him ever again? 🙃
(the domesticity of the two previous episodes and the impending doom of the bankruptcy arc are one thing, but I don't think the writers should completely disregard one of the biggest characteristics that they introduced Kuea as to begin with. And I know they tried to tackle it a couple weeks before, but him telling Gemini he's going to take a break wasn't definite enough - thoughts? 😊)
YES omg 🥺 I totally agree.
We definitely need Kirin back!!! I really liked how they established that plot and furthermore I think it's an important component in his relationship with Lian so it would be nice if they picked it back up. Both him revealing his identity (can't wait for Lian to act surprised lol) and him pursuing his music career cuz please. the boy is good. Also what about Qilin??? We haven't seen him in ages either lmao.
but anyway I think for now the bankruptcy thing will remain the focus, which I'm guessing could lead to the ep11 climax though where hopefully all secrets will be revealed lol. So yeah I'm sure we'll see Kirin again and I hope they'll pick up the plot with Jungkook the producer again cuz he def deserves to be in BTS. On the other hand I keep forgetting that we only have 3 episodes left kjdfg 😭 it still feels like it all started 2 weeks ago. So yeah. Fingers crossed ✌🏻

(Part 1 of my MCU!marathon reviews)
While reviewing Ant-man yesterday I forgot to explicitly mention I love Cassie Lang and that her screaming “He’s so ugly I love him” is a mood and a vibe. Especially going into my next review: Captain America: Civil War (2016).
8/10
Two Marvel films I genuinely enjoyed? In the span of 24 hours?! Goodness gracious let’s discuss through the following string of incoherent thoughts I had while watching
Revenge plotlines + characters being heartbroken and lashing out + found family fighting with each other and hating it = me at my best. This was the entire film and I need more
Natasha’s fighting in the opening sequence - none of these guys can compare as far as fighting style goes
Tony Stark rewriting the last moments with his parents and then covering up the hurt with jokes and making a show out of it with the MIT students 🙃🙃🙃
DANIEL BRUHL???? HI BABE
“If we sign this we give up our right to choose” woooooops there’s Marvel favourite philosophical plot again 😏 It’s certainly an interesting one though, an old one in the Western world and especially interesting in an American context.
When Natasha told Steve she didn’t want him to be alone and they hugged at Peggy’s funeral. God put that in there for me and me only
I have an agenda with fictional men and it’s making sure their trauma and emotional hurt is healed so they can live happily. Bucky Barnes u r invited to my party. This agenda also includes women but you know how they usually end up dead before it comes to a resolution and also Marvel thus far in my rewatch always makes a joke out of male trauma. no mas honestly
Pepper dumping Tony because she’s finally had enough, finally something about those two that makes SENSE
Tony and Steve passionately arguing..... bitch that’s hot. Not in a sexual way but kinda? Love me some non-sexual emotional tension
Arguing about what is right and if locking people up to protect them aka taking away their freedom is right. Woooooooooooooooops
Steve and Sharon kissing? Literally nobody asked for this Marvel also it makes zero sense wtf
Scott Lang aka socialist king of my heart hello sweetie
Loved that final scene between Daniel Bruhl and Chadwick Boseman
TONY STANK honestly anything that hurts his ego is my kink
Steve’s fatherly letter to Tony and “If you need us - me - we’ll be there”. u g h
As a firm Tony-anti I loved seeing him down on his luck tbh but I also don’t like seeing people sad?? And when Tony gets sad he gets desperate and angsty and a little out of control and scared for the people around him and I love that
Yes I deserve jail for saying something sympathetic about Tony but there you have it
And on a final note, because Tumblr doesn’t let me include it in my bullet points above:
Love them both can’t wait for the solo films!
#watchlog#mcu#it was good I had alot of fun#this is probably very annoying to read but luckily#marvel review do not warrant a well written academic level thirty page thesis so thereyou go

Common lore has it that “women” are supposed to be Skinny Weak Nice And basically that when “women” aren’t these things—when they’re big, assertive, and actually have something like boundaries the world doesn’t like them. And doesn’t think they should be wives or be treated with human decency 🙁 I think it’s a little (lol—a lot) different for Black Women. In addition to all the “skinny-nice-weak” BS, we’re*also* supposed to be Strong (AKA invulnerable to pain AKA Sapphire) Asexually self-sacrificing ultra mommy to all (AKA super codependent AKA Mammy) Sexually available always and forever (AKA never seen as innocent AKA Jezebel) So, if you’re a Black Woman you’re supposed to be Skinny Momma Weak Warrior Queen Nymphomaniac Nice Girl ALL at the same damn time! 😱 No wonder Beyonce has to work so hard. What a doozy. 🙃 I present this small sociology lesson to show you how absolutely insane the dance we are asked to do is. You’re not a failure for being unable to live up to absolute ridiculousness. You’re a human. So: please continue to accept those rebel, unruly parts of yourself. Focus on what makes your heart and soul feel good. Breathe and surround yourself with people who love you as you. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to rest. Before I say peace: I’m Hannah Eko. I’m a developmental editor and a coach for writers. I help people on and off the page. One way I do this is by my deep pro-human, anti-racist expertise where I help my clients release the superbly heavy & perfectionist aspects of inner racism. I’m a certified anti-racist dialogue facilitator and yoga teacher. 🧘🏿♀️ 💜 And I spent over a decade in the world of anti-racism & I know how deeply embedded this sh*t can be. You’re not alone and you’re not crazy. If you want to learn more about what I offer, see the link in my bio.

Y/n - "I love how you both choked me half to death and yet you're not the bad guy in this story." My fav part of Ch 5.
Ch 5 spoilers
I love how Stu was talking about how James was a piece of crap, but let's be real, he ain't no better. Us pointing that out shows just how hypocritical him and Billy are. Technically speaking, it's cause him and Billy threatened James that he got insecure, got drunk, then proceeded to choke us nearly to death as Beck played in the background 😍 how romantic 🙃 They were trying to do the right thing I suppose, but their actions could have contributed to us nearly getting killed that night.
My point is, right after we accused him of choking and punching us in the face, aka being physically abusive just like James and being a hypocrite, he immediately tried to make up an excuse. Tried to justify his actions by saying he did it bc he had to 🤡 OKAY CLOWN. We once again pointed out that he did it bc he was hurt and scared. Like James, he CHOSE to nearly kill us, to be physically abusive. Stu tried to promise us that it would never happen again and that's the really sad part.
We told him straight up "You can't promise me that." And my heart HURT at that. For some reason I even have tears in my eyes typing this 🤣 He said he could, but we refused to believe him 😭 bc it's true. The devastating truth is that they are no better than James. Stu was physically and emotionally abusive in the past and so was Billy. When Billy choked us outside during Set Up we even called him "James" and it wasn't until we said that that he completely stopped. We even said in Sequels Suck that he should keep the name James cause it suits him 🤐 and we were speaking facts.
This all connects to what we told Stu in the diner - I can't believe you bc your just like him 😭 and that's a hard pill to swallow. James was a product of abandonment by his father just like Billy's abandonment issues with his mom. They all have anger issues and are control freaks. It's the same cycle and yet we love them so much 😭 We refuse to repeat it and be treated cruelly again, and it just goes to show how damaged we really are.
This could all be foreshadowing that they will try to kill us again or turn against us and we deserve so much better man 💔 We refuse to be Hallie and like we told her about Mickey - The knife will always come before you, and he will never truly love you. We told her this bc it's the exact same situation we are in. If we're not strong enough, if we're not smart enough, they could kill us and that hurts 😞
Sorry I ranted lol I just love this story too much 😂 I love the angst.
THIS....OMG....I HAVE NO WORDS BC YOU ALREADY SAID EVERY THOUGHT I HAVE SO PERFECTLY!!!
THIS is EXACTLY what I try to convey in the writing bc it's logical. We in the slasher community would love some bad boy that will kill someone for us but never us....That's not how it works. Bc ONE DAY; you're gonna piss him off or he's bored or he has a moment where you're at the other end of that knife just like anyone else.
It secretly eats me alive when readers get on my comments about "Omg why aren't we with them? But Stu's clearly changed! We need to give them a chance right away! Omg James was such a piece of shit he deserved to die but not Billy or Stu they saved us!!!"
BABE....NO. LITERALLY USE CRITICAL THINKING HERE.
I get it! Who doesn't like fluff? Who doesn't wanna cuddle and love Billy and Stu just a lil? But...They are murderers bestie.
James choked us and controlled us....What did Billy and Stu do? Choked us, controlled us, used us, hit us, shot us, tried to stab us, was going to murder or frame us.
Billy and Stu are not the heros here. They're grey villians/anti heros at best that are only helping us right now bc their asses are in the grease fire too. They're helping themselves by helping us.
Stu looks at us as the prize he wants and thinks he deserves but never got and god knows what he'll do once he wins and is bored of us.
Billy is just in it to end this before it starts in his ball court. I would actually argue his caring for us is more genuine than Stu who falls hard and fast and falls out just as easily...But Billy still loves himself and his knife more.
Do they care about us? Yes. But at this point in the story they have VERY fucked up views of love and we aren't falling down the rabbit hole with them. They have a long way to go.
#i get so hyped when you all see these details and see the bigger picture outside of 'but they're hot and love us'#i could kiss u anon 😙🥰😍
