please imagine these bullet points as a series of posts made over the course of a semester in 2015, copied from the tumblr tag i made specifically to bitch about my econ/business government and society professor:
lmao econ prof arguing against the fda
we are also supposed to subscribe to the wall street journal for this class ahahaha like hell
I spoke up about this godawful climate change article and about how literally every fact I tried to check was wrong, he tried to argue that wasn’t the point of the article but it totally was
“Does anyone watch Fox News” this class in a nutshell
the professor in the class i hate is talking about how jesus would love capitalism because it has lifted so many people out of poverty
he’s complaining about progressive income tax lmao god i hate this class
LET THE FREE MARKET DECIDE unless the free market makes an anti-corporate decision, then consumers have been misinformed and the activists responsible should be ashamed of themselves
I hope everyone’s ready for Shitty Class Liveblogging because now he’s claiming that gas prices will never go back up and gas will always be cheap from now on and also peak oil is a lie
Now he’s talking about the story of Jonah and the whale as relates to this article he saw in the Wall Street Journal. Across the class, I see a girl squint into the middle distance and mouth the word, “what.”
“is it okay to fire a pizza delivery person who doesn’t want to drive to a bad neighborhood”
this is the literal worst and most bullshit explanation of utilitarianism I have ever experienced oh my god. for the purposes of this class we are supposed to ignore ‘for the greatest number’ as an aspect of utilitarianism. just. completely altering the basic foundation of utilitarianism as an idea. apparently the free market didn’t like the actual definition so they changed it.
THIS PROFESSOR IS PRO-ENRON I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING RIGHT NOW THIS IS A REAL THING #FREE MARKET IT WAS LEGAL FREE MARKET
“I don’t think we have very many people in the United States dying because they couldn’t afford medication” actual quote from this professor right now
lmao i’m in the class i hate, he’s complaining about net neutrality now
This just in: poor people are poor because they make bad decisions, the wealth gap can be eliminated by teaching poor people how to play the stock market. This is a real thing that he apparently gives presentations about. He gets paid to tell people this.
Shitty professor isn’t going to be there tomorrow but he wants us to come in anyway to listen to a lecture on CD. Not one of his, just generally. Like, a home learning thing he bought. We asked if he could just put it on Blackboard but he said he didn’t know how to put a CD on Blackboard.
lmao I fucking knew this was the great courses. this professor is off at a conference telling people to teach the poor to trade stocks and he’s just having us sit here listening to an audiobook course he paid for about philosophy.
shitty professor is arguing the necessity of child labor in third world countries because otherwise the children would starve and be prostitutes. yes those are definitely the only two options.
oh my god he just argued that the rich are a minority protected by the constitution
I was really embarrassed about getting a 67 out of 85 on this Business, Government, and Society test but then it turned out the class average was 40 and I got the highest grade in the class. My strategy of always picking the answer I find most morally reprehensible is going well for me.
Monopolies aren’t actually that bad! Also, unions are monopolies, which is bad. (i was the only one who got a lot of the essay questions right so I had to read them in class it was awful)
libertarian economist professor gets really emotional about animals and i think he just argued that if elephants were privately owned they wouldn’t be poached because no one poaches cows
It’s my last week in the class I hate before finals and I’m pretty sure he’s arguing that the Enron scandal happened because there was too much government regulation
oh my god he’s arguing that enron was trying to do california a favor by pointing out a flaw in their system (by exploiting it) h my god he’s not even addressing the fraud in their accounting this whole class has been leading up to his passionate defense of fucking enron

Hi!! If it's not too much trouble, can I ask for the reader giving levi a custom-made hoodie that's of his favorite marine animal, and the reader having a matching axoltl one? GN!reader would be preferred, please :)
of course!! this is such a wholesome request ♡
| matching hoodies with levi! |
Tumblr media
levi x gn!mc | fluff drabble
cw: fluff, mc is gn, wholesome, established relationship, drabble
ever since you began dating levi, you really got to know what kind of demon he was. he was extremely sweet to you outside of his self-degradation he sets upon himself. ever since he’s been with you he’s actually gotten to feel how love could change someone.
valentines day was coming up, and you also knew you wanted to get him something he could make use of. as you were wandering the streets of the devil dom, window shopping as you passed the shops in search of something, you walk by something that makes you realize what exactly you should get him. you remember the last date the two of you were of at the aquarium- and how there was a gift shop packed full of sea animal merchandise. you remember how exited levi got looking at all of the stuffed animals and clothing with some of his favorite sea life. the two of you ended up leaving with matching bracelets, and since then you’ve wanted to go back and get him everything he wanted from that shop. especially the matching hoodies with a whale and an axolotl on it. levi was infatuated with all kinds of of whales, and you knew he would love a hoodie with a bunch of them on it. so that’s what you did.
you made your way back out to the shops, the day before valentines, avoiding telling levi your specific location, even lying. as guilty as you felt telling him you were grabbing food instead of going shopping, it would be worth it in the end.
as soon as you spotted the hoodies on the rack, you rushed to check them out. you grabbed him a deep blue on with whales, and yourself the same color but with axolotls all over them. they were so perfect and you were so exited. as you checked out and headed home you picked up a card and come sweets to pack along with the gift. you could barely contain yourself.
you arrived at the house of lamentation and basically ran up the stairs to hide everything in your room before stopping by levi’s. when you peeked into his room he was asleep in his gaming chair at his desk. you decided not to wake him, carefully pacing to your room to set up the surprise, ready for tomorrow.
the gift is in a blue box with a polaroid of the two of you with a sweet, “happy valentine’s days levi! ᡣ𐭩” underneath. you kept your half of the set underneath your pillow, devising a plan in your mind. it was neatly hidden under your bed as you went to sleep.
the morning came soon, you’ve been anticipating this all night. however, as you woke up you were met with a nervous levi on the edge of your bed facing away from you at the foot of the bed. “levi?” you questioned, sleepily, rubbing your eyes as you sat up. “ah!- mc! you’re awake!” he said stuttering and blushing. “what’re you doing?” you asked him, smiling at his presence. “w- well it’s valentine’s day! and i- uh- have a gift for you…” he said picking up something from the ground. “a gift! for me?” you say, perked up in bed now, exited. you watch as he picks up a beautiful glass vase of your favorite flowers, along with a stuffed animal, card, and your favorite candies inside of a small basket. you gleamed, seeing the very nervous expression still plastered across your boyfriend’s face. “levi! i love it so much! thank you!” you praised, giving him a passionate hug and kissing him all across his cheeks. he was especially red, but relieved you were happy with your gift. “i- i know it’s not a lot but”you cut him off, “it’s beautiful levi, i love it. and-actually i have something for you as well.” he looked surprised. something? for him? you leaned over the side of your bed, reaching underneath to grab the box you had prepared last night. he saw the photograph of the two of you on the lid and you visibly saw a glimmer in his eye. “i hope you love it, levi. open it! open it!” you beckoned to him. he carefully took off the lid saw the card and candies first. he opened the card to read your words, almost crying when complete. your heart softened for him. that was when he saw the heavy, paper-wrapped item in the bag. as he began to unwrap it you slowly grabbed yours from under the pillow, swiftly placing it in your lap. he unveiled the hoodie and you saw his lips part in surprise as he saw what it was. he quickly picked up the hoodie to admire it in its full glory, a sound of excitement and joy emitting from him. “wow! mc, really!? you got this for me?!” he said, a blush of happiness spread across his face. “and that’s not all, look at this!” you pickup your matching hoodie, showing him. he can barely contain himself until he throws himself on top of you to hug you, thanking you. “mc- this was amazing! no one has done something this special for me- ever!” you found his happiness so adorable. “anything for you, levi, happy valentine’s day!”
——————————
thank you for this wholesome request! i hope you enjoy this ♡

Fallout 4 really coulda made the 'Living by the sea' vibes so terrifying. Of course, people know of mirleurks and stuff. But what about the things they don't know about. The fear of the unknown.
We know that sea life was also affected by radiation. We've seen the size of a mirelurk queen. We know that sharks exist from the corpses.
So. How do we know megalodons aren't back in the Falloutverse. Or krakens don't exist. Sea life enlarged and at an unimaginable scale, unknown to the survivors of humanity as they lurk beneath the waters.
What if Sole had been told not to cross the ocean to Far Habour. What if there's a reason that, after 200 years, no one has brought back voyager boats and sailing the oceans to reconnect the world. What if they know better. Or maybe they realise they don't know anything at all.
What if Sole set up a nice base at Spectacle Island, and is confused when Hancock refuses to see it. Sole jokes that he's paranoid, but he reminds them he grew up on the waterfront. He helped his dad fish when he was younger. Boats don't scare him. The water doesn't scare him.
"It's what's in it," He explained coldly. He sat down in the sand, shotgun in his arms. Sole asked him to elaborate, he said he couldn't. "You wanna go after the Institute, fine. I'll help. That's an unknown I can handle. But, I ain't getting in that boat, and neither should you."
"I'll...Ask someone else."
"Can it be Danse?"
Sole thought he was being dramatic but quickly realised that none of the companions were keen to travel across the water.
There was that time Sole once jumped off the Prydwen and into the deep sea, so far from shore, only to hear a guttural noise around them. They couldn't see anything. The water dark blue, and filthy, almost black from when the world was scorched. But whatever it was, it was large enough that its voice vibrated through their entire being. They convinved themself it was a whale. They know whales don't sound like that.
On the days Sole is at the castle, they like to look out at the ocean. Or did, until today when they saw a large boat in the distance become capsized. They almost sent their own boats out to help, but Preston placed a firm hand on their shoulder. His eyes told Sole everything he wouldn't. Preston's not the type to let people die. So, Sole turned the radio up so none of the other soldiers could hear the distant screams for help and distress calls. And to drown out their own guilt, watching as the last fisherman attempted to swim desperately to shore, only to be dragged down below the waves. Sole didn’t look away until the boat finally sank. When they did, their eyes landed on the East Wall, which was under reconstruction from when the mirelurk queen had emerged. Sole wonders if that was even the largest sea creature out there.
When Sole's getting ready for bed, Preston knocks at their door gently. "Even I can admit when something is a lost cause," There was a guilt dripped into his tone. A silent apology to the fallen men. "I'll tell our guys to stay out of the water for a few days. We can rely on the nets for fish."
"We should set up a limit for how far out our boats can go."
"We will. Tomorrow. For now, get some rest." He's halfway to closing the door when Sole speaks again.
"I jumped off of the Prydwen once..."
"Excuse me?"
"I was fine. I wanted to go into the water. I did."
"Excuse me?"
"I couldn't see anything. But I heard something. I felt the sound go through me. I think it was a whale."
"Think or hope?" Sole doesn't say anything. Preston gets his answer regardless. "Was it close to you or do you think it was fine?"
"Think or hope," Sole mirrors. "I don't know. It was large."
"That seems to be a theme with the ocean."
"...Is that why no one has tried to cross the ocean again in 200 years? I thought...I thought there'd be pirates again out there. Or something. That massive wooden ships had made a comeback somewhere."
"I can't say. For all we know, maybe people have tried." Sole doesn't want to think about the connotations of that.
"No one wanted to go to Spectacle Island."
"I'm sure it looks nice but...To be honest, neither would I. I'm Sorry."
"It's fine. I get it now...I don't think I do anymore, for a while...John wouldn't get in the boat."
"Hancock...Is a smart man. Sometimes."
"Sometimes? You're saying that to the person that jumped off of the Prydwen."
"True, you do make Hancock look like Einstein."
"Thank God people still know Einstein," Sole mumbles. "John's smarter than he let's on."
"He once showed up to my door, drunk, asking if I thought Nick had a penis. Then, if he did, if it could be classed as a vibrator. I refused to answer or ask the context for why he wanted to know."
"...On that note, goodnight Preston."
"Goodnight, Sole."
Sole stares at the ceiling as they try to sleep that night. The sound of the waves crashing against the walls keeps them awake.

Turmoil; Chapter 4
Roman Roy x Reader
a/n: I’m back on that grind guys. enjoy x
Word Count: 2.744k
Tumblr media
“You’re fucking lucky Y/N was there,” Kendall says, struggling not to raise his voice. “You’re so fucking lucky your vote didn’t tip the scale.”
You’re back in Kendall’s office, you and him perched on his sofa while Roman is stood, leaning against the wall.
“I… I just couldn’t,” he says meekly.
“Then why’d we agree to a vote of no confidence?” you ask. “Roman, I get if your feelings are complicated about this, but you almost fucked us over.“
“Why am I doing this again?” he asks, pressing the heels of his palms into his eyes.
Kendall scoffs. “You need to think about what you want. Dad’s a horrible person doing horrible things. You can go run to him, but I’m staying here.”
“We go to Norway tomorrow. How about we just have a good time?” Roman suggests. “There’s nothing we- or he, for the matter, can do while we’re abroad. I need… I just need a break.” You roll your eyes and get to your feet.
“Whatever, Roman. I’ll see you at home.” You give Kendall an affectionate squeeze on the shoulder before going out and finding Greg in the bullpen.
“Oh, hello, Y/N.” He finishes whatever it is he was doing and turns in his chair to face you. “I could hear the… commotion from all the way over here. And I saw the police, and, uh, Kendall’s still alive, so…?”
“Yeah. It worked, surprisingly. They had to escort Logan out the conference room.” You drag a hand over your eyes. “Instead of dinner, want to go out for lunch? I like you, Greg, but my brain’s going to be fried by the time the work day’s over, and I don’t want to subject you to that.”
He smooths his dress pants at the knee before getting up. “Yeah, no, yeah, that’d be great.” He glances over your shoulder. “Uh, is he okay?”
You follow his gaze, peering into Kendall’s office to find Roman facing you both, watching intently with his hands folded behind his back. “Don’t mind him. He’s neurotic.” You touch your thumb to the cool gold of the ring sitting on your finger.
“Well, then, after you.” You walk across the street to a quaint brunch spot that’s hailed for it’s food. “I love this place,” Greg tells you. The conversation pivots, however, when you both are seated. “Shiv told me you need some, what should I say… favors?”
“We do, and I’m sorry it’s all been dumped on you.”
“No, it’s okay. It makes me feel important.”
You laugh. “What do you have in mind? Shiv tell you anything?”
“I’ve been thinking- and it’s completely valid if my voice isn’t relevant to you, but I’d like to share my thoughts -that instead of whaling so hard on Logan directly, why not try to get access to him through Marcia? Or any past… connection?”
“Do you think we’ll be able to find anything?”
”I heard, through the grapevine, of course, a few rumors about Marcia and a… new friend.”
“If you find anything,” you say carefully, “I think you know what to do.”
“I also have heard a lot of complaining from people who work directly under him. Or, used to, I guess.”
“I think the general consensus is that he’s a criminal piece of shit. We just can’t find any proof.”
“I think I’ll be able to find something.” He tentatively picks up the menu laid out in front of him.
“Do you think you’ll make it out to Norway?”
“Me? I think Roman would shoot me.”
“You should come, after you deal with things here. Everyone could use a break.”
“I’ll try. I do really need to get out of here for a while.”
“If Roman’s giving you trouble, you can tell me, you know.”
“Oh, it isn’t anything new. I don’t know what it is with him. He has his own issues he doesn’t know how to deal with, so sometimes he projects.”
“That’s profound,” you say. “You’re right to not think anything of it. I know him well enough by now to say I don’t think he thinks before doing anything.”
You both order, and conversation comes easily to the two of you. Greg’s a wholesome guy, you think. He makes you comfortable, and you know you can trust him.
“I wanted to tell you something,” he says after a while. “I haven’t seen Connor in a bit. But last time I did see him, he was on the phone with some lawyer, talking about a lawsuit. And I’m almost 100% sure it wasn’t you, because I know your name isn’t Brad.”
You give your drink a slow stir. “Did you catch what the lawsuit was about?”
“All I heard were the words ‘negligence’ and ‘innkeepers law’.”
You press your lips together. None of this seems right. “Is it possible you can figure out the firm he was speaking with?”
“I’ll do my best. I figured you’d want to know.”
“I do. Thank you, Greg.”
Eventually, after a fight over bill(which you won), you hail a taxi and make your way back home. You kick your heels off by the door, Roman’s dress shoes haphazardly strewn in the same vicinity. You pad into the kitchen and toss your keys onto the counter, clocking Roman sat on the couch.
“Greg, huh?”
“What about him?” You pull a bottle of water from the fridge.
“Do you like him?”
“Yeah, I do. He’s respectful and I can trust him,” you say acridly.
“I respect you. A lot, actually.”
“You don’t show it. It’s not a competition, anyway. Why do you care?”
“We’re engaged.”
You roll your eyes at his childishness. It’s starting to get on your nerves. “We’re just friends, remember? Your words, not mine.” You leave the kitchen and wander into your room. You don’t think Roman’s ever slept in the bed- he’s been living on the couch. He gets up and follows you. “Even if I was into Greg- which I’m not -what’s your deal?”
“I lied to you. That morning.” You’re sitting at your desk now, and stare up at him.
“About?”
“What I remember.” He takes both your hands. “I remember everything I said. I meant it.”
You can feel your face begin to heat up. “Are you drunk?”
“Sober. I swear it.” He uses his finger to draw a cross over his heart, still gripping your hand in his.
“What’s your point here, Roman?”
“I want to try being something. I want us to try being something.”
“Are we just ignoring the fact that you threw us under the fucking bus?”
“Yes, we are. We’ll talk about that later, I promise.” He gets to his knees, resting his cheek on your thigh as he looks at you. “I want to do something right, for once. I want to do this right.”
You’re sat frozen in place. You force yourself to card a hand through his hair, pushing it from his face.
“You were on the news, once. Giving some legal advice before my father went on air for some propagandist bullshit. I thought you were so fucking hot. I mean, I still do-” He cuts himself off. “What I’m trying to say is, I like you, you’re fucking gorgeous, and while the situation we’re in is less than ideal, I want to make something out of it.” You stay silent. “You’re kind, funny, you’re brighter than the fucking sun. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted, but I’m just some piece of garbage who keeps making things between us worse. Friends? I was lying, then, too. I’ll never be able to accept you as just a friend. I’ll never stop wanting you.”
“Really?” is all you can manage.
“Yes, really. And I know I’m an asshole. I’m proud of it, 90% of the time. That last 10% is when I’m with you and I feel so fucking guilty I made that precious smile of yours disappear. It eats me alive that I piss you off. That you don’t like me. But that’s all I’ve ever been capable of doing.”
“So change it. Make me like you,” you say quietly. Reluctantly, he pulls himself to his feet and instead hooks his arms under you, hoisting you up. He takes your place in your desk chair, settling you on his lap.
“You deserve lots better than me, Y/N.” Roman keeps his arms wound around you, one tight around your waist, the other across your back, anchoring you to him. “I don’t know what I was doing this morning. I get so scared of him, Y/N. It’s like he was looking into my soul.”
“If you think I deserve better,” you begin, “become better.” You let yourself lean into his chest. “As for the vote, I still think you’re an asshole.”
He sighs. “And that’s fair. Kendall ripped me a new one after you left.”
“Good.” His hand wanders idly up and down your back, gently massaging knots of tension that he can find. “Roman Roy, realizing the consequences of his actions.” You drag a finger across his jaw. “Am I dreaming?”
”If we are, I don’t want to wake up.”
“So, what now?”
“We be all lovey-dovey. I mean, we’re already engaged.”
You snort. “You can’t stop saying that.”
“Who wouldn’t, when engaged to someone who looks like you?” He gives your ass a quick pinch.
“Roman!”
“Sorry. Had to,” he says, grinning stupidly. “Jokes aside though, I want to take it slow.”
“I… Yeah. Let’s take it slow.”
“You do want this, right?” he asks quietly.
“I’ve wanted you since the minute we made eye contact.” You stifle a smile. “You’re sexy when you have a stubble. What happened to it?”
“What, I’m not sexy now?” He absentmindedly draws a hand over his smooth jaw. “I’ll grow it back for you.”
“Hey, I’m just kidding. You’re sexy now, don’t worry.” Roman grunts and moves the two of you to bed.
“What? My back hurts.” He sinks into his side of the bed. “Please don’t make me sleep on the couch again.”
“You’re always welcome here.” You sigh happily and roll out of bed.
“Where are you going?”
“To brush my teeth and get ready for bed, unlike some slob I know. No outside clothes on my bed, Roman.”
You duck the pillow he chucks at you.
As you progress through your nightly routine, eventually, he comes to stand with you at the sink. You make a face at him before returning to your business. For a bit, he just watches you, happy to just be in your presence. When he starts brushing his teeth, he hooks an arm around your waist and pulls you close.
You protest halfheartedly, and he rolls his eyes at you before spitting his toothpaste out. “Quit whining,” he tells you, giving your hip a squeeze.
“I’m building a wall between us tonight,” you threaten lightly.
“I was a rock climber as a kid.” He pokes you gently. “Now that you’ve let me into your cold, shriveled up heart, I’m not leaving.”
“You still have a lot of work to do, Roman,” you chide. “Just because you got onto your knees for the first time in your life doesn’t mean everything’s magically okay.”
You both pad back into your bedroom, crawling under the covers together. “I thought we could kiss and make up,” he says, propped up on his arm, facing you. You curl up on your side, also facing him.
“Absolutely not,” you tell him. “You’re going to sit here and explain yourself. Or you’re sleeping on the floor.”
He sighs, pulling up the blankets so that you’re both covered. “It’s like I blacked out. I was so scared, Y/N.”
“Why? He can’t do anything to you, Roman, especially now that I’m involved in all this.”
“It’s complicated,” he mutters.
”We have time,” you urge gently.
“It’s the way I grew up, I guess.” He collapses onto his back. “He’d snap over the smallest things. My entire childhood I was walking on eggshells. I don’t… It’s such a bad excuse. God, I feel horrible.” He covers his face with his hands.
You crawl over, close enough to him where you’re able to set your cheek onto his chest and still lay comfortably. You’re still facing him, and one of his hands moves to sit on your hip. “I think I was too harsh on you,” you murmur. “Don’t get me wrong, it still was a dick move, but I get it. Just promise you’ll do better, okay?”
He peels his other hand off of his face to wind it through your hair. “I promise. I promise.” You press a kiss to his chest, to which he stiffens. “Don’t,” he says quietly. “Don’t.”
Hesitantly, you pull away from him, settling on your side of the bed and facing the other way. You fall asleep without saying anything else.
You wake up to an empty bed. You thought it was going so well, too. You drag yourself out of bed and find him in the kitchen. Wordlessly, he pushes you a mug of coffee and a plate of scrambled eggs.
“I felt bad. But then I remembered I don’t know how to cook,” Roman says meekly. “I’m sorry. It’s getting too real for me.”
“What’s that mean?”
“I, uh, ‘ve never been in a serious relationship. Not with someone I like this much. I don’t… I don’t want to fuck this up, Y/N.”
You try wiping the bleariness from your face. “I don’t understand you, Rome.”
He reaches out, wiping a bit of coffee from your lip. “I hope you can learn to.”
“As long as you put in the effort, too.” You look up at him. “I don’t mean to pressure you into anything you don’t want. I just mean I want you to actually try.” You take a sip from your mug. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you haven’t exactly been… proactive the last week.”
He leans against the counter behind him. “Who’s the one who went out with another man?”
“Roman, that doesn’t have anything to do with anything.” You laugh as he jabs a hand into your side.
“I’m not going to let you forget it.”
“It’s Greg. Wholesome, kind, Greg.”
“You should’ve been out with me.”
“Take me out, then.”
He bridges the small distance between you and fits his hands into the curves of your waist. “I’ll be all over you in Norway, don’t worry.” He takes the heel of his palm and massages circles into the skin of your hip.
“We need to leave soon,” you tell him. You want to kiss him, but you know you can’t.
“I haven’t even packed,” he says lightly.
“Roman!”
“God, I’ll never get sick of hearing that.”
You drag him into the closet and roll his suitcase over to him. “Get to it.”
☾𖤓
At the airport, Roman carries all of your bags for you. He even demands to hold your purse, a cute short strapped Prada you’d treated yourself to the first big check you’d received. He holds it by the handle over his shoulder the same way one would hold a jacket. He looks silly with his sunglasses on and your purse sitting on his back. It’s endearing, and you smile softly at him.
In the car out to the private jet, you and Shiv make plans to go out shopping your first day in Norway. Willa sits cramped next to Connor, and you feel bad, so you and Shiv invite her. Kendall’s practically snoring on Roman’s shoulder. The poor guy’s been working dusk till dawn this whole ordeal. He deserves the break.
You’re glad Logan won’t be taking the same plane as the six of you. You wouldn’t be able to handle it- the paranoia, his snide comments, and hell, even just his voice would set you off.
You and Shiv settle across from each other on the plane, her feet propped up in your lap. Roman’s slumped against you, asleep, and you think he’s drooling. Kendall sits across from him, also asleep, neck pillow and sleeping mask on like the sleeping beauty he is.
You sigh contentedly.
If you close your eyes, you can pretend like the threat that is Logan Roy isn’t dangling over your heads.
If you close your eyes, you can pretend like you’re just travelling with your chosen family.
If you close your eyes, you can pretend like you’re at peace.

THE MARTIAN ( novel by andy weir ) change as necessary !
mankind reaching out to send people to another planet for the very first time and expand the horizons of humanity blah, blah, blah. 
i’m pretty much fucked. 
they got the parades and fame and love of the world, i got a firm handshake and a hot cup of coffee when i got home.
i would only be “in command” of the mission if i were the only remaining person.
what do you know? i’m in command.
it wasn’t your fault. you did what you had to do. 
in your position i would have done the same thing. 
it was a ridiculous sequence of events that led to me almost dying.
everyone thinks i’m dead. 
ok, i’ve had a good night’s sleep, and things don’t seem as hopeless as they did yesterday.
i won’t be able to whip something up with tinfoil and gum.
fear my botany powers!
but hey, time is the one thing i’ve got.
i wonder if they'll ever find out what really happened.
i’ll spare you the math. the answer is _________
bleh. i’m going to bed
my life depends on you
i played a lot of dungeons and dragons.
i have an idiotically dangerous plan 
i suppose i’ll think of something. or die.
the answer is: i don’t know.
all i accomplished today was thinking up a plan that’ll kill me
also, i have duct tape. 
after a search of everyone’s personal items i found my answer.
that was sarcasm, by the way.
this all sounds like a great idea with no chance of catastrophic failure.
do you have any idea the magnitude of shitstorm this is gonna be?
how come aquaman can control whales? they’re mammals! 
i expected it to be cold, but jesus christ!
now, on to my next task: sitting around with nothing to do for 12 hours.
i ask for a picture and i get the fonz?
the whole world’s been rooting for you. 
really looking forward to not dying. 
please watch your language.
sorry we left you behind, but we don't like you.
you're sort of a smart-ass.
your request for “anything, oh god anything but disco” is denied.
no. you’ll fuck it up and die.
i took it apart, found the problem, and fixed it.
i don’t see anything... i can hear it, but... it’s down here somewhere, but i don’t know where.
the subtle and refined “hurl my body at the wall” technique had some flaws. 
named after the greek goddess who traveled the heavens with the speed of wind. she's also the goddess of rainbows.
i'm not giving up. just planning for every outcome. it's what i do.
your poster outsold the rest of ours combined.
why are you such a nerd?
you should try to be more cool. wear dark glasses and a leather jacket. carry a switchblade.
you started my training by buying me a beer.
so now i have to do boring-ass experiments with test tubes and zzzzzzzzzz....
frankly, i suspect you're a super villain.
just once i'd like something to go to plan, ya know?
no? ok... what was that!? oh, nothing? ok...
for now i just want to go home.
there's always hope
are we just watching a tragedy play out?
you’ll survive this. i don't know how, but you will. 
i've defiled enough historical sites for now.
tomorrow night, i'll sink to an all new low!
tomorrow night, i'll be at rock bottom!
be a smart-ass to a guy seven levels above you. see how that works out.
i remember when you were shy
the attitude comes with the job
and by “enjoying” i mean “hating so much i want to kill people.”
there aren't many people who can say they've vandalized a three billion dollar spacecraft. but i'm one of them.
what's our role in all this? if something goes wrong, what can we do?
how do you come up with this shit?
i admit it's fatally dangerous, but consider this: i'd get to fly around like iron man.
i need you to come back in and make a bomb.
i knew that guy was a mad scientist!
i think we should just go with my iron man idea.
well if you won't let us then- wait... wait a minute... i'm looking at my shoulder patch and it turns out i'm the commander. 
give me a minute. you're the first person i've seen in ______.
i think about the sheer number of people who pulled together just to save my sorry ass, and i can barely comprehend it.
i represent progress, science, and the interplanetary future we’ve dreamed of for centuries. 
they did it because every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out. it might not seem that way sometimes, but it’s true.
yes, there are assholes who just don’t care, but they’re massively outnumbered by the people who do.

Lookism at the Zoo
Time for some nonsense (I miss the slice of life days and I have too much time on my hands)
Daniel: he's just happy to be here. We've already seen him at Notte World. Another school trip? With friends? Cute animals? Fun memories? SO EXCITED !!!!
Jay: whereever Daniel goes, he goes. Any part of the zoo is his fave when he gets to look around with Daniel. Makes the group take a lot of pics of both of them for the memories. Considering hiring out the zoo so him and Daniel can go alone another time
Zoe: also tags along with Daniel and Jay but feels like a third wheel. If only little Daniel was here... Daydreaming about being with little Daniel then getting angry and flustered with herself
Joy: competing with her bro for Daniel's attention. Tries to wander off with just him on their own but no chance with Jay and Zoe around
Crystal: gives some structure to the Daniel harem. She's excited to look around, and actually gives the group some direction on where to go
Mira: loves any cute animals. Not a fan of reptiles, creepy crawlies or amphibians and stays clear. Fluffy? Yes they're for her. Definitely not interested in feeding time!
Zack: who cares about the zoo as long as Mira is here. Trails after her and treats this as another 'date' (even if they hang around in a group most of the time). Tries to get Mira to walk through the bat cave hoping that she'll cling to him lol
Vasco: Any and all parts of the zoo is his fave! Bears YEP. Tigers YEP. Some random birds YEP. Wait holD ON KANGAROOS!?!?OMG JACE LETS CLIMB IN THE ENCLOS-
Jace: he's happy Vasco is happy, but honestly a bit of a headache keeping him safe. Gets dragged along by Vasco to get his face painted. Loves elephants. Intelligent, herd animals with big ears 🥰
Eli: misses Yenna, would much rather spend time at the Zoo with his little baby. Already planning a trip out with her to see all the animals soon
Vin Jin: glasses too dark, no idea what he's looking at
Mary: Vin's reluctant guide. She wants to look around everywhere but that idiot has tinted his glasses AGAIN. God she really can't take him anywhere. Has a soft spot for elephants
Johan: this poor little guy. He likes seeking out animals with a social structure that looks after each other (he just so lonely and misses his momma). Elephants, orangutans, chimps. Watching otters hold hands makes him sad 🥺 Misses Miro and Eden. Gives them extra snuggles and treats
Big Deal: ok first why are they at the zoo, second how can they afford it, third this is my headcannon so Sammy is included
Sinu: wandering around like Vasco 2.0. He doesn't remember ever feeling like a kid or not worrying about Big Deal, so this is a big day for him. Cries on Jake at the end of the day
Jake: happy to be wandering around without having too many worries for the day. That's for tomorrow Jake to worry about. Finally gets to spend some time with Sinu and Big Deal just like the old days. Teaches Jerry about the different animals and reads the signs and placards with him
Samuel: kicked out for smoking
Gun: doesn't care for the zoo. Full on safari or nothing. Wants to see them out in the wild and survival of the fittest. Ideally wants to see an apex predator hunt for their prey
Goo: same as Gun but loves killer whales. Insanely strong and sadistic, wonder why he likes them... Otherwise he likes dragging Gun to the camels and trying to get him spat on

Nine People You Want To Get To Know Better
Hi everyone, I'm back from an unplanned semi-hiatus (turns out moving countries can really do a number on you) and am looking forward to interacting again. On that note, thank you very much to my new mutual, @lordfenric-writes for tagging me! If you don't already know Fenric (can I call you Fenric?), go check out their Content Links Post for access to their 2023 NaNoWriMo project and more! Soft tagging: @tate-lin @lucianinsanity @songsofsomnia @moonscribbler @words-after-midnight @blind-the-winds @sarah-sandwich @mydeadpony @inkovert @sender-paulson @athenswrites @wordsacrossemptypages, @winterandwords and anyone else who'd like to participate! If you want me to remove you from the tags, just send me a message and I'll get right on it <3
Current Book I'm Reading: OK, so the first thing you need to know about me is that I'm a fully institutionalized academic, and although I've (THANKFULLY) left that world behind, I. CAN'T FOR. THE. LIFE. OF. ME. stop reading like an academic. I haven't been able to read fiction in over a year. The only genre outside of non-fiction that I still seem to be able to connect with is horror. And not like ghosts in your attic horror. Obscure, weird-as-fuck horror. Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman & Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova horror (which are both excellent books, by the way). But that wasn't the question, was it? The question was: what am I reading now. Well, (oh god) I've been digging into The Last Man Takes LSD: Foucault and the End of Revolution by Mitchell Dean & Daniel Zamora, which sounds a whole lot more trippy than it actually is. Mainly, I'm interested because the authors point out that Foucault's late philosophy, his so-called 'ethical turn' towards an 'aesthetics of existence', was inspired by a trip he took to California (and the upper reaches of the universe). Since I wrote my MA dissertation on this exact topic (the ethical turn, not the LSD), I thought it might come in handy for future articles...
Last Song I Listened To: Bastille & Hans Zimmer's new cover of Bastille's Pompeii, Pompeii MMXXIII (recommended by a friend). Before that, I was listening to a 'British Folk/Weird Folk/Horror Folk' playlist on Spotify which was pretty interesting... Actually, it reminded me of being a child in the English countryside, stuffing my face with berries by the side of the road and then going to the new-age shop in the village to listen to whale-song CDs, touch magic gemstones, and smell incense sticks. Very hippie.
Currently Watching: The Servant on Apple TV (is the baby real or not!? It's driving me crazy); Foundation on Apple TV (and I swear it's not because Jared Harris is in it or Lee Pace wears chainmail crop-tops. I swear!); and... The News? Does the news count? I watch a lot of 'the news' now. Actually, I can't stop watching... It's been quite sad and terrible lately...
Current Fic I'm Reading: Sorry, I don't read fics! I know it's blasphemy. Believe me, no one is more disgusted with me than I am. But yeah, there you go... Never been my thing, really. Nothing against it.
Next On My Watch List: the upcoming Napoleon movie featuring Joaquin Phoenix; Killers of the Flower Moon; anything A23 produces anytime; Priscilla by Sofia Coppola (which is A23 also so, you know, naturally); and I'll probably re-watch The Green Knight for Christmas (it is a Christmas movie, after all).
Current Obsession: My WIP, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which you can check out on my writeblr side-blog (@thesorcerersapprentice) has been my main obsession for the past -what?- four years? More or less? I really feel like until I've written this thing, gotten it out of me, I won't be able to write anything else. It just won't leave me alone. I can't think around it; I always end up coming back. It's a story I fundamentally, deep down in my bones, need to write. So it's my obsession: today, tomorrow, and always, right up until the day it's done.

Chicago PD: Jay/Reader
I was always told to never drive angry. I was told to take a deep breath, and then drive. And maybe if I did, I wouldn’t have had to skid and swerve and hit the curb with enough force to know that my car would need to go to a shop. The moon had taken its place in the night sky, and thankfully I had stopped on a street that was lit with enough lamps to feel slightly comfortable waiting for a tow. Slightly.
Taking a needed breath to calm myself, I went through my contacts. It was a night off, one that didn’t come around too often. And one that needed to be taken advantage of. That also meant that there was a chance that Kim wouldn’t answer her phone. After a few rings, it went to voicemail. Knowing that Adam and Kevin’s would do the same, I still attempted to call only to end up with the voicemail messages.
Finally, I called Jay.
The phone was answered after one ring.
“Aren’t you meant to be on a date?” He asked chuckling. Behind his voice, there were people singing karaoke.
“Supposed to be.” I sighed. “Look, I know it’s our night off, but I need help.”
“Are you okay?” There was an edge to his voice that told me the humour he answered with was gone.
“I’m fine. I hit a curb, and something’s wrong with my car. I called a tow and I don’t want to wait alone.” I took another deep breath.
“Okay,” Jay said after a beat. “Send me your location, I need to pay my tab. Do you want me to stay on the line?”
“Sending it now, and no, I’ll see you when you get here.”
Thankfully I hadn’t stopped too far from Jay’s location, probably Molly’s, as his car pulled in behind mine ten minutes after we hung up. I opened the car door and stepped out.
“What happened?” Jay asked as he met me at my car.
“To the car or the date?”
“Both!” Jay knelt down and began looking at my car to see what kind of damage I had done. As he did, I noticed him looking up from the car at my outfit from the date.
“Well, I think I damaged the axel. Something ran out, I think it was a cat or something and I swerved and hit the curb.” I kicked the tire lightly as I explained. “As for the date, we sat down, and then he got a phone call. Turns out that another girl he was interested in was free and he left.”
“Wait, he stood you up after you guys got to the restaurant?”
“Exactly! Thankfully we didn’t order anything, because I’m sure I would’ve had to pay his bill too.” I pinched my nose. “I basically got angry and left after him and I wasn’t thinking straight.”
“Makes sense. The guy’s an idiot by the way.” Jay offered with a smile. I smiled back and shivered as a gust of wind blew towards us. “Do you want to sit in the truck?”
“Yeah,” I nodded and followed after Jay towards his truck. He opened the passenger side door and gestured for me to get in. Once he got in, he started the car and the heating came on warming us.
“Thank you.” I said after sitting in silence for a few minutes. “I appreciate this.”
“Of course. I saw you calling Kim and Kevin and figured I’d be next.” Jay shrugged his shoulders and I looked at him. “They were singing at Molly’s when you tried to call.”
“Oh.” I nodded. “I thought that was a dying whale and you were watching a nature documentary.” I joked causing Jay to laugh. “But seriously, thanks.”
“You’d do the same if it were me.”
Before I could reply, the tow truck arrived. I began opening the door and as I did, Jay raised a hand to stop me as he got out and made his way to the tow truck driver. I watched as he spoke with the driver as the car was hooked up and he took the information as to where the car was going to be taken.
“I know a guy, and he’ll probably be able to get the car running back to normal by tomorrow night.” Jay told me getting back in. He handed me a business card of the garage he sent the car to. “I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
“Oh, thanks.” I took the card and put it into my bag. “I can just call a cab and I’ll let you get back to Molly’s.”
“Are you kidding?” Jay looked at the clock. “It’s like seven, if you want, we can get something to eat. You said it yourself that you didn’t eat. Besides, you’re already dressed for a date.”
“Is this your way of saying you want to take me on a date?” I teased. Jay rolled his eyes.
“How about we just get something to eat?” Jay asked before starting the car.

S6e1 thoughts:
Well here we are. I have zero desire to rewatch most of s6 so far, but I swore I’d see this through.
The scenery. I’ve actually visited the areas where they filmed a lot of this and it is exactly as gorgeous as it looks on TV.
The whales. There’s some reused footage here, but overall, whales are amazing. I’ve been whale watching twice in my life and the experience is unreal.
And on we go to the opening for our main cast and we have…Charlie working out with Rex. Joe stepping out of his office. Sarah in the lab. Jesse geeking out over tech. And this opening sequence sets the tone for everything I dislike about this season so far: the “supporting” characters, who spent so much of s4 and s5 coming into their own, are back in their little boxes, and it’s suddenly the Charlie and Rex show again.
Ugh I want to change the channel.
There are a handful of same actor/different character folks and I cannot be bothered to look them all up because I’m not making an effort for this disappointment of an episode.
Yeah okay Charlie’s hair is different. I don’t personally find it distracting.
There are one or two decent team moments I guess.
This is basically just a “visit Newfoundland in the summer” ad masquerading as an episode.
Reduced screen time for Mayko plus Sarah being basically just a glorified fingerprint analyst in this episode does not fill me with the warm fuzzies.
For the record, if I were to contemplate an alternate episode order for the season as aired thus far it would be 4, 2, 1, 6, 5, but honestly I don’t think the placement of 1, 6 and 5 matter. (Edited to add that oops, I forgot 3 🤣 But I don’t think its placement matters either.)
In truth, I may have been a little too harsh on this one the first time around, because as a filler episode, it’s not their worst. However, as a season premiere, and in contrast to their strong previous season, it’s far from their best.
Let’s pretend the whole gang was on the boat tour at the end. They most definitely weren’t, but you can see Sherri Davis on the top level and Sherri-spotting is always fun. Also please remind me I’ve meant to write a fic where one of the previous two times that week Charlie and Rex went on the whale tour, they took Sarah.
I’m curious to see how I feel about episode 2 because I recall it being my least favourite so far, but that’s a problem for tomorrow me.

Gang orca X Reader 18+
you guys are gonna ignore this so watch your back
Im not giving warning but yes there are a couple
Little backstory “Tatakai“Shirakima ☜︎ look up
She is a 17 year old that was kicked out at age 15 for not sharing her paycheck with her parents for rent making her fight and scrounge for money and life for survival making her cautions
Story time
You were looking for your 7th job sick of men thinking they can control you as a woman   
You walked to the train satiation when you saw the train was broken when you said there goes that interview
Sitting down for a while you smelled the ocean when you stood up going wanting to take a walk
You walked through the smooth sand watching the waves crash when you looked around seeing nobody you took off your dress getting into the water to your chest
After swimming for a while you wanted to get out but felt ripples when you heard a deep close voice say getting out already
You turned around punching him hard he knocked into the water when you quickly ran out of the water running home never looking back
Next Morning
You got a call from gang orca's agency when you said oh no
You still answered saying hello you heard a British voice say hello madam is this Tatakai Shirakima you panicked but said yes this is she
He paused saying would you be available to meet with Mr.Orca this evening at 11 you nodded realizing you were on the phone saying yes thank you he sighted saying excellent hope you have a wonderful evening
You were down the street seeing the masculine whale on the big building getting courage you walked the rest of the mile waiting in the lobby
You were waiting when you saw the whale get off the elevator walking towards you when you got your stress ball squeezing it lifeless
You guys were up in his office when he said you want to be my secretary you looked at him shocked when you said no I can't you went to get up to the door
Gang Orca slammed the door shut saying you're not leaving unless I say you can and you haven't told you the weekly paycheck
You turned around looking up at the giant saying how much he smiled saying $1,300 you gasped saying absolutely not that's weekly I don't need that much
He laughed saying I'm also paying you so I can look at you so you ok with the price now you were unsure when he said what's wrong you signed saying I don't have clothes for a fancy job like this he smiled saying don't worry I got it covered
You nodded saying you also can't touch me in any private space he smiled saying ok you nodded leaving Gang orca watched which ways you went when yelled Vinca I need a outfit by tomorrow but not for me
You walked in the elevator going up everyone was looking when you went into Orca's office he stood up saying here's your suit he held it up when you said that's pretty thank you sir

You were about to break down when Gang orca said Tatakai you ok you said no you're voice breaking when he said what's wrong you held your breath stopping tears saying I can't get my thighs in the pants
Gang orca sighed saying can I see not in a weird way I promise you opened the door when he looked at your head down and the tears running along your face he wiped them saying can I have the pants you took off the pants hanging them when he said for now you can wear your jeans
You walked out to gang orca's office hearing him yell I don't care I want the damn pants in a wider size
You flinched when he slammed the phone you sat down in the fancy black chair when you said sir
He looked up saying yes you looked down saying I'm sorry I started trouble already he got up saying no you're fine my assistant is an idiot my old one was better you nodded looking up
You walked around with a binder when you sat at your desk giving you a perfect view of Gang orca him seeing you as well
You were typing when someone popped in saying hi your new right well be careful Orca has a thing for the fleshy ones you smiled saying ok thank you they smiled leaving
You looked at orca's office seeing it was new blacked out you looked at your computer feeling a tear fall as you wiped it quickly
You were swamped everyone piled stuff on you because you were new till Orca said if I see one more person put something on the secretary's desk I swear you're fired do your own damn work
You did some of the work since it was easy till you heard two people talking I heard orca only hired her just to fuck and look at
You wanted to cry everyone said these things when you were near they knew what they were talking about and you were a doll
You had your final straw when someone said Orca has been protective of the new girl bet you they're fucking
You waited till you went to Orca's office in tears you closed the door seeing he was working you yelled at him saying you don't actually want me here do you
He stood up saying you better lower that tone little girl you sniffed saying do you know what everybody is saying about me and you they don't even care I'm sitting right there he looked at his windows when you looked seeing he could see everybody you gasped when he said who said what I'll fire them you wiped your tears saying no I'm sorry but I don't have a shield around me I'm sensitive so I quit
You went to walk away till Orca grabbed you saying Tatakai please don't leave I'm sorry I'll protect you I promise just don't leave you cried saying I can't Orca everybody here hates me you can keep my paycheck but I'm leaving
You sat at home laying in bed thinking of orca he was a big man protecting and maybe sweet even but those people were toxic

He let go saying I'm sorry but I just want you so bad please you're driving me crazy you got off saying maybe you should go
Orca got up I should but can you just tell me you don't feel anything for me please you sighed saying I can't he looked up seeing you looking at the ground he held your hands saying then let me at least show you how much I love you
Orca picked you up laying you on the couch he took off your shorts till you stopped him saying wait no I didn't shave he kissed your thigh whispering I don't care
He looped his fingers around your shorts when you said I smell down there I try fixing it but it doesn't work he inhaled saying I'm a whale I love fish and anything ocean related he pulled off your shorts not listening to you when he dove in eating you out while you squirmed and yelled out
Orca reached up grabbing your hand when you said I can't take anymore please stop Orca please you squirmed one last time till Orca got up laying next to you when you felt his silky hand go up your body you whined saying Orca he curved around your boobs when he pinched your nipples you moaned arching your back
He let go saying I'll be right back you grabbed him saying where are you going I'm sorry I'll be better he rubbed your sensitive clit saying I'm done with you yet darling
Orca washed his mouth coming back seeing you crying he laid next to you saying hey hey it's ok I'm back you looked at him when he noticed your arm moving around he moved the blanket off your knees that were up seeing you thrusting your fingers in your hole he saw you crying from being overwhelmed but you couldn't get your finishing spot
He put in two finger when you cried out saying to big please Orca stop Orca put one finger when you said wait you passed it please go back
Orca dragged his finger back when you said right there please you moved around Orca held you down saying you're gonna make me lose the spot you looked at him saying I'm sorry just please make me cum one more time
Orca rubbed into your spot when you arched your back saying please stop I can't take it it's to much please Orca held you don't and kept going when you started grabbing the couch when you said I think I'm gonna cum
You cum dumped on the couch when you said I never did that before he stroked your face saying good let's get you cleaned up you whined saying I'm to tired to walk he kissed your neck whispering I never said you had to
Orca picked you up putting you in the tub saying what type of water you groaned saying warm a little cold he nodded saying bubbles you nodded
You felt the bubbles around your body when you fell asleep till you heard Orca get up you grabbed out for him saying get in please lay with me you like water right
Orca undressed till he got behind you laying out you turned around looking so fucked drunk you got on his lap laying on his chest when he rubbed your back saying how sensitive are you right now huh
Orca touched down to your clit when you put your hands on his chest crying out when you said no I'm to sensitive Orca stop saying sorry darling I wanted to test if you could handle this Orca put your hand on his cock and let you feel the whole length you gasped saying that would not fit way to big Orca stroked your hair saying it's ok darling go to sleep
Next morning
You woke up in different clothes and alone in your bed you got up saying Orca you checked your phone seeing is was Thursday 3:58 P.M getting up you went to the kitchen grabbing a juice when you heard a knock at the door you walked over you opened the door seeing one of the people from Gangs Orcas agency you looked at him confused when he said fuck you throwing a pie in your face that had lemon in it making your eyes burn

[eng sub] wonwoo esquire korea, sep 2022 – interview
Tumblr media Tumblr media
©wonwoosfeed
Q1. The content “Wonwoo’s diary” on seventeen’s official youtube channel has been a hot topic. I was wondering why there was suddenly a skit unfolding in a set of a countryside, but the more I watched it the more I fell in love with it. I was surprised because everyone acted so well.
WW: When we filmed it, I didn’t know it would get this much attention. In fact I felt doubtful and thought ‘would this be funny?’. I played the role of a novice documentary director who just had to observe other characters but the members felt a lot of pressure to be funny even before filming. But when we actually went into the shoot, everyone was unstoppable (laughs). There were many points to laugh about.
Q2. I heard there wasn’t any script at all.
WW: That’s right. There was only a character and situation set up without a script. The members have a greed to be funny, so even if no one asks them to, they would step up and do gags/comedy with their body. I knew everyone was so talented. I remember laughing throughout the shoot because I was able to see almost every scene in person as I was the role of an observer.
Q3. So far 2 episodes have been uploaded, are there any plans for episode 3?
WW: I played the role of a director in the video, but I wasn’t actually the one who planned it. We’ll be busy with the tour schedule during the second half of this year, so I don’t know if we would have time to. But after saying this, we might suddenly come back with a season 2. There are a lot of funny scenes that weren’t included in the content, and there are still ideas that we haven’t been able to try.
Q4. Aside from your role in <Wonwoo’s Diary>, I heard that you’ve been interested in filming videos for a long time.
WW: There’s a reason for this. Before Covid I often went on world tours but as I was busy traveling between cities then standing on stage, my memories got mixed up and vague. There were a lot of fun and touching moments on stage but it’s a pity to forget them all. So I wanted to keep them by recording them. At first, I filmed a few times for personal use, but as I got interested in it, I started wanting to learn it properly. After that, whenever I saw the video director, I learned editing skills and filming techniques from time to time. I even made a specific plan to film a documentary, but it was halted as external activities had to be greatly reduced due to Covid.
Q5. If you can shoot a video tomorrow without thinking about budget or schedule, what would you like to shoot?
WW: A music video. I want to film it like a short movie with a story. When I was working on the song “Round and Round” from the most recent repackaged album “Sector 17”, I thought “it would be fun to film a music video for this”. Mingyu is also interested in videos like me, so we talked about filming a hip-hop team music video together, but we couldn’t put it into practice.
Q6. Since you have a lot of interest in videos, I think you would like movies as well.
WW: I tend to watch movies regardless of genre, but I especially enjoy movies with a calm atmosphere and good scenery. Such as fluctuating waves and spreading forests, natures images that blend in well with the characters. The last movie I watched was “Decision to Leave” and I really liked it.
Q7. In another interview, you said you liked nature. That if you had time, you want to go to a quiet place and set up a tent and look up at the night sky.
WW: Being in the calm nature makes me feel relaxed. I started as a trainee at the age of 16 and I’ve been active as an idol till now, so I have a craving for freedom. During my debut and now, the reason why I like whales is because of the image of whales freely wandering around the wide sea. I often dream of taking a chance in a mysterious place where the overwhelming nature touches me. For example, imagine what it would be like to go to the deep sea. I guess it’s because I’m a person with a lot of curiosity.
Q8. But it would be hard to always visit such places due to your busy schedule.
WW: That’s true too. So I often watch youtube (videos) about delicious food these days. For example, “how to grill and eat Tomahawk steak deliciously”. I do watch mukbangs too, but I’m more attracted to videos that teach me how to cook than just eating. I haven’t followed and made any yet, but I have a feeling that I’ll try to soon. (Laughs) Or maybe I’ll go personally find it and eat it myself. It was mistakenly known that I have an habit to eat a little rice, but that’s not true. I love to eat.
Q9. Now that I see it, your hands are full of callouses. You must be working hard on weight training.
WW: It’s been about three years since I started. I didn’t start because I wanted to have a nice body, but I wanted to take care of my physical strength and condition. There was a time when I was greedy for weight, but these days, I only do it in a safe weight so that I don’t get hurt. When I overdo it, it hurts around my elbow. The members all like to exercise, so we all help each other work out. Personally, I like bench press the most.
Q10. Do you ever feel that you need some alone time since you’re always with the members?
WW: Of course I could think that sometimes. It’s like there’s a whole family that’s always been together having their own lives. Fortunately, we promised to be considerate of each other’s private life’s from the beginning and we are constantly trying to keep that promise. We’re being considerate to one another. We’ve been together for seven years, so I can feel it just by looking at our eyes. I think it’s important not to cross the line.

Finally saw the season premiere of The Mandalorian.
More first/gut/spoiler reaction thoughts under the cut. I might have more thoughtful thoughts tomorrow (or never) but these are just my initial impressions. My opinions only, don't @ me.
that cannot be how jon dave favloni decided to explain away din's Season 3 goal. YOU DIDN'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT SCENES THEY KNOW NEVER HAPPENED IN SEASON 2?????????????
did no one vet this fucking planet or was the armored gator part of the ritual please someone fucking explain this shit to me like i'm five.
i see them gendered visors and i will never have peace (i understand from a design perspective but it's the 21st century, we should be moving away from this already)
WHERE IS THE "DIN DJARIN GETS A SHARD OF MANDALORE FROM A JAWA" ADVENTURE JON DAVE FAVLONI YOU CAN'T JUST THROW THIS SHIT AT US AND THINK IT'S OKAY
how did the jawa get their hands on it anyway how did it get off mandalore who went to mandalore
i am weak for space whales i am weak for all whales but that's just about it because i never watched Rebels
Nevarro is Disnehyland. Nevarro is Space Renn Faire. Nevarro lost everything that made that city/world so fucking interesting. They fucking gentrified it.
i get genres and i saw a wonderful glimpse of it in the confrontation with the pirates... the pirates fucking ruined the vibes tho. how dare.
actual serious thought: the whole thing with IG-11 is actually fucking grotesque and disgusting and I can't believe Jon Dave Favloni thought this was a good fucking idea. it's so gross. i can't get over it, especially when IG reverted to default programming and went after Grogu like it's Season 1 all over again.
it's fucking gross. it's so gross. what the fuck.
pirate designs were cool. the dialogue was not. who voices that pirate king. i swear i know that VA
Jon Dave Favloni out here fitting 3 whole episodes into 30 fucking minutes by cramming in a short scene with Bo-Katan and explaining why she's sitting around all depressed and alone with a droid standing watch outside
this is not a good look for mandalorians in general. i'm not getting the best impression here. getting strong Monty Python english peasants vibes. they'll follow just about anyone with a crackling black sword.
3 whole episodes into 30 fucking minutes Jon Dave Favloni have you ever heard of pacing. talk to the ghibli people. they know when to let a story take a deep, deep breath.
Episode 2 better slow down a bit and fucking tell a fucking story I swear.
the Volume was really strong in this one. I actually never paid too much attention to what effect Volume was having on these shows but when I started studying the screen caps for my most recent art post, it because pretty obvious what was going on and now I can't fucking unsee this shit
Episode 2 had better be better because omigod I feel like I've been clowned on. how old am i. what the hell even was this episode. who was it made for. what even are the stakes here.
re comparisons to Andor: no, i don't want this show to be exactly like Andor. we don't need every star wars show to be so steeped in politics and social commentary and have such a tense grim tone. what i wish is that every star wars show is handled with the same care and respect Andor's people show both to the star wars and to the fans and watchers. maybe that's why Andor consistently had the smallest audiences but the majority of the tweets, comments, and posts i've seen really appreciated what the show was doing. you can have a fun space western and also have some thoughtful commentary on diaspora and post-war societies! you can eat your cake if you just try!
that's it, that's the first reactions post

good evening ma’am I miss u :(
Tumblr media
and I saw this cute baby duck and I nearly cried because it’s almost too cute and it reminded me of you because you are literally the sweetest and then I remembered that I don’t know what your favorite animal(s) is but I still wanted to send this picture to you and I hope you’re doing amazing and also that your day was nice and that someone reminded you today of how beautiful you are and that I love you to the moon and back
omgggg i LOVE DUCKS SO MUCH. fun fact about me, one of my best friends when i was young, her dad used to grow baby chicks and ducks at his countryside home, but he had incubators in his apartment so i'd always be at her house and watch the eggs grow and then eventually hatch, and we'd play with the baby ducks all the time omggg :(((
i love you so much, mi vida, i almost cried reading your reblog of minm 5 and i can't wait to answer you in excruciating detail soon!!! my favourite animal is actually the blue whale (now you can see why i love twow so much!!) and cats, bc i am basically a cat in human form 🤭
i'm doing alright, my bf came down w covid so i'm probably going to get it too, so i might miss this breast cancer conference i was supposed to go to tomorrow :( but it's fine, what can you do!
how are you??? i missed you today and i want to hear all about your day and YOUR favourite animals xx

CH. 3
Late February, 2005
“Isn’t it a little too cold to go to the beach? I thought American beaches were supposed to be hot.” It was Friday night and you were sleeping over at Melina’s house with Chandler (Alexa was grounded due to her poor grades on a recent progress report) and Melina had one of your hands in hers, painting it a neon green. “We do other things too. The kids in La Push also make bonfires and there’s whale watching too. Just be sure to bundle up.” Now with the whole world knowing where you live, your parents have been getting anxious about you going to places other than school and your friends’ house and they had to find bodyguards. Now, wherever you went they went with you.
“I’ll ask my parents about it tomorrow.” Melina applied a top coat to your neon green nails and when she was done, you expected them. They were far better than they would’ve been if you’d attempted to do it yourself, Melina had a steady hand. After your nails were dry, the three of you ate pizza bites while watching The Princess Diaries which you felt was a little ironic. It was the part of the movie where Mia was receiving her princess lessons when Chandler and Melina turned to you. 
“Is it really like that? Do you really have to sit a certain way?” You chewed on a pizza bite and nodded. “That part’s surprisingly accurate. You have to sit or stand up straight and look interested during formal events at all times because a camera is always on you,” you replied, taking a sip of Sprite. “Is that why you never slouch in your seat?” asked Melina, who pulled her hair into a ponytail. “Yeah. Come to think about it, I’ve never seen you slouch at all.” 
“Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it. Like, I physically can’t bring myself to do it.” Even now, you’re sitting up straight on a blanket in Melina’s living room; old habits die hard. “Do you miss it?” Chandler asked quietly. “Only certain parts. The ones where we actually acted like a family.” You missed Olivia, even though the two of you hadn’t spoken in months and you felt guilty. The stress of keeping the secret of her parents’ crumbling marriage was causing her pain and you were the only one she could talk to; the two of you were born in the same year and the British press loved seeing the two of you together at royal events.
The two of you constantly borrowed from one another’s closets, spent holidays together, sleepovers; now that you’re in America, you wondered how she was coping by herself. The three of you spent the next couple of hours eating more junk food and watching more movies until Chandler fell asleep; she was curled up on the sectional and covered with a lavender blanket, soft snores coming from her corner of the living room. Now it was you and Melina up, and the two of you shared a two liter bottle of soda as the end credits rolled and Melina took the disc out of the DVD player. “No offense or anything but… your family just sucks.” All you could do was just laugh, because it was true.
They do, in fact, suck. For months, they let you and your mother become subjects of horrific abuse in the media, not once coming to your defense. “Believe me, I know. No offense taken, but sometimes it wasn’t all that bad because I had Olivia with me. I thought that whatever we were going through, we’d get through it together. But it looks like I was wrong.” That was the part that hurt the most. A person you considered to be your sister was nowhere to be found when you were going through a PR disaster.
In the thick of it, instead of comforting you, she avoided making eye contact with you at events, and stopped coming by to watch your favorite shows together. Melina wrapped an arm around you and pulled you to her side. “Well, now you don’t need them. You have us now. We’re always gonna be there for you.” You laid your head on her shoulder and smiled, believing her. Things would be better for you and your family; your new friends did more to defend you in the short time you’ve known them than your so-called family who you’ve known for fifteen years.
They made you feel safe. Melina then put on Pretty Woman but the both of you had fallen asleep within the first thirty minutes. Not for the first time since being in Forks, you felt safe, even with all the intrusions from the UK media. You snuggled deeper into your sleeping bag feeling grateful for your new (best) friends.
