Took my sweet ass time but I beat Survive! TWICE! Here to give some onions, spoilers be ahead

But TL:DR; Survive good, you should play it if you haven't already

Also apologies in advance, this is gonna be slightly incomprehensible

So my first playthrough was a Harmonious route (my only survivors were Minoru, Aoi and Saki, I'm still not sure if that could've been better but from what I know it couldn't have been worse) and I then did a NG+ as a Truthful route

I do know there might be some interesting shit on the Moral and Wrathful routes (I literally just had to look up what the fuck is up with Pinocchimon who was just casually namedropped and ended up seeing interesting. Things. In the YouTube reccomendations) but right now, I've played a lot of this game and like, I've kind of had my fill for now? Also TOTK is taunting me and calling my name and I can not wait a second longer to play it so two Survive playthroughs is good for now

But to kind of start off with the negatives I have to say about the game, although there is some replayability to it with the different ending variations and whatnot... I dunno, I feel like Toby Fox has ruined varying paths/endings for me, or like. At least risen the bar so high that it's hard for other games to really compare. Of course, to be fair to Survive, it's a much longer game and the visual style makes a lot of it quite same-y, not to mention being a visual novel the focus of the experience is on the story, not combat or puzzles. And it's also a bigger game, in the sense that it has a large cast with voice acting and being a big-ish budget game, they have a larger interest in making sure they don't waste resources making single-use game assets, etc etc The point being, Survive could never do what UT/DR can with storypaths, so demanding it to pull off the same level of replayability isn't fair to it, let alone compare the games (especially when one is almost like a low-budget anime at times). But I can't help but to do so anyway.

Quick minor complaint; the music is good but the OST feels so small that makes the few songs on it feel super repetetive. Althought it might be just because I played through the game twice in a row

My other main negative about the game is that... You know making sure everyone survives (🥁) the game to the very end is so important to the story and the characters? It's a story about surviving (🥁) after all, making it through all the personal, emotional troubles you might have, not letting your fears and doubts consume you and just surviving the hazardous situation you've found yourself in. And that idea, the wish to make sure EVERYONE makes it through and is saved at the end... it doesn't apply to everyone It applies to the humans, it applies to the Digimon who have human partners and it applies to the part-human antagonist who has caused so much of the pain and suffering everyone is going through.

But it doesn't apply to the Digimon.

Yes I'm biased because That's My Blorbo, but I'm sad that the Digimon antagonists were just left to die without Takuma's helping hand never reaching out for them just makes me sad. Like yes, save the Master, the one who has literally consumed the souls of tens of thousands if not millions of humans and Digimon alike, but the Digimon who were actively trying to prevent the destruction of the world and save everyone, nah, they can just die, we don't need to save them, they don't need to survive. And like obviously what Piemon and his crew were doing was wrong, but they didn't know that. They really thought that offering up humans to the Master would spare their world from destruction, and would do anything to do so. But instead of sparing them and/or trying to reach out to them, they all were just. Left to die. Because they don't matter.

Shoutout to Miyuki for trying to convince Piemon he had been fooled (🥁), you tried girl and I love you for the effort.

(This isn't to say Takuma and co are ~evil~, it's just the double standard that bothers me)

(I will say though that it's really funny to think about Takuma kicking Piemon back into the other world would leave him just dying in some ditch by himself, UNLESS Kaito just HAPPENS to walk by him while being in a particularly bad mood)

(Also it's a shame because if Piemon did survive for a day or two even after returning to the other world (before dying of his injuries, never found by anyone and too depressed/frustrated to do anything anymore), like. He wanted to get revenge on the Master for using him. He came to realize that what Miyuki tried to tell him had beenthe truth. What if the kids had found him. What could've happened? It's not like he would've had the motivation nor power to fight them anymore. Like IDK I feel like there's a timeline where Piemon marches into the final battle with his remaining goonies (who are still loyal to him mind you, and fear him) like fucking Aragorn with the army of the dead, trying to hold back the Kenzoku so the kids can go ahead)

Sidenote this is the funniest fucking part in the whole game

UNHINGED, ABSOLUTELY FERAL

BUT POSITIVES!

Literally everything else.

I don't know what to point out exactly because it's all very good. The story was fun (very fun to see the Adventure story like re-explored from this angle), I love the cast so much, the gameplay mechanics were fun, it's just a good game man.

Like it could've been better, but the way it is? It's a fine experience, and if you like me are yearning for more Digimon anime after Ghost Game left a void in all our hearts, well, this isn't quite that, but it's pretty damn close

It's a bloody good game

I fucking love Versailles no Bara

I make my comeback on tumblr just to say how fucking much I love this anime. It actually belongs to my childhood but only recently I’ve made a serious rewatch/first watch and I was left shocked because it’s so.freaking.deep. I’m just gonna talk and maybe meta (kinda?) randomly. [I didn’t read the manga besides some final chapters] I fell in love with Oscar x André: childhood friends to lovers, a love story that was born in tragedy and could only end in tragedy. It blows up my mind that these two have been together but not really together for a whole lifetime. They rely on each other, they trust each other, the bond they share is way too deep to just fall apart even if their hearts and lives just run differently: she’s a noble and he’s not, she was raised as a boy, he has always loved her and she fell in love with Fersen, blindness and tuberculosis as the cherry on top. It took French to start the Revolution for them to be finally together, lmao, and it makes sense! Oscar and André are the embodiment of the French Revolution to me. He goes up against her father, his master, she says fuck off to nobility and her rank in order to follow her ideals... they overcome all of it, always together, just as it all started. About the Fersen thing, I’d like to add that I do strongly believe Oscar fell in love with Fersen’s way of loving Marie Antoinette, she didn’t really love ‘count Fersen’... like, yes but also not. Fersen saw a human in Marie Antoniette, not a queen, not a royal: he loved her for who she is... Marie Antoinette, the girl he loves. I got the feeling this is exactly what Oscar liked about Fersen. Not a man, not a woman, not a mademoiselle and not a commander: maybe she was just looking for this for herself, not knowing that her most trusted person in the world, her bestfriend, was exactly doing that. It’s the beauty of it all, even if tragic. Actually tragedy hit me so hard that I still need time to process, lol. This anime seriously has a lot of dramatic scenes, not talking about Oscar and Andre’s deaths only obviously... Marie Antoinette is a good character too, althought I got a lil bit bored when she was the focus; history is history, but she’s written in a way you cannot help but emphatise with her at some point, at the very start especially. I love the way the parallelism between MA and Oscar was developed through the whole story. Such a good watch overall. I’d like to rewatch it in japanese sometimes but I’m way too attached to the italian voices of my childhood... anyway I’m so glad I finally found a new anime and characters to love after so much time. Cannot wait to start coloring some manga panels from VnB!

How i meet your mother and the story of how Arya Maxson was concieved - Chapter 19

Im better than last time I wrote the last chapter

If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn’t write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don’t finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and comments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive comments of wanting to know what happens next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic

As far he knew only traveling in the train tunel to Pittsburg its a 3 days ride. This was fucking stupid, unnecessary, but know understand why she said he would radio him.

And 10 days later he received a radio message, of course, from Paladin Danse, obviously. He was getting tired of it, tired of Danse around them but it wasn’t the man fault entirely, it was Noras fault for not pushing him off either, of course she didn’t want to push him out.

He was asking him to come over, and of course in the same moment Nora leave he was already packing in case she called…and all his work was worth it because she called, and now he only had his bag with clothes and some supplies for his pregnant woman prepared and ready to leave.

Arthur leave the Citadel like he never did in years in company of five of his best paladins to watch his back. Pittsburg was a dangerous place after all, althought Nora once told him that the entrance and the path from the train tunel to the forge was cleaned and secured for several reasons like the wellbeing of her workers and providers but anyway he didn’t trust, and he feared for her.

There was already people waiting for them to arrive at the train stop, apparently it was an studied circuit that doesn’t have any variation so the speed should be always the same from DC to the Pitt and from the Pitt to DC back again if they didn’t meet any monsters in the way of course, she at least hoped for him to arrive that day, that’s for sure, which implies that at receiving her message he would run behind her heels, and he did god dammit.

-We are responding to the radio message of Paladin Danse -said one of his escorts, today he was not dressed as usual, today, unlike what she always told him, he was more incognito, he was different, like another soldier since it was an unknown territory and it did not seem convenient to go around showing off his person. That way, he was valuable and he knew it. Anyway if he was surrounded by 5 paladins he was obviously someone important. Also she said something about not being sentinel anymore and things should not be so brotherhood centered or something like that

They made them wait at the train station for about an hour until another troupe of brutes came walking towards them, all dressed like raiders, with bared best and spike armors, the only reason the brotherhood squad wasn’t shooting at them it was because they were chill and non aggressive, and because Nora kinda talked about him how the things were at the mill her place, so he learn something and wont be doing stupid to compromise her nono, his classism can wait a bit longer, at least until he was in front of her to reclaim stuff.

One of the raiders stand in front of them with a different port from the other weirdos, different way of standing or holding his rifle, a totally different aura…and when the man dressed in Raider blastmaster armor stranding with port and class took off his Makeshift gas mask every one was hella surprised, another of his escorts talk

-Paladin Danse!? –the escort talk, the man just nodded with a serious and authoritative countenance.

-Theres nothing to fear I assure to you all, its us under the command of Nora

-Why are you dressing like that? –ask another guard, Arthur didn’t want to talk, his paladins can manage the situation just fine.

-Oh once we reach the mill you will understand, a power armor its not exactly a good fit for that place –wait…what was Nora wearing then?

-Is it safe here?

-In the places we have control yes, that’s why we don’t fear to go around with almost no armor –wow seeing him without armor clothing was really a novelty, rare to see- come with us, we already prepared a room for you all to rest

They all walked together to the forge, Danse's small group of raiders and Arthur's escort. He really understood what the paladin told them when they saw that the sky was set on fire and the flames were burning the clouds, coming out of the chimneys like someone using a flamethrower, it was like a giant flamethrower on a large scale. And it was beautiful, scary, imposing, and very impressive. Very very impressive.

Nora bought this, this was hers, she owned hell in earth. She's A Demon, She's A Devil, she is a catch! Feeling the rain of fire almost practically fall on his body from the sky when it burns the clouds makes him worry for Noras well being here.

In this heat, his daughter must be cooking like a roast chicken in an oven in his woman's womb. Gosh they were cooking inside the power armors, he understand Danse a lot now! really a lot! It was unbereable to keep on! He felt trapped inside, like wanting to tear his skin off his muscles, jump out from the power armor, the more they walked the worse those urges grow! He never felt like this with a power armor, what is this feeling!?

-In the name of everyone on this troop we aren’t doing well –said one of the brotherhood soldiers and thank god he said it first, no one should normally talk about another brother but dear god this was difficult!

He did practices and works in field in cold environments, never hot environments, and less this hot. There was adapted power armors suited for alternative temperatures and environments but shit he never encounter something like this before. Nudity was something rare for him to see since the wastelands were so dangerous to go around in skin, a fucking mosquito can suck the blood out of you, a radroach can give you a big bite, a molerat can jump from the ground and try to eat your face, only degenerates like raiders do such stupid things

But damn it was difficult to walk or even exist inside the armor, he felt his lungs fighting to work with more air. Was he out of shape? Does he need more power armor training? In different enviroments at least…

Why was he doing this again?

The other soldiers walked among him and damn they were suffering as much, his correct mind will think in punish Danse for not wearing uniform and stain the name with the brotherhood with those filthy robes but he understand the man so much. Also he remember the day he got into the ventibird with Nora and the initiates.

She is not a butthurt, wont snitch on anybody for not wearing uniform correctly. I guess Danse get passes on that because she was a sentinel before.

What are they now? Coworkers no…friends for sure…he said she is like his sister, family. If he wasn’t anything from her he wouldn’t came to this hell by his own…

-We have already a room cold tempered for you guys, open windows and operating fans, some bulks to rest and spend the night, a fridge, a bathroom with showers and hygiene products, a power armor station and some chests to leave your personal stuff under lock –wow she always organize such accomodations for brotherhood soldiers in everyplace she goes, heard about that once, she call it guest room, odd, guess she take some advices from Danse

The inside of the forge wasn’t like anything he had see before, and it was weird, why he never come to this place to check out? Nora take the forge a few years ago with the brotherhood, it was so strange that nobody asked him to supervise the operation in which the brotherhood and its resources take part of…but the place was almost magical, a show of strength and human effort in so many aspects. The people working with all their strength, the knowleage put into protection and security to protect the workers hard labor and integrity in such a hard and exhausting enviroment, surely Nora ideas from the old world because he hadn’t see nothing like that before, the organization of the ways, walks, supervisors, proctors, indications, signalization, the smells of melting metal, burning charcoal, sparkles of fire and magma flying around in the air as particles…he swallowed saliva and for some reason felt a heavy presion in the chest

The entire process was…mesmerizing to see and take part of, maybe not working because it was exhausting and very physically demanding for what he can see but just being able to move his head around while being scorted was such a luxury.

There was fire in the air, his eyes burned and he needed to close a bit his lids to see better the process in which they recycled metals to burn and melt them inside a very hot furnace inside trays of god knows what type of material, taking the processed product out as melted shiny metal liquid on top of a showel out to move it to some molds, different kinds of molds, different stuff, different uses, some liquids had a different shine or colour and they go to different molds, he supposed some were bullets, another guns, another seems to be by the size armors, like, metal armors, some pieces even for power armors, and some other were very very small, didn’t actually see what they were because there was a red fog in the air clouding his vision.

Danse was scorting him, particulary him, to Noras quarters, how the hell does she lives in this hell? Not live full time but it was kinda enough to stay here for a few days…and the man at his side seem just fine with it, I mean, sweating a lot, out of uniform like he wasn’t used to see him but he doesn’t have a problem to accompany her to hell itself.

If something happened to her, he surely would commit suicide to walk together to hell just like now.

It wasn’t an easy way, of course not, neither perfect, more precarious when you stop being amazed and start seeing things clearly. The floors were broken and sagging with large cracks so the workers although they had very heavy and big boots walk looking to the front and ground, trying to not burn someone to death with melted metal and also watch for their steps to not fall and broke their noses to the ground. Even for Arthur it was kinda difficult to walk with the big power armor feets.

Also there was a huge hole in the ground with bars too, strange.

Once they surpassed the factory they walked to a place Danse called Haven…and of course such a place will be Noras quarters and residence, the only fucking reason she choose the Tenpeny tower over this place surely is the weather around, and maybe the possibility of cancer of course but godamn wasn’t this part of her refined tastes?

There was also something kind of surprising, the old statue of a slave with chains near to fire exits, which he heard of in reports but actually never see in person since he never came to this place now had another sculpture from the same materials and in the same style, the other sculpture was breaking his chains with an axe.

I mean it wasn’t perfect, and it was pretty difficult to see but you can get the general idea knowing the context of the place.

Tho it obviously wasn’t Nora idea of course, this place has much history than only her.

That’s right, he shouldn’t think so high of her, he shouldn’t be that surprised, she isn’t perfect, she isn’t a goddess, she shouldn’t be that big of a deal to him, to not hurt himself, that’s right.

The inside of the building was nice, nicer than most buildings but its not like they were teleporting outside of the wastelands some collapse here and there, some stairs in poor condition, a hole in the ceiling, fallen plaster, lots of debris... typical, the only really really dangerous thing was a column supported by scaffolding but meh normal, of course it compromises the structure and integrity of the building but nothing he hadn’t see before.

Danse abruptly stop in front of a door, a door that was guarded by two people who may seem like your typical raiders for how they were dressing but their gazes were more soft, chill, relaxed, surely now they were living the vida loca not fighting everyday to have 3 meals, away from the trog menace, which lower risks of getting sick now, with a roof over their heads to sleep almost comfortable every night...surviving but for good surely, wasn’t that bad.

His paladin open the door a bit with the handle and Arthur understood, he get in front of the opening and quickly get inside as the other man open and shut the door behind him.

There was a breeze running in that room, as every window was open wide but quickly his eyes find what he was looking for.

Well wasn’t this a hot view? More than hot, almost umbereable, damn now he wanted to take the power armor appart from his body!

Nora was laying on a sofa looking at him dressed in a Country girl outfit, her big belly exposed and surely breathing even if he can swear her white skin will be burning under his hand if he posed.

-Welcome –she said with a muffled voice.

A sharp pain hit the back of his mind, he crossed his eyebrows worried as instincly coming out from his power armor, like there was no danger around, around her he should be fine, his body needed to feel safe to take out the damn armor that was right now a furnace

-Its something wrong? –he ask coming out and getting comfortable, oh my god that was necessary, its like a big cloud of hot air sluddenly leave his entire body.

-Im just down from the temperature, that’s all –she said as he take off desesperatly even his black suit goddamnit-I have some clothes for you, I was waiting.

-Not dressing like raider scum even inside here –he said firmly.

-Okay –she mumble smiling- I also have some shorts and shirt…

-Right now short is enough –he heard her laugh in the distance.

Once he was dressed with the clothes she leave in top of the table the first thing he did was place a hand on top of her forehead, checking while she was laying.

-You can also bathe but im afraid we don’t have hot water here…-she said with a defying smile, Arthur pick up her cheeks with a hand and moved her face around playing, laughing.

-Alright, give me five –Arthur sat on the ground next to the couch to not bother, and also, the ceramic was a bit more fresh than the leather couch- Are you alright?

She nodded- Its not easy on this body, but im at least taking care of what I needed, people I needed to see personally to make them understand shit

-You don’t intimidate me with that big thing –he said laughing.

-Not me, but maybe my guards

-Oh yeah the big bulk guy with the scar in the eye, you know the one with the three sunburns dots…-Nora look at him for a moment and then laugh- big arms and pects.

-I don’t think so, the fact that he is so hairy makes him look like a teddy bear

He imagined Danse as a teddy bear, yeah, maybe, he can see it.

-Why did you call me here? I received his message but not yours, didn’t say much

And frankly, he couldn’t help much if she had some pain or infirmity, that’s the simple true, sure, he can be at her side but it wasn’t actually urgent for him to be here.

-What? Its it really that bad here? –the man stood in silence, so she understand the hint- i…i…-she swallowed, it wasn’t something actually easy to say, less to rationalize, it was stupid and it will sound stupid, selfish, a waste of resources because she had cravings-I wanted to see you

The man raised an eyebrow and look at her, a mean comment resonated in his mind like an impulse, a flashback from so not long ago- really?

That felt like a kick in the lower stomach for Nora-also Arya started moving when I ask for that message so…-instinctively like nothing else matters his hand moved to her belly, it was nonsense but he hoped to felt something, her hot palm posed on top of his carefully moving it around

-Right now was specially quiet because im not active but…-it just felt right for her just guiding his hand around, he had the right tho, he was the dad of their daughter, and he really seemed to want to stay around-hold on-gosh the look on his eyes, he was so focused on her belly, he has love puppy eyes-I felt something

It surprised Arthur even if she announced it, he felt a pressure on his palm, coming from her skin, a buldge hitting there, Nora see the change on his eyes and leave his hand alone to move around so it wasn’t a trick or she wasn’t modifying anything, he can live the experience his own and damn this was the second time she experienced it with a man at her side, it was magical everysingle time doesn’t matter it it was the old world or now. Sure it take her by surprise when she was alone a few days ago but she knew the first thing she had to do was contact Arthur, it was a promise and it felt wrong to not have the man at his side

-It is her? –she nodded.

-Of course silly- who else who it be?- I didn’t just swallow a molerat!

A second hand place around as the other moved, looking for more kicks-it gets more strong like this?

-I didn’t want to touch it much–she responded and the man look at her confused- it’s a thing we should do together

That was odd-Well –he cought a bit getting closer, placing his cheek on a side of her belly, still touching-you should wait on the citadel with me until she started to kick, to have our first time together-Nora laughed, what about first times? Her cheeks blushed, they weren’t on that level…or did they? Did he want to be on that level? Maybe…but what about her? Did she want?-It turned worse than this? –he knew it could be kinda painful more than just surprising, gosh he lost his breath and cant get it back even now, the feeling on his palm robbed something out of him, didn’t know if it was his reason or his heart.

-Sometimes, not much tho, she still needs to grow much more

There was a fog in the mans brain, like he cant focus his thoughts, his hand moved by its own searching for the next kick all around Noras belly, never actually see it that big until now. All his life he knew this moment will occur, he had this visions or images of the life around his heir but there she was now in reality, the real Maxson heir, Arya, underneath his hand, and he didn’t knew if he ever felt so much emotion for something that was kinda like a promise, Nora make him a promise to give him a child, that child wasn’t on his hands…until now…and damn he was so emotional about it.

Another kick in his hand make him jump a bit, scaring Nora in the process.

-Its so hot in here but it was worth the trip –he said smiling at her, he seemed at peace, eased, and Nora liked to cause that even if it was a primitive feeling because he was her partner and kinda have this connection because of their daughter right now, she wasn’t razionaliting things well, but the feelings were nice, a nice change of all the rush you can feel in the wastelands

-Im happy you are here- and he came as fast as it was possible by the time she ask for the message also. Arthur raised a bit his head and look into her eyes, that was odd from her part.

In some moments he wanted to believe, to enjoy this moments without thinking much, to actually felt loved back but no. This was her pregnant brain talking, the hormones, this wasn’t her. She loved Danse. And himself as a man of reason, he thinks enough and understand that she will forever love the paladin, what ever comes from her mouth is meaningless, he shouldn’t take her feelings seriously.

No matter how charming she is, or how much he wish a woman like her to actually love him back, she will not be the one. He was getting used to the idea of also reject her feelings, for his own sake, to not hurt his heart with dumb illusions she cant keep up because the paladin crave deep into her heart without wanting it.

He will rationalize this, be smart, not trust and don’t let himself get carried in feelings that will only crush his heart apart.

Nora will be the mother of his childrens, that’s all, as she will always love Danse.

It will be hard to carry on as they had a very good relationship and he actually wished a woman like her…but not her, he learned enough about it, after all the paladin is around them even in this hell The Pitt is.

youtube

So apparently, as i saw by reading the comments, this is a traditional way to wash clothes, esp if poor or otherwise without a washing machine. I love reading the living history and memory of ppl who used this technique to wash their clothes by hand or with vintage washers. These were some of my fave comments:

I know my mom and her mom grew up poor so I'll ask them if they ever had to do these techniques before to launder. Maybe theres living history in my family of this trafitional form of washing.

I found this video after looking up videos for homemade laundry detergent and to physically see what most websites said about putting baking soda "into the drum". I def admire it bc its a black woman w a humble channel about life hacks that anyone could use (tho its obviously focused on marriage and motherhood). I also like how this video shows the process of this proceedure, gives recipes, tips and reactions, and opens a convo about a trending topic (which is basically just a whole generation of ppl discovering old wisdom).

Eventually I want to start using this method with my tub, particularly for my clothes that are musty and stained from work. Also my laundry thats been sitting for a while sonce executive dysfunction can make it hard to get to laundry in a decent time (though when I get energy to do tasks I ride that wave till the end lol).

I rlly like that theres an entire process to this way of laundering. Althought its arduous, compared to just dumping clothes in the washer and forgetting about everything else after pressing buttons, it helps to curate a sense of science behind each laundering process (including ways to use different laundry settings) and honors traditional[ly feminine] wisdom. It also provides an alternative, effective washing method for when a washer breaks, which is bound to happen at least once (hasnt happened to me yet, but now i can be somewhat reassured that i wont be doomed without clean laundry if that happens). Furthermore this method helps develop a consumer consciousness by using simple, inexpensive, traditional ingredients and methods which are better for the environment and provide a full body experience to the laundering process.

Anyway! Op of the video says she uses ECOS detergent for her laundry and provided a recipe in the comments for her laundry process. Ill def look into how she does it and update this post witb her recipe and my own reactions with my attempt to use baking soda and detergent together! Eventually I'll report on my experience w this traditional process of laundering or "stripping" as it was called in the video.

DO YOU WRITE MCYT FIC?

DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE PROMOTING YOUR OWN WRITING?

DO YOU HAVE ONE FIC YOU’VE READ THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ?

WELL HAVE I GOT THE EVENT FOR YOU!

hi my name’s mikey, you may have seen me around but im here in your screen rn to tell you about MIKEY’S 1 YEAR FIC REC EXCHANGE 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO! (no i will not change the name).

as of january 24th 2022, it will have been an entire year since I posted my first mcyt fic! absolutely bonkers!! i did an exchange like this back in 2020 for a different fandom, and i thought “hey, that went well last time. lets do it again!”

This exchange is for anyone who writes any sort of mcyt fic, as I know fic on tumblr often gets buried. under the cut you can read the rules, but here’s the tl:dr-

send me 2 fics/series’: 1 that you have written and 1 that someone else has written. i will be creating a moodboard and a rec post for every. single. submission.

if you wish to take part, please reblog this post so that i know people are interested. even if you dont want to take part, it would be nice if you could reblog this post anyway, so more people can see it.

did that catch your interest? well here’s the full in-depth rules!!

HOW TO SUBMIT

send me the link/name + author of 1 fic/series that you have written that you are most proud of. this can be sent via an ask, a submission, or a dm. if you work via a sideblog or wish for me to tag a seperate blog, then give me that url too.

then, send me the link/name + author of 1 fic/series that you have read and you think everyone should read. if the author has a tumblr linked in an obvious place, then i will tag them in the post.

you have until the 10th of january 2022 to send in your submissions.

GUIDELINES

1) while i am mainly a hermitcraft/empires smp focused blog, you can submit a work for any fandom, as long as it is mcyt! (althought i request that rpf is avoided. i know ao3′s tagging is a mess, but i trust your judgement.)

2) any genre, warnings, or rating is allowed. on the posts i make for each submission, each fic will be fully labelled with everyone you’d see on ao3. for tumblr fics, i will make my own judgement.

3) no reader insert. i will allow oc’s, but reader insert is a huge personal squick for me. just a personal preference.

4) fics must be available to read on ao3 or tumblr! i don’t get along with wattpad at all.

5) if you are the co-writer of a fic, you can count that as one of your own, or agree to a shared submission with your co-writer(s).

6) please keep in mind that i have to read every. single. one. of these fics. that’s not to say i am putting a limit on word count, but understand that if the fic is very long then i may only skim read it to get the general vibes.

7) likewise, please try to choose fics that have fairly obvious themes. at the end of the day, moodboards are pictures, and its very difficult to find 9 images to represent 500 words of domestic fluff.

8) unfinished fics are allowed!! just be aware that if the fic is still in progress then the vibes might change. i am only human. i cant see the future.

9) anonymous submissions are allowed! if you post anonymously on ao3 and wish to remain anonymous, then pls submit your works via an anonymous ask (with an identifying emoji/name if possible). alternatively, you can dm me and state that you wish to remain anonymous. i am just a stranger on the internet, but i promise i wont tell.

10) if a fic has any fanart with it that isn’t linked obviously in the notes somewhere then please send that too. if not, i will be using either just images of the minecraft skins for the moodboards, or any art that i myself have drawn that i feel fits.

PRIZE

(okay, it’s not a competition, but prize makes it sound more exciting)

each fic will get a rec post, featuring a moodboard made specifically for the fic. it’s obviously not mandatory, but if you take part in the exchange then it would be nice to not only rb your own moodboards, but some of the others as well. after all, this exchange is about promoting people’s hard work!

DEADLINE

moodboards will begin posting on the 24th of january. submissions will close on the 10th of january, as that gives me time to make sure everything is finished.

please remember that i am only one guy, and a college student at that. i have a life outside of the internet and am, ultimetely, doing this for fun!

EXTRA

final moodboards, as well as any additional information will be posted under the #fr echange 2022 tag. the last time i did this was for bandom fics, but if you want to check out some examples then you can find those in the #fr exchange 2020 tag

#mcyt #hermitcraft #dsmp #empires smp #3rd life #last life #evo smp #legacy smp #x life smp #fr exchange 2022

I would be interested in your whole opinion about the Hyuga! This entire plot felt weird from the start tbh. Unpopular opinion but I hated naruto's speech to neji in their fight. I am probably biased but it felt so much as if it was victim blaming neji for being angry about his condition while hinata was praised for doing nothing and being passive.

honestly i feel like i should re-read to give u a complete honest opinion because like u said the whole thing is weird and a whole mess also its been long since i have given too much thought to it. but from the beginning i always felt the whole huuya clan issue was put there intentionally by kishimoto to show how bad the current system was and how it was gonna be one of the things to be fixed but then again like the many other important plotpoints and the whole message the story was giving is completely dropped to make that shitty ending and sequel happen.

ah the whole neji vs naruto fight is kinda annoying to me because kishimoto was obviously trying to make a point w the whole "talent vs hardwork" which he couldve done without using neji's slavery issue and just use another example. but i dont think naruto is victim blaming neji, althought i dont like how its just explained the whole fight is neji trying to say how people are ruled by their destiny that cant be escaped or changed and naruto being against this ideology which isnt wrong of him.

but yeah i wish this fight had gone different, especially because despite naruto being right about how just because youre born like smth doesn't mean you cant become smth else, i dont like naruto speaking on the whole hyuuga problem when he really doesnt get it (thankfully he acknowledges he doesn't completely understand it but still) because its not his reality. also how this whole fight served nothing when neji got that ending.

DWJ Reading Project. Part III

As I said here, my 2021 2023 resolution is gonna be READING EVERY DIANA WYNNE JONES BOOK I CAN FIND, and due to my love of making lists and taking notes, I’ve decided keeping track of this reading project here in this post, which I’ll keep updated as I make progress. It’s mostly for my own pleasure, but maybe it helps someone who wants to give it a try to this amazing writer and doesn’t know where to start.

Part I (1970 - 1976 & The Dalemark Quartet)

Part II (1977 - 1981 & The Chrestomanci Series )

- Archer’s Goon (1984): At this point it’s just ridiculous how these books keep being surprising and leaving me all wtf (in a good sense). This one is, again, about a family with very realistic dynamics who have to deal with some surreal fuckery. In this case, they live in a town ruled from the shadows by seven brothers and sisters, each of one farming a different aspect of the town (energy, police, crime, education, sewage... etc). I couldn’t explain the plot if my life depended on it, but I enjoyed every single page. ALSO, there’s a TV adaptation, althought it doesn’t seem very faithful***

***Edit: I’ve watched the whole thing now and I stand corrected: It’s actually quite faithful. Some characters are not how I imagined them, but they did mostly a good job, and I’m obsessed with Dillian’s dress

- Fire and Hemlock (1985): Well, I finished it yesterday and I’m still processing it. What a ride. I felt I missed a lot of subtext by not knowing the stories it’s inspired by, so I’m totally re-reading it in the future, after I’ve checked those up. About the parts I did get, it’s just WOW. Polly in all her complexity is just amazing. I love that the premise seems to be a feminist revision of a tale of clingy love, and I love how all along the book you can see different examples of shitty stuff women have to put up with (grown ups sexualizing underage girls, boys mansplaining shit and being a pain in the ass until the girl they’re after gets so tired she gives up, slut shaming between girls, whatever is going on with Ivy’s mental health, THE FUCKING GROOMING –really, this made me so unconfortable from the very beginning). Of course I don’t think this is the main theme of the book, but I do believe DWJ wasn’t random about anything. There’s so much going on in my mind I don’t really know what else to say.

- Land of Ingary Series: · Howl’s Moving Castle (1986): This is 8th time I read this book (the 4th in English. It was actually my first book in English). It's my favourite book in the world and I could write a whole essay about how much I love it and how good it is for my mental and emotional balance, so I’ll just mention a few thoughts to keep this short: 1) I relate to Howl much more than I’d like to admit. 2) Sophie taught me to use aggresive cleaning to cope with anxiety. 3) Also, I would kill for powers like hers. 4) I actually relate to all of them, bunch of human messes. Diana predicted the millennials. 5) I can’t believe it took me this long to really understand [Calcifer spoilery stuff]. 6) Now that I’m more familiar with DJW usual tone and themes, I have to asume she wrote this lighthearted (pun intended) and fun story to relax a little bit after the previous 3-4 books, and that makes me love it even more. 7) I should read Stardust.

· Castle in the Air (1990): I’ve also read this one several times, and there’s a lot to love in it. Most of the new characters are amazing and the plot is quite a ride (and if you’re into The Arabian Nights, you’ll probably love this). I even stole some traits from Abdullah for one of my OC. But I must admit it didn’t age well, or at least there are some aspects I like less every time I read it, mostly regarding the female characters and what is said about their looks and beauty. I also felt Sophie was a little bit out of character, but obviously she’s going through STUFF so I’d rather not to judge. In any case, it’s a nice story and it’s not its fault not being as perfect as the absolute masterpiece that was HMC

· House of Many Ways (2008): The first time I read this one it was months before DWJ died, and since I hadn’t like that much and it made me really sad to know it would be the last book of this series, I used to feel a weird resentment against it all these years. This new re-read helped me to reconcile with it and actually enjoy it a lot. Maybe back then I was too similar to Charmain and I felt attacked or something, idk, but I’ve definitely learnt to love useless idiots who have no clue about anything going on in their lifes and it’s almost a miracle they’re still alive. And the fact that a huge % of the book it’s just her and Peter doing house chores? Hilarious. Also, I have the impression that DWJ was so tired of people fancying Howl that this time she did her best to show us how fucking annoying he can be.

- A Tale of Time City (1987): This was the first DWJ book I read after a long hiatus and I must confess it took me several months to finish it, which was surprising because I had missed Diana a lot and time travel is one of my favourite things in literature. Maybe the hype was too high, but it just didn’t hook me at first. It gets better once the worldbuilding is settled and the plot can fly free, and I did enjoy a lot of silly scenes that only provide vibe, like the main character laughing her ass off during the chaotic morning routine in the house. I also appreciate the racial diversity, and the comeback of the Surprise Evil Uncle (tm), a DWJ classic. And I do want one of those butter-pies now. - Wild Robert (1989): Heather is a girl who lives in a castle-museum because her parents are the curators there. She hates tourists so I could relate to her from the very beginning. She hates them so much she accidentally wakes up a 350 yo wizard from his grave so he gets rid of them. The story is so short that it almost feels as pilot for a show, like, you want to keep seeing Heather and Robert getting into trouble and stuff. It would have made a nice series of children’s books.

- Black Maria (also known as Aunt Maria, 1991): The timing for this one was weirdly good because: a) I had to move in with my old aunt for a few days to help her while she recovers after a surgery (which is basically the starting point for Mig, the mc of the story, and her family), b) the book has several mysteries, including a crime one (my aunt forced me to watch hours of police procedural shows), the town where Mig's aunt lives has a extreme matriarchal social structure, where women are on the top, and men are just Ken, and the main conflict surrounds this (I started reading the book around the time Barbie premiered). I don’t normally like the first-person narrative, but DWJ managed to do it, once again, in a rather clever way that fits the story quite right and made me like Mig a lot. Also, it was nice to see that the adult relative is actually helpful and good, instead of the classic neglectul piece of shit that she so often includes.

okay so i recently watched the metal family (the english dub) on youtube and i sent my friend a ton of information on it - my thoughts, my theories, etc, and then i thought of a sanders sides related universe for it

technically some things differ, as in the part i wrote glam and chive (who ive assigned to logan and remus) eventually end up together, but whatever

and, because im a whore for attention im going to post here exactly what i rambled about because i was spilling out thoughts that just made my heart beat faster. so basically, the metal family: sanders sides edition

spoilers for the metal family.

basically i was thinking of logan and remus basically as these two characters, with logan as glam/sebastian and remus as chive, and logans parents putting a lot of pressure on him as their only child, and his dad is suffering abuse to so he cant even stick up for logan, and when he does bad he has to put out his arm and roll his sleeve up and his moms hits it repeatedly, and in the show glam doesnt react until he showers bc thats when it stings (until a certain scene where glams dad slaps it so hard he fucking bleeds a lot and starts sobbing and its like part of when he snapped) but thats probably what he does, and obviously the butler also gets mad and snaps on him a lot too, but when he goes to that music exam and gets second place to remus (who he met briefly on the way to the music exam - youll understand this more if you end up watching the series), hes shocked, and as remus walks him home he explains what he did on the guitar, and gives him the bach vinyl and logan squints but takes it anyway, and when he announces he got second he gets scolded, they mock him for who he lost too, and the back vinyl is taken by his mother, hes scolded for thinking he could ever be on par (logan plays the violen btw - he entered the music exam with a violen and its what his mouther abuses him for when he plays wrong or doesnt answer right/right away to note related questions) with bach, and then hes hit with the ruler and sent back to his room, where he plays the bach vinyl thinking it will be bach but then its metal and it sort of awakens something in logan and he sort of snaps

when he runs into remus again remus offers to teach him, steals an amp and guitar from the observatory, and then when he goes home then this is where hes hit until his forearm is literally dripping with blood and hes sobbing, but sort of that unhinged sort of sobbing where hes like :) while sobbing and bleeding, and his mom is saying hes no longer allowed to take walks because he was late, went through the park, ran in a suit, etc, and how logan will be studying with her daily from now on, and through gritted teeth, a sob, and a smile, as he clutches his bloody wrist hes like "yes mother, ill study under you every day. every day. every day." and he and remus had luckily agreed already to meet by the dumpster at midnight, and thats what they start doing

remus teaches him how to play, and logan literally gets no fucking sleep and becomes more and more sleep deprived as hes taught more and more and it makes him more and more manic and unhinged, and he has periods where he fucking snaps and can play the bass super well because hes fueling his anger and his trauma into how aggressively he plays and is actually super good, and eventually he and remus get a gig with these two other bandmates

and that happens to be the day that the way he hides his diary (where he gets out his murderous thoughts over his father, writes about lying to him, and writes down notes for music he wants to make) and his model of the city (which hed spent a lot of time on and cared about a lot and made out of every day things like lightbulbs and pencil shavers and had to keep hidden) were revealed and his mother found them, and she threw it into the trash where logan saw it crumbled as he walked home in the rain, and while his mother is aggressively shouting at him she says something along the lines of "who are you going to choose. your family, or some vagrants!?" and logan sort of snaps, goes wide eyed, and walks the other way, despite the fact its rianing and his mother demands him to come back, and then starst screaming about how if he ever comes back to the door hell never be allowed back inside, and thats where that episode ends

and basically i was thinking that logan leaves, and sort of walks around in his suit with his violen for a while, before he goes back to the alley where he hides his guitar that remus stole for him and his punk clothes, and he grabs them both and sort of mindlessly wanders until he ends up back in front of remuss trailer

when logan shows up remus doesnt realize until he opens the door of his trailer and prepares to leave and logans just standing there staring, utterly soaked, and he craves his neck up when remus walks out and remus is like "holy shit dude, you scared me. its not even midnight here. how long have you been here?" and logan doesnt answer, and hess not used to tocuhing people or being touched gently, but he sort of falls into remus, and collapses against him, and he starts sobbing because he just lost his family, and he left his dad all alone, but ehs finally free from the abuse, and hes so tired and so confused and hes never felt so unsure of his next move but remus just pulls him inside, brings his stuff inside, they step over his sleeping and drunk parent, and remus takes logan to his room (possibly the one he shares with roman ?) and basically just hugs logan as he sobs and cries and eventually passes out against him because hes literally so fucking sleep deprived, and remus takes liberty to change logan out of his sopping wet clothes, but then both of logans arms are covered in scars, some of them still scabbed, and remus is immediately concerned but he decides hell ask about it when logan wakes up, and basically ust goes out and shoplifts some food or steals from his parent to buy shit, and when logan wakes up hes given low quality food that he accepts gratefully, apologizes for showing up unceremoniously and being so informal, but remus just hesitantly wraps an arm around him, and logan accepts it, and remus says its fine while cuddling with him and then again hesitantly asks what happened

and logan sort of goes silent and doesnt talk about it, but clears his throat and asks if its okay he stays here, and theres already three people living in this trailer so he feels bad for asking, but remus just pulls him closer and is like "yeah man! of course you can stay!" because obviously hes not going to tell logan no after what he just pulled, so he lets logan stay, and remus and roman bicker for it a bit when logan uses their small ass bathroom to shower, and by the end remus has basically bribed roman into going along with it

and logan has to adjust to not being a wealthy - althought not spoiled - person anymore, and sometimes he reacts to things on instinct. he breaks something and remus comes up behind him and asks what happened and logan just sort of stares straight ahead, rolls up his sleeve, and sticks out his arm, and remus is like logan?? and it takes logan a few seconds to snap out of it and he sort of gazes at remus, goes wide eyed, and then apologizes as he brings his arm back in and rolls down his sleeve, and he seems really awkward but also quite relieved, and remus has never hurt him before, but it was just sort of that reactive thing, and that happens to be the day where remus decides to ask what those scars are, and asks to finally treat them properly because he hears logans whimpers and hisses in the shower

he and roman have their fair share of scars from their own shitty drunk parent, so they know pretty damn well how to take care of them, and how to steal bandages and shit, so remus helps clean them out and up while logan sort of quietly tells remus all about his life, why the music exam was such a big deal, and how remus basically changed his life, and how hes still confused and doesnt know if he made the right decision, and remus doesnt respond until the end where he bandages up logans arms and then gently grabs his hand and tells logan that hes safe now, and that being surronded by people who only put you down and more so hurt you isnt good, and that he believes logan made the right decision because hes safe here with them (the twins make sure to keep him guarded from the drunk parent) and roman seconds that from his spot on the bed, and so logan tries to put his past behind him and instead focus on playing music with remus, and playing shows at bars and stuff where they slowly gain a larger and larger fan base, and they make more and more money from the awesome music they play, and eventually use that money to buy their own house

i know its a lot, but just imagine. imagine

“Life Is About Choices” : Regulus Black Imagine/Story: Plus Size OC: Potter Sister

Regulus Black Imagine turned Story

Regulus Black x Reader: PS OC, Plus Size OC

------

Regulus Black was the good one.

He was the one that listened.

He kept his emotions in check and didn’t question anything his parents said.

Well, out loud anyway.

But that all changed the day he met her.

Everything about her was pure perfection to him and she had this way of breaking down his walls that be absolutely hated... and loved.

She soon became the one person who could get through to him and figure out what was going wrong or calm him down when things got real.

He was the happiest he’d ever been with her.

He wanted a life with her but he knew exactly what type of mess he’d gotten himself into and he’d sooner die than let her be involved.

He thought that she deserved better than him.

Someone who wasn’t broken.

Someone who wasn’t toxic.

She’d told him millions of times that she loved him for all that he was and he’d believed her.

He knew she loved him.

Unconditionally and with her whole heart.

And that’s why he broke it.

“She’ll get over me.” he said to himself, breathing ragged as he fought off the tears.

“She’ll find someone better.” he said, eyes welling up as if to spite him.

“She’ll find a good person and they’ll get married and they’ll have lots of babies ... and she’ll be happy.” he said, rocking back and forth.

“Without ... me.” he said, tears flowing down his face.

He wiped at them aggressively.

“Stop it.” he cursed himself. “Stop crying.”

But he couldn’t.

It just swallowed him up and he couldn’t stop.

Eventually, he was in a full panic and his roommate walked in to see him in such a state.

The poor kid did the only thing he could think of and he ran off in search of Regulus’ brother.

Sirius was floored when his brother’s dormmate tracked him down in a panic telling him there was something wrong with his brother.

He and Regulus barely spoke anymore and he couldn’t fathom why ... but it didn’t matter.

He was clearly in trouble and call it ‘big brother instinct’ or whatever- he and the Slytherin made quick work of the castle.

He ignored the calls of protest as he raged through and into the dorms.

“Which one?” Sirius said and the kid pointed at the door. Sirius blasted through the and halted at the scene before him.

His younger brother was absolutely losing it as he sat there in the chair, hyperventilating.

“Reg?”

Regulus’ head snapped up, luminous eyes locking on his brother, “What- are- you- doing- here?”

He barely got the words out due to his labored breathing and Sirius took a seat on the bed beside him.

He took in the sight of him.

He’d never seen Reg cry like this- save for when he was really, really young and they’d fought over a toy.

“Your dorm mate came and got me. Said you needed help. Reg, what’s going on?” Sirius pressed.

Regulus squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head.

“Regulus, come on.” Sirius said. “Just tell me. Did someone hurt you? Need me to beat someone up? I’ll do it. Tell me and me and the lads will make them run back to their mums.”

Regulus laughed a bit despite himself and Sirius smiled a little.

“You know, Jade Potterl?” he said, tears still seeping out.

“James’ little sister? Yeah, why?” Sirius asked.

“No.” He choked. “We broke up. Well, I broke up with her.”

Sirius sat back for a second to process, “Well, I didn’t even realize the two of you were dating but alright. Althought, I’m finding it a little hard to not lose my temper right now, Reg. She’s like a little sister to me. Did you hurt her?”

“No.” Regulus shook his head. “Well, I mean, it wasn’t anything bad. I just broke up with her and told her I wasn’t ready for a relationship.”

“Regulus, why did you do that? You were happier than anyone had seen you in months.” Sirius said, brows furrowing. “I mean, I didn’t realize it’s because you were dating Jade but either way.”

“You know why!” Regulus snapped. “I’m disgusting! I can’t have her be around me and love me! I’m toxic! I’m poison!”

Sirius sat back and this began to escalate even further... and he honestly didn’t know what to do.

He’d never seen Regulus like this before.

“She was the one good thing in my life!” Regulus said, standing from the chair and shoving it away. “She loves me, Sirius. She’s always there for me. She’s good for me. But I can’t just keep her around because she makes me feel good or because she’s got a big heart. That’s not fair. And mother and father will NEVER-”

“Fuck them.” Sirius cut him off and Regulus rounded on him.

“I’m not like you, Sirius.” he said, face red with tears and frustration. “I can’t just rebel like that. They’ll never stand for it.”

“Then leave.” Sirius said simply.

“Where would I even go?” he said.

“The Potter’s.” he said simply. “It’s where I went.”

“That’s different.” Regulus argued.

“How?”

“James is your best mate.”

“And you and Jade are apparently hopelessly in love with each other.” he challenged though he regretted it half a second later because Regulus looked like he was about to lose it again.

“I broke her heart.” Regulus admitted, crashing back down into the chair and holding his head between his hands.

“Then mend it.” Sirius said, placing a hand on his brother’s shoulder. “Talk to her. Apologize. I know Jade. She’s got a good heart and she’s very forgiving.”

“She has to be. James is her brother. And I’ve sort of become her psuedo brother.” he added with a chuckle. “Trust me. Just talk to her. And don’t go back home for Christmas. Stay here or come to the Potters. Just start cutting mother and father off, Reg. It’s killing you. It’s been killing you for a long time. Honestly, man, you’re sixteen and I think I already see gray hair.”

“Oh shove off.” Regulus laughed and Sirius clapped his shoulder as he got to his feet.

“Listen, Reg. If you need me, just find me or something. We might not always get along but obviously when it comes down to it- if you need me I’ll be there.” he said.

Regulus just nodded and Sirius headed for the door.

“Hey, Sirius?”

The older of the two turned back with lifted brows.

“Thanks.”

“No problem, runt.” he smirked. “Now, talk to Jade. I’m giving you twenty four hours before I break the news to James... who likely hunt you down for dating his ‘precious baby bean sissy poo’.”

“What?” Regulus laughed.

Sirius shrugged, “His words. Not mine. I love him to death but he’s got issues when it comes to how protective he is of his sister. It really shouldn’t have been a shock to me that she kept this a secret. Sneaky little shit.”

Regulus just smiled knowing just how sneaky she could be.

And with that Sirius was gone and Regulus did his best to just calm down.

-----------

DUN DUN DUN! Hello, my darlings! So this is kind of some backstory off that Reg/Potter Sister Reader thing I did! I decided to turn it into a story instead with an oc! Fun times! We’ll see that dramatic scene soon enough but for now- here’s a bonding moment between the brothers!

Note

csa survivor here, who's probably an "anti" (i used to be proship, bear with me) by your definition because i cannot even begin to comprehend how someone can look at horrible traumatic shit and go "damn that's hot". althought i'm obviously anti-harrassment cause i don't think anyone should be sending death threats to anyone. also i do have a few ships that are considered ~problematic~ because of an age gap or something else. so idk.

but do you have any sources or explanations on how being pro-ship is harmless?

because i can't wrap my head around people jerking off to fictional kids. because in my eyes, if the concept of a fictional child in a sexual situation is arousing, there's probably something not right with you. but again, that's just me.

if you have any genuine articles or responses that aren't just "it's fiction uwu", that would be great. if not, that's fine too. i just don't know how to feel about this discourse anymore because i got harrassed by both antis AND proshippers so lol. yea.

I can see how you would think it’s repulsive or concerning. And hey, I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s less “damn that’s hot”, and more “hey here’s a way for people to explore darker themes without any legal repercussions”. I can’t exactly give you articles about proshipping in general being harmless, but I can give you some stuff on exposure therapy for other survivors of CSA or any kind of abuse/trauma. Also big yikes to getting harassed by both sides of this. Proshippers are supposed to be anti-harassment, jfc.

Under the cut, it’s gonna be a long one.

It might not be how you cope, sure, but for some people it can give them a way to explore what happened to them and find some closure, almost in a way that desensitises the one suffering to the trauma itself, and it’s been shown in some cases with PTSD to help with the symptoms: x x x The big thing here is that it’s in a controlled environment. You can stop at any time if you’re exploring it through fandom content, which is probably the best part of it if you are shipping “problematic” ships to explore what happened to you. And some people might not do it to cope. Some people just enjoy exploring darker themes because it interests them. It doesn’t really reflect on them as a person, sometimes a spoon is just a spoon. Sometimes you see two characters and want them to make out. It doesn’t make you a bad person. This gif from a shoe0nhead video sorta explains it:

The next thing I want to cover is the whole “jerking it to fictional kids” thing. By definition, paedophilia is a psychological condition that can be treated, but not very well understood. I’ll make it clear now that I’m not defending the actions of paedophiles, but let’s make it clear that this condition needs to be better understood to prevent any harm to children and to better treat these people. I won’t deny that there are some very sketchy individuals on this website and other social media platforms. Now let’s discuss the laws around pornography portraying minors in very adult situations- while Australia doesn’t know the difference (because blanket solutions to intricate problems is kinda what we do here), in the US and UK, to my knowledge, explicit images of fictional minors is not considered CSEM (Child Sexual Exploitation Material). They do not portray real minors, and therefore does not endanger any real children or warrant an arrest or investigation- most of the time the artists have the good sense to age these characters up to be over 18. In the past, antis have wasted the time and resources of the relevant authorities by sending them after artists who haven’t broken the law, and organisations like the Centre for Missing and Exploited Children and INHOPE have repeatedly asked for this to stop happening. The use of the term ‘pedophile’ to brand proshippers ultimately ends up with a “boy who cried wolf” effect where the word loses its true meaning. Again, sometimes a spoon is just a spoon.

To put it rather simply: those who partake in problematic content or ships are not breaking the law or causing harm. What causes harm and distress is when the content that creators have tagged appropriately is dragged into spaces where it was never meant to be without the artist’s permission or knowledge or the right tags. I can understand how it upsets you and other csa survivors who might think similarly, really I do. But the best thing to do is trust that these people who ship the things you find problematic know the law and do not intend to hurt anyone because of it.

An AU where Rocky & Ralph lives while Floyd dies in NY

Dealing with Ralph betrayal probably gonna end sort of differently (i think?) because Nicky is back being the boss and obviously Rocky gonna walk with us in the wedding as planned after getting shot

Floyd getting killed also settled the beef of him almost taking over the Valentino family althought in this case Ralph manages to kill him instead of wounding his neck, adding the difference factor

1.I cant see anything on fanjoys insta; it wont load.

2.Althought i like Colbys drop, i wish he would come up with his own concept for once like his own illustration. He obviously got this idea from the skull painting Amber got when she decorated his room which means the concept belongs to another artist and now KillJoy is going to profit off of it. Its the same thing with the skull facing a different direction being the only exception.

oh i wonder why that's the case. this is the photo the anon was talking about

and yeah, i will say that's the part about fanjoy i truly dislike. they literally steal and manipulate from other brands just to make influencer merch. sam had a bunch of nintendo looking designs for a while, tara had hello kitty, some tiktok literally had bratz. there's probs tons of others i can't think of, but yeah. i don't think colby has to physically design his own merch like that (bc i don't think he's artistic in that way) but it would be nice if the artists are fanjoy didn't base their designs off of something else.

I kinda think they broke up a few days after he visited her on euphoria’s set because as you said she posted a story supporting the brothers trust and tom ( althought he said he was gonna take an insta break) stil liked z’s vogue cover post the next day ( or something like that idk remember very well) sooo maybe they broke up over the phone who knows? I always thought that maybe after that day on set they decided to take a little break or something and then a few days later they called it quits? But that also doesn’t make much sense because they were still supporting each other through social media ( maybe they’re just that cordial to each other ? Lol)

Idk maybee they were starting to fight a lot and for the sake of their friendship and stuff they decided it was better to break up... And yes him feeling so homesick back in april 2019 and comparing to now def explains something was happening at that time👀 but yes i don’t think their breakup had nothing to do with falling out of love for each other, you could see they still cared deeply about each other on the press tour ( actually I will never get over z’s worries regarding Tom on the spidey suit 🥺)

Anyways we will never know when and how they broke up for sure so the least we can do is speculate... also no need to be sorry, keep doing “dissertations “ I love reading them 😂

I totally agree w/you. I’ve kind of had that impression too that maybe they broke up a few days AFTER that Euphoria set visit? That would make me feel kind of sad though because then it would mean that they broke up over the phone. 😔

Maybe it was initially a “break” that turned into a firm BREAK-up before the press tour. I definitely think that it was looming for a while. And if you believe the “Audrey Tea”, then Tuwaine felt that a breakup was imminent as well. So it was probably bound to happen, but they just didn’t want to let go cuz of course they still cared for each other, but in the end I do think it was for the best.

Re: them supporting each other... While it is kinda weird, I don’t find it too weird only because like we said earlier, they still obviously loved and cared about each other a lot, and still wanted to see each other doing well, even while they were broken up. We’ve seen signs of this before - Each posting birthday messages to each other even though they’re split up, Z liking Tom’s post about his trip with his dad, Tom liking Z’s Euphoria post (just a few days after the TOlivia pics dropped), Z liking (and commenting) on Tom’s “Leo post” about not leaving the MCU (this was when she was already taking trips with JE too mind you😏), Tom liking Z’s Dune post, Z liking Tom’s Nadia/golf pic post, Z liking Tom’s TDATT post, Tom reaching out to Z privately to congratulate her on her Emmy nod, etc. Like, it’s obvious that no matter what, deep down they both still support each other and want the BEST for each other in life. 😊

During that time (back in May & June 2019) I also think they were trying really hard to be “mature” about the breakup, and still maintain an amicable friendship during the press tour. Since their breakup wasn’t due to any infidelity or betrayal of trust, I think they could still have that amicable friendship with each other and still be “cool” because they genuinely started their relationship off as FRIENDS FIRST to begin with. To me that makes a HUGE difference.

Okay I’ll stop here lol 🙈

The Firebending Masters

I just couldn't bring myself to start watching this episode. Before i was like "yesss, bring me all the awkwardness" but then i was like "oh fuck oh shit no i'm a dumb dumbass that can't handle awkwardness and embarrassment well". Luckily Zuko trying to interacting with the rest wasn't that bad. But, he really don't know how to interact, huh? Zuko, baby, just... chill a little. Ya know, work on your upbeat attitude. xD

Let's be honest, those eastern dragons look just weird with wings. How their long bodies even keep up? Ok, i guess that since only sky bisons are the only animal airbenders the dragons can't also fly just like that because of reasons. But still.

So, they looked a bit on a pretty, rainbow fire and we're like "ah yes we understand". Good for you boys. I do not get it at all. How do people uderstand things just by looking at them?

They have a one big fire that's burning for thousands of years. So, even at the beginning firebenders we're extra.

I didn't metion it earlier but why badger moles are so frikin big? Moles are really tiny, seriously, they're tinier that you would expect. And badgers are... average, i guess? There's nothing about these animnals that says "put togehter = elephant size".

Zuko is there for a day and a half, trying no more to murder everyone, and Sokka is immediately ready to mess up with him. Bless this boy.

The Boiling Rock, Part 1

Ok, honestly, Boiling Rock is kind of a stupid name. But now i learned that it's a literal boiling rock. A big rock in the middle of a boiling lake. In a volcano of course, because that's just how the fire nation is rolling. That's just funny.

They stole a whole fridge for people and no one noticed. Yeah, let's say it, these guard are not, hmmm... to not to be too rude... not very good at their job. But i also don't get how this whole chunk of a metal don't get incredibly hot in this lake. Did i miss something? ??? And later no one was able to tell that this very suspiciously behaving teenager that just showed up a few days ago is a mole. Maybe that's just how fire guards works? With tennage interns, or something. Because why not. Or maybe Sokka is just that genius master of disguise.

They separated Hakoda and Bato. ):

I don't know why but Mais uncle design is... Idk what it is, but there's something about him that dosen't seem right. I look at him and... I Just Don't Know. Something Wrong. So... meaty?

Sokka is fully aware that even when he is planning everything out, the results are not necessarily good. Zuko at leat accepted that he's a dumbass that is doing things without thinking, but it looks like he's still not aware that everything end for him more or less good. And they're such dumb champs together. Amazing.

Appa is such a baby they need to throw food into his mouth. Aaaaw.

Hotsquats. HOTSQUATS.

The Boiling Rock, Part 2

AzUla iS PeOplE PerSon And she just shoot up herself like a rocket. Dynamite gal.

Meat of friendship and fatherhood. Yeak, ok, sounds about right. In order to be a dilf you need to be also beefy. I guess.

Maybe show me this heart to be broken and love stronger than fear before you try to made me care about it? Because cuddly teenagers are not particularly emotional and moving. No? Oh, ok. I read analysis about power dynamics between Mai, Ty Lee and Azula, how their friendship works and how it not works, but this betrayal still looks much like it get out of nowhere.

Riot. RIOT. RiOT riOt RioT rioT rrriooot rRriOoOt riooot rIOt lol

Damn, Suki know how to get shit done. And i love how is she an equal match to Ty Lee, so far the most dangerous hand to hand fighter.

They stole a whole Big Adult War Baloon and just like that they flew back to the temple, huh.

The Southern Raiders

OOOoooh! So, yeah, Aang, if violence is never the answer what you're going to do when you finally meet firelord Ozai, eh? Ok, i know what's he gonna do, but it's weird that untill now he didn't thought about it at all. I guess that before the sun eclipse he didn't worried about how to defeat Ozai because he was supposed to be powerless, but now? Yeah Aang, yeah, whatcha gonna do when you come for him?

Why Sokka and Suki are so secretive about their relationship? Like, probably everyone knows about them. I bet it was Sokka idea and Suki just rolled with it just to humour him. And because it's cute and funny.

So Appa is so traumatized by tunnels that he would faced an air ships shooting bombs and fire at him in such intensity it looks like they shoot lasers.

Ok, Katara putting together her anger at Zuko and hatred towards all fire nation because of her mother being murdered makes sense. She was suppressing all her negative emotions for so long, no wonder that she even burst out at Sokka like that. As awful as it was, it’s understandable. Althought it would be nice to see her apologizing to him instead of talking with Aang about how she still do not forgave that man for what he done. I guess that people are having issues with Katara being angry at Zuko and overall angry is because we do not saw too much interactions between them. He just joins in, goes on two adventures and boom, i want my mother back! Not enough episodes with Zuko just dickin around with gaang and having bigger and lesser arguments.

But i also like how they showed that despite being full of hatred and anger Katara still wasn't able to kill. To commit murder herself. It's not that easy to kill someone, just like forgiveness is not easy. You can’t just say that you forgive or try to convince yourself into feeling like that. But you can somehow start to move on without it. But tbh Katara all this time was thinking about this man as a monster and that what she was exptecting to meet. And she found... well, we all know how he turned out to be. How do you gonna kill someone so pathetic?

I took your mothers life so you can take my mother, that's the only fair way, and i'm just like lololol xD

So, Sokka want to borrow Momo for a few days, who know for what, he most obviously do not. He just plans to get Momo and then maybe some adventure finds them on it's own.

Sooo, they we're just sleeping there like nothing happened and apparently we're surprised when attack happened. lmao seriously? No one got even half of a thaught that this big ass ship was followed? Hm it would be nice if someone else heard Azula celebrating becoming the only child. Sokka would made a good joke about how fucked up of a siblings they are.

The Ember Island Players

Actress playing Aang was so adorable and cute and precious.

Toph get a big, muscle guy that is defeating 10 people at once while making sarcastic ripostes. That's accurate in, like, 99,9%.

Sokka, a fan of comedy, was so happy and proud when actor playing him used Sokkas jokes and audience loved it. I think that our boy can start writing plays. He could be this world Shakespeare with his sense of humor.

Yes, Jet just died and they couldn't care less. Also he got a flower instead of that wheat. Nice.

Using ribbons to show firebending is a pretty good idea.

The fire nation is not immune to fire nation propaganda plays.

But how they find out about all these events? Like, what happened under Ba Sing Se in crystal caves? Who was their informant? ...Azula herself?

What's going on about Katara and having hope?

The cringe, oh the cringe that gaang was experiencing, it's just beautiful. xD

But seriously, how long is that play?

They should turn it into musical lol.

Aang, you're just 12. Stop thinking about being romantically with someone. Seriously. And do not kiss anyone on a lips without consent. Boy, you need a proper education about boundaries. And take example from Katara - it's a war, there's no time for things like that. Tbh i have nothing against kataang, but it's not handled very well through whole show. There was more scenes with some romantic tension that we're amiss than good. :/

Also, it feels like there's at least one episode missing when at the beginning they're suddenly in Zukos family old house on the ember island. I do noy necessarily need to see every step of their journey, like talking about where to go, and then to go there and getting cozy and all that. But the difference between ending of previosu episode and beginning of this is kind of too much. Especially when it ended on such strong emotional moment for Aang.
