"the housing market is crashing" "YES PLEASE I CANT WAIT TO BUY A SUPER AFFORDABLE AND CHEAP HOUSE" none of you are going to be able to buy a house when the market crashes. you've all got to give up this dream :/ you're gonna be so fucking disappointed when another recession hits and you're actually just poorer and less able to afford housing than before
#i need you all to understand that when you are praying for a massive housing market crash#what you are praying for is people‚ especially poor people and people of color‚ becoming homeless ❤️#the reason housing prices fell in 2008 is because THOUSANDS OF POOR PEOPLE WHO WERE THE VICTIMS OF SHADY LENDING PRACTICES#HAD THEIR HOUSES FORECLOSED ON OFTEN ILLEGALLY AND BECAME HOMELESS AS A RESULT#i am fucking BEGGING you guys to learn ANYTHING AT ALL about the fucking economy oh my god#this isnt just rich people shit. especially when youre calling for thousands of people to lose their homes. stop. oh my fucking god.#many of you may remember that houses were extremely cheap in 2008 and that was because no one was buying them!#because‚ and this may come as a shock to those of you who dont understand how money works‚ the economy affects EVERYONE#it was NOT just rich stock brokers who lost everything lmfao. its like yall forgot about the extremely high unemployment#and skyrocketing fucking suicide rates! like! average people were not suddenly buying up property lmfao! they were getting laid off!#btw if youre wondering why this makes me so mad its bc i became homeless for almost a full year at age 10 due to the 2008 market crash :)#so i personally dont really think its funny to joke about how great its gonna be when a bunch more kids are left without homes

Robyn Anderson's letters and emails to former Columbine student and friend, Chris Kirk.
Robyn testified that Eric and Dylan told her they “weren’t that stupid” when she inquired about them using the guns to hurt people. She also testified that she knew Eric and Dylan’s parents were not to be told about the purchase of the guns. According to her narrative report from [date]: “...She stated that they asked her not to tell anyone and they in return would not mention her name regarding the gun purchase. She further stated this was not a two way blackmail sort of thing or a threat but rather just an understanding amongst them that this transaction for the guns would not get around to anyone else.”
She explained that this did not raise her suspicions as “there are some things that you don’t want other people to know about.”
Robyn’s relationship with Eric and Dylan intrigues me as she appeared to exist on the margins of the friend group and is not often mentioned in writings or encounters with other friends. In fact, she is hardly mentioned at all in both Sue and Brooks’s books, merely described as a nice girl who had a crush on Dylan. Her significance as Dylan’s prom date was truly sensationalized after the fact, as she was the girl who was prom dates with a killer.
I believe Robyn may have struggled with feeling close to many people. Robyn’s emails become desperate as she fears Chris Kirk pulling away due to her involvement with Dylan. She takes a lot of pride in taking Dylan to the prom and mentions that she believed Dylan would do anything for her if it made her happy. I previously mentioned the 1999 senior class photo in which Dylan and Eric encouraged the friends sitting with them to aim fake guns at the camera. Robyn was one of these friends. Based on the evidence we do have, Robyn seemed as though she would go along with whatever Dylan wanted her to as she was almost desperate for his attention and approval. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with Robyn – this is a very normal behavior for a teenage girl. It is important to remember exactly that: Robyn was a teenage girl.
While Robyn gave clear indicators that she knew the gun transaction was wrong (The secrecy, the fact they were underage), I also do not feel it’s accurate to say there was no way she couldn’t have known what they were up to. Robyn, and many others, described it as "unshocking" that Dylan and Eric were interested in guns based on their personalities and interests.
5/6/1999 chat between Robyn and Chris:
Chris: some interesting events so i hear huh
Robyn: …what have you heard?
Chris: basically about the shooting and victims
Robyn: hmm…were you out at sea when it happened?
Chis: yes i was
Robyn: I was in my car coming back from lunch…i pulled into the parking lot and didn’t know what was going on – i sat in my car in the parking lot for about 2 and a half hours… I didn’t know who it was until later.
Chris: it’s quite a shock to hear
Robyn: it was – very shocking because Dylan was never like that… he would do stuph [sic] just because he knew it would make me happy – like going to prom – he didn’t really want to go but he went to make me happy. who did you know?
Chris: dont tell me that shooting all those people would have made you happy
Robyn: no
Chris: ok just making sure
Robyn: he never talked about anything like that
Chris: how long did you know him for
Robyn: about 3 years
Chris: i heard that they had the idea for like ayear. they never said anything[?]
Robyn: nope – I think it was mostly eric’s idea. not that I am defending what Dylan did – cuz he was part of it – but I don’t think he came up with the idea
Chris: hmmm interesting. i think they had help in all of it
Robyn: I’m not sure about that because if they didn’t want other people to know something they didn’t tell them. best way to keep a secret. If they were really planning it for a year – they probably didn’t have help.
Chris: i mean that’s a lot of bombs to be placed, and especially in the cafeteria
Robyn: yeah it is – but they may have planted some before hand – I heard that they might have at afterprom – i took dylan home at about 3:45 that morning and he and Eric could have gone back and put some down there if they had keys
Chris: how would they get the keys though. did they work in the school store or something
Robyn: Dylan did sound for the plays with Zack Heckler and I know that Zack had keys so Dylan might have, too.
As I mentioned, her demeanor is fascinating. She appeared to be concerned about Chris’s perception of her after the shooting occurred more than anything else. It’s a conclusion that seems incredibly obvious – but I think there are many moving parts to Robyn’s psyche that can explain her blase attitude.
First, I see an eighteen year old that has been recently traumatized. Robyn had a direct hand in the murders that occurred on 4/20/99. Her close friend was the one who pulled the trigger and then turned the gun on himself. She was pursued by law enforcement after witnessing and experiencing a traumatizing event, therefore most likely unable to have an appropriate mourning and processing period. Robyn clearly deeply cherished her relationship with Chris, which would have been an oasis in the endless desert of grief she was quickly thrust into.
It’s important to note that Robyn’s only media appearance since the shooting was alongside Diane Sawyer, in which she reiterated her narrative statement given to police. In 2001, she appeared before a Colorado court and settled with nearly a dozen families, agreeing to pay $300,000 in restitution for her connection to the shootings. At this court appearance, she recorded a statement for any future lawsuits. Robyn’s experience is truly very unknown aside from what has been released to the public.
I try not to pass judgement on her behavior too harshly.

Reverse isekai au crackhead brainrot thoughts. The characters greatest enemies are angst fics of themselves x reader or whatever you save or bookmark in your device that they somehow found out.
Imagine that reader is an angst lover. Some fics depicts the characters as ooc but it’s for the plot. And reader can appreciate a good plot.
It’s feels weird for the characters at first. Reading about themselves but still they persist because they’re curious of what would happen next. Curiosity kills the cat tho.
They are immediately horrified once they read that certain angsty part which they will then have a violent outburst on how unrealistic it was and how they wouldn’t do that to reader EVER(Childe and some others). Some may even appear catatonic in pure shock and horror(Xiao and Diluc). Others will sought out reader and started telling them they won’t do that ever and started begging for them to stop reading those type of things(Kazuha, Zhongli, venti and some)
Child deleting reader’s bookmarks and acting innocent when reader ask him about it.
Meanwhile Xiao would just grabbed onto reader’s sleeve, trauma evident in his eyes as he firmly but weakly said “I would never ignore your calls and left you for dead even after a petty argument.”
Reader: pardon????
Then there’s Zhongli who would confront reader about that particular story about how he supposedly see his current s/o as a replacement for Guizhong.
“My love, Guizhong is merely a dear friend of mine. Please understand that my feelings for you are as unwavering as the rock we-“
“Wait hold on, what?!”
Some of them will be a menace, others will be too traumatized to speak and just look for reader for comfort and the other will go on this poetic tangent on how their love is eternal and unbreakable as bedrock or something. Venti however will ugly cry and begged at your feet to not believe this blasphemy about his love towards you.
“Don’t ever *hic* *sobs* ever EVER *sobs some more* doubt m-my*hic* loveE FOR YO-*wails* YOU!! PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME!!*sobs uncontrollably* THEY DONT EVEN ACT LIKE ME AT ALL!!! I DONT KNOW THOSE VENTIS!! THEY DONT EXIST!!*wails*”
“Of course they don’t, they’re just fiction.”
Reader would be spending the rest of the day comforting a hysterical venti.
Meanwhile there are those that acknowledges it as fictional and Amgen even impress at the plot line.
In conclusion, angsty stories would leave this poor characters traumatize or highly amuse.
I'M WHEEZING THIS IS SO GOOD NONNIE I TRIED BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN ADD ANYTHING TO IT CAUSE IT'S ALREADY PERFECT SFLJSLDKFJ
ok ok ok ok but hear me out.... what if.... what if the angst fics the reader likes are those where the reader dies? def not projecting here lol nonono
ALSO bonus point if they read it on your pc/laptop and you have those browser extensions where it auto-replaces [name] with your actual name. they would be so scared/confused/wary because wait wtf how did this fiction thing know your name wait wHAT IF IT'S A PROPHECY OF SOME KIND OR LIKE AN ALTERNATE REALITY OR IT DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT WORLD OR-
.... you get the gist.
also taking this opportunity to recommend some good good angst where reader dies come cry with me:

"Well guys, it's 2023 and here's another dolt ranting about pronouns in the lust arc, just like the IH Fail essay that ended up being a fail in and of itself."
No its 2023 and people are deciding to keep ot real with you instead of deluding themselves and changing fhe narrtive to cater to a ship.
Respectfully, lets not speak on a language we dont know shit about, lmao.
Ichigo omits the pronoun when he tells rukia 'i've come to save you' in soul society that's because he was literally speaking to her, had been bickering with her from the previous page and had already told her he was there to rescue her back on the bridge - so he didn't need to specify to her 'who' he'd come to save: this is a typical example of "japanese omitting pronouns because they're obvious"
in the lust arc, ichigo is quite literally unconscious and unaware of his surroundings: in order to make it clear to the readers that ichigo recognized orihime, a pronoun (actually not even, he should have used her damn name like ichigo always did when he thought about rukia in ss) **needed** to be there without it, especially coupled with the fact that he speaks in broken japanese from that moment to the end of his transformation (i.e. he uses a mix of kanji and katakana, the latter of which is only used for foreign words, robots or - in bleach's case - hollows, and usually to signify that the speaker is just muttering sounds and doesn't understand the actual meaning of what they're saying), and the fact that he literally quite literally proceeds to throw orihime off the dome with absolutely no care for her well being, it's damn obvious that he had no idea who was yelling at him, he was only aware of the fact that someone was asking for help and got triggered by the word 'save'
"I mean this is just hilarious to me. Here's Orihime and Ichigo, literally placed together in side by side panels as Ichigo continues to chant about protecting...And ichiruki shippers are like, "hmmm well, it's not super clear who he's talking about because there's no pronoun so...I guess we'll never know 🤷♀️."
So being places together in panels side by side means he's referring to her? May I remind u he's just raised from the dead, and orihime is shocked as she processes what's happening. Those panels were to emphasise that. Not only have u attempted to educate me on the Japanese language and failed, you've now tried to say side by side panels somehow equates to the fact that he's referring to her? 💀.
"You think Kubo drew this^ entire page, at such a pivotal moment, to show that Orihime's...wrong? Like some sort of gag? She's just *imagining* that Ichigo rose up for her, but it's not actually true? That's...certainly an interesting way to interpret things lmao."
This was orihimes own perception of the situation. Orihime isn't a fact page, she's her own charecter with her own dialogue and thought. The fact she perceived it that way doenst mean its the case. She didn't imagine anything, it jsut looked that way too her, may I remind you she was the one screaming. She knows she's the person the screams belong too, ichigo doesn't. So of course she's gonna think it's here fault, common sense people.
You also proceeded to bring more asspulls and try and say how the databook confirms its about orihime when it was in third person.
"The readers aren't the ones who bound Ichigo to Orihime's screams (especially not you, anon, since you keep insisting it had nothing to do with her lmao). Kubo did that. That's how he meant for this scene to be interpreted: that Ichigo was bound to Orihime's screams. But you're still here fighting against it for some reason lol."
Did kubo tell u that he meant for the scene to be interpretated this way? Or did some angel come to you in ur dream and tell u that? If thats true, kubo wouldve simply added confirmation that hes talking about orihime by adding pronouns or her name. Instead he doesnt do that and has ichigo propell her away
He was bound to her screams, it's just that he didn't know the screams belonged to her, as long as those screams belonged to someone, he's gonna get up... that's who he is. It could've been anyone else screaming there and he would've stood his ass the fuck up, that's his charecter and what he does. Lmao you think this would go without saying, but the lengths ppl go for shipping is hilarious.
"Ichigo did know she was calling out to him. It was part of his internal monologue, as she's screaming, before he hollowfied. Whether the pronoun is there or not (because again, the pronoun for her doesn't *need* to be there to make it clear who he's talking about when she's clearly the only person screaming, placed directly next to a panel of him rising him up...) he could hear her voice. He could hear her calling him. He ruminated over ORIHIME'S screams and was bound to ONLY that purpose. Only her. "
He could hear her voice, he just didn't know it was her. Just that it was somebody, it's not that hard to grasp. There's nothing wrong with ichigo not knowing it's orihime but since shipping has rotten yalls brains, it has to be about the Princess hime, and not about ichigos own charecter, because everything has to be about orihime, right? (💀).
Your opinion on this probably won't change, that's granted as a deluded shipper. What also won't change, is the fact that this isn't an ichihime moment. U attempted to educate me on the japanese language and failed, I recommend doing more research time. I also reccomend not bothering to reply to things like these if ur arguement is just gonna end with "well ichihime is canon, deal with it" because it makes u look silly to say the least, and has nothing to do with the convo.
how i sleep knowing ichigo literally rose up from the dead for his future wife 🥰

Dear Watcher....
This is going to be about the youtube channel Watcher and a recent video that they released earlier today, so if you dont watch the channel, or older content produced by Ryan, Shane and Steven at Buzzfeed, this is not going to make sense to you. This only going to be for those who are a fan of Watcher, or are fans of Buzzfeed Unsolved so if you are, that's great!
Earlier today, I got a video notifcation from the channel titled, "goodbye youtube", and it was definitely not something I wanted to see. There is a recent trend this year of youtubers retiring or taking a break this year and I was scared this was that scenario. And it kind of was but way worse. Basically, the guys over at Watcher are going to be posting on their new streaming service called....Watcher. And, no, it is not a late April Fools joke, that's actually what their doing. Initially, I was in a state of shock after I watched through the entire video. I, no joke, went through the 5 stages of grief upon viewing this announcement and was thrown through a loop to where I struggled to focus on sketching one of my comic pages. So much so that I actually made a deviant blog post about it the moment I finished watching the video (most of the content from this post will be copied and pasted from that blog so declaimer I guess). After having some time to absorb this information, I have to say that Im really disappointed with the guys over at Watcher. Like Im not mad to where Im completely done with their content but.......WHY!?
I think at this point in time that a lot of people, myself included, are burnout with the whole streaming boom we've had for the past 5 years in no part thanks to those greedy bastards at Disney....but thats another story. I miss the days when there were only 2 to 3 main streaming services and not 5 billion other services that you need to buy in order to watch a show you like that was on Netflix but it now locked behind a pay wall. Streaming services used by a novelty concept but are now not looked upon in the best light. So for the them to announce a streaming service now is definitely a bad look, especially because the content before was free to access. I feel like creators will always have an uphill battle when it comes to content that was initially free being locked behind a paywall, because you're potentially isolating your audience and bringing up the question of weather your audience if loyal enough to give you money to enjoy your content. Now, like I said, I love and respect the people at Watcher, but I dont know if I'm willing to take money out of my wallet to watch the next season of Ghost Files. Especially in this economy, where in some parts of the country a big mac now costs 20 fucking dollars, and with inflation going out of control.
Now its not like I don't understand why they're doing this. Ever since its founding in 2019, Watcher has always had troubles with money, with most of their shows not being profitable enough to make ends meet (I know that sounds bs because most of their vidoes get millions of views but this is coming from one of the founders Steven, in an update video from a while ago so idk, views probably mean jack shit in the grand scheme of things). And the fact that they started around the pandemic didn't help things either. Unlike Buzzfeed, Watcher is a much smaller company so any loss that happens is felt much more than if it was a larger one. In the video itself, they mentioned that most of their money came through youtube ads and sponsorships, which, while alright if you're an independent creator, may not be enough for a company. And then there's the fact that YouTube can remove or demonetize videos out of nowhere and for the dumbest reasons so its not a very stable sight to base your income off of. So I can understand why they felt moving on from YouTube was a good idea. But..........I think there were better ways of going about it than creating their own fucking streaming service. Like, in one of their update vidoes, they said most of their shows werent making ends meet so maybe cutting back on the production of said shows to make them not as expensive to produce would be a good solution. In their announcement vid, they talked about wanting to maintain their high production value for their shows without going under but (and I dont mean this to slight them) I dont think they understand why they popped off in the first place. For me, Im not watching Ghost Files or Mystery Files for high production value and fancy graphics, Im there for Ryan and Shane. Same reason I loved Buzzfeed Unsolved, which compared to those shows is much more bare bones. I get wanting to step up your production value from what you had at Buzzfeed but if you have budget out in certain places which would entail having a season that doesnt look as good as the previous season, that's completely fine. Im sure me and the rest of fans wouldn't have minded a downgrade because at the end of the day, the fancy sets and graphics are window dressing to why we're truly watching.
I also thinking letting us know ahead of time would've possibly softened the blow. Watcher is in a very interesting situation because there's a much closer relationship between them and their customer base as opposed to traditional companies. So they really could've been like "hey! We're thinking about having future content be on our own streaming service because doing business through YouTube is fucking us over. What do you guys think?". One explanation as to why they waited until now instead of a few months ago when this idea was sparked could've been because they knew they would get backlash and they were going ahead with the streaming service idea regardless of fan input, which might be the reason. But if that's the case, they probably would've had the comments and likes disabled from the start. Right before I started typing this, I checked the video to see if the comments were disabled and they are thankfully still there. Im someone who always wants to see the good in people (which is definitely a character flaw of mine and while defiently lead to me being at the end of an abusive relationship........another abusive relationship but lets not go there), so I think this might be the case of Ryan, Shane and Steven, thinking the streaming service was a good idea and not reading the room properly.
At this point, Im hoping that they dont do things that could make this situation 10 times worse: a) removing the existing content (Mystery Files, Puppet History, etc) off the youtube channel and having it on their streaming service. If you are going to have new seasons of those shows behind a paywall, at least have that content still up for those who want to support but cant purchase the service......b) respond to the critism in a negative way. I think things would be made worse if they lumped genuine fans who are concerned with the new direction with the trolls and haters, and double down on this new direction. Im hoping this situation ends up being a slip up that they can learn from and not being the beginning of the downfall of the Watcher gang. No joke, I think Ryan and Shane are the only youtubers who have avoided any sort of drama up to now. Youtubers I once respected over the years from Tobuscus to Leafyishere to H3H3 to Idubbz to even fucking Dream have all fell from grace in one way or another, and Im hoping the ghoul boys dont join that list....

please dont be mad at me for asking this because its a question coming from a genuine place but how can you claim to be a lesbian yet in nearly every fic of yours the reader is 'struggling' with their sexuality or has had a boyfriend? your lesbianism shouldnt only be about struggling with the fact that you like women
ahhh… i see, that’s fine.
i ‘claim to be a lesbian’ because i am a lesbian. i first learned i was into women at the age of 4 and through all the mindless thinking of being told to be queer was the ‘wrong way to live’, i came to terms with it at age 12 that i am a lesbian. ive never felt more alive and happy to be the person that i identify today. i have no desire to pursue a man in any shape or form, never have i did during my youth, most of all my relationships were purely women, even my crushes— i don’t daydream about men or want to marry them, all my wants and needs goes into the hands of women.
but i don’t necessarily have to prove my lesbianism within my literature… literature is very expandable and yes some of it can be a reflection of the person it’s written by but i love being able to create a world that others can relate to despite the ‘uglies’ that can fall within the lines. being a writer or an artist of any kind, stories can be about any and everything, there’s some things that can leech off the person and bury itself within the content but some people like to go beyond… if that makes sense.
sometimes when i write, i have to take into account that maybe the person at hand (the reader) could be pansexual, it doesn’t exclude them from engaging in queer sensual activities… but what if the reader is experiencing comphet? that’s also a thing lots of people mindlessly endure. i try to make the reader slowly go within their own self discovery because sometimes they can be ‘stubborn’ enough to resent that part of them… continuing their path until they’re just like, ‘fuck it, this is who i am’ and absorb what they always tried to hide and now what they desire which is a woman… not a man. it can be annoying, i understand. you could feel disconnected or maybe have some discomfort when you read something that may or may not say that you’ve had male partners in the past… ill try to keep that in mind. it’d also make more sense if i included that information in the cw so it wouldn’t come as a shock… it’s only fair i suppose.
i just hope you know that yes… i am a lesbian person and i do apologize if the things i write make it seem like im not that… i do however have a lot of unpublished fics that don’t deal with any of those struggles or mention men being past partners so i hope when that comes out it won’t be as… questionable (for a lack of a better word).

Hi! This may seem strange but I would like to see your side of things, as someone who has not kept up with mcyt in like. A year at this point. I thought dream had groomed people? Was that a rumor or am I confusing him with someone else? And what do you mean about quackity? I'm coming into all of this very very very late lol
I dont blame you at all for not knowing what going on. I'll try to explain quickly but those are multiple complicated situations, so the post will probably get a bit long,sorry
Ok, so starting with the first one. There was a girl, called Amanda, who claimed that she was groomed by Dream. That was a lie, most of her claims being debunked either by herself, by people who knew her irl or by her ex-online friends. What we found out from those online friends is that Amanda was actually the one doing shady stuff, and you can find all about it on the doc her victim (mascara) put together
BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LOOK AT THE TW AND TAKE THOSE SERIOUSLY, THERE ARE GRAPHIC PICTURES IN THE DOC
https://twitter.com/Mascarahhhh/status/1679238021814550528?s=20
(And i think someone just recently came with even more things forward about Amanda, but that was recent and I hadn't had the chance to read it)
(Just went and read trought the stuff the other person posted and holy shit! Amanda fucking SA'd someone! Fully r4p3d them! The exclamation marks are of pure shock and disgust!)
So, thats the grooming situation. Dream did not groom anyone and the person who accused him of doing so should 100% be in jail
The Quackity situation, on the most basic level is that Dream and Quackity made similar smps and Quackity started ghosting Dream
At first it was just that. But it started evolving when Q fans started attacking and harassing Dream and his fans more and more, doxxing and stalking Dream and his family. Thats what prompted Dream to write a big text and post it publicly on twt, after spending almost a month trying to contact Quackity privately so they could talk and Quackity could say something to try to slow the hate down.
Quackity said and did nothing, and multiple Dream fans came forward talking about how people showed up to their houses and got arrested because of the Qsmp/Usmp situation.
I can find yoy specific threads talking about it later, but the Smile community actually made a doc with all the kind of hate and threats we got
Found it! But the document cannot be displayed anymore because of what it had in it. The people behind it are working on a solution, their account is https://twitter.com/Burner16610314?s=20
Individual threads \/ \/

yes i did post that long ass message to other people's ask to see diff opinions. i dont know why its so shocking, i am not saying he should dominate, u know when u see someone who has great potential in something and they're not using even minimally. u know what i mean? is it such a CRIME that i wish for success in his career. yesss i love that he took time off and wants to balance things between his work and personal life as he should. i am not saying take all the roles under the sun, i was just stating that theres so much he can do is all.
is it such a CRIME that i wish for success in his career.
But see, HERE'S the problem right here. You're the one implying that Tom isn't successful in his career! All we're saying is that Tom is ALREADY successful in his career.
When "fans" make statements like this, it gives off the impression that you feel as though Tom is not successful, when that couldn't be further from the truth.
Now, if you said, "I just want Tom to be even MORE successful in his career than he already is...", or, "I just wasn't Tom to work with xyz Director or Actor....", or, "I just want Tom to get recognized for his work and to win an acting award!", then THOSE statements would be very different, and much more understandable.
But when fans come in here complaining that he's "not doing anything" 🙄, or implying that he's "not successful" just because he's not nominated for "prestigious awards", it comes off as very off-putting, and almost like you want Tom to be going those things just to get fandom bragging rights on Twitter so that he can win some arbitrary and silly "fandom war". 🙄
yesss i love that he took time off and wants to balance things between his work and personal life as he should. i am not saying take all the roles under the sun, i was just stating that theres so much he can do is all.
Well yea, we all want Tom to be the best that he can be, and to work to his full potential.
But the dude is ONLY 27 YEARS OLD....
He has over 40 years to still be acting in this business. Unlike women, men don't really get an "expiration date" in Hollywood. Especially white men...
AND he's foreign too? You know Hollywood has a love affair with foreign-born actors rofl 🤣 😂 Tom is doing just fine! He's doing what HE wants to do.
He might even have some plans for his career and his life that we know nothing about.
I just think fans need to TRUST Tom more.
He's been working non-stop for 6 years with Marvel. The man deserved a BREAK. Let him get his break! While other actors were still working in smaller films or TV, Tom was traveling around the world, doing press tours, doing meet and greets at various ComicCon events, doing interviews, etc.
Like seriously, give the man a break. Please...🙏🏾
Tom already has one project announced for this year, and we may get another announcement for smthg else that he's working on later on this year.

Hi! Can i get your opinion on something? So i run a Rammstein meme blog and to be honest i dont even know if it's appropriate to continue posting memes and stuff given the stuff going on. Would it be inappropriate to do that or what
Opinion yes (i always have opinions 😇), advice no, because i'm very bad at that 😊 so make of it what you will and consider for yourself which things you can 'defend' and which you stay away from at the moment (and maybe post at some later point)
---
first some life wisdoms that i go by
- when in doubt, don't (that has saved me from some prerty big mistakes)
- whatever you do, there are always some people who agree with it and definitely some who don't
- can you stand/defend by what you do, even if in the future situation may turn about differently than you had thought: especially on internet nowadays, once you post it, it's out there for ever ane ever and even longer than that.
- if you would know up front how everything turns out; you'd lay down before you fell
---
that said, i do understand your doubt, i don't post that many memes, but i have the same with posting fluffy/cute stuff and pictures and clips from the current tour.
- is it appropriate to post anything like that at the moment, as if it was a normal tour without the bad stuff (potentially) going on
- am i in denial, making it seem that i want to brush away any bad stuff, ignore that it happens
- do i know enough about the situation, should i know more, before continuing to post
- with what i know at the moment, what will i still be able to explain in the future about posting now
----
my personal take and considerations on what i post at the moment (and see above, i know there will be people who disagree and that is fine, everyone should work this out for themselves).
official investigation
the official investigation wrt Till Lindemann and Alena Makeeva in to (as i read it) whether there are structural sexual offenses or delivery of narcotics i follow as neutrally as i can until the investigation is concluded i believe in "innocent until proven guilty"
- i feel for all involved, on all sides of the argument (yes, honestly), and i choose to try to post only the facts when they come out, and try to post a balanced opinion when someone sends me an ask about it (but i don't reply to all asks, not if they are offensive, or presumptive, but also not if they are anons finding excuses)
- My feeling is that Till and Alena firmly believe that nothing wrong happened, they still afaik travel/spend time together and i think there are even gettogethers after the shows, albeit with a more trusted group of people. I hope by now they do take things seriously and not just expect it to 'all blow over', and if the investigations clear them completely they can always go back to their partying lifestyle they were used to
reactions on social media to it
the reactions of people about the allegations on social media do make me think about a couple of things
- i am not surprised by 'rockbands having sex with fans', Rammstein have talked about it in the past, Flake's books describe it, fan stories over the years have mentioned it. Should i be more shocked? For now: no. As long it's between consenting adults, go for it.
- there have been stories about the 'special' Afterparties for years, and the things that go on there. Many fans have long denied it, many people who were at Afterparties it in the past have denied it, but there have been so many similar stories in the past, that i'm not surprised that it turns out now that this has been the case. Maybe not always in Rammstein history but at least for the past few years. Am i an enabler for knowing that those existed and still posting about Rammstein? Maybe. This is one that i'm struggling with most. Maybe some have noticed, i tend to post 'fun and funny' stuff about the band, bit light-hearted, Flake's podcasts, someone's belts almost falling down, oopses when playing (and the guys trying to blame one of the others), guitarists being cute together; but i rarely to never post about Till's parties at concerts or in private when jetsetting in that way. If i post about that, it's a more 'matter of fact' 'out and about' post. That is my choice for now.
- Some fans and non-fans comment on the ladies in Row0 and the way they loo/dress.. I never call them girls (if you're old enough to dress like that you are not a kid 😊) and i don't want to have an opinion about some of the outfits, because i respect their fashion choices. On the other hand, i *do* post and comment on how the band look in their outfits, and in particular Richard, with his very good looking curves squeezed in a tight vest. If i don't feel i should comment on the ladies' outfits, should i not comment on Richard's either? I'm a little conflicted on this one, because i think Richard looks absolutely awesome this year, and i hope he feels awesome too (even playing with bare shoulders, so i hope he does), but i wonder how he feels about comments like that. I am holding back a bit on this at the moment (but with difficulty, because damn, he looks fine 🌺). Same with Schneider now growing a beard and looking amazing...should i comment on him looking amazing or hold back so as not to 'objectify'...
Feelings in the band / Schneider's post
Schneider's post for me confirmed many thoughts i had for the last couple of years:
- Till distancing himself from the others. I always get comments from his fans when i state something even remotely in that direction, but as Schneider posted it too, i feel free to state the same.
- Till having his own 'bubble' (Blase, in German), travelling with them, often staying in separate hotels with them. I call them Till's entourage, and have used that phrase for as a couple of years now,
- Others in the band not morally agreeing with everything Till does. Schneider has posted it, i wouldn't be surprised if there were at least one or two more in the band who feel the same, maybe even all 5, i don't know.
This to me is actually the biggest motivator on considering what or what not to post. I want the band (all of them) to be happy, but i would like most for them to be happy *together*. In my fanfic world i would prefer the 6 to just leave all the other crew members behind and just go on a tourbus together and travel from show to show, just the six of them. That is not going to happen, and in a longterm relationship it's actually quite healthy to not do everything together and every person having their own things.
If I knew they were 'six against the world' and would all agree on everything, i would post loads and loads and loads more stuff (you'd probably all get sick of my blog 😊).
But that is not Rammstein, is it...with 6 strong characters, there's always bound to be some disagreement happening there...i hope they are seeing eachother between shows or after the tour and work certain things out.

[████████ 100%] — @eijirhoe !
ִ ࣪𖤐 thank you for doing matchups with quasar !ִ ࣪𖤐
it looks like you’ve taken the hearts of…
i’m not going to lie, i was struggling with this one. but of everyone, hange zoe seemed like the best choice!
.☘︎ ݁˖ HANGE thinks you’re an enigma. they find you incredibly alluring with your idiosyncratic countenance and attitude, and your refreshing atmosphere. the ambition you carry near your passions only furthering that (by a lot). hange is a character i cannot see liking someone who is without ambition or passion of some kind. every character in aot has some kind of passion they hold deep inside their heart, and this is no different. it’s not every day someone of your caliber comes around, so you know well hange will do their best to keep you around, and keep you happy. seeing the laughter roll out your chest is something that brings more happiness to them than their research; because as much as they love research, they cannot compared to loved ones.
.☘︎ ݁˖ not only that, hange is someone who is able to help you rest easily— they are someone of great empathy that can understand the emotions within you well, and truly connect with you as a person.
.☘︎ ݁˖ dont say you dont think you have too much talents! those are just unexplored territories waiting for a time to be lit. nobody i have chosen for you thinks otherwise from this. hange will definitely draw with you, and after finding your talent for the arts, invites you out frequently and as they always do, ask you many things. hange has a thirst to understand two things: titans, and anything regarding you. lore, mythology, all of that — hange is an avid listener to anything you wish to tell them! not only that, hange is the perfect person to go to for binging horror movies together—just be prepared for a lot of exclamations! not just out of shock, but also of intrigue. the two of you definitely cuddle together under a blanket with drinks and snacks on the side, watching the latest A24 or those super scary asian films. the two of you have very comfy dates, many times basking in each other’s presences instead.
.☘︎ ݁˖ and your pagan witch aspect??? is the cherry on top??? tell them all about it
.☘︎ ݁˖ hange is your number one supporter! it feels like autumn turning to a breezy spring with them, the smell of the earth on crisp wind, decaying leaves falling, then trees becoming rejuvenated.
— runner up: ARMIN ARLET
.☘︎ ݁˖ i think you may not have expected this, but i see the potential so deep in. he absolutely favors you, especially your clear sense of justice, and despite it being not so good, the people-pleasing attitude definitely piques his curiosity. he thinks of it split in half; it showcases a more destructive trait to oneself, yet it also means you are willing to give up a lot for the people you love. diluc thinks he lost his own drive in the past, mired with the fatui staining and straining his action. you’re someone who can bring the fire in his heart out in actuality, compassionate enough to point him in the right direction to take. with you, i think the burdens of his past can be elevated, and he can properly heal. something about the vibe you give off really tells me that.
.☘︎ ݁˖ he definitely doesnt know how to express his love properly too, so definitely expect him to turn into those courting gentlemen who writes romantic letters stamped with official seals and sending you gifts anonymously. clothes you would like, expensive materials for your hobbies like canvas, paints, varnish, giving you a drink on the house whenever you visit the tavern with your friends, afraid to meet your eyes. not only that, seeing the vigor of your passion brings him a sense of both pride and hopelessness in himself. oh how much that drunk kaeya teases him! thinks hes so subtle. the knights of favonius has definitely gathered together to help the two of you get together 😭
.☘︎ ݁˖ diluc has never truly gotten into the halloween nor christmas spirit, even though his tavern is always decorated for special events like these. i think he would love embellishing the house with you at those times, since you have pulled him into that spirit again. it’s a sort of quiet and strange delight he gets, nostalgic and tingling with feelings. many times, he gets out of his own character a lot, and surprises you with sudden back hugs in order to greet you.
.☘︎ ݁˖ definitely discusses mythology with you. he has a very nice voice too, so expect him to run his hands through your hair while reading aloud for you. and as a well-bred gentleman of ragnvindr roots, the arts is something he can appreciate deeply, though he has never had more deeper interest as a young boy, starting now isnt bad! he gets very fixated with your movements many times, and i think he just silently watches like an owl while you do your things. owl diluc????
— runner up: SCARAMOUCHE, ARATAKI ITTO
.☘︎ ݁˖ ok this one, this one i had to do cmon now. the two of you slot together super well, and his protectiveness extends with you being someone he has an interest “crush” “its interest mikey.” “just say crush.” in. he’s sooo soft on the inside, tough on the exterior, he’ll treat you so damn well and be so respectful to you. you can definitely expect no sugarcoating in this relationship, draken is very honest to you, and loves indulging you. i think his boldness and brashness is something that he can use to help you further become someone you love.
.☘︎ ݁˖ he admires your loyalty and love for your friends — its something the two of you have in immense commonality. you’re someone who he can have many respect for in your characteristics. he definitely teases you out of good fun, and asks you for help when it comes to things like fashion. in his eyes, artistic talent translate to good fashion 👍🏻
.☘︎ ݁˖ you’re just so humble and so kind, and so many other things, he brags about you so often in front of his friends. absolutely shamelessly drops your name here and there. and he hopes one day you’ll see yourself the way he sees you. like in toman, you’re gonna be a celebrity fr. the vice president is very selective, he does not play in any manner when it comes to choosing the ones he surrounds himself with! for you to grab his attention, you must be someone truly out of the ordinary.
.☘︎ ݁˖ riding on him with his motorcycle feels so safe. he places his own helmet on you until you get your own (which you do fast because no way is he going on the traffics without a helmet SAFETY FIRST!)
.☘︎ ݁˖ under everything is a slight hint of guilt. he’s a gang member, and there are enemies that sometimes he cannot stop. but, he’s definitely going to put his life on the line if its to ensure your safety—yeah this never happens though because the two of you end up getting married and live happily ever after.
— runner up: SENJU KAWARAGI
[a/n] thank you sm for this matchup exchange 💕💕 i hope you enjoy!!!

So I’ve watched a ton of reactions to ofmd (indulging the ones mentioned in your post) because I was really curious to see how people responded to a show like this and I’ve observed some THINGS
• People generally don’t like/aren’t sold by ep 1 (crazy to me since it’s one of my faves and I was hooked instantly but it). Even people that liked it don’t seem to get the tone just from one ep.
• People always end up having a favorite crew member. Very fun to see who they end up gravitating towards
• Most people believe Black Pete’s stories at first/think they will be proven right later
•Most people don’t pay attention to Jim’s pronouns unless they are already aware that they are nb/are told by commenter that they are nb
• A lot of the little jokes and clever moments and line deliveries kinda go over a lot of peoples heads
• Queer people love Stede, straight people have to warm up to him
• Most people credit Taika for this show/most straight people heard about it because of his connection to it
• I’ve only seen one person previously unfamiliar with the foot touch in ep 8 notice it
• Everyone loves Lucius
• Hardly anyone notices how romantic the moonlight scene in ep 5 is (and of course the ones who pick up on it are the gays)
• This show reads much better for gay people. Like of course, but it’s interesting to actually watch the differences in reaction to a lot of moments. I mostly like to watch people who aren’t familiar with the show at all and I like to keep the mix of people (straight, queer, poc, white etc.) diverse so that I can see how people with different backgrounds respond. Queer people 100% of the time are feeling those themes and narratives.
• Everyone always loses their shit when Karl dies
• No one ever talks about how fun Geraldo is and that’s wild to me. Loved his character so much.
• End of ep 3/ep 4 is what usually hooks people
• Most people, including the straights, actually do see the kiss coming but there are a few who are still shocked
• People want to fuck Blackbeard and Jim but what else is new
• A surprising amount of people “predict” that Ed isn’t going to kill Stede because they’re going to end up friends. Like…..yeah. He’s the main character. Idk. They kinda set that up for you.
• A lot of Ed’s vulnerable moments go overlooked
• Most people can’t believe Ed leaves the dock and freak the hell out when he goes back to being Blackbeard. Very fun reactions to those things.
• Not many people point out Izzy’s attraction to Blackbeard
All this information may be completely useless but it’s really fun to observe how people respond to this show. OFMD is UNDOUBTEDLY a show for the gays but I love that by the end most straight people also highly praise and recommend the show.
omg anon i love you and im gonna try to respond to most of the points bc im v happy i got this message.
it genuinely made me so sad when ppl weren't that into the first episode, its so perfect and very easily shows the found family shit thats about to happen.
ik a lot of new people dont know about jims pronouns but by fucking god does it make me uncomfortable when ppl immediately use she/her pronouns for them,, but im glad that ppl start using it when commenters tell them abt jim.
OMG YEAH SO MANY LITTLE JOKES GO OVER PPLS HEADS AND IM JUST SCREAMING AT MY SCREEN TELLING THEM TO APPRECIATE IT ASKFJS,,, the scene where stedes like "no this is it,, thats it." THE FUCJING LINE DELIVERY ON THAT IS PERFECT BUT LIKE NO ONE MENTIONED IT
stede is for the gays,, only we can fully understand that little fucker
no bc it made me so mad that not many people credited david jenkins properly,, like its his show?!?!?!
everyone should love lucius,, hes perfect in every way
GOD I WOULD GET SO SAD WHEN MOST PPL JUST SKIMMED BY THE MOONLIGHT SCENE,, AND I DON'T THINK ILL EVER FORGET "nice , theyre friends now" HUH?!??!??!?!
i think alot of straight people just dont care, like most of the youtubers ive seen react to the show, mostly just care about the comedy and if its entertaining. it kinda shocking to me seeing ppl just act normally about the show and not completely dissect it and every single theme they can find
ahhh omg yeah idk how ppl can look at the bathtub scene with ed and just go "aww thats sad" and just dismiss it?!?! that scene changed my brain chemistry and ruined me,, ed vulnerable moments were my favorite and i really wanted more people to talk about that
oh man i feel like i can go on a whole ass rant about ed becoming the kraken,, like people say it doesn't make sense but if you just think about it for 2 fucking seconds you can see that it v much makes complete sense to his character,, hes just trying to protect himself
i like pointing out izzy's atrraction for blackbeard bc its fucking hilarious how pathetic he is for a man that barely even cared abt him and doesn't even exist (hes in love with the idea of blackbeard and but not ed)
anyways this was incredibly fun to respond to, anon!! pls send me more shit if you want <33
#i hope my responses make sense bc im working on 0 hours of sleep 3 coffees and my phone#and god i hope the toxic izzy stans don't come and fucking kill me for the last point.. ive had to deal with too many of them already😭😭#ofmd#our flag means death#stede bonnet#blackbonnet#edward teach#gentlebeard

for anyone planning to watch one day at a time for lesbian rep, they should also know numerous ppl make lowkey homophobic comments to the girl who's a lesbian that are never challenged("we know youre gay but do u have to act so gay?" type shit as well as her mom like. ughh, there's a whole episode where her mom is just really homophobic and in the end shes like "i may be thinking these things but its ok because i sould never say them to her and anyway my daughter coming out was an understandable shock") and also that the main family says some rlly racist shit( specifically their grandmother repeatedly saying theyre the "good kind of cubans" bc they're white, as well as referencing her family being invokved in the plantations where they lowkey owned black and brown ppl as a good thing, lots of pro us military bullshit as well, like, extremely,.) and that's never treated as a real issue either, just something to laugh at. so yea h. just throwing it out there because a lot of ppl recommended the show to me but being a brown lesbian, well, lol, lets just say it sucks to have to realize on tthe show that's being recommended to u for being "so progressive" and "such great latino rep" is racist af and repeatedly has homophobic insinuations about like, the only regularly seen queer character on the show. i lowkey doubt you'll post this anon, bc most ppl dont give af but. id appreciate it.
No, actually you’re right. When I said it was a good lesbian rep I was mainly talking about Elena, not how the other characters treat her or how they see her identity, it’s very very rare seeing lesbians being represented in a more positive way, not fetishizing or anything like that, and the fact that they do use the word lesbian (not as frequently as I’d like to but still better than never) is a huge thing because most lesbian characters are never referred as lesbians.
After I rewatched some episodes there really are some things that bothered me like those you brought up. That particular scene of “acting gay” I did not really like it, I don’t know if the character who said that (from what I remember it was either Alex or Lydia) was actually supposed to sound homophobic or not. But considering that scene is supposed to be funny I do think it’s just a way to kinda mock her. Also that scene of Penelope saying she can think homophobic things about her daughter because as long she doesn’t say anything to her is okay… That sounded so wrong. It’s not okay. Just because you’re not saying those things out loud it doesn’t mean it’s not wrong.
I’ve never actually noticed Lydia said that because they were white… wow. The part of the pro military I can’t really say anything because that’s the most common thing in american movies/shows. It’s very annoying though.
Yeah about being a great latino rep I don’t think it is, I say that as a latina. It’s still very much stereotyped, which is one of the things us latinos hate about how gringos see us. Tbh I don’t think I’ve ever seen good latino rep in american movies and shows.
Considering the show is still pretty much (from what I know) made by Americans for Americans, I’ve never really expected great rep from it.

Same anon from before, and I'm gonna kick things up a notch, now I'm going in the opposite direction where Wukong (who does have a history of an incredible temper and a catastrophic history of violence) who's so distraught and upset about Mac using his stufent against him and about MK training with Mac that after the fight Wukong lashes out and gives MK that wound before stopping to realize what he's done, but it's too late and MK has screaming and Mac *heard* it happen, and looking at Wukong with total disbelief and broken trust that a shadow portal opens up under and brings him to Mac, who's let down his glamor and has a scar from a similar wound.
AaaaaaAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOO and by no i mean YES YES but also AUGH WUKONG NO
Okay this goes for a while so i need a readmore
*head in hands* Wukong.. how would his and MK's relationship ever recover from that. I dunno if it would tbh. I feel like after that though, he'd either 1) hide away and wait for MK to come back, 2) do whatever he can to figure out what magical stuff and things he can get to fix MK's eye, or 3) seek out MK to take back his powers and staff before Macaque convinces him to enact some sort of vengeance and misuse those powers (which Wukong thinks he can understand why MK would do that and feels guilty and deserving enough to think it possible).
Or all three, not necessarily at the same time. Because this monkey may have a temper but DAMN was that Too Far For No Good Reason. He's supposed to be better and look what he did >:( but if his mistake leads to MK doing terrible things, he cant let that happen, and as sweet as Wukong knows the kid to be, its not like MK would go back to being trained under Wukong after losing an EYE. Probably. Definitely.
MK's most likely response would probably be shock, some disbelief, and then resentment, but not vengeance. He might feel guilty for a while, because it was him who went behind his mentor's back, but he'd also realize (and Mac would tell him) that he didnt deserve to be half blind because of it. He'd want to avoid Wukong more than anything, but if Wukong did try to take his powers, he'd fight back - because he still has to protect the city and his friends - and that would only exacerbate things further.
I like to think Macaque would certainly be empathetic, and a bit sympathetic, but im pretty sure the sympathy would be buried under the frustrating righteousness of MK not even trying to get back at Wukong. But hey, if MK begged him to train again (with less trust than before, but he doesnt have Monkey King anymore...) and Macaque actually agreed (probably trying to take the opportunity to convince the kid to share his power with Macaque or have MK fight Wukong with him) then... thats an opportunity for hesitant bonding time :)
For example: living with One Eye!! eh.... it's disorienting, your depth perception is suddenly gone (but kind of there through context clues), if your eye isnt healed yet you get headaches from moving around too much and sometimes from your other eye straining to pick up the pace (i cant remember the stuff i know about this), you may or may not have to sleep upright for a while - stuff i havent researched because if i click off my tumblr app my phone lacks the RAM to keep it open in the background. Fighting is harder, walking is harder, driving is harder. You have a literal blind spot and it's a little terrifying, especially when you dont notice someone is there. You ever do that embarrassing thing where you lift a utensil to your mouth and miss for no good reason (i do that with two eyes)? Macaque may have some tips to help adjust and a greater understanding than everyone else around MK, and thats always nice. Im pretty sure Macaque would encourage MK to use his ears more, especially on the blind side, even if it's easier for the Six Eared Macaque to do that than the two-eared MK.
But man.. the fight between Wukong and MK would be such a hit to MK's already bruised ego. Wukong would admit to his own terrible mistake, but he probably wouldnt even give MK a chance to (maybe not forgive but) move on from what was done because he'd probably shamefully assume he didnt, and then IMMEDIATELY proceed to demand MK renounce his staff and powers and MK is like >:O "NO!!! I- I need these to protect the city!" And Wukong is like "well sure, yeah, but I'll be taking care of that. We cant have you misusing your powers." And MK is all "But I havent been misusing them?? I've literally been kicking demon butt while you were hiding all the way at your mountain or disappearing wherever you want in the world or doing absolutely nothing to help the city." And Wukong is like "You've been watching the island??" When it's more like Macaque was and just telling MK about it because MK wanted to know whenever Wukong was in town so he could hide and Wukong gets all defensive before MK can talk like "Of course you were. Scheming with your new mentor, right?" And MK is like "No??? I didn't- I wouldnt DO that-" and Wukong interrupts with "just like you didnt do it before?" When he KNOWS that MK didnt purposefully work with Macaque the first time but he's getting defensive okay??
Id love to end the ensuing fight with Wukong getting genuinely angry again and that trips up and scares MK BUT. Wukong manages to hold back. He's not there to hurt the kid again, he's there to stop him from hurting himself and anyone else. Which is a bit ironic, because MK's friends most definitely joined in on the fight and got DEMOLISHED, but they're not missing any eyes (or limbs for that matter) and that makes MK SO relieved yet guilty that they'd been put in that kind of danger to begin with. But Wukong definitely made use of MK's blind spot and that definitely hurts, actually, but is also infuriating.
Oh wait how do i end this where the hell is Macaque.
Macaque kept out for the most part, feeling it was necessary to have this play out. Not that it was exactly easy... but he does yoink the kid out of there when Wukong corners him and very nearly takes his powers. And if any little MKs were in denial of just how far Wukong would go to do what he thinks is right (no matter how wrong he is), the good news is that Wukong had to remove the limiting seal on MK's powers that made him less than immortal first, and that achieved two things: 1) MK saw for himself Wukong reaching inside of him to rip out the best defense he has for the city and his friends, and 2) MK's powers remain unlocked when Macaque yoinks him out of there. And so commences the comfort portion of the hurt/comfort that this entire thing seems to be. I always like to think that Macaque is rather awkward when it comes to reassurances. He seems like a guy better at throwing out the harsh, twisted truth and a guy good at giving out platitudes, but he tries.
After that fight, MK and Macaque both realize that the King isn't going to let this go. Before Wukong showed up, MK had a choice between fighting with Macaque and hiding for a little longer, but now he doesn't even have a choice. It's fight or lose.
#lego monkie kid#lmk au#mistakes have been made and i love all of them#THE CHARACTERS I LOVE THE CHARACTERS#but also the mistakes#ah wait this entire thing is starting to sound familiar#sigh. it's just like my fic#its just like my OTHER AU but with a few key differences#sorry for holding off on answering this for a moment because i KNEW id go into full idea mode and needed to be awake for thar#maybe in the end Wukong offers MK a choice between getting his eye back or fighting Wukong to keep his powers#and MK is like but i NEED THESE#and Wukong is all no you DONT. I GOT the city#And MK is all why are you doing this?? just leave me alone#and Wukong just apologizes. he doesnt feel the need to explain nor wants the kid to affirm his suspicions#and mk is tired of being half blind and he knows wukong sucks but he has been protecting the city at that point#and maybe he can get his eye back. stop feeling worried for his friends. maybe get Macaque's eye back?#Macaque would be so prideful and distrustful as to turn it down though and MK knows that#maybe he shouldnt trust Monkey King. The guy who apparently hasn't changed at all from the books. not really

I-I can take care of my own wounds thank you very much!!
Your petty tricks wont work on me.. To be perfectly frank I still dont entirely trust you.. I think you should've been tormented worse than that lying bastard...
Y-YOU WORSHIPPED A GODDESS WHO MADE US KILL EACHOTHER!!! I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH RIGHTS TO BE MAD!!!!
That stupid game.. Kamakura.. The servant.. The WOH all of it... Entire bullcrap... I only put up with those brats because Omaru does...
Y-You may have the others wrapped around your chubby little fingers, but I'm not falling for it..
T-Toko nows not the time for-
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE PAIN YOU AND THOSE PESKY LITTLE BRATS PUT OMARU THROUGH!!! SHE WAS SEVENTEEN AND WAS BEING HUNTED!!! WATCHING PEOPLE DIE LEFT AND RIGHT!!! FROM AOIS BROTHER TO CHIHIROS DAD!!! YOU, NAGITO, MONACA, AND ALL THE OTHER WARRIORS AND REMNANTS CAN BURN IN FUCKING HELL!!!
Omaru deserves better than to be around such horrible people.. Until you prove yourself a worthy dumb bitch.. Stay the hell away from Omaru and me!!
THAT MEANS OUT!!! OUT OUT OUT!!!!!!
*Safalin quickly grabbed Yayoi and rushed out.*
I-I'm so so so sorry for Tokos behavior.. I had no idea she'd have a breakdown like that... She can get emotional very quickly... But I never knew she still hasnt forgiven the WOH.. That's a shock even I wasnt expecting... But its not your fault... Actually it kinda is... But deep down she knows you're trying.. She just has major trust issues. I'm sure she'll warm up to you soon... And are you alright? After that fight Syo got you pretty good... I also took medical training so I can help with the injuries.
It's no problem Safalin. Apart of me was wondering when that would come up. I understand if she doesn't trust me like the others have. I'm actually kind of surprised they did. With everything I did, I'm honestly shocked with the treatment I received. As for my wounds I can handle them myself.

THIRTEENTH CHAPTER: The Agreement
Jungwon walked back home that night instead of using his vampire powers. He wanted to spend as much time as he could outside rather than returning home.
Receiving your text a small smile appeared on his face, I'm home, did you reach safely? Goodnight Jungwon!
Jungwon's happiness was you. He adored you. Every single memory he had with you replayed everytime he was sad and instantly made him happy. He liked you, he was sure. Loved you? Well yes he did fall in love with you. If he had to describe love all he could think of would be you and that's how he was sure. Somehow being in love and receiving your love made him stronger.
With all his vague thoughts Jungwon reached home or what for him was hell.
Yoonjae was waiting outside the huge door and walked towards jungwon upon seeing him. "They wont agree right?" He asked.
"I dont know" said Jungwon.
Pushing open the huge door a whole room full of people turned their heads to look at Yoonjae and Jungwon, both looking exhausted.
"Jungwon dear you're back!" Said Jungwon's mother walking towards him with a fake bright smile.
The Rakahs were inside Jungwon's house and his parents were being all nice and friendly. It annoyed him so much.
The Rakahs and the Yangs had always had rivalry. Jungwons great grandfather had befriended a Rakah who was the one he had to defeat to save his love Esmeralda. Since then the Rakahs have always had some bad blood with the Yangs. The Rakahs just like the Yangs were a hunter type vampire, but more cold and ruthless.
And now those cold, ruthless vampires were in Jungwon's house. Weren't they supposed to be enemies?
"What's going on?" Jungwon questioned his mother.
"We've come up with an agreement" said Altari's father, the current head Rakah.
Agreement? What are they even talking about.
"I dont seem to understand. Mother why are they here?" Asked Jungwon, his brows furrowed.
"Now now Jungwon, calm down, the adults have already declared. So you may not intervene" said one of the Rakahs.
"The Rakahs will hunt in our area now" explained Jungwons mother.
Jungwon was in disbelief. Were his parents hypnotized or something? Giving their rivals their territory?
"Why?" Asked Jungwon.
"Your boy sure does want to know it all" said the head Rakah laughing.
"Why does it matter to you huh, you dont even hunt?" Said Altari walking out of the crowd.
"Because it's our territory and we dont let people take our territory that easily and especially not you shit-eaters" said jungwon walking towards Altari fiercely making his shoulders look even broader.
"Jungwon! Language." Said his father, while the Rakahs looked clearly offended.
"Well in that case why dont I tell everyone about that human girl you love" Altari said with a disgusting smirk.
Everyone in the room turned their heads towards Jungwon. His parents were just as shocked. They weren't supposed to know, no one was. Who knows what would they do if they knew about you
A cold bead of sweat dropped of Jungwon's face. The tension he felt, did he just risk your life?
"Stop talking non sense Altari. You should probably stop making up stories in your head" said Min Chae, the mysterious girl from your school who was oddly close with Jungwon. Min Chae was a Rakah but she was like the Jungwon in her family, trying to stop the toxic acts. That's why she got along with Jungwon.
"I'm not making this up, he just punched the shit out of my for her." Said Altari getting defensive.
"What are you talking about man?" Asked Yoonjae letting out a scoff.
And suddenly Altari forgot what he was talking about, almost zoning out. Jungwon quickly realized that it was Min Chae's powers that made him forgot about the past incident and what he was talking about. Min Chae could hear very well, even the softest murmur and she had the unique ability to make someone forget about a certain thing of her choice.
Ignoring Altari, everyone began to leave the Yang mansion. Jungwon stood still with Yoonjae by his side. His parents greeted off the Rakahs and turned to him.
"I hope you're in the right mind" said Jungwons mother.
"No, I hope you both are in the right mind" Jungwon reverted back.
"That's enough Jungwon, you are noone to talk about this. We make the decisions here" said his father.
"Yeah and all of them are wrong, I wont let the Rakahs hunt here"
"How will you even stop them, huh? Listen here, we both know Min Chae did something to Altari to stop talking but I can smell that scent from miles. If all this rubbish is for a girl, you better let it go. If not the Rakahs will most definitely get her." Said his mother coming closer towards Jungwon and looking him straight in the eye.
Upon hearing all the bullshit that happened today, Jungwon walked upstairs to his room with Yoonjae.
"Fuck!" Yelled Jungwon, exhausted. His parents had left for 'work' again. He sat on his bed his elbow on his knees and face buried in his palms.
Yoonjae after awkwardly staring at Jungwon spoke up after giving him enough time to let put his emotions. "So what are you gonna do about Y/N?"
"What do you mean?"
"No like wouldn't she be in danger now that the Rakahs are going to hunt here. Did you really mean it when you said you wont let them hunt here?"
After taking an odd pause, Jungwon began, "yes, I dont know how but I wont let them kill anyone and as about Y/N, I cant stop loving her"
"So we protect her." Said Yoonjae nodding in agreement.
