25 Life Lessons I've Learned In 25 Years
In honor of turning 25 this month, here are some lessons I wish someone could've baked into my brain by 18. Hope this helps xx
Putting yourself first is not selfish, it is an act of self-care. Actively discounting others is not the same as protecting your peace.
Pay attention to who gossips and keeps to themselves amidst an interpersonal conflict. Insecure people or those in the wrong will speak the loudest and go on the longest in a fight to prove their innocence. Individuals who are self-assured and comfortable with the truth know it's better to communicate their feelings appropriately and then move past it. Confidence is assertive, tactful, and relatively silent.
If you want to know who to believe in an argument, pay attention to how both sides speak about the conflict. The perpetrator will often speak about the individuals' character/morality while the victim will explain their personal experience in the context of the relevant situation.
Display empathy and consideration, but don't live to satisfy others' emotional needs and expectations. Say farewell to anyone who dismisses or guilts you for your own needs, emotions, priorities/life goals & aspirations.
Your needs matter. No one needs to approve or validate your desires. If someone feels they have control over you or tries to persuade you to change your mind to ensure you put their emotions and needs first, cut them out of your life. They do not care about you.
Almost no one deserves insider access into your life and mind. Upholding your right to privacy – especially regarding your finances, dating life, health conditions/concerns, and long-term goals – is the simplest way to protect your peace.
A friend to all is a friend to none. Be wary of those who will not stand up for you behind closed doors. These people do not care about you, they care about what your place in their life does for them and their ego.
Be radically honest and accepting of who you are. Don't apologize for your preferences, aspirations, and values. You deserve to live in a way that makes you happy, not to appease others in hopes of their approval or future favors due to your karmic good deeds.
You deserve happiness, love, and nice things, life experiences, relationships, and opportunities in your life regardless of what others may or may not possess/ be able to experience. Dispel this scarcity mindset ASAP. Jealousy and internalized shame are destructive to your self-esteem and all your relationships.
You are worthy and offer many incredible, unique gifts to the world. Don't allow naysayers, critics, or bullies (of any age) to dim your light or sacrifice pursuing your dreams. Decide you're the leader of your own life. Then act accordingly.
Direct communication is always the way. Remain tactful, but at least when dealing with non-manipulative people, always say what you mean and mean what you say. It will save a lot of trouble and petty disagreements that could've been avoided with clearer communication.
You don't owe anyone an explanation for your feelings, emotions, and actions that don't have a direct, inescapable impact on someone else. "No" is a complete sentence.
Approach conversations as a meeting of the minds. Healthy debate or conflict is about seeking to understand the other person, not prove yourself right. Leaving your ego at the door will allow you to expand your mind and avoid many unnecessary conflicts or arguments.
If it's not a hell yes, it's a no. For a job, date, sex, attendance at a time-sucking social event, family gatherings, an informal meeting not essential for you to keep your job, a wedding, birthday party, holiday invitation, etc. Outside of your contracted hours and time necessary to keep yourself/your home clean & well-maintained, you should spend your time exactly as you please. Doing things you don't want to do will only breed resentment down the line toward yourself and others.
Detangle yourself from any who refuses to self-reflect and take accountability. This person is selfish and will never see you as fully human with emotions, needs, and a complete life/internal world of your own. Cut them out (or at least fully emotionally detach and limit contact with them) immediately.
Speak your truth, but always say a little less than you feel necessary. Overexplaning and oversharing do you no favors. At a minimum, this approach allows you to protect your peace. In the worst circumstances, this tactic can also save you from a lot of trouble in your personal or professional life.
Learn to ask for a little more than you're comfortable with, but do so with grace, tact, and confidence. Whether it's a salary/rate negotiation, flight/hotel/restaurant accommodations, get in the habit of making that slightly higher/up-leveled request like you're expecting a "yes." You can't get something you don't ask for, so speak up and show you know your worth. This habit can bring a lot of great opportunity into your life and builds up your confidence.
Everyone is on their own timeline and path. Don't compare yourself to others' credentials, job titles, relationship status, net worths, or jean sizes. Comparison is truly the thief of joy. Remaining envious of others only takes up the energy that could otherwise be used to elevate or enrich your life.
Become clear on your priorities, and remain diligent with your habits & routines. Set SMART goals. Implement healthy habits and rituals into your daily lifestyle. Be consistent with goal-supporting and wellness rituals (generous sleep schedule, healthful eating habits, daily movement/regular exercise, reading, task time-blocking, cleaning, and life/work admin schedule), so they become second nature. Help yourself by creating these default habits to ensure your brain is wired for success whether you're in an easygoing era or a stressful life season.
Stop seeing other people (especially other women) as your competition in your profession/dating life and within your platonic relationships. Use your immediate criticisms as a tool for self-reflection. Actively deconstruct the patriarchy in every aspect of your life. Other women coworkers, dating prospects, and friends are not your rivals nor individuals who should be evaluated based on their assertiveness, sexual history/appeal, relationship status, or desire to perform traditional maternal/domestic roles.
Understanding how to interact with others in a cordial, tactful manner is significantly more important than having everyone like you. Learn how to positively influence people without seeking approval. What other people think of us is none of our business. All we can do is show up as the best version of ourselves, and remain optimistic about a potential connection.
Acceptance, accountability, and consistent discipline are the holy trinity to creating a sustainable change that you can maintain for the long haul. There's no shame in starting from the bottom, but you need to be honest about where you're at, so you can create a realistic game plan/small behavior-changing habits that stack up over time to help you implement the radical change you're craving.
Let go of any internalized shame. Being the "good girl" does you no favors in life. Set a standard and expectation to be respected, not to be perceived as "innocent" or submissive – this is how you get taken advantage of in professional, platonic, and intimate relationships. Remain ravenous for respect. It's the only way to live life to the fullest.
24. Investing in your appearance is a form of self-respect. Wanting to look & feel your best and present yourself in the best light possible to others is not a superficial pursuit. Remain unwavering about your hygiene/beauty/grooming routines, deliberate styling choices, healthy eating & workout habits, and mindfulness of social graces. You're your #1 publicist, so act like it. Life is all about embracing satisfaction with a sprinkle of reputation management.
25. Be unapologetic about your financial ambitions, priorities, investments, savings goals, etc. Financial freedom IS freedom. The only way to change the system is to break it from the inside out. Leverage is everything. Allocate, and assert your (financial) power wisely.

Hi, I'm Xiao/burningrqs. this post is going to be long. Posting this from a burner so that it doesn't go down the drain when we deactivate.
But essentially, this is an apology to the radqueer community for multiple different things. I'm going to do my best to type this out as well as possible, and I apologize if I miss anything or word things poorly. I am going to explain myself to the best of my abilities, but please keep in mind that my explanations do not excuse my actions by any means.
Post under the cut.
for those who don't want to read it though, TL;DR: I was a complete asshole and I'm genuinely very sorry about it.
So, I want to start off by apologizing in general for the "burning radqueers" thing. Not only was it just not funny, but it was also really weird. I know damn well that if I saw someone pop up with a "burningmogais" blog or something, I would be pissed. So I don't know what made me think that running burningradqueers was a good idea in any sense.
My rude and dehumanizing comments did not help. Regardless of how I view people, what disorders I have, or how symptoms present themselves, it was disgusting of me to act as though I can't be held accountable for my cruelty towards others.
The targeted posts were even worse, and allowing people to just pick a random blog to "burn" was teetering on harassment. It put the user in front of so many people who clearly did not have good intentions towards them, and inherently put the user being "burnt" in danger. I wish I noticed that fact sooner. Even if I disagreed with people or didn't like them for whatever reason, I still should not have felt as though I had the right to post stuff like that.
Adding onto that, I should have never used my ASPD as an excuse for anything. I tend to get defensive when I feel insulted, which is what happened, and I decided to bite back despite being in the wrong. I acted impulsively and out of pure anger, and then tried to defend it, which I shouldn't have. When saying the kinds of things I did, I am open to criticism whether I like that fact or not, and trying to act as though I am immune to that criticism because of a disorder was disgusting on my part.
Another thing, somewhat on a similar note, is that an apology is owed for my hostility in general. Every time it was even lightly suggested I was wrong, I seemed to lash out and get angry. This really just comes down to me needing to learn to admit my wrongs. I should not have made my inability to understand my wrongdoings anyone else's problem.
Then there's also the things I said when I lashed out before deciding to drop burningradqueers entirely. I don't fully remember all of what I said as the event happened during an episode (this does not excuse my words at all by the way. regardless of my state at the time, what I said wasn't okay and should not be excused) and the posts have since been deleted. But, I do remember at one point making harassment out to be a competition of sorts when someone was simply trying to calmly explain to my why the namedropping was not a good move. I can't for the life of me remember why I did that, but I am very sorry about it. A lot of people in the radqueer community have been harassed (and likely do still get harassed constantly), and for me to act like I am the only victim of harassment was wrong on multiple levels.
I'm sure there was a lot of bad stuff I said during that episode, but as I said, I do not remember most of it. I'm sorry that I can't apologize for the specific things I said, but I am apologizing for the situation as a whole.
The entire thing started over me not being able to handle much deserved criticism, and I stood "my ground" despite having absolutely no ground to stand on.
I started burningradqueers over baseless hatred. I didn't know why I was supposed to hate radqueers, or what I was even really hating. I joined the anti community thinking that it is much easier to just move with the pack and hate what everyone else seems to hate, but hatred really isn't that easy. It's exhausting. And realizing how much the anti community really wouldn't want me if I was honest about things made me realize that. Realizing that there are so many antis who would rather see us suffer forever due to dysphoria than see us live happily after getting amputations was rough, and honestly kinda gave me a taste of what radqueers have to deal with every single day, and it felt horrible.
Without realizing it, I managed to do so much damage to a community full of people who deal with exactly the same things I do, a community that is mostly traumatized and mentally ill people who are just trying to get by. Not even just that, but genuinely just people trying to exist and be honest about themselves.
It is not my place to dictate what is and isn't valid in terms of someone's personal identity, and even more, it's not okay for me to treat a whole community like garbage just because I didn't understand it.
Again, I do not want my actions to be excused. I treated people horribly and was a total dick, but I hope that me apologizing can at least make some of you feel better about how I behaved.

Idk who needs to hear this but... you're allowed to make things easier for yourself. You're allowed to half-ass things. You don't have to do things the way you're 'supposed' to. Yeah, you should be doing everything completely, but if you can't do that, then doing some things partly is still better than doing totally nothing.
You can sit down while doing the dishes. You can have wash baskets and trash cans in every room in your house. You can brush your teeth for twenty seconds. You can buy kiddie tooth paste. You can brush your teeth at any time of day. You can get yourself a rubber duck. You can get yourself a huge IKEA shark if you want to. You can leave the curtains closed and your bed unmade. You can shower at any temperature that's comfortable to you. You can shower with the lights off. You can shower long. You can shower short. You can cover the mirrors. You can shower in bathing clothes. You can even shower in normal clothes if it'll make you feel better. You can shower without soap. You can just use soap on the places that need it most. If touching any one part of yourself triggers you, you don't have to wash it. You can sit down while you shower. You can wear the same clothes for a week. You can decide your outfits days before you wear them. You don't have to brush your hair. You don't have to take off your shoes at the door. You can rip out the tags of new clothes.
You can add and remove whatever it is that'll make things easier and less triggering for you, even if it seems silly. Even if it only helps a little. Even if you 'should be doing it better'. You don't owe people as much as you think you do. You don't owe anyone your prettiness, your dedication. Having a mental illness or a disability is hard. Most people don't understand that, but guess what? You don't owe them an explanation. You don't have to conform to neurotypical standards of 'good'. Your depression standard of 'good enough' is allowed to be less than that.
Seeing as this got more attention than I thougght it would, I need to add; I know there's other factors. I know you can't always afford to get yourself a huge IKEA shark, I know you don't always have time to shower for forty minutes, I know sometimes you get less tips/work if you don't look pretty. The point here isn't the details, it's the mindset of the fact that the details don't matter. A job doesn't always have to be well-done, in fact, a half-done job gets you half the way there.
(I wrote this with neurodivergent/mentally ill people in mind, but a lot of this also goes for disabled people so I'll also tag that. If that's like, ableist, in any way, please tell me and I'll fix it!!! I just wanna be helpful but I know that that doesn't always mean I am)

So, full disclosure
chapter 16 of the path from you has been hanging over my head for months and i think most of you have guessed why... for those who haven't or who are curious to know more about why it's taking so long, i've decided to be pretty open and candid below the cut. there aren't any outright spoilers but more just an explanation about the process i've been going back and forth on since.... february ?? (ffs)
this isn't directly in response to that anon from last night but they did make a valid point that i have been promising an update and failing to deliver so, if you're wondering why, keep reading
i very much realize that this is my hobby, and i do it for fun, and i don't owe anyone an explanation but i still feel like i can give one anyway. most of you have probably guessed that the next 3-4 chapters of the path from you are harry and ginny reaching their boiling points and finally having it out (in more ways than one)
my problem has been that i have a very specific order of events in my head about how it should all unfold but everytime i sit down to write, harry and ginny jump ahead three chapters and start ruining all my plans. i think they, and i, are ready for some conversations to start happening, however, if they break one wall, then they all come crashing down and to be honest, i'm a little bit attached to what i've already written in 17-18-19 to truly be able to blow it all up again.
now, with that being said, i also think i've gotten to the point where i know it's time for some reconciliation. unfortunately, my ego/pride/self-confidence is getting in the way a little bit because, in my opinion, a well-executed emotional payoff separates a good writer from a great one, and in the spirit of full honesty, i want to be great.
this version of harry and ginny, and all of you who have stuck with me for this long, have earned a damn good moment and i really *really* want it to be the best possible unfolding of events it can be. full of heart and vulnerability and passion.
the people that i talk to almost everyday about this fic (@narukoibito, @fairsquare16, @corneliaavenue-ao3, @herblazinglook, @ginwhisky, @brightlybound, & @valfromcall) can tell you that i have been laboring and struggling and agonizing over this chapter for months. this is not something i take lightly and this fic means a whole lot to me in a lot of really personal ways, so i have been taking a massive amount of time getting us to where we are because i want to get it right. i want harry and ginny's reasons for ending up where they are to feel honest and i want their resolution to feel cathartic. and maybe this is where i'm crippling myself, by trying to make it perfect, but dammit HARRY AND GINNY DESERVE PERFECT
thank you to everyone who reached out last night and over the past few weeks with love and encouragement and support. you guys mean more to me than you will ever know. any good vibes you can throw my way while i write tonight would be much appreciated. chapter 16 is close. i had a revelation a couple nights ago about why i kept getting stuck so hopefully this newfound direction will finally get us to the finish line.
i guess i'll end by saying this, if ever you are curious about what i'm working on or what's coming up next or why an update is taking so long, just ask. i am an open book. i swear i'm not intentionally holding out on you. and if i promise an update and come back a few days later saying its not ready yet, please remember that i am trying to put out the best possible version of my stories and i am just as disappointed as you are that i'm not updating.
as always, thanks for reading and for allowing me the space to create this version of h/g's love story.

i'm just gonna make a quick post about what went down the other night instead of answering all the asks i got that were basically the same thing, just said slightly differently.
aka this is about colby's love life (and also technically sam's) lol
yes, i saw the pic that colby posted of him and m.
do i think they're dating? i'm not sure. i'm not colby or m so i don't really get to make that call. my best guess is maybe they're heading in the direction of serious, or maybe they're just a fling still. colby probably feels comfortable posting her strictly for the fact that he knows everyone saw the other pics, so there's no point in hiding something like that.
if you are genuinely upset that he has a gf/fuck buddy/whatever they are, considering getting a hobby outside of snc. stop being upset that they are dating someone that either a, you don't approve of or b, is not you. bc even tho a lot of you would never admit it, you're upset bc colby is dating someone that isn't you bc you think you deserve to be his gf. but you don't. colby doesn't know who the fuck you are. i don't care how many times colby has noticed you, or talked to you, or whatver. he doesn't know you and you are not owed an explanation for why he does what he does. sorry to be the one to break that news to you.
and colby is allowed to share whatever he wants with us. he can ask for privacy and still post some stuff. privacy doesn't equate to never mentioning that person ever again or showing them off. that's not how that works. privacy means don't go digging for extra things. privacy means us not knowing everything going on bts. that also means us not knowing whether or not him and m are serious. if he wants to tell us, he will. if he doesn't, accept that. and stop pestering him.
and i mean this seriously: some of you should seriously consider reevaluating whether or not you even like snc. bc the way some of you talk about snc, i don't see how you can call yourself a fan if all you do is call them names and shit on them for having lives you're not a part of. and tbh, i don't want to hear anyone say "but you said you didn't like the girls either so you're no better". first off, i said it once, on a platform they don't use. that is much different than those that go on twitter an @ them every time they feel slightly inconvenienced. and secondly, my opinion has changed. i realized that maybe i jumped the gun on them possibly being clout chaser or users or whatever. i truly don't think they are at this point. but if they are, that's snc's problem. not mine. and if they aren't, awesome. it's that simple.
snc's love lives shouldn't be an issue to you. you aren't involved with them. you aren't their mothers. stop caring about what they do. you wanna have fun and kiki like the rest of us? chill the fuck out.
and obviously, if none of this applies to you, then don't get upset over it. but if you think that maybe this is about you, it is :)

How to avoid drama
The TSP fandom is not without its drama and cliques, which every fandom eventually crosses into.
You can avoid it and you should avoid it if you're not a part of it. It doesn't need to ruin your roleplaying experience.
You don't have to side with people, whether they're your mutuals or not. A lot of drama posts demand you interact or reblog to "prove" you're on the good side or to "spread the word" against the 'awful person' they're attacking, but more often than not, drama posts are just meant to bully people without actually protecting anyone.
Suddenly your dash is full of two sides arguing and you might even get angry anons in your inbox asking why you're siding with someone or calling you names.
Some tips to help you steer clear of it are
don't believe he said/she said posts (i.e: posts that just have statements like this person is toxic and you shouldn't write with them)
avoid call out posts. 99% you won't get all of the information anyway and if you don't know what's going on, that's all the more reasons to not get involved
block urls and tags that make you upset or uncomfortable (info below)
delete anons that try to get a rise out of you or turn off anons. You can also turn off messages and replies from non-mutuals (tumblr.com/settings/blog/yourblogurl)
don't let mutuals bully you into choosing a side. if someone demands you side with them or they will block/unfollow you, they're probably not worth keeping around
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BLOCK AND UNFOLLOW FOR ANY REASON. YOU DON'T OWE ANYONE ANY EXPLANATIONS. PERIOD.
NO one, no matter how close they are, are allowed to make you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or insulted. If they disrespect your boundaries, they are not a good friend.
What if this person is said to be a pedophile/groomer?
If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, you can block them! But again, keep in mind that he said/she said posts are not proof. If there's concrete evidence that someone is grooming or preying on minors, that's another story.
Note: I've been roleplaying since 2014 and the only time there was a groomer warning was for a fandomless blog that only briefly interacted with TSP blogs.
How do I blacklist urls/tags?
Go to Settings → Account → Scroll down to Content You See. When you filter a post or an url, Tumblr will block that post with a warning label.
Official Tumblr Article
What if I don't like that person?
Unfollow, block, soft block, it's your choice. You don't need to help harass anyone.
I'm scared to lose my partners if I don't agree with them / I don't want to lose a friendship / My friend is more important than this stranger they dislike
In the end it's your decision but if your friend is pressuring you to side with them in an argument with the threat of losing their friendship (whether spoken or unspoken), you have to decide for yourself if that's a relationship worth keeping around.
Especially since a) there's no telling if this will be the last time they demand this from you and b) they might turn on you if they decide you did something wrong.
This person writes problematic content / has a rude or hateful OC / tried to kill my character / has fucked up plots / uses a face claim I don't like / writes for a fandom I dont like / writes toxic or abusive ships / etc.
Absolutely none of these give you the greenlight to bully someone or help others bully them. You control your own experience. If you don't like a character, don't interact with them. If you don't like a plot, tell your partner you want to write another one. Something they write triggers you? Blacklist the tag or unfollow.
You are not a knight in shining armor if you get upset at something and decide to try and harass someone off the platform.
Roleplaying is fiction. None of these plots affect any real life people. If it triggers you, you can take the necessary steps to prevent yourself from seeing it.

The Refugee: Chapter 15
Masterlist Link
The next day Magnus and Lenora sat on a parapet along the rocky coast. Loki was feeling particularly generous today after their night together, so when she said she needed to be allowed out of the keep to take a walk and clear her head he gladly let her, provided Magnus came with her. Magnus for his part was grateful for this too, anxious to know how she was after her strange evening. They layered themselves in thick clothes against the cold, although the icy bite of winter was slowly subsiding, into a gray, foggy, dampness that might have passed for early spring. They sat together in the intermittent fog, catching sight of the seascape in fleeting moments.
“I'd almost forgotten the outside world really existed after all this time in the citadel. The view from the windows just began to feel like a painting after so long.”
He put his arm around her shoulder. “Well, hopefully he'll let this at least become a more regular occurrence. The training grounds and arboretums aren't a substitute are they? But if he intends to make you his queen as he says you'll be able to travel to dozens of realms, learn all sorts of things. You might even be able to steer this great ship of an empire to actual benevolence instead of...well...instead of whatever the hell it is now.”
She shook her head, conflicted and exhausted. “I can't think about that right now, Magnus. I can't wrap my head around any of this.”
“I'm sorry. That was a tactless attempt to cheer you up with overbearing optimism.” She snickered at that. There was a heavy pause.
“How are you feeling after...well...everything yesterday. Are you in pain?”
She smiled. He was always an eager giver, a selfless healer, a physician to the core. “Yes. I'm in some pain, but the normal kind of pain a woman expects after...” she looked down. “But he didn't do anything really violent. Not like that first day on the ship. He managed not to be a sadist or selfish. He was actually very kind, so at least there's that. I worry about how it will be once he gets more comfortable though.”
“Was it terrible?”
“Not all of it. Not most of it, if I'm being honest. I almost wish it had been terrible so I could be less confused. I feel...guilty...Magnus. I enjoyed it. I gave in.”
“Lea, look at me. Whatever pleasure or happiness you can get from this bizarre situation, you should. I would much prefer that to the suffering he can inflict. And just because you felt pleasure, that doesn't mean you consented.”
“But I did, Magnus, eventually I did...enthusiastically. And...I'm so confused.” He hugged her shoulders a little tighter.
“Hey..hey...it's alright! Whatever you did is fine. You don't owe me or anyone an explanation. He loves to make people uncertain...to muddy the water. Whatever is happening within you, whatever you feel about it or him, is okay.” He held her hand tightly, waiting for the lost words in her throat to make their way out. After a moment, they did.
“It's just that...it was a gift I wanted to give to you, Magnus. I wanted you to be the first, but maybe you wouldn't have wanted that with me. I don't know, but I wish I had the option to choose for myself. Yet again, I was a coward, letting someone more powerful than me steer the important decisions of my life.”
He hugged her tightly, the bright forest of his eyes dewy with tears.
“Of course I would have wanted it! I would have been honored. It's not like I haven't thought about it or you that way. I'm not a god among men or a king but I do love you Lea, far beyond just wanting you.”
“I love you too, Magnus,” she said screwing her eyes shut as the wind of the sea and a cold sadness whipped at her face. “I love you beyond lust, or family, or friendship. I love you in a way that I cannot fully express.”
“Thank you, Lea. I know what you mean and I feel the same.”
“I'm sorry we never got to know what it could have been.”
“So am I, Lea. But don't be sorry. It's not your fault. I'm still here, and I still love you and I'm honored to know you love me.” He came out of the hug to tug her heavy shawl a little tighter around her and run his hands over her shoulders. He was still crying, mourning all their lost possibilities. He sniffed and laughed, “I've always cried too much, but I haven't seen you cry once. I'm such a baby.”
She gave a weak sad smile. “Most people cry more than I do, Magnus. I wish I could do it more...cry, scream...anything. Sometimes I'm jealous of how Loki can just rage. I wonder what it's like. Instead I just tend to disappear.”
“You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, or can't but...Do you love him?”
She sighed, “I don't know, Magnus. I know I hate him, but there's a part of me that can't help but care about him. Part of my heart breaks for his emptiness and loneliness...relates to it. It's tragic because there's so much good in him, intelligence too, but everything he touches twists or withers or suffers or suffocates. The beautiful parts of him are so beautiful and the ugly parts are so so ugly.”
Magnus looked at her, just realizing something very important. “Funny. I could have said exactly the same thing about the way I love him...and hate him.”
---
As soon as they walked back over the drawbridge and through the enormous black granite entrance, Loki was there smiling to meet Lea, a gleeful ball of chaos contrasting his somber and imposing black keep. He ran towards her picking her up and spinning her around in his arms, like a lovesick boy, then set her down gently with a swift hard kiss and a big smile.
“Darling, did you enjoy the fresh air?”
She laughed a little under her breath in sheer shock at his openly affectionate behavior.
“What's the matter?”
“Well, doesn't this kind of behavior undermine your authority in front of others?”
He said, low and purring, “ Must you always be so sensible? I couldn't give less of a damn. Besides, I'm still terrifying when I'm enamored, perhaps more so” he said with a wink.
She glanced with a weak smile to Magnus, who looked as if he'd just come from a funeral to discover his house on fire, but he was no longer crying at least. She felt her stomach drop, seeing him so shattered. Loki still had one arm tight against her waist, too manic with joy to notice his best friend's plight. “Ouch! Loki, that hurts,” Lea said.
“Oh, I'm terribly sorry,” he said a bit sheepishly, releasing her. “Come with me! I have a surprise for you.” He walked with her down the hall rambling on about the book he was reading and the ideas he had. It wasn't a boring ramble. Loki was many things, but never boring. “Wait, where are we going?” he said suddenly. She had to laugh. It was a bit funny to see the king buzzing around her like a happy golden retriever.
“I'm going to hang my coat up in my quarters.”
“Oh nevermind that, I can do it for you,” he said waving a green glow around her so her coat dissolved, hopefully back to her quarters and not some void in space and time. He looked surprised to see that she was wearing her uniform underneath. “Why on earth are you in uniform?”
“Because I was planning to go work with the department. We're working on the Heksejotun problem and it's really difficult. I'd like to...”
“No no no. Not today, darling! You'll see,” he grabbed her hand, pulling her along.
She was both charmed and uncomfortable with how he was enthusiastically leading her. She would have liked to decide for herself today. She wanted some peace, some normalcy, but Loki was not known for either of those things. They came to a beautiful parlor and as soon as they passed the door frame, Lea's eyes lit up. Before her was a familiar form of tall buxom curves and perfectly styled golden curls. Her luxurious peach-pink dress fanned out as she stood up and rushed toward Lea, holding her firmly in her arms.
“Miss Beatrice!” She gasped in shock. “I was so worried. You never wrote back.I never heard from you!”
Bea was beaming at her former charge with pride, “My god, look at you Lea, my love. How official and scholarly you look, in that uniform, holding your head so high! I would hardly know my little barmaid.”
“Bea, I never heard from you,” she repeated. “Did you get my message from Lo...His Majesty...all those months ago?”
Bea and Loki shared a chilly gaze until Loki broke the silence. “I sent her your message, Lea, but I told her not to write back. I didn't want it to interfere with your adjustment.”
She wanted to slap him. So she decided instead to ignore him, which would hurt him even more. She turned again to Beatrice. “I told everyone that you were just fine, and employed by the empire now. The girls, the regulars, hell, the whole town was thrilled that you were alive and well. Everyone misses the dancing girl of the tavern and the bookworm barmaid.”
She laughed shyly, “I had no idea I was such a celebrity.”
“You really were! And especially after you saved Noa from...well...from this røvhul. You were practically our patron saint!”
Lea looked incredibly uncomfortable at this praise. “Can we please change the subject? Have you trained up anyone for my job yet?”
“Yeah! Wee Rosie from the brothel. She's good...not as quick with the numbers as you were but she's learning.” Lea couldn't help but smile at this. She missed her sisters, her old home.
“That reminds me, Lea! Noa and his family send these, with their undying gratitude.”
Bea carefully handed her a colorful bag, decorated in the intricate geometric Morhari designs. Inside were several polished nuggets of the same blackish-purple ore of her necklace and earrings. Lea gasped, “Bea, I can't accept this."
Bea put her hand over Lea's holding it tightly, “You can. They want you to.”
“Thank you” Lea said quietly. “I don't know what else to say. And thank you for sailing all this way. These gifts...your presence...I don't deserve these.”
Loki interjected, saying with crisp theatricality, “You know, Bea, even this majestic royal røvhul has trouble getting her to accept gifts.”
Bea looked him up and down, annoyed with his interference in their moment. “You know I've never seen you out of your disguised form, Your Worship. Frankly, I like you better blond and a bit sun-kissed, less pale and weaselly. Pain in the ass, isn't he? And I've had to deal with him for centuries. At least when he conquered our village this time the governors are good, not those horrible men from the other cities.”
Lea looked with surprise to Loki. “You kept your word?”
“Do you really think so little of me? Of course I did. I couldn't have those barbarians destroying my empire's reputation.”
Bea looked at him knowingly, her wise gray eyes stripping through his pretense. “What has gotten into you?”
Loki avoided the real answer. “It's more of a 'what I've gotten into' situation, and apparently the answer is 'a gigantic undertaking of cleaning house for an entire empire'.”
“I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you two might just be changing each other for the better.”
Loki beamed. Lea smiled uncertainly.
---
Lea spent the day with Beatrice, and felt her heart break a bit as she saw the gorgeous statuesque women off that evening from the pier. She hugged her tightly and had trouble letting go.
“Take care of yourself and your girls, Bea. Give them all my love.”
“I will, dear. I promise.”
Loki came forward to kiss her hand and see her off properly. As he rose again she gripped his hand hard so that her long nails dug into his white skin. “Listen to me, Loki. You made me break a promise to that girl that she would never have to run away again. I can forgive you for that, but if you don't treat her properly and give her every single good thing she deserves, god-king or not, I will relieve you of your dagger...and I don't mean the one in your weapons cabinet.”
“I'll do better than that, Beatrice. I'm going to make her my queen.”
“Good. She'll be one of the great ones. ”
“And Beatrice....”
“Yes?”
“If you fulfill your threat, you'll need a bigger scabbard,” he said with a wink and a lazy turn.
“What was that all about?” Lea asked as Loki walked back her way, looking at the indentations of Bea's nails in his palm.
“That was your former boss being very protective of you.”
Lea only smiled, and ran her fingers over his skin in a soothing gesture. He pulled her close.
“Will you come to my chambers again this evening?” He whispered in her ear, honey-sweetly.
“I...I still hurt, Loki.”
“Ah...right. Sorry darling. Of course you need rest. We could at least dine together, have some wine on the ballroom balcony and look at the stars.”
“It's freezing, Loki.”
“Yes, and I'm a sorcerer. I can fix that.”
“Loki. I know you're excited about all of this, but everything is spinning for me. It's only been half a year and everything has changed so drastically and abruptly for me. I just need some time and peace. I need to have some solitude and do my work and...” she trailed off unable to find the words. She was afraid he'd be angry, like a child asked to put his new toy away for awhile, but he wasn't. He lifted her face in his hands, to meet his eyes.
“I understand. I know I'm...chaos. You must be exhausted.” He stroked her hair out of her face as the wind tossed it. “Whatever you need, whatever you want, I will see that it's yours.”
Aside from my freedom. She thought to herself.
“Time, Loki, time and peace. That's what I need for now.” He nodded and kissed her gently.
*a/n: røvhul means asshole in Danish.

You know I like to think of myself as a pretty open-minded person. Fanfiction, in my opinion, has always been about exploring whatever you find interesting within your fandom. You're allowed to write about anything that you want and if someone doesn't like it then they don't have to read it. But let me tell you, this mindset has been severely tested by some of the Quaritch content I've seen. I'm totally fine with fics that portray him as a villain and person at the same time because even bad guys brush their teeth and all that, but guys. He is not a good person. I want people exploring him as a villain, not as some redeemable or misunderstood person. That's not what anyone working on the movie intended for him. The way he destroyed Hometree without a second thought? The way he obeys a horrible corporation mindlessly? The way he rubbed Neteyam's death in Jake's face? The way he had literally no problem killing and hurting those around him in order to find Jake and his family? The deaths of hundreds of people both na'vi and human rest on his shoulders! You don't get to justify that with "oh, well he's just misunderstood".
I try and find the good in everyone but I just can't see anything good in this man. Anyone who causes the type of pain he caused and feels no guilt (or even worse: thinks that they're justified in their acts of hatred or that the other party are the people deserving of punishment) has no good in them. And that's okay! People are allowed to acknowledge a good bad guy, and I think Quaritch is pretty interesting as far as bad guys go and there is a lot of fic potential for that very focal point. But that's it. There is no excuse for his actions and no redemption in his future and the day karma finally catches up with him (again) will be the best day in movie history.
I am very curious as to what fandoms you've been a part of before if this is the first time you've seen this phenomenon. By that, I mean the phenomenon of a fandom excusing the actions of a (typically white and male) villain. I find it to be pretty common. To me, it's one of the scariest things in media and fandom today. I've made a ton of posts about it, but I like to call it the Darth Vader trope. The idea that one good act or one scene of past trauma can wipe a slate clean, with no regard for the systematic harm caused, no reparations, and no work done to actually change and evolve as a character. I find it to be a really dangerous thing to show. The idea that so many people can rally around these actions just being swept under the rug, that they will get mad at you for even reminding them they occurred, is really terrifying to me. Media does not exist in a vacuum, and if so many people are that eager to move past genocide in fiction? It is for parallel reasons so many do in real life.
Trauma is not an excuse, it is an explanation. Change is a long process, and with serious, real world issues such as the ones Quaritch represents, time and effort are owed to the marginalized groups affected. If Avatar is really supposed to be a movie inspired by the beauty of indigenous cultures and the horror of what happened and is still happening to them, then I think fans excusing Quaritch are really doing something quite disgusting in ignoring that.
(If you want to spend as much time freaked out by genocide as I do, Genocide Watch is the place for you! They don't have the US on alert rn, but they fucking should! Also they're a lOT Pro-Israel in their alert on that, but there aren't many places to keep up on current genocides sorry).
#sorry this got a little dramatic#not only is this one of my biggest pet peeves#but i've been feeling overwhelmed lately about the us's pretty crazily successful so far genocide against the trans community#we're at stage 8 i believe#miles quaritch#avatar#avatar the way of water#james cameron avatar#melissa's asks#melissa on avatar (cameron)

Who even knows their sexuality at 18?? A LOT of people. Most of us know from a very young age. Maybe people don’t like that argument of “ you don’t know your sexuality at 18” because it’s what’s use to gaslight us when we come out at an early age. Yes some people don’t know. But must of us do. And we’ve been paying the price since we were children. Yes people don’t owe anyone an explanation about their sexuality. But some people like the reassurance that their representation is authentic, especially when so many queer artists get overlooked for the more “marketable” option. Not trying to pick a fight here. Just something to consider.
For someone who "doesn't want to pick a fight" you sure sound aggressive pal.
I get the want for representation and for queer people to get cast in queer roles. But at the end of the day, the point remains that that's a real person we are talking about, a teenager, and he doesn't owe us anything. Being in the public eye doesn't magically remove his humanity, his right for privacy, his right not to get bullied, his right to figure himself out at his own pace.
Regarding figuring yourself out at a young age: if you always knew, that's amazing (no sarcasm, genuinely) but you can't forget that your experiences aren't universal and a lot of us don't figure ourselves out until well after our teens. Be that because of repression due to a bigoted environment or simply a lack of education on queerness or queer identities. And that doesn't even factor in that for a lot of us, sexuality is fluid and coming out that publicly will inevitably put someone in a box, a box that might not even apply. Maybe Kit doesn't use a label, maybe he hasn't found one that fit him beyond "I'm not straight" yet. Or maybe he just doesn't feel like he owes a bunch of invasive strangers anything at all. And all of these reasons would be valid. Because at the end of the day he is a human being, not a fictional character. It's lovely to watch other queer people strive, but they don't owe us any part of themselves that they are not willing to share with the world. It's their lives, not a plot in a TV show. Kit, or anybody else, is not responsible for giving people representation. Especially not when they are still so young.
At the end of the day, we don't know the first thing that is going on in these people's lives. I mean, just look at actors like Tyler Blackburn, Ronen Rubinstein or Chyler Leigh. The opportunity to play queer characters on TV gave them the strength and the courage to start loving themselves and their sexuality and gave them the strength to out themselves to the world eventually. Should they not have been casted because they weren't out when they were casted in their respective roles?
Should we tell actors and actresses "Either you come out on our terms or you can't work in a way that is right and healing for you"? Or should casting directors be allowed to ask invasive questions about an actors sexuality during casting? Or should we stop casting new people for things and stick to the small pool of people who are out and famous enough that you can google their sexuality? Because those are the options if you only want openly queer actors for these roles.
Again, I understand the desire for openly queer actors in queer roles, but you know what (imo) is even more important? Queer directors. Queer writers. Queer showrunners. In short: Queer people behind the scenes making the decisions and telling stories in a way that actually represents all parts of our community.
There are a lot of ways to help our community to get more and better representation, but bullying a teenager off of twitter because he doesn't feel like he owes the world every part of himself isn't one of them.
(also, attempting to bully someone out of the closet isn't "seeking reassurance" , that's just people being nasty for the sake of looking righteous in front of their online friends on the back of a stranger who is also a literal teenager)

hi alex, hope you’re doing well. i have a question um… why people, including you, say that queerbaiting doesn’t exist for real people? like what does that means? thank you in advance for your answer and happy holidays 💝
hi dear,
first of all, i recommend you to check this post (it gives the definition) and my tag queerbaiting.
queerbaiting is a term that is used for companies, for characters, etc. NOT for real people. why?
real people are allowed to not know their own sexuality/gender and play with gender expression or try having relationships with people of the same gender without having to give explanations as lgbt+ people owe NO explanations to cis-straight people.
real people are allowed to know their sexuality or gender identity and not want to tell their friends or a public because 1) we don't owe explanations to anyone. 2) coming out of the closet is literally a health risk both physically and mentally and if a person decides they don't want to go through that process, they should be respected and not accused without knowing.
lgbt+ people who use the term:
do you remember being in the closet? how would you have felt if, when you were just discovering your sexuality/gender identity, you had thousands or millions of people accusing and insulting you? you would have felt pretty bad, wouldn't you?
cis-straight people who use the term:
why the hell do you care so much if a person is ambiguous about their gender or sexuality? why does it bother you that you don't know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE? why do you think its an obligation for lgbt+ people to come out of the closet?
for all people:
do you really care that “cis-straight” people don't “use” or “benefit” from the lgbt+ community or do you only care about satisfying your own expectations? do you understand that you cant force people to come out of the closet against their will? you do understand that accusing a person without knowing what you are accusing them of is stupid, right?
then:
i want a non-queerphobic explanation as to why celebrities like billie eilish, harry styles, madonna, bad bunny, etc. are accused of literally NOTHING.
there is no such thing as “using” the lgbt+ community. the community and the people within it are not objects to be “used”.
there is no such thing as “profiting” from being lgbt+. WE LIVE IN A QUEERPHOBIC WORLD!!! HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO BENEFIT FROM BEING AN OPPRESSED AND DISCRIMINATED MEMBER OF SOCIETY?
lgbt+ people are not bothered (or should not be bothered) that other people are discovering themselves as we all went through that process. we are not bothered that a person is in a closet as we were all in one at one time.
stop trying to use us lgbt+ people as an excuse to continue with the cancel culture.
i propose something ❤️LIVE AND LET LIVE❤️
—————————
anómino preguntó:
hola alex, espero que te vaya bien. tengo una pregunta um... ¿por qué la gente, incluido tú, dice que el queerbaiting no existe para la gente real?
greedy-queen responde:
hola cariño,
primero de todo, te recomiendo chequear este post (da la definición) y mi tag queerbaiting.
el queerbaiting es un término que se utiliza para empresas, para personajes, etc. NO para personas reales. ¿por qué?
las personas reales tenemos permitido no conocer nuestra propia sexualidad/género y jugar con la expresión de genero o probar de tener relaciones con personas de nuestro mismo género sin tener que dar explicaciones ya que las personas lgbt+ no le deben NINGUNA explicación a las personas cis-hetero.
las personas reales tenemos permitido conocer nuestra sexualidad o identidad de género y no querer decirla a nuestro conocidos/amigos o a un público por el hecho de que 1) no debemos explicaciones a nadie. 2) salir del closet es literalmente riesgo para la salud tanto física como mental y si una persona decide no querer pasar por ese proceso, hay que respetarlo y no acusarlo sin saber.
personas lgbt+ que usan el término:
¿ustedes recuerdan estar en el closet? ¿como se hubiesen sentido si cuando recién estaban descubriendo sus sexualidades/identidades de género, hubiesen tenido a miles o millones de personas acusándolos e insultándolos? se hubiesen sentido bastante mal ¿verdad?
personas cis-hetero que usan el término:
¿por qué demonios les importa tanto si una persona es ambigua respecto a su género o sexualidad? ¿por qué les molesta no saber TODO de TODOS? ¿por qué creen que es una obligación de las personas lgbt+ salir del closet?
para todas las personas:
¿a ustedes realmente les importa que las personas “cis-hetero” no “usen” o no se “beneficien” de la comunidad lgbt+ o solo les importa satisfacer sus propias expectativas? ¿ustedes entiende que no pueden obligar a las personas a salir del closet contra su voluntad? ustedes entienden que acusar a una persona sin saber sobre lo que se esta acusando, es estúpido, ¿verdad?
entonces:
quiero una explicación no queerfóbica de por qué celebridades como billie eilish, harry styles, madonna, bad bunny, etc. son acusadas por literalmente NADA.
no existe “usar” a la comunidad lgbt+. la comunidad y las personas que estamos dentro de ella no somos objetos que se pueden “usar”.
no existe “beneficiarse” de ser lgbt+. VIVIMOS EN UN MUNDO QUEERFÓBICO!!! ¿COMO DEMONIOS ME VOY A BENEFICIAR DE SER UN MIEMBRO OPRIMIDO Y DISCRIMINANDO DE LA SOCIEDAD?
a las personas lgbt+ no nos molesta (o no debería molestarnos) que otras personas estén descubriéndose ya que todos pasamos por ese proceso. no nos molesta que una persona este en closet ya que todos estuvimos en uno alguna vez.
dejen de querer usarnos a las personas lgbt+ como excusa para seguir con la cancel culture.
les propongo algo ❤️VIVAN Y DENJEN VIVIR❤️

Troubled Past Resurfacing
"Hey, I'll be with ya in just a second!" Casey called from behind the car he was working on when he heard the desk bell chime.
"No problem!" A pleasant voice called back. Casey frowned. There was something familiar about it, though he was sure it wasn't any of his recent customers. He pulled the old brake pad from the car in front of him to give a clear stopping point then stood and brushed himself off. He wiped his hands on rag as best he could as he made his way to the front of the garage, then slung the cloth over his shoulder.
"What can I do for ya?" He asked the young brunette standing at the desk.
"Hey, Casey!" She smiled brightly.
All at once he realized why the voice was familiar and he couldn't breathe. "H-Hey, Jen. Uh. How can I help ya?" He asked, falling back on his customer script.
"I just wanted to pop in and say hi. A friend of mine mentioned coming in here for an oil change and I remembered how you always talked about wanting a shop of your own. So I wanted to come by to congratulate you!"
"That's...really thoughtful of you. Didn't figure you'd remember that," he chuckled anxiously.
"Of course I did!" She answered and grabbed his arm. "I'm really happy for you, Casey."
"Thanks. Jen."
"Well? Aren't you gonna ask how I'm doing?" She teased.
"Y-Yeah. Um, how ya been?"
"Well, I went back and finished my masters and now I'm working at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. Been on a few dates, but haven’t really hit it off with anyone yet, you know?" She squeezed his arm and this time Casey pulled away. "What happened between us, Casey? You just...slowly disappeared from my life."
"I don't know." He shrugged half-heartedly.
"How can you not know?" She questioned. "You're the one that left without any explanation."
"Jenna, please-"
"Why did you leave?"
"I can't do this right now-"
"You owe me an explanation."
"I- it's complicated," he mumbled and took a small step back to lean his hand on the desk for support and grounding.
"Casey, I came here because despite you disappearing on me, I still care about you. I just wanna know why. You owe me that much."
"I can't do this right now," he said again, shaking his head. He was starting to feel light headed and he couldn't seem to catch his breath. "I jus- I can't. I ain't ready for this conversation. Just- just gimme a little time-"
"A little time?" She repeated incredulously. "You completely walked away from me four years ago. Is that not enough time for you?"
"I was scared!" He blurted, tears swelling in his vibrant eyes. "I was scared cause'a this right here. I'm standin' here tellin' you, I ain't ready for somethin' and you're not listenin'. Do you remember the last time you did that to me? Look, I get it, I ain't mad at you for it, you were tryin'a be supportive or encouragin' or whatever, but I told you I wasn't ready and you didn't listen. You kept pushin' and I ended up doin' stuff I didn't wanna do, stuff I wasn't ready for, because you just wouldn' listen. So I disappeared cause it felt safer'n tryin'a work it out or talk about it cause I was scared. I was scared I wouldn't be allowed to leave."
Jenna stood in stunned silence for a moment. "Casey-"
He stepped away when she reached for him. "Please, just let me walk away. I get it, maybe this should be a whole conversation, but I can't right now, Jenna, I can't. Please just let me walk away."
Jenna wiped her cheek and nodded. "Maybe later. I'm sorry, Casey."
Casey collapsed again the desk when she turned and walked away. He couldn't seem to catch his breath, despite the deep gasps he was taking in. He had to get to the office.
---
"Hey, good news!" Donatello greeted when the door open. Casey collapsed through the doorway and might have hit the ground entirely if Don had been any slower. "Casey, what happened?" He asked and helped Casey to a nearby chair.
Casey shook his head, tears streaming down his face. "Don't ask, don't ask, please don't ask," he gasped.
"You don't have to tell me," Don promised. He darted to the fridge and plucked out two water bottles. He cracked one open and set it within Casey's reach and pressed the other to the back of his friend's neck. "I'm gonna count and I want you to breathe. You remember how to do box breathing?"
Casey nodded.
"Alright, here we go."
---
"How are you feeling?" Donny asked after Casey had been calm a few minutes.
"Tired."
"I bet. That was a pretty intense panic attack you had. You wanna talk about it at all? I can call Raph or April if that would be better," he offered when Casey hesitated.
"It was an ex that came into the shop," Casey croaked. "April said she was abusive. Raph agreed too so. Y'know." He shrugged one shoulder and dropped his head into his hands.
Donatello nodded. "You know you're always welcome in the lair. If you think she's going to be a problem-"
"I dunno," Casey answered. He pushed back his hair as he lifted his head. "I don't think she would, but I really don't know anymore."
"That's okay. I'd rather be overly cautious than not cautious enough in this situation. The last thing any of us want is for you to get hurt."
"Thanks, Don."
Donatello smirked and tousled Casey's hair. "Raph might be your favorite, but we all care about you. You're family, Case."

I'M A JIKOOK BLOGGER I'M NOT HERE FOR THE HETS IMMA DIP THANK YOU💀
Nothing personal I just hate straight people
No response is still a response.
And honey you don't need me to tell you that that bangtan TV was an official comment- of a sort. It centers Tae and has my universe playing in the background what more do you need 🤣💀
The song literally talks about two worlds colliding, how love is love....
"They said we can't be together because we come from different sides." They might have as well just confirmed it but the shade they be throwing sometimes is unwarranted 😫
We just be minding our business BTS will mess up and hybe will throw shade at us like what did we do😭😭😭😭
Hybe is not one to fumble the bag. If a rumor of this nature will cause fans to be upset and have investors hitting them up you bet they would issue a legal statement threatening to sue anyone for spreading false statements or issue a direct statement- as it stands they've done none and they've sued and issued statements over less.
Also V posted. It's typical of him to hang around socials when he's taking hits- except he's not throwing tantrums and fits or leaving not so subtle shade on his posts.
All this is sus. Certainly interesting.
Hybe has a lot on their hands but their business side always comes first. If they know none of these issues will affect their business and stocks they won't do a damn thang about it if it's true.
Not addressing rumors that have an iota of truth in it is a classic strategy they use- they did it with Jungkook when they told Mijoo to lay low till it blows over while issuing statements and threatening to sue.
It will soon blow over if they leave it.
but it's certainly interesting how they act when they feel something is at stake. Makes you wonder if there isn't anyone else they protecting. I mean sometimes clarifying these rumors helps the artists partners to feel at ease too. Especially when the evidence however fake is damning.
And it is in the interest of the artist themselves to have these sort of issues clarified if they have serious commitments. It's not all about the wrath of fans if you ask me. Tae reacted rather strongly and pushed back at people invading his privacy- like imagine having someone you are serious about finding out you are tied up in a high profile romance scandal with some rich CEO's daughter. I would be mad too.
And this is what I've always been saying about Jikook. There's too many questionable things about them they leave unclarified for two young men at that stahe where dating should be a top priority.
If Jungkook has a girlfriend or boyfriend he is serious about walking to set with a hickey certainly complicates things for him- especially when you think about the fact neither he or the members allow room for misunderstandings even with fans. Didn't RM talk about how a poodle wasn't even his when rumors began of him dating? Jin also clarified someone wasn't his mother. Tae said get out of your imagination i will shoot a needle in your neck.
A scandal doesn't just cost tje company it does and should cost the individual artists in their private lives. They have mothers who are concerned for them, friends who look out for them and lovers to whom they owe explanations for their actions on and off screen. Unless of course those relationships mean absolutely nothing to them.
I mean we've seen it with Jikook during their 2019 scandals and during the whole itaewon scandal. Jungkook could have chose not to clarify shit cos really it's his personal life and he shouldn't be apologetic for anything he does with his life. Same goes for Jimin.
but dude agreed to issue an apology speech to fans. To fans...💀💀💀💀💀
That's infantilizing and dehumanizing I don't give a fuck what the company says. Yet he agreed to do it. Surely there must be a personal motivation for him to have agreed to subject himself to such humiliation. He is not a child. Perhaps it's time hybe had a coming of age ceremony and TV show to initiate the boys into adulthood and oriented fans on the new journey of love and sex- they need to have this conversation witj their fan base. It's time to have THE talk.
And let it reflect in their music let them talk about love and loss, desire and sex and sexuality- it's the new dark and wild phase baby. That's what we fucking want.
And for Tae with the way he talks about wanting kids I'm kinda surprised with Jennie. One would assume he'd prefer a quiet chick who lives in the countryside, accomplished of course but who has nothing to do in the public eye and who's career won't get in the way of raising kids. It's why i can't take them seriously as a pair because it's going nowhere unless Jennie is retiring from the band or going solo any time soon. But the way i see her she ain't slowing down any time soon.
They just having fun if you ask me but don't cos i hate straight people relationships and would rather do anything else.
It's nice to see a lot of people show their support for both artists yall are good people and so mature- couldn't be me. I'm petty as fuck. If it's not gay I don't care about it.
Also, hybe has a history of using bts to promote Blackpink. They "accidentally" sent weverse notifications to army but really they were just alerting us black pink was on weverse. Won't entirely be surprised if their silence is again a strategy to promote them.
A while back I complained of how hybe was sabotaging BTS to build the other brands under them and yall said i was tripping. But really the company won't hesitate to throw bts under the bus to advance the company.
If it turns out they are just friends i would be so happy for them and their non-het-sex friendship. And yes, they should have answered with a statement. They haven't yet....
Will update this later gotta go

my sister is really bugging me lately. My dad says that I shouldn't let the way she treats him bug me, but it pisses me the fuck off tbh. She's fourteen and I recognize that that's young and that she's still growing up and she's not an adult, but it still feels like she's old enough to know better than to treat people with complete disrespect. The worst part is that when she gets herself into fights with someone else or causes a new problem or does something rude, she genuinely seems to think she's in the right and if you try to have a conversation she gets pissed off. She's so bad that when my dad went to talk to her a week ago, my eight year old sister literally said "i'm worried about daddy" and when I asked why she said it was because other sister gets in fights a lot and she was scared she was gonna hurt my dad. (She didn't, though she did yell at my dad who has never once hit any of us to hit her because he was confronting her about something she did and I think she wanted an excuse to say she'd call the cops? That's the literal only explanation I can think of, because I've heard her tell her to hit him so she could call the cops before, a few years ago.) Anyway that's not entirely relevant but it's just like she gets mad if someone wont do something for her and acts like no one loves her and I do feel bad for her because I know she's had breakdowns feeling like no one loves her from fights happening or from someone not wanting to be around her or hang out with her but the thing is while I do feel bad, no one owes her their time and when she acts like that, she can't really expect it. Like the eight year old, who she loves to flat out yell at when the eight year old just says something rude, and then defends herself by saying that she should be allowed to defend herself (which is not what anyone is saying when they point it out, we're just pointing out that her full on yelling at an eight year old who is much younger and wasn't screaming at her anyway isn't okay), will walk away from her because she's being rude and 14 year old will start yelling and complain to dad that no one likes her. But I feel like if even my 8 year old sister is realizing to just walk away from the situations instead of engaging because she's just so tired of it, that really says something about the consistency of these things. But anyway, all that said, basically I don't want to be in my sisters life at all (14 year old). Like she has redeeming moments but it's not enough with everything else. The other day she was rude to me and like 40 minutes later when we saw each other again, she said "name, I love you," I guess to move on from it and that's more maturity than she normally has, but I just feel like that's not enough. Like it's reaching out and it's nice but it's sure as hell not an apology or even an admission of guilt and since then she's caused more problems, with me and in general. So yeah I just genuinely don't want to be around her. Like I'm at a point where I'm like, maybe in a few years if she's a better person, I could forge a good relationship with her, but even if she became a million times better over night, being aound her and trying to be super friendly (I can be decently nice just fine even if it's a little annoying when things go unaddressed) right now or any time soon isn't something I want. Like I legitamately don't think she deserves my time and also she just makes me so miserable and I can't really explain this next part but just being around her doesn't FEEL nice even when she's being nice or better (which never last past the first slight disagreement. but even if it did).
But I'm legitamately afraid, too, because I know that most of my other sisters are also at that point with her (I have a lot of sisters, and 2 of them I don't think are done with her, one goes back and forth and the other I think is chill with her but I don't think they talk much) and I know that that adds to her feelings of isolation and feeling unloved and unwanted but like the thing is it's her actions that caused it and I feel like I shouldn't have to feel bad for her because she's created the situation she's in but she seems to legitamately not see that and I'm just fucking terrified because I know she has issues with depression and I know that she has self harmed before and I'm afraid that the isolation and those negative feelings could lead to something really bad. So I feel like telling people yeah it's okay to distance yourself from her and doing it myself could end badly and that just worries me because I don't want that for anyone and at the end of the day I do care about her and also I wouldn't want to see how that would affect my dad because he loves her so much but I also don't want to be around her and I don't think it's wrong to say to my sisters who have distanced themselves from her that they're not doing anything wrong and I am going to tell my eight year old sister that it's okay to walk away when she's being mean (not from the whole relationship, she wouldn't want to anyway, but just from the fights) even if it upsets 14 year old sister more. But about my distancing myself and what I feel like is holding a grudge which also makes me feel bad, I feel like a bad person for doing it when I know how she's feeling. And I know that she genuinely feels the way she does but at the same time I also feel like my dad keeps getting manipulated by it bc she does feel that way but she brings it up any time she's in trouble and then all of the sudden he's comforting her and feeling bad for saying anything. She also jokingly says 'oh so you don't love me' when she asks for something and my dad says no and that would be fine but she keeps insisting about whatever she wants after she says that and it'd be so much less annoying if it wasn't for how often she says it and for all the background information about her saying similar things in situations that I'm sure she does feel them but that make him feel bad for just parenting. But anyway sorry for the rant I know that's ridiculously wrong and you don't have to respond but I needed to get that out lol
I think your frustration and anger and hurt is completely valid, but I also don't think we can disregard that she is 14 and having mental health issues. So avoid her when you can and call her out when you have the energy and try not to feel bad about it, because you are allowed to have limits and boundaries. But maybe don't write her off completely while she is still in the early stages of puberty. There's a good chance this is a phase or at least something she can grow out of at a later point. Not that you are obligated to be there with zero concerns if she does. Being 14 excuses a lot of things, but not this level of consistent manipulation and disregard

I need help. I'm sorry but I've already asked other people with adhd but I still feel like I need more imput on the situation.
I am friends with someone who has adhd, and they have the habit of ignoring my input when we are talking.
How alot of our conversation go is this:
-I begin a conversation
-they walk away mid conversation because they are distracted (I don't mind)
-i wait patiently wait for them to get back, I recognize they have adhd
-when they get back I continue the conversation but they immediately change the topic, which I understand, its upset because it happens everytime, but subject changing is normal
-i attempt to add to their conversation, by adding input of my own and adding on to their idea
-they kinda just nod or say "yeah ok" then countiue with what their saying with out actually recognizing or building off my ideas
Other times I'll be talking to them and they would only respond with short nods or "yeahs" which did really bother me but yesterday they admitted that they only listen to half of what I actually say, I said this hurt me and all they said was "i have adhd, it's not an excuse it's an explanation" but them continued to do it knowing it hurt me
They also make fun of my intrests and keep saying they don't understand how someone could possibly like what I like, I tell them why I like these things but they kinda dissmiss/ignore what I say
I'm getting really upset and want to talk to them about it but I know that alot of this is caused by adhd. I don't want to hurt their feelings and I'm questioning whether I should be allowed to even be mad in the first place. I've talked to my friends who also have adhd and they say the things they do are kinda shitty but I wanted to ask a more knowledgeable source because I recognize that every instance of having adhd isn't the same
Regardless of having ADHD or not, this person does not sound like a friend to you. There’s no reason for belittling the interests of others, especially not those you call friends. And ADHD people, who frequently have their own hyper fixations, should understand better than most why this behavior is inappropriate. It’s essentially bullying the way you’re describing it. There’s a huge difference between saying that you personally don’t see the appeal of something and it’s not for you, versus saying you could never see why anyone would ever like something and making fun of that thing most especially to someone that you know enjoys it. And as an ADHD person we are more sensitive to rejection and have more intense investment in our interests, so there really is no excuse here. It’s wrong and ADHDers of all people know it’s wrong.
As far as the conversations go it’s slightly more complicated. Maturity level matters here so age and severity of symptoms can be factors, you’re right that people experience ADHD differently. That said, if someone is being inconsiderate and expecting a one-sided friendship that is never okay and you’re justified in being hurt and frustrated.
I can understand zoning out when someone is talking about an interest that is not shared. However it is very rude to say as much. I think we’ve all been there, but you feign at least mild interest because you care about the feelings of the person talking. You zone in enough to formulate a question or comment that sounds like you’re engaged before you zone out again. It’s only right. That’s how friendship goes, you’re not going to be invested in every word that comes out of their mouth every time. But you love seeing your friend happy to talk about what they care about. So you encourage them speaking because you’re happy they’re happy. It is normal for ADHDers to have a really really hard time focusing on things that don’t capture our personal interest. But friendships involve give and take. We want our friends to tolerate our ranting on the subjects in which we are interested in, we owe our friends to give the respect we wish to receive. It’s unrealistic to expect we’d always share interests, and sadly zoning out at things we aren’t interested in is in our nature, but this friend of yours isn’t even trying. Saying “I don’t listen to you half the time” is very different from simply being inattentive at times when someone is speaking, this makes it seem like it’s a personal disinterest in the other person and discourages that person from feeling welcome to speak to their interests in the future. And that’s not something a friend does.
The walking away mid-conversation thing could be restlessness (and boredom), which is an ADHD thing. But unless you had been talking on the same topic for a very long time it would be considerate to finish the conversation in progress, or at least give a summary of the conversation and a couple closing remarks before changing the subject if you are feeling burnout on the subject at the moment and are eager to discuss something else. If I really want to say something on a different subject I will say the thing, and the ask a question or make a comment on the previous topic to bring it back around because I wasn’t trying to be rude or derail anyone I just got excited.
Changing topics frequently and suddenly is often how the ADHD brain works, it’s common that something someone said reminds us of a thing, which reminds us of a TV show, that reminds us of a specific episode, that reminds us of another thing, which relates to a play we studied in class, which would be great to mention now. And then it feels totally out of left field for everyone else. Our quick moving brains paired with excitability and poor memory make us unlikely to find it easy to wait on sharing. However it has helped me to learn some tactful ways to keep the conversation flowing and work with my friends instead of against them at such times. I might say “Oh! Real quick, X thing and how it pertains to Y. Pretty interesting topic for exploration huh? Wanted to say that while it was on my mind, anyway you were saying A thing was happening and B person was responding with C reaction. What happened after that?” Then we can come back to the other topic later now that my friends with better memories are aware I had some thoughts about it.
As far as not responding to the input that you add to the conversation when they are speaking, I think that could be ADHD. Like maybe they have this whole idea they have been thinking about in their mind all day and they’re dying to get it out and it’s very specific and they just want to share their vision. Like I get it, but again it’s give and take in a conversation and you need to give others the respect you want to receive. Not to mention that I’ve gotten such genuinely fantastic ideas from my friends input and I think it’s worth the work to have an open ear and an open mind when sharing ideas, even if it does take some more work with ADHD the payoff is well worth it. ADHDers make such great connections and can be so resourceful, learning this skill has been so valuable to me personally.
In conclusion: I appreciate you looking to better understand how ADHD impacts relationships. ADHD symptoms can make being a good friend harder, it’s true, however being unkind is not an ADHD symptom. If a friend is being rude to you and they don’t place any value on what you have to say or your feelings then they’re not a good friend. You deserve to be treated well by your friends.

Alright, I have a chance to rant. I have held back for MONTHS, allowing the two of you to abuse and gaslight my best friend and someone I consider a sister, so. Enough is enough.
This will be very long as I am very agitated, lmao. Read if you want or fuck off if you want, I genuinely don't care either way. 🤷🏻♀️ Act your damn ages already.
First off, if you want me to tag you (or would you prefer me refer to you like you do when you talk shit "you know who you are") I will, happily. You want transparency, let's do it.
Second. In no way is sending death threats okay. I don't even know if her followers did it to you or y'all are just that crazy to send anonymous hate to yourselves for attention, but even fake, it's wrong.
Next, misgendering someone because you're pissy is a childish, ignorant choice, and it is also wrong. Whoever did it, you should seriously be ashamed and take a long look at yourself and do better.
I am in no way condoning any of the hate, real or fake, being sent back and forth. Or the stalker behavior, racist remarks, and absolute absurd disrespect for someone who tried very hard to be your best friend.
-----
In case it's not clear, I fully take Ash's side. (@thevampywolf for those who don't know, that's what I call her.) There's no debate happening, no one will sway my decision. I gathered the facts (yes, those pesky things you conveniently ignore when you're trying to make your own point) and she is not in the wrong here. Period. I've asked third parties who have no idea of the situation, they have ALL agreed with me here.
You say she should "make an official post because right now it sounds really bad on (her) end". She owes y'all absolutely dick diddly.
I have just had enough and while Ash doesn't need one single damn person to defend her, she deserves to be defended and I've held my tongue for long enough. The bullshit needs to stop already.
-----
This all started because you and Ash were best friends. And then you got back/together with your girlfriend (who is now boyfriend, yes, but at the time was identifying as a female, that's why I said girlfriend) and started treating Ash like absolute shit. You commissioned work from her and she delivered, with promises you'd pay her when you got paid, after this drama episode with your roommate, you're helping your s/o through stuff, now they're helping you, now you've just gotta get paid again, oh wait, next holiday, etc. It's been almost half a year. You have your own housing at college and a job. You went out drinking for your birthday. You pay for your own food and clothes and those concert tickets and merch you got. She is not being a bitch to ask you for the payment you verbally/electronically promised in form of a commission.
However, you immediately saw red because HOW DARE she stand up for herself and actually make you follow through and keep your word. Le gasp. It's almost like she's being an adult, wow. And yes, there's also the $60 perfume that you've been holding hostage and gave to your dad to send off. Anyway. Ash asked you, before ending all contact with you, for what you OWE her, and you got pissy and you and your former girlfriend, now boyfriend, (I believe they go by he/him/they/them. If I am wrong, please correct me and I'll fix it.) started talking shit.
If you truly don't want any ties with Ash, you'd send the package you've been keeping from her (not hand it off to your dad and refuse to take accountability for it) and pay her what you owe and stop bringing her up on your numerous blogs and insinuating that she's being a bad person. Don't sit there, hiding behind your keyboards, playing the blame game and being absolute cunts. Grow up. Shame on you.
Ash owes zero explanation, to anyone, for YOUR shitty behaviors or the shitty behaviors of her followers. She's not "condoning the hate as well". That's on y'all and them. I realize you don't apparently have an actual mother figure (your posts, your words - not mine), but she's not responsible for anyone but herself and isn't anyone's mother.
------
Ironic how y'all become racist, vile, disgusting, bitter, and petty people when you think no one's looking. But then try to twist the situation and make it seem like it's someone else in the wrong.
For context if anyone is wondering, here's some of what was said and then deleted, this is just from yesterday. Note the tag you added, targeting Ash. She has not named y'all yet, she literally last even had your initial on her blog on December 4th, in this post where someone else brought you up.
But anyway, onto what actually started the drama today.
There's so much to unpack, but like. How fucking racist and unacceptable. Imagine being so fucking obsessed with someone that you have to attack them over fake names for fake children in fictional stories with your girlfriend and "burst their bubble". Can't relate. The only reason I can imagine is bitterness, jealousy, immaturity, or maybe you're just that hateful, idk. This is just your vitriol from today. You've both sent hate asks to Ash and said nasty, horrid things.
Let's address the underlying racism. First, Han absolutely can pronounce Clementine. He's fluent in English. Just because a three syllable word is too difficult for you to say, doesn't mean everyone else is the same. It's a simple word, a common one, is a name of characters in very popular media (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Walking Dead, there's an entire children's book series about a little girl named Clementine of the same name, just for example) and isn't exclusive to only English born speakers.
Secondly, there are literally Korean clementines!! They have multiple kinds - Gam Gyul, Hanrabong, Cheon Hye Hyang... I did a very quick search and found them. Ignorance is not an excuse here.
Third, why do you just assume all the international /foreign boys who your American girlfriend has wet dreams and dirty fantasies about - and writes and publishes filthy kink stories about and even SAID could be with her, dressing up for Halloween as a matching couple one day (yes, I have the screen shot, lmao) - will only be with Korean women and would never date outside their race? And they must name their children Korean names? That's just. Wow. So incredibly racist and ignorant.
Eric Nam, Christian Yu, Chrystal Soo Jung, Joshua Hong, Vernon, Jay Park, Rosé, Jennie, Gray, Jessi, FELIX LEE AND CHRISTOPHER BAHNG FOR FUCKS SAKE are all apparently not real Koreans. 🤔 How dare they have English names! And all those Koreans who decide they want their own English names, how DARE they.
Y'all can delete the posts and try to place blame on anyone else but you still did it and I saw and screenshot it all. The comment and how you hearted each racist post, too. Guess we know how you two really feel about the boys and Asians in general, huh.
-----
Ash has had both of you blocked for quite a while now. I remember the day she did it. So, y'all may wanna make it seem like Ash is contacting you constantly and reaching out, but you're delusional. She literally has both of you blocked on Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, etc. She only allows you on one social, Snap and that's because you owe her money. She doesn't contact you otherwise. So to go out of your way to stalk her blog and socials and fucking emoji tag, even, is just. Wow.
She has tried, over and over, has given chance after chance after chance (despite being told to cut ties and adandon ship because you're hopeless as a friend and you'll never change your horrible behavior) and went to you saying things along the lines of "hey, if you don't wanna be friends anymore, please just let me know and I'll stop messaging you and let you be" and despite ghosting her like a child instead of facing her like the adult you criticize everyone else for not being, you immediately say things along the lines of "omg I'm soooo sorry, I'll fix it, I didn't mean to do that, of course I wanna be friends!"
But then, surprise, you never change or do better. And you CONTINUE to blame it on anyone and anything else. She realized just how toxic, childish, and wretched you both are, and decided instead of spewing nonsense, to block you and try to end the friendship as quickly as possible. And instead of realizing your mistakes and shitty behaviors, you decided to be ignorant twats online.
I mean, I knew y'all were immature but damn, that's just sad. Ash is living rent free in your heads and it's just absolutely pathetic. I just. You're both so ugly inside, you have to (try to) tear down anyone who disagrees with you or doesn't let the two of you abuse and walk all over that them...
-----
You constantly act like a victim on here. When you get no interaction for a while, suddenly you have an influx of anonymous "hate" (that's written exactly how you type, interestingly enough) despite saying you're going to turn off the fucking feature in the first place. Either you're so desperate for any attention, you're willing to get the hate and thrive in the negativity, or you're just a liar.
You are a jealous, petty, immature bully who sends people anonymous hate to stir the pot. You're so emotionally stunted, you terrorize and poison the very few people who actually want the best for you (fun fact, not someone who enables you and just agrees with everything you say blindly) and want to care for you - and then tell anyone who will listen that it was their fault for leaving once you've ghosted them for months on end. It's never your own fault because you can't accept responsibility for your actions and fucked up behaviors.
-----
If the people who follow you two or Ash knew how horrible you truly are, they'd abandon ship as soon as possible. And they should, cause if they're not careful, they'll be your next victims.
And it's just very sad and honestly, I feel sorry for you. I truly hope you go to therapy and one day grow up and act your age. I, personally, go to therapy since my suicide attempt at 16, and it's fantastic. It doesn't make you broken or something bad. It's something you (and many people for that matter) very obviously need in an attempt to heal whatever has fucked you up so much and I hope you don't have to hit rock bottom to reach out to an actual psychiatrist like I did.
I'm not saying this to be cruel or snide or cutting. This is genuine. You deserve to feel better about yourself and your family and friends. You deserve peace, even if you don't act like you deserve it. I'll pray for you - but as you pretend your boyfriend is God and blaspheme regularly, I'm not sure you'll appreciate the sentiment. I'm still doing it, regardless.
Also, this will sound cunty, but you need to hear it. I realize the blog is deleted and you've deleted the posts but.
Stop glorifying and blaming others for your suicidal desires and tendencies. Being suicidal is not a quirky personality trait, it's a sickness and needs to be taken care of by an actual doctor, not smothered with sex and bitterness and memes.
-----
And now, bring on the hate anons and bullshittery. I've so very suddenly been blocked (then unblocked so I'm just not following anymore) and unfriended as some anons came in. Interesting how that happens. 🤔
-----
Edit: I mistakenly put Lisa (who is Thai) and Mark Tuan (who is Taiwanese-American) under the Koreans with 'English' names. I apologize, sincerely, for my dumbness. 😅 And thank you very very much to the anon who pointed it out cause I'd have never realized it. 🫣
#Was gonna post more screenshots but honestly that's too much work and I just don't care enough#You did shitty things and people either saw it or they didn't#2022#self#Ash#my darling moots#soul links

Voicelines responses (Ace)
Ha ha, there it is. I thought I'd never be into your type, but maybe I was wrong? ...Or not!
What the fuck are you saying about?
School Uniform
There's never a boring day with you around. I swear trouble follows you everywhere.
Yeah, it's true you and Grim follow me everywhere.
It's nice that our dorm color and my favorite color are one and the same. Red's all in-your-face and classy, which is perfect for me, don't you think?
Yeah, cause you're always in everyone's faces. I'm joking, Ace.
P.E. Uniform
You might not've guessed it, but I'm pretty competitive. Wanna join me for some special training?
No.
It's not good to sit still all the time, y'know?
Do I look like I care?
Hey, PE's about to begin. I'm gonna leave you behind if you dawdle.
Then go without me.
Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go grab something. It gets old being cooped up all the time, right?
You get used to it.
Labwear
It's important to help each other out, y'know. That's why I'm leaving this assignment to you!
Ace, get back here and do your work!
There's nothing wrong with cutting a few corners here and there. As long as you don't get found out, that is.
Ace, do your work correctly.
What, you got a question? Fine, but you owe me one.
Then never mind. Deuce! You have a minute?
You never know when or where the headmage's gonna pop up. Yesterday, I glanced back to find him suddenly sitting behind me. I almost jumped outta my skin.
My first morning here, I woke up with him in my room.
Ceremonial Robes
What kinda celebrations do they have back where you're from? Do they host unbirthday parties and stuff?
Unbirthday parties isn't a thing in my world. And celebrations don't feel like celebrations. (Goes on an explanation)
Tadaaa! I can produce a hedgehog from my hood! Or...not. I guess magic tricks that use live animals are extra hard.
Wait, where's the actual hedgehog?
Don't you think this school is in dire need of more fun? There aren't any places to relax! Where are the cafés? The concerts?!
It's a school, they're not allowed have fun.
Dorm Uniform
Hey, Prefect, help me take care of the hedgehogs we use for croquet.
Only if I'm allowed to pet the hedgehogs.
How d'you like my dorm uniform? Pretty sweet, right?
Eh.
We freshmen are four to a room. It's cramped, but there's never a dull moment. You should come hang out with us sometime.
I don't want to be around smelly boys. Ace, I'm joking.
Shame you didn't get in Heartslabyul, too. It's kind of a thrill never knowing when it might be "off with your head."
Hmm, if we're taking this seriously, it's probably a good thing I wasn't placed in your dorm... I don't want talk about it.
Suitor Suit
I'll make you happy for as long as you live... There, how's that?
Hm, feels a bit flat.
Check THIS out. I've got "perfect prince" written all over me, right?
Sorry, I thought you were Cater for a second because of that hairstyle. But it doesn't look bad on you though.
Just so we're clear, this is a PRACTICE proposal. It's not the real deal, got it?!
The fact you have to state that makes it seem like it's not.
People give roses to their crushes in manga and TV shows, right? Sounds super embarrassing to me.
I think it's sweet, but I can imagine the anxiousness on trying to give them the roses.
Dealing with ghosts sure isn't easy, huh? Now I feel kinda bad you have to live with 'em.
Eh, they're not that bad.
I don't get romance, but the important thing's finding someone who's fun to be with, right?
Yeah. However, romance is something nice to have and do with your partner like going out to a nice restaurant together or spending time in a place you both enjoy. You'll understand when you find someone, unless you're aromantic.
I'm not thinking about romance right now. I'm busy enough looking after you all.
You mean too busy being annoying? Heh, I kid.
I'm definitely the type to get married later in life.
Like everyone else.
Halloween
The graveyard's our turf. We'll make anyone who wanders in one of us, no exceptions.
(Low energy) Cool.
Could you tell which jack-o'-lantern was mine? I'll give you a hint: it had a real goofy face.
So, the one that looks like you, got it.
You might wanna stay inside. It's pretty creepy out there tonight. You never know who might come crawlin' outta their grave.
You're saying that to a horror fan. If anything crawls out of a grave, I'll just put them back in the ground.
Okay, I've gotta warn you— don't look up at the ceiling 'til I tell you.
*Looks up at ceiling*
You're not actually trying to play a trick on me, are you?
If you count silly string as a trick, then yes, I'm playing a trick on you.
