I keep getting chased by the angsty teen version of Adam Driver. He keeps telling me I’m a “poser” and “not a real emo”, but also hitting on me in a very passive-aggressive way.
Please, it’s been like three days. Also, I’m not an emo at all!

That quote from Evelyn Hugo which reads, "Don't ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box. Don't do that.", is the softer version of, "I'm not going to water myself down to be more digestable for you. You can go choke."

Just about lost my mind at work today. As a preface, I'm a barista-in-training. I am supposed to be learning how to make coffee, practicing that skill, and shadowing the other workers.
I have firstly discovered that I just really, REALLY hate serving people coffee. I thought I quit Dunkin' Donuts back in the day because I was 18 and just didn't know what hard work was but no! 20 years later and it turns out I actually just hate being a barista.
Secondly, and I already knew this, I fucking LOATHE passive aggressiveness. Had to deal with TWO people being passive aggressive for the last 2 hours of shift today.
One didn't want to be unloading food into the fridges by herself, and clearly wanted help. But she didn't ask for help. She just grumbled, and pouted, and whined about how long it was going to take and how much she disliked doing it.
Then the shift boss went back there and said "Well, if I help you while there are three other people standing around doing nothing, and I'm off tomorrow with a back injury, we'll all know why..." Yeah? Will we? Would either of you adult human beings like to ASK FOR FUCKING HELP?
I don't respond to passive aggressiveness. My ass WILL stand there and stare blankly at you until you open your mouth and ASK for help.
FURTHERMORE, learn how to fucking delegate properly.
If you say "Someone needs to go into the back and get the frozen food cart" and no one does it, then you need to NAME someone to do that task. You don't just keep saying "someone needs to go do that" and get angrier and angrier about it. PROPERLY DELEGATE THE TASK.
Military bad etc, but they know how to run a proper work center.

Captain Renè Arnoux is the king of deadpan humour
He's not the most memeable character, but that scene in which he describes how he carried his prince to safety under fire, and then HDB can counter with an over-the-top description of his amnesiac hangover.
The fact that he sarcastically says you deserve his Cross of Bravery more than him, and then actually lets you take it.
Imagine giving some drunk asshole your most prized, most significant possession, just to be passive aggressive about how much of an asshole he is.
That is a level of commitment to the bit I didn't even think was possible.

Eddie and Steve both being knights, chasing fame and wanting to be known more then just their fathers. So they both go on a adventure to go save a princess, turns out they are both going for the same princess and constantly fighting each other to be the one to get there first. Turns out when they get there, the princess is Robin. Who is very much a lesbian and refuses to marry either of them and ends up going for their Witch friend Chrissy, who they picked up along the way. So they both drop the act and end up going and getting a drink. Laughing about how stupid they were, ending the night under the sheets. Eddies longer curls falling down as he’s on top of Steve, both of them finding the real thing they were missing. Each other. Hands on skin, lips against each other, hands in curls and when they wake up it’s a new beginning. That Steve is scared of and Eddie is excited for. But communication gets them through every step up until the day they get married.

":)" will either sound supper cuddly and sweet or extremely passive-aggressive, there is no in-between.

When a passive-aggressive person is around – it can be an incredibly uncomfortable experience for those around them.
...
Passive aggression may include (but is not limited to):
Showing indirect signs of hostility (such as giving back-handed compliments)
Deliberately avoiding eye contact with co-workers, friends and loved ones.
Demonstrating sullen behaviours (e.g. sulking or appearing moody)
Using the silent treatment as a way to make others feel uncomfortable
Poor communication (or not communicating at all)
Failure to complete the required tasks
Purposely showing up late to meetings or family events.

I must stop being passive. I must work out exactly what I need, and start arranging things so I can have it.

I'm bored.
*Proceed to make angst*
Tumblr media
I was just scrolling through tiktok before seeing an analysis about how Tsukasa is aND THE SCENE WHERE TSUKASA WAS HANGING AND THE OTHERS IGNORE HIM. It gave me an idea,,,,
It's frustrating him.
He loves the attention! He loves the smiles of people! He loves the bright positivity that shines in their face whenever he makes a cool pose!
Then why did he feel hurt?
Of course it's because their attention to him is about judging him badly. Of course it's because their smiles to him are but mocks of how he's nothing but a clown. Of course it's because the bright positivity that shines in their face is fake and they're actually humiliating him.
He knows it all already. It stung whenever that happened, but he let it happen. Because he's always known as the ‘oblivious and naivé’ kind of person. Someone who's easy to be manipulated, someone's easy to be used. So what? If he's in a good use for people, it's fine.
He should've gotten used to this feeling of frustration and hurt. Then, why did it stung even more when it's with his troupe?
They did nothing wrong- just joking and all sorts of that. There's nothing wrong with them making fun of him once in a while. Nene has done that daily. Emu has been crushing him down whenever he shows up at her sight of view and dumbly agrees on him being made fun of. Rui with his joke about sending him to the sky, making him an actual star of the world in such a short time and ignoring his calls when he got stuck.
It hurts, coming from someone who you truly care about. He knows they're only joking, but he can't help but feel hurt about it and, to add salt to his already wounded heart, them ignoring how he feels with it. Just them seeing how he overreacts makes them loosen up with their jokes, and it warms his heart they're loosen up to him. But it hurts when they also loosen up the jokes.
The jokes are funny, but he's still hurt. Why, oh why, do they not realise it? Surely Emu feels it, right?
“Thank you everyone for the hard work today! This will definitely be our best show yet ~!” Rui cuts the tension of the practice as soon as the last act is done. Everyone let out a sigh of relief, with Emu jumping happily saying ‘wonderhoy!!’ with that bright aura of her showering the other three with it.
Nene sighs again and sits down on the floor, accepting the water bottle that Tsukasa gives her. Rui and Emu were talking about how the scenes should be made to be more magical and eye - catching, while the other two just watch them talk and enjoy the calmness of the atmosphere.
If you ignore how Rui keeps on having his cat smile and Emu getting more and more excited by the second, that is.
“Tsukasa, you should probably lower your voice in that one scene where we meet, you know. Your obnoxious voice is really gonna make the audience deaf someday…” that was a joke, that was a joke, that was a joke, that was a joke-
“Nene!! That scene was in need of a loud scream, okay!? It was expected of a future star such as myself to be giving my best!” he cannot let his ugly feelings show their way out. He needs to repress them. The World Future Star needs to shine, but this Tsukasa can just die.
He doesn't like it when he shows how weak he can be with emotions.
“So loud…” Nene murmurs, but doesn't move away. Huh, if she's complaining, then why is she still sitting next to him anyway? It's weird…
Letting their silence as they watch Emu and Rui talk in such ways they cannot understand, Nene gets up and just stares at the duo in silence. Tsukasa doesn't know if she's thinking about something or watching them, but it's none of his business.
Suddenly, Emu looked at Tsukasa with her blinding smile, “Tsukasa - Kunn!! What if we kaboow you to the sky when the scene you were sling slang with Nene - Chan???”
He doesn't understand her, but he understands what she's aiming at.
“No way! That scene doesn't need to be changed!!! You can't just throw me to the sky when it's show time!?”
“Fufu ~ That's why we want to change the scene to make it fit! And, does that mean I can launch you outside of the show?”
“Absolutely not! We're done with the launching part!!”
“Geh… at least lower your voice, idiot. “
“WHO DO YOU CALL AN IDIOT!?”
Emu laughs at it and keeps on repeating the word ‘idiot’ over and over again, while Rui just laughs it out loud. It feels humiliating, but they're only joking. Emu has done this before, Nene has jabbed him with her sharp words before, Rui has turned a blind eye at this kind of thing before.
Why did it hurt so badly now?
Emu makes jokes about things to him, and so is Rui. But it hurts so badly now. Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? He's never been this bad before.
“It's not funny…” hearing his timid voice, Rui stops laughing. It shouldn't be too bad, but somehow hearing the same Tsukasa Tenma who's loud about things, having a timid voice is insane. It's not that insane, but it's extremely rare that he does it.
It shouldn't be too bad, right? They're just joking, after all. He can understand. (?)
“Jeez, calm down. It's just a joke. No need to be dramatic. “ It just added to the flame. What does she mean when she says that it's just a joke!? It's never a joke to begin with!
He woke up on the wrong side of the bed, being exhausted after practising his lines last night. Having to endure the other students’ comments about how loud, obnoxious and annoying he is. He loves the attention, negative or positive, but it's too much for him right now. And then he forgot his lunch and also his homework was forgotten on his desk at home, so he got punished and laughed at by others. It's too much.
Too much for a boy with a fragile heart like his.
With the others talking about it, he blocked their voices, getting them out of his head while trying to calm himself down. He's so tired, he can only endure so much today,
And he's at his limit.
“You should've just lowered your voice like when you become Thorpe-” “I'm so tired of this already!”
Suddenly, the atmosphere turns cold. The three looked at him in shock and somehow the shock was getting worse.
Tsukasa'a crying. And his eyes look like it's on the verge of dying with his lights flickering. Emu gasps and covers her mouth. Nene looked conflicted and frowning, thinking where did she go wrong. Rui is with his frowning, realising that his timid voice before was actually his limit.
They realised that Tsukasa is someone who's easy to tease, but never realised that he's on his limit.
“I'm so tired of your jokes! Don't you understand how it hurts me- how it affects me as myself!? You guys are always joking here and there, but never realise how your jokes are getting too far! “ shouted Tsukasa. It hits them to the core.
They've gone too far. And they've been hitting the limit for a long time.
“Tsukasa… you can understand that those are jokes right-?” Nene tries to lessen Tsukasa's anger. This was like the first time they had an argument, and at that time Tsukasa was at fault, but it's not his fault that he doesn't realise that he wants to do shows for his sister.
And now it's their fault for getting too far. And they cannot see the reason why it's not their fault when Tsukasa has clearly shown signs of him being uncomfortable by their jokes.
Tsukasa laughs. His laugh feels so empty, “I know! But it still hurts nonetheless! What do you think about how people have been saying bad things to you and then treating it like a joke? I've been feeling that since long and have gotten used to it, but you guys who know better about me don't realise how it hurts me so badly! You guys know that words are like arrows, right!?
I've asked you guys to stop, but you guys didn't! You only make it worse! I've had a bad day already, so just spare me…
Please…”
And that's when he broke down. He choked on his own saliva at the end and cried silently on the spot. He cannot handle them being this mean to him now. He can any other day, just not now. He had enough for today.
The three can only watch him crying. It hurts them how, even when he says stop, they didn't. They hurt him the way they never realised that it's affecting him greatly. Frustration and stress has built its way to his body as he cries himself. It only hurts them even more when they realise that he's trying to quiet down his cry.
Emu has already broken down by how she has affected him so much it makes him cry. She cried at how she should've realised it was too much for him. She's sensitive to feelings right? Why can't she actually feel the bleeeegh feelings that latched on Tsukasa??
Nene can feel her eyes prickling with tears. She has done this. She has made him cry. Not of happiness, not of dying of laughter, no nothing. She made him cry tears of sadness. What she promised not to upset people close to her, has broken down. Why? Is all she wanted to ask herself.
Rui didn't cry. No tears have made its way to his eyes. But his heart that feels the warmth of laughter suddenly goes cold when Tsukasa shouts stop and he feels empty because of how Tsukasa confesses his feelings about the jokes they've made. He should be mad. Tsukasa yelled at his childhood friend again -at him and Emu too- , but he knows it's their fault for upsetting him until he cries. He failed another friend, it seems.
No one has said a word before Tsukasa runs away from the Wonder Stage. Everyone was shocked and tried to chase him, but he ran faster and out of everyone's sight. He also left his bag too. His phone is with him, right? Maybe they can call him.
But Rui stopped Emu's attempt to call Tsukasa.
“Maybe we should let him calm down first. We can apologise to him when he calms down. “ Emu was hesitant, but nodded anyway, and put her phone in her pocket.
Nene starts sobbing, “How are we so blind to his frustration..? Weren't we all just joking before..?”
Words are like arrows. When you says bad things about them, it's like an archer shoots an arrow at them.
And they're the archers to Tsukasa.
[I'm writing this late so uhh... might be OCC. Forgive me.]
