2023 Top ♥

Tagged by @someone-elsa and @shesthespinstersimmer ♥ Thanks a lot !

I didn't remember doing all that this year !

Thanks a lot to everyone who's been following me through this journey. 2023 was one of the worst year of my life but also one of the best weirdly so let's hope 2024 will be better for everyone ♥

below the cut I'll put the link and explanations for each edit

1/ The Moonlight/Moonwood Tales concept : Based on the lore that came with the werewolves pack, I imagined a story that would explain everything between the werewolves, vampires and spellcasters. I actually prepared a plan for season 1 ... Maybe I'll post it next year ?

2/ The stories I planned for this year but so far, only Melodia is still going. DH3 will start next year sadly and Another Side has been cancelled because of lack of time and a bad computer.

3/ Aïssa in the city : a special photoshoot/lookbook with some items I love and also a small interview including infos about DH2 and 3. It's also a way for me to show more about Aïssa's modeling life. The title is also a reference to the upcoming spin-off about her ...

4/ The DH3 women and the DH3 gang because I want you to love them when the story will start !

5/ The EDGEWAVE fest organised by @aniraklova ♥ It surely was my favourite event this year ! What an awesome idea it was and a lot of people did amazing stuff during 2 weeks ! You saved our summer for sure ! I used Candy Bher as a reference to Another Side and MOON who's a character in DH3 ...

6/ Toxic Don ! A potential new Another Side story I've been thinking about years now ... It would be fun !

7/ The Ghostface DH3 edits : It's a reference to DH3 and Scream of course; the plot will be a tribute to Wes Craven actually !

8/ The Melodia musical video part : it actually was awesome and fun to create but it took me an entire month just for this little video. I decided to stick to a more boring regular way to post this story. I also don't have a lot of readers so far so I guess they will forgive me. I still see it as one of my biggest achievement here though so check it if you can ^^ I love how the episode turns into a musical movie

9/ @windbrook's Slashed Challenge : it was one of my favourite CAS challenge of all time ^^ I'm a huge slasher fan ! It was perfect for simblreen and people created awesome characters and stories !

10/ A makeover of the Three Sages that comes with Realm of Magic : Ana Mae is actually an original OCs, they all should appear in DH4 and 5 ... Morgyn should be very important in DH4 actually ...

11/ URBZ Mag DH3 edition ! Get the girls part here and the boys part there ♥ I love doing fake interviews and mag covers ! Sorry not sorry

12/ Valentines day ♥ My favourite is the one with the Destiny, Leïla and Aïssa because it's funny and feminist, what this trio is together ! They surely had a great night that day, it's also supposed to happen after Melodia so ...

13 / Franck and Madame Sophie : the first drag sims I create ! I wanted one for the Aïssa spin-off so I guess it will be them :)

14/ Recent edits I like : Maria Perron for @birdietrait's coven (I love her and I'd love to make a little story about her) / An other Another Side new idea focused on Venessa Jeong / Destiny's last portrait for the ocs associations

15/ My favourite gif coming from Another Side Episode 1 : I think it's the best ending for this episode as it shows all the plots and times together. Everytime I see it I want to get back to the story ...

Tagging @trippisimmies @badwoohoo @bobnewbie @uwutrait @frzr-bunny @windbrook @eslanes @budgie2budgie @nefarrilou @kashisun @birdietrait @castawavy @agena87 @fangs-trait @peonypyxels @barbieaiden @void-imp @ladybugsimblr @xldkx @nilonne @bakersimmer @whyhellosims @mangosimoothie @djservo @sea-cross @surely-sims @hufflepuff-sim @aniraklova @therichantsim @wolfavens @cinamun @alelelesimz @moontaart @pralinesims @cyberth0t @squea @helloavocadooo @cross-design @rebouks @crazy-lazy-elder-sims and anyone else who'd like to join ♥ feel free to tag me or ignore this as well ^^ (Also, check out these blogs, they're all great !)

James and Sirius would sometimes disappear for a few days and sometimes a whole week together, for 'bonding time' with barely any informations. They kiss their boyfriends goodbyes because they aren't animals but they have happened to suddenly leave as if they both got struck by the need at the same time.

Remus and Regulus never really complain about that co-dependence of theirs since they always come back in one piece, without dragging troubles, so they also take the time for themselves. Of course they miss them but they rarely leave for long so it's fine.

Apparently they do many different things during their 'bonding times' but they only discover the truth when Remus and Regulus decide to take a walk through Muggle London, chatting about books and joking that their boyfriends have anniversaries like couples, when they see James and Padfoot winning the first prize of Crufts, the largest dog competition in the world, on the TV of the cafe they stopped by.

Sirius and James first applied as a joke but they took it personnaly when Padfoot lost against some b*tch.

Hamefura Bonus Story : Be happy

This is a story about Raphael and his mother. I personnaly found it so touching and sweet, really one of my favorite ! Raphael's mother was like her son, very gentle and strong !

My family was not very wealthy.

However, my parents gave me a lot of love, and for the sake of my future, they forced me to enroll in a school of etiquette.

However, due to overwork, my parents passed away due to an epidemic while I was still in school.

Losing my parents, whom I loved so much, and being all alone, made me sad, but I did my best not to waste what my parents had done for me, and I graduated from school safely.

And just then, a vacancy became available at Marquis Deek's household, and I was appointed as a servant.

I'm an underling maid, but if I have a background of working for the marquis house, I won't have trouble finding a job in the future.

My future is secure.

This is all thanks to my parents sending me to school.

Let's work hard.

I started working with that enthusiasm, but...

For some reason, I, who was an underling, caught the attention of the master of the marquis house, and ended up being made to be his partner for the night.

Eventually, I became pregnant with a child.

It was never the pregnancy I wanted.

Still, I was happy to think that I, who had become all alone, could have a family again.

That's why, when the Marchioness turned her hatred on me, who seemed to have realized I was pregnant... I quietly escaped from the mansion to protect my child.

I moved far away from the mansion and I started making all kinds of preparations.

I no longer had relatives I could rely on, but I had saved up the wages I had received from the marquis' household and spent very little, so I wouldn't have to work for a while.

But I can't give birth to a child alone, so I have to ask for help.

When I started preparing for the birth of my child, there were so many things I had to do, and time passed by in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, a kind old lady who lived next door to the house I rented offered to help me after giving birth for a small amount of my pocket money.

After a long and painful process, I finally held my baby in my hands, and I felt so moved that tears naturally started to flow.

I had been left all alone, but now I had a precious family again, and I would do anything for this child. That's what I thought.

I named my lovely son, with red hair and grey eyes, Raphael.

And I decided to give him the same love I had received from my parents.

When Raphael got a little older, I left him with the old lady next door and went to work.

The money I had saved at the marquis' house was running low, and I needed to earn enough money to live with Raphael.

Of course, I didn't tell the marquis' family, and I never told to anyone around me about his father.

When I remembered the hatred-filled eyes that the Marchioness used to look at me, I thought in my heart that it would be better not to get involved.

I love tea, so my kind son desperately makes tea for me with his small hands.

How lucky I am to have such a son.

That's what I always thought every time I saw Raphael.

I was really happy, imagining that I would be able to spend my days in a modest and warm way and one day see the lovely bride that this kind son of mine would bring home to me.

And yet...

My son's mouth was covered with a cloth and he was pinned to the cold floor.

"Stop it !!! "

I screamed desperately, but the man pinned me to the floor.

Why, why did this happen ?

"Please don't treat that child's body roughly That body will belong to my precious Sirius."

It was the Marchioness Deek who said that and looked at me with the same hatred-filled eyes as ten years ago.

I don't understand the meaning of this situation at all.

All of a sudden, I was brought in, beaten, and hurt, all of which I couldn't understand.

But all I know is that they are going to do something bad to my precious son.

"…… Marchioness, if you hate me, I don't care what you do to me ……so please, please don't do anything to my son ……."

I pleaded desperately, but the Marquise's behaviour did not change.

"What an brazen woman ! The woman who stole my husband and even gave her a child still says what she wants ?! "

That's what the Marchioness said, but it wasn't true at all.

"…… I was only appointed as a temporary partner by the Marquis. I have no intention of approaching the Marquis again. I just want to live quietly with my child."

In fact, the Marquis probably doesn't even remember me anymore. He probably doesn't even know that he has a son. So I want him to leave us alone.

"...I will never allow you, you and your child, to live happily ever after !...Start !"

My voice did not reach the Marchioness.

A black man wearing all black clothes stood in front of me and began muttering words I had never heard before.

Then, I felt a strong shock to my body.

Oh, I'm no good now. That's what I understood.

I don't feel anything in my body.

I vaguely saw Raphael coming towards me.

If I could move my hands the way I want, I would want to touch your cheek and wipe away your tears...

Don't cry, Raphael.

A kind and proud son.

I was so happy to give birth to you and spend time with you.

So please, you too...

"... Please... live, survive, be happy... I love you..."

★★★★★

When I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling there, which I was finally getting used to seeing, and remembered that this was a room in the Ministry of Magic dormitory that I was renting.

It has been a few weeks since I, Raphael Walt, started working for the Ministry of Magic.

That day, after Catarina called me by my real name and the black man disappeared from my mind, I started dreaming about Mom more often.

They were mostly happy ones, not the ominous ones I used to have, such as being hugged …… in my childhood, being stroked on the head, and being praised for the tea I made for my mom.

Also, the last appearance of mom... Now that I think about it again, she was looking at me with a very gentle gaze.

The hatred and sorrow are not gone.

Even so, it was definitely thanks to her that I was able to live without being trapped in the past.

From now on, I will live to be happy, as my mother said in her last words.

It may not be easy for me, who has committed various crimes so far...

To that end, let's do what we can do now.

I got out of bed, got dressed, and headed to my assigned department at the Ministry of Magic.

Since I always arrive early, I haven't seen any other employees yet, and I was alone in the quiet room getting ready for work when there was a knock on the door.

It didn't seem like there was an employee who came in like this in this department, I wondered who it was.

"Come in"

When I replied,

"Excuse me"

The one who came in saying that was Nicol Ascart, a beautiful young man with black hair and dark eyes.

"Eh, why are you here ?"

I was so surprised that I forgot to use honorifics and just asked him.

"I had something to do at the Ministry of Magic, so I stopped by while I was there."

Nicol said that with his usual expressionless expression, and she held out a large bag.

"It seems that the student council members gave this to you. I received it yesterday."

“Eh, thank you.”

The bag I received was heavy and filled with sweets, tea leaves, vegetables, etc.

And there was a piece of paper placed on top of the bag that said, "Do your best at your job."

I recognized the not-so-good characters. She often spread out her notebook in the student council room.

"……Thank you"

I held the bag I received close to my chest, and when I muttered that again, my expressionless friend simply nodded.

The weight of the bag in my arms made me think that maybe I was already happy.

Hi I really like your art and I wanted to know how you see Jean and Harry’s relationship after the events. Does he feel anger towards Kim for essentially”taking” Harry. Thanks <3

Thank you !! Well I'm glad you like my art and I have a whole explanation and almost essay incoming so bare with me lol.

Jean isn't angry at Kim because he's been shown admiring him and almost being honored that Kim is even "there" at the end of the game, he has a lot of respect towards him. What would happen reguarding Kim though is Jean having a feeling of jealousy or envy over the fact Kim is able to have such a stable relationship with Harry and even worse Kim seems to have a good impact and influence on Harry where Jean is faced with his own failure and inability to help him during all those years (4). He would end up in a circle of guilt and self-loathing toward that fact, Harry and Jean are really codependent after all. He would love to have what Kim and Harry have since this is what he's been longing for a long time as their relationship escalated pre Martinaise. My guess is, it was fun at first when they met, until it wasn't anymore and became a nightmare over the years. (I could go on about my thoughts on what happened during pre Martinaise and how it ended up being a fiasco for them but I will keep it short.)

I feel like the relationship between Harry and Jean post Martinaise would be tense at first, Jean would be stuck with a "new Harry" that seems to be a half or even a quarter version of the old one. He's not the Harry he knew once, but it's still him on so many levels that it's hard to even digest that, it's a whole process of grief for someone who's not even dead. He would be more distant toward Harry sometimes, sometimes closer, but there would still be that air of uneasiness around as long as they don't talk out unsettled matters on Jean's part. Harry doesn't remember any of it so he's not really the one who is bothered by it directly, however his empathy would just scream at him how much something is wrong and out of place. Jean wouldn't be the one to bring it up in an attempt to protect Harry from his old self. Because he would prefer sacrificing himself in a fear Harry might come back to that old toxic, abusive and self destructive man he was. At this point it's a self inflected wound but Jean would be the type to do that, he mentionned how much they were garbage but somehow he STILL wants Harry back, he just loves the man to no end, he talks about themselves as if they knew each others since 10 years and not 4.

That's why I see him having a short temper with Harry because he still has matters unresolved, it just gets him as a reflex too, always on his guard, is Harry going to go back to how he was ? Of course he wouldn't there's Kim and months passed but Jean is still on fucking edge, years of babysitting a grown ass man and emotionnal abuse don't disappear in a few months.

I personnaly went with the route of having Harry sober for good but being a complete weirdo nonetheless who sometimes has heavy meltdown. In my version of Harry he gets way better with the help of Kim and Kim gets more open about himself the longer he stays with Harry as a new partner. Thing is, slowly Harry will return to be in charge of the Crime Unit giving Jean some slack about being the superior of everyone when actually Harry should have been.

Anyway I hope you liked that little rant I went on about. I could go on and on about what would happen after but basically their relationship as long as they didn't have a serious talk would be somehow unsteady. With up and downs but mostly on Jean's part, and Harry would have a hard time addressing the elephant in the room.

Astral energy or whatever yatta yatta sense that a new time of lewd is comming! Welcome!

A simple to start, Shuichi gets ready and enters hopes peak for his very first day! Making some heads from the prettiest girls he ever meet turn at the sight of his cute face, massive femboy butt (optional) and looking small but actually massive bulge-donk (optional, I quite like dick shock and size surprise, so having bulge looks small but dicks massive is a stuff I do)

But before any can go and meet him more personnaly, the ultra famous queen of the school junko comes in the lewdest attire imaginable, call him big bro and pull him in a closet with her for a ultra sloppy lewd make out session (and her own plowing)

Shuichi was finally starting to feel proud of himself, finally making it into a school like Hope’s Peak was a dream come true for the detective! Even if he was quite embarrassed over the amount of stares he was receiving from girls eyeing him up and down especially his rear end. Before he knew it however right in front of him was none other than Junko Enoshima herself!

“Hey Big Bro~! Why don’t you come follow me this way?”

“H-Huh?! Wait where’re we-“

Before he could even respond the next thing he knew was that the two were in a very tight closet with his face pushed right up against her massive rack, before they started a deep sensual kiss.

“God you have such a cute face, Shuichi~! And now let’s get to the exciting part~”

Junko said while licking her lips before being shocked by a massive cock popping out, causing her heart to skip a beat! She had not expected that at all.

It was a few hours before the two left after that had happened… however many that passed by could have sworn they heard clapping sounds as the two soon walked out disheveled. Shuichi was going to be just fine here.

I was wondering whether you think Bathildis regina voluntarily retired as regent or whether court factionalism caused her too?

Hello, anon ! I think it's both.

First of all, we know for sure that a lot of things happened before her official retirement, such as the death of one of her most closest allies, Bishop Sigobrandus of Paris, who was allegedly killed for being a bad influence over her and the regency council (at least that's what he was blamed for, but to me, it mostly sounds like a later wrapped-up justification from some chroniclers to explain why that man was killed, and defend in the same time the memory of "Good Blessed Saintly Queen" Bathildis, who was already an important saintly figure at that time). And from that specific mention, we can draw the conclusion that Bathildis indeed lived in a complicated time, with a lot of tension and political schemes, and then conclude that she was ultimately forced to retire herself by some combination of court factionalism.

That's at least the opinion of the majority of historians. But I personnaly find that proposition quite inaccurate and a little bit too deminishing, especially if we see the result as : a woman who is once again submitted by some men and forced to withdraw herself despite her own will.

I also think that the historical figure of Ebronius, her well-known nemesis in the eye of many historians, is a very easy scapegoat if we alledge the fact that he was a very hated man in his time for being from a non-aristocratic background and that his memory has been the object of a damnatio memoriae for centuries now. Of course, it's tempting to blame him for being the sole perpetrator of Bathildis' removal from the court, and her ultimate retreat in the Abbey of Chelles, like if she was imprisoned or exiled for good. But I think we need to see beyond that.

My take on this specific matter is different: for me, Bathildis was just acting like any other women of authority of her time and most of all, she was wisely presenting herself as the anti-Brunehilde.

Let me explain this: Brunehilde was a very influential figure during her first time as a regent, but both her downfall and death were a very gruesome proof of what could possibly happen to a woman who defy the laws of her gender. Indeed, what ultimately works against Brunehilde was that she was seen as transgressing figure who coopted power from men, i.e. her son, grandsons and great-grandsons. No matter how good her relationships with them were, or how relatable she was towards them, she was seen by others as a woman who was refusing to submit to public withdraw of senior women and widows, and alledgely mingled in political matters whereas she was strongly advised not to do so. And so by that, she litterally created a force of opposition against her: at the moment of her death, she was seen as a bad queen, which later wow her to be labelized as a Jezebel-like queen, the most insulting parallel someone can draw to describe a royal woman's behavior.

On the contrary, Bathildis removed herself from public view and litterally abided by the principles of her gender, letting her sons ruled by themselves whithout being an overly controlling figure like Brunehilde was herself and thus being a more discreet figure. Therefore, she marked herself as an anti-Brunehilde, consciously or not as we don't know for sure if she was really working on a strategy or no. Furthermore, it's really important to note that in some sources, Bathildis is also presented like a Jezebel figure and a bishop's killer, meaning that at some point, Bathildis' power was perhaps seen as an emulation of Brunehilde's controversial figure. Therefore perhaps explaining why she chose to retreat in order to prevent her to be harshly treated like Brunehilde had been…

My honest, humble, and not-objective-at-all opinion about LORDS OF THE SITH

LORDS OF THE SITH by Paul S. Kemp, published in 2015 (canon)

Real quick plot summary : The Free Ryloth Movement, led by Chad Syndulla, attempts a massive attack on the imperial forces, in hope of killing Darth Vader and the Emperor and strike a fatal blow to the Empire. Things didn't exactly go as planned.

I've FINALLY managed to finished the book, started weeks (months?) ago. Actually, I finished it less than 15 minutes ago. And I really enjoyed it. So why did it took me so long ? I'll go back to that point later.

First of all, let me tell you I didn't exactly found in this book what I expected to find. And in a good way. Judging by the cover and the resume, I was prepared for a book mostly about the Emperor and Vader, but I'd say approximatively half the book is about them directly. (I mean, with the exterior narrator talking about them.) The rest of the book is about Cham and his movement, the Twi'lek rebels, and his relationship with Isval. And Isval was my favorite character in the book, she was really well written and her story is so interesting. Kemp managed to bring so more life in all these secondary characters.

I'll try to be cohesive because since I've just finished the book but begun it long ago, I have to go back to my notes about the first half.

I've loved learning things about the Twi'lek's history and traditions. I finally know why some male twi'leks have sharpen teeth and not female ! (In case you don't know, well, that's tradition. But Isval sharpened hers to show she's a hunter too.)

The whole passage of the book with Isval going downtown to literaly hunt imperials and save prostitutes Twi'leks gave me goosebumps. Definitively not a thing I was expecting in a « Sith Lords » book, but it was awesome, so dark, so shady, I was feeling the unhealthy atmosphere of the district. First I was thinking «��Ok, he's suggesting she's a former sexual slave and that this is the kind of district these things happen in. » And then I was like « Ok that's not suggested anymore, that's pretty explicit right now. » I didn't expect a Star Wars book to talk to me about sexual abuse and prostitution, but boy it was so strong and hard to read.

And to be honest, I'm really thankful to Kemp for not being patronizing about it. Isval is not a broken little thing, she's a warrior, she had a really bad time in her life, and now she's fighting to help other girls, and she's fueled by hate.

And about Isval, her relationship with Cham was really touching as well. We kinda see it grows before our eyes, not invading the mission nor polluting their discussions, but slowly showing more and more, from chief to subordinate, friend to friend, freedom fighter to freedom fighter, and finally acknowledging that from the very beginning, they were more than that but never had the opportunity to take their chance.

We'll talk a bit about the Sith side of the book too. It was very enjoyable. Exploring the relation between Vader and the Emperor felt like a force hand tightening your chest. The Emperor is perpetually testing Vader (and everyone else). Everything he does, everything he says, has a purpose. This man isn't tied by the mortal rules of luck and probability. Everything is planned and calculated. And Vader knows it. Every word the Emperor speak has a reason, and Vader is like « What did he mean ? » and then « Ok, that's what he meant. »

Vader having flashes of his past life, his former friends, the Clone Wars, Padmé... Every one was heartbreaking and the Emperor KNOWS it. He used them, to keep Vader hateful, to constantly remind him he's a tool of a greater force, and every sentences he said could have been finished by « So... who's the boss ? ».

He's the boss.

You can feel how strong and inflexible they are, there is so many good descriptions of their strenght and determination.

A bit about the secondary characters : I liked Belkor, he was interesting. I liked seeing how he slowly turn insane through the book, ending up talking to a corpse. He's the opposite of the Emperor, having to constantly change his plans depending on other people or just because of misfortune, being manipulated and mocked, and finally snapping out of his mind because of pressure.

Moff Mors was cool too. I would have love to learn more about her, about her past life, but the little we know about her explains perfectly who she is. I felt a little frustrated by never knowing what happen to her at the end, because I personnaly doubt the Emperor will forgive years of non-interference and laziness (damn she was supposed to handle Ryloth!). It's implicitly said she's redeeming herself, but seriously, Palps, do you even redeem bro ?

My biggest problem with this book can be resumed in one word : LYLEKS. The passage with the Emperor and Vader fighting Lyleks was way way way way too loooooooong. I really felt it like a break in the momentum. And speaking of break, I had mine at this point. Bad luck, but hard weeks of work happened at this moment in my life, I had to put the book down while reading this passage, and it was hard coming back to it. Everytime I was reopening the book and seing the Lyleks everywhere I was like « Nobody got time fo' that ». It was a real let down.

To be honest, it almost felt like this whole passage was added in the book completely artificially. Like Kemp has finished his book and the editor said « Hey man that's a cool book you wrote, but what about more Sith kung-fu fighting ? Like, maybe, 40 pages of it ? »

It felf so weird and useless compared to the rest of the book. So unnatural. And it's the only part of the book where I've found severe incoherences. Vader deigniting his lightsaber two times on the same page (without having turning it on in the meantime), and few pages later the same thing but this time with igniting it. Like this passage was rushed and hadn't been seriously reread and corrected.

This was a serious problem because as soon as I've finished the Lyleks passage, and Vader and Palps were running into the young Twi'lek girl in the forest and then heading toward her village, the tension was back again, the apprehension of what was going to happen next, and everything then come one after another very smoothly and I was trapped again in the suspense.

So WHY ? Why would you stop this so effective momentum with an endless fight when we all know the outcome of the fight ?

This being said, what would be my opinion on Lords of the Sith ?

PRO :

- So much characterization. Every character is unique, even the secondary ones. Every motivation, backstory, personnality is understandable and relatable. That's for me the strongest force of the book.

- A good story. That may sound stupid but it's not. Writing a original story in a so vast universe isn't easy. You can't just repeat things that have aleady been told in another Star Wars media, you have to be creative. In this book the stakes are high for the heroes, but may seems lower on the scale of the galaxy. The whole point is... will it be the case ?

- The suspense. Like I've already said, having appealing secondary characters is a licensed book is super important to keep the suspense. Sure, Palps, Vader and Cham won't die. But you don't know about the other ones. And you care about them. You've learnt to know them, to love them.

CON :

THE LYLEEEEEEEEKS

TO CONLUDE :

A very important book to read. Don't expect to see crazy sith things all the time like you may think you will because of the cover. You'll see some sith shits (like Vader boarding a enemy ship alone in deep space), but that's not what important (yet that's impressive, to say the least). You'll learn about Vader, how he feels, his anger, his neverending pain, you'll learn about life on Ryloth, slavery, humiliation of having your planet under imperial jurisdiction. You'll learn about imperials too, human being working for the Empire, how they feel too, their backstory, how they are not just bad guys in uniform blindly following orders.

That's a very deep book for so many reasons (except Lyleks.)

I hoped you liked this review, I'm sorry about the time it took me to write it down. I may take a break because the next book I'll read won't be a Star Wars book (but a book lended to me by a friend so I have to finished it to give it back).

With the hot days slowly returning I have hope to read more seriously in the times to come, because one thing I enjoy is reading in the sun, but as always I won't make any promises I can't keep. I still have to write some reviews for old books I've read (Dark disciple, Wrath of Darth Maul, Ahsoka...) and still got new books to read (including Bloodline), but they will come in time.

As always, take care of yourself, of your surroundings, and enjoy :) Tagging @maulpunk !

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND when writting Solangelo, Will and Nico :

I wanted something to remember myself and others of a few things that are important and/or that I are often forgotten in solangelo fics.

While I understand that perfectly respecting everything about a character might be hard nd block creativity, I personnaly prefer when characters are as much in character and as close to their original content conterpart as possible.

After all, I look for solangelo fics to read solangelo not some other pairing/characters vaguely resembling them.

So here is the list : * While they haven't been shown holding hands or doing other physically « intimate » gestures like hugging, cuddling or kissing, they still touch each other by bumping their shoulders constantly, sitting close to one another or placing their hands on each other shoulders. And for Nico this is already HUGE !!! Remember how he hates people touching him ? => I HC that they only hold hands and stuff like that when there is no one around. And little by little, Nico will learn to be more openly and publicly affectionate with his bae, but that will take time and probably will never be huge on PDA.

* Nico is from the 30's. So not only was he raised in another time, with old fashioned ideas about many many many things, but he also grew up in fascist Italy that considered homosexuals as deviants. Being who he is would have been not only illegal but also very dangerous back then. And for him this was like 4 years ago, not 70 years ago. Even in ToA, 6 months after starting to accept himself, and while dating Will, he is shown to still be struggling with it, if he rejection of the word boyfriend is any indication. So this, his struggle with being gay, his fears of people’s reactions and his difficulties to accept his feelings and himself, has to influence his behaviour. even in AUs

* Due to all the traumatic events that he had to go through, Nico likely suffers from : PTSD (nightmares, hyperawareness of his surounding and any sudden movement or sound, survivor guilt, etc...), anxiety, social anxiety, abandonment issues, trust issues, self-esteem and self-caring issues. And all these have to show and play a part in how he interacts and connects to others. Including his crush/boyfriend.

* Will also came through a bunch of traumatic shists that shaped him : going to war, losing a lot of siblings, in some cases right in front of him, people he hasn't been able to save while he is a powerful healer, becoming counselor very young becuse he had to after the loss of his older siblings, while mourning them and taking care of his younger siblings, etc. … We also don't know why he is a year-round camper.

* They both have deep rooted insecurities, and pobably self-esteem issues too. => HC that it migh create some issues between them because their insecurities would make them think (and therefore say or do) stupid things. Like for instance when Nico got jealous when Will looks at Paolo's arms.

* They spend as much time as they can together. And I have the feeling that it is mostly Will who initiates it. The only time when Nico openly asked to stay with Will was when the camp was under attack. => not that Nico does not want to take any opportunity to be with his « significant annoyance » but he is not yet in a place where he is comfortable enough to be that open about it.

* They almost constantly bicker like an old married couple … and still manage to look adorable while doing so, apparently.

* Humour seems to be an important part of their interactions/relationship. But they can also be serious and reasonable when needed.

* Will keeps giving Nico sarcastic nicknames such as : Lord of Darkness, Ghost King, etc. (probably just to annoy Nico)

* They don't hesitate to telll the other when he says or does something wrong or unsensitive.

* They are very supportive and caring of each other and seem to understand each other very well. => HC that this is because, despite appearances and what one would think, they have a lot in common in terms of values and personnality : they are both compassionante, caring, selfless, brave, stubborn, aggravating, had to grow up very quickly at a young age, both harbor deep insecurities, etc. Honestly they are very well matched and balanced, personnality wise or even abilities wise and this could deserve a dedicated post in itself.

A few things that are not direcly related to their relationship but might still have some influence or that I have seen forgotten too many times in fanfics : * Nico is mostly recovered from everything that happened during the previous series. But he still has issues with his most draining magical tricks, like shadow travel.

* And while Will is aware of that, he does not seem to be forbidding or reproaching Nico from using it anyway. There might have been restrictions the first weeks/months but not anymore and Will did not freak out when Nico shadow traveled in ToA.

* Nico almost never swears and generally speaks politely. He IS very sarcastic and blunt. But he will say please, thank you etc. even to the deads that he controls or even when he is upset. So please people stop making him use fuck like a coma.

* Will has yet to be seen swearing. But he has a more laid-back way of speaking (I think? As a foreigner it is alittle hard to say for me) and can make health related jokes or insults.

* Will is heavily implied to have had a hardcore crush on Nico for a long (but undetermined) amount of time. => HC that they are each other first ralationship because Will does not seem the type to date someone while he is pinning for someone else.

This list was inspired by my post for the second day of @solangeloweek . I will probably edit and update it when I have time because this will be a tool for me when drawing/writting/HC solangelo.

If you want to discuss any of these or add more please leave a comment or contact me ^_^

Have a good day !

Saw TROS - spoilers ahead, don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled

I need to get some things off my chest to sort out my feelings about this movie :)

It wasn’t as /bad/ as I expected. Let’s say I didn’t get bored. However, there was a lot of stuff I found weird, dumb or that didn’t make sense to me. A lot of things seemed rushed and like last minute additions, which spoiled a bit my enjoyment of this movie. So here’s a little summary of what I liked and didn’t like.

((Before reading, please be aware that i’m a hux fan and a multishipper (reylo included). If this bothers you, please avoid reading this post, since this will probably influence my perception of the movie))

⛔⛔ SPOILERS JUST BELOW - BE WARNED ⛔⛔

What I liked :

Finn finding other stormtroopers having defected (a whole battalion, even), and realizing that he’s not alone. Even if it was to be expected, Finn was always presented as an exception in the story. This shows us the First Order’s stormtrooper program isn’t as efficient in its brainwashing as they claim to be.

Hux being a spy for the Resistance. I know some Hux fans may not have liked it, but I personally found it to be an interesting development in his character. It’s not everyday that a high ranking officer, who’s been a ‘true believer’ in the cause his whole life, changes side like that. I wish it would have been explored more deeply and seriously. Too bad it felt like a last minute addition.

This idea that “some things are stronger than blood”. Rey’s ancestry doesn’t matter, doesn’t influence her destiny. Light side or Dark: what matters is who she chooses to be.

CGI young Luke and Leia flashback (I’m really a fan of this CGI way of bringing back younger versions of actors, the result is always quite realistic imo).

This cute and polite new little robot, D-0 . So sad to learn it was abused by its former master :’(

Kylo’s clothes changing when turning back to the Light. Bye bye black menacing attire and long cape, hello simple shirt and pants. Even if I loved his former look, I quite liked this one as well, it made him appear more “human”. Also, damn, I really found Kylo to be a treat in this movie, he looked so good!

Rey always making a difference between Ben and Kylo Ren : she makes it clear that what interest her is Ben, ie. the Light side of him. It is only after he turns back to the Light for good, after he becomes Ben again, that he earns her trust and love.

Rey lethaly wounding Kylo, then healing him. Because it really seems to be the thing that shook this boy’s soul and made him turn back to the Light (it’s a big part of why, at least). Also, I’m always a sucker for nice characters showing compassion towards villains.

That reylo kiss tho. I know this is a very controversial ship, but since TFA, I was personally certain something deep was going to happen between those 2. I’m glad it was a cute, sweet and hopeful kiss, right after Kylo saved Rey no less. We even get some Ben Smile™. I really wish the movie would have ended here and there, on this hopeful note.

A lot of Hux’s scenes, since I just like him a lot, and he looks both cute and funny (even if I don’t really appreciate how this character was turned into a joke after TFA). Him being unsettled by Kylo having his mask back on, and then saying fearfully how it ‘looks good’ when Kylo calls him out on it in front of everyone. Kylo waving his finger at Hux to shut him up. The whole interaction with Finn and Poe, how they were surprised he was the spy, how he helped them escape, how he asked to be shot to pretend he was taken hostage, the “I don’t care who wins, I just want Kylo Ren to lose” line, etc. Also, how strong his mind must be if he managed to hide the fact he was the spy from Kylo for so long (or did Kylo know and just ignored it?)

What I didn’t like

Rey being Palpatine’s granddaughter and all her powers coming from him. I’m disappointed, because what really interested me in this character since TFA is that she was a nobody. Star Wars had always been centered around the Skywalker family and its Exceptional Destiny™. It was nice for a change to see someone who came from nothing be the main protagonist and shake up the galaxy just because it was the right thing to do (a parallel to Finn, a simple and almost exceedingly banal stormtrooper who chose to become something more, and wasn’t pushed by some hidden destiny/heritage). Also, this whole Palaptine arc seemed like it was added at the last minute.

The whole ‘Palpatine is back and wants to make a new Empire’ shit. For me, Palpatine was really a thing of the past. That’s also what interested me in the First Order: the fact this was a regime built on the ruins of the Empire, having evolved under its shadow and memory, but wanting to become something more. It was a good way of exploring the “how the past can influence the present” thematic, and could be used as an interesting parallel to IRL authoritatian regimes reclaiming a glorious past. If Palpatine was behind everything from the beginning, nothing of this matters. Also, what was the deal with Snoke, then? Was he a mere creation of Palpatine from the beginning? Or a real being that got captured and manipulated? What was the point of this character?

Hux’s death. Like, I may be biased because he’s my favorite character, but his death was so rushed and unnecessary. Did he really need to be killed off by Pryde like that, in such a quick and callous way? With Phasma and Snoke gone, he was the only one left in the First Order to have a past history with Kylo. I think it would have been better to have them interact more, especially with the whole story of Hux being a spy. It would have created some interesting interactions. Also, he’s not anybody storywise: he’s one of the architects of the First Order’s rise to power, perfected the Stormtrooper program, participated in the creation of Starkiller Base, gave the order to destroy the Republic... He’s not some random underling. Nobody seems to react or care when he’s killed off out of the blue, which doesn’t make any sense storywise.

The whole character of Allegiant General Pryde. What was even the point of this character? Where does he come from? What did he do that Hux couldn’t have done? The only interesting thing about this character seems to be that he already served Palpatine during the Empire, but after this fact is stated, it doesn’t come up again and doesn’t really influence the story. He doesn’t do anything extraordinary, just gives random orders. Clearly a waste, imo.

The fact that the Rose/Finn thing is completely abandoned. I know a lot of people didn’t like that kiss in TLJ. I personnaly didn’t really care. But it’s weird it’s never mentioned again, and that even in the few interactions those characters have together, there’s no awkwardness, no aknowledgement that it ever happened (even just to say “we moved on”). It’s like it never even existed. What was the point of that kiss, then?

That weird love triangle thing I felt between Rey/Finn/Poe, and the hostility Poe seemed to have towards Rey for a good part of the movie. I really wonder if they didn’t try to subtly cater to Finn/Rey shippers (by making Finn seem in love with Rey) and to Finn/Poe shippers (by making Poe seem in love with Finn, and jealous towards Rey), while nothing clear is ever stated out loud. Of course, I may have misread the vibes, but that’s what their interactions made me think of.

Kylo’s death. Like, I may here again be biased because I like redemption stories, but was it really necessary to have him die right when he turns back to the Light? I was so hopeful for him, and it was all gone in an instant. Also, his death was very weird and seemed rushed. Rey kisses him, he smiles, he seems quite fine and not /at all/ on the verge of death, and then he just loses conciousness and disappears? What even was that?? (also, very sad to make that whole family die off without having known any true happiness away from Palpatine’s manipulations)

Stuff overwhelming the story: too many big revelations, too many powerful ships appearing out of the blue, too many weird stuff happening with Palpatine (wtf was that ‘ritual’ even? what was this shadowy audience he had?). Just...a lot of stuff to digest. And the Palpatine storyline seemed like it was added out of the blue. Nothing in the 2 last movies gave a clue about this (or it wasn’t obvious). Seemed like a cheap last minute addition..

So.. *take a deep breath girl* today, something happened, something really unfair for the french swifties.

No need to mention that we still have zero information from NRJ radio station (who were supposed to make us win tickets for the city lover concert). They keep telling us to listen their radio but never mention the contest. Wtf

Here's why this is problematic :

Anyway. So... With even let us know that it will happen, many of us has received a mail, telling us that whe could immediately BUY a ticket for the concert (limited editions of only 200 tickets) with a whole Box (lover album, and other extra things).

1) because it was supposed to be a free concert, a private concert, where you can only WIN tickets

4) honestly, if I have to pay to go to this show, I will 100%. But they didnt even tell us that this opportunity was coming until it actually happened. So most of all didnt get the chance to buy a ticket because we weren't aware of it ! I was personnaly, at work when it happened. Its safe to say that i wasnt on my phone and missed the opportunity.

2) any other country have/had free contest but somehow French swifties had to pay to have tickets

3) most of us have already purshased the album, or box on taylorswift.com but were forced to buy it AGAIN to have a ticket for the concert

💔

How would you have liked Billy’s ending to be, and his possible storyline in a season 3? If you have any thoughts

Well, the fangirl in me didn’t want him to die at all ^^ And I think it could have worked, villains are pretty much as important as the “heroes” in comics and their adaptations. And they actually rarely die. And I mean a permanent death. I definetely think he could have been the Fisk of the Punisher series. THE Villain of the show. Plus, the relationship he has with Frank, and that they invented for the show, adds a really emotional layer to it. It’s all so very tragic and you can’t help but want more, just to torture yourself ^^” These two characters and their relationship really make the show for me.

That said, I do get their reasoning behind the “Billy had to die” plot choice. I’ve read some interviews about it and I could have been cool with it if they had given Billy a proper and fitting ending. But unfortunately, I really hate how they killed him off, and no amount of interviews explaining why they did it like that has changed my mind so far.Especially after everything that happens this season ! The amnesia, the confusion, the shot at redemption, the flashback scenes and all those pieces of dialogues that just confirmed a bit more that they are two brothers, that there’s a bond between them… I wanted and expected more. Some people like it, and think that on the contrary, it was perfect that way, but I think the character deserved a better ending. Frank and Billy’s story deserved a better ending.

I’m not even upset that it’s Frank who kills him, it’s logical, everything led to that (they could have skipped the part where the doctor screws him over and put him in the trash though, like wtf?). But it was so anticlimactic. It was a big whole of nothing (emotion-wise). First I expected a big showdown like in season 1. There was none, but ok, fair enough, it’s not like there weren’t many fight scenes in the season, understandable. But, at the very least, taking care of Billy should have been the last thing Frank did this season. There, he just kills him like he’s some random bad guy, and calmly goes away to go deal with those christians weirdos. Like, whaaaaaat ?? Second, Frank says nothing. He shows nothing. On Billy’s part, there’s a form of acceptance, a relief that it’s Frank, maybe even an apology coming up (writers and BB said it was up to the viewers interpretations, but BB himself thinks he was gonna say “i’m sorry for what I did”), and as for Frank…. well… here goes the nothing I was talking about above, that’s where they failed big time. I am disappointed lol oh I did cry, but it’s more because one of my favorite character was dead, not really because of how emotional the scene was. They did Billy dirty.

Which brings me to the possible S3 storyline ! It’s funny, because I’ve talked a lot about how they could still bring Billy back (if there’s a S3, obviously) with the lovely @stokiometry . Because we just can’t accept that there won’t be any Billy in our futures ok ? And as Frank is someone very tormented by all the demons of his past, the horrors he went through, all this death, it wouldn’t be impossible to imagine him having some kind of “visions” of Billy. A bit like they did in Daredevil and in Jessica Jones. Billy could be “there” to guide him and/or torment him some more, taunt him, joke with him, etc … And obvioulsy, there could be more flashbacks : them together as marines, Billy with his family. Honestly, it would be a shame to completely get rid of him and move on. He was just as important in Frank’s life than his wife & kids. Jon Bernthal said in an interview that he was family to Frank, that what he had with Billy was different that what he has with Curtis, for example.

Now, if we’re talking about a storyline where Billy didn’t die… Hum, if they did go through with that redemption storyline like they hinted to at some point in S2, I would have loved to see some kind of team-up between the 2. Billy doesn’t have to become a truly “good” person, it would be weird. But I’ve always loved the villain/hero relationships where they’re kind of forced to work together, the kinds where it’s more banter and taunting than actual hate and death. Maybe Billy would appear less with this idea, and they would need another major villain, but I personnaly love the idea ! Oh and also, they would need to actually talk, some heartfelt talk between these 2 characters, done by these 2 wonderful and talented actors ?? I’d dream of that lol

This got reaaaaally long, I am so sorry ^^” Thank you if you’ve read this far ♥

Hamefura theory : What would everyone become if Catarina were to disappear ?

Hello ! I'm still working on the translation you asked but while I'm at it I also wrote a theory about that question that I saw on a whim. Honestly I was thinking about it for a long time so it's just perfect ^^

To be honest, I think that if Catarina were to disappear, I can't think about anything other than someone kidnapped her. The reason ? Her dark magic powers ? Her "ability" to see the future in her dreams (if someone happened to discovered it) or maybe just a noble fom a foreign country who took an interest in her ? We have many options. I personnaly think that if that happened, if anyone knew the reason nor where she is I think they would have these reactions :

At first they would look for her as much as they could, so much that they would stop eating and sleeping and even going as far as using dirty ways like bribing for some of them . I don't think they would ever stop, but if we have a very smart mastermind I don't think they could find anything. If that happened and that a long time has passed I think everyone's personnalites would change completely.

I think that everyone who love her would be prey to dark magic since Catarina was like the "sun" for them. Geordo would become a heartless, icy and merciless prince with eyes always empty. Keith would become calm, emotionless and lonely and like Geordo his eyes would always be empty . Alan would become a cold, irritating and selfish prince. Nicol would become a curt, insensitive and cold young man with empty eyes. Mary would be like Geordo, I think , and on the outside she would look like an emotionless doll with an artificial smile and (in the worst case) lose her strong will. Sophia would become the young girl she once was, calm, quaky and timid and with always a sad and broken look in her eyes, after all she would have lost her best friend two times and couldn't do anything about it . Maria would no longer be the cheerful girl we know but an emotionless, insensitive person with no hope in the eyes at all. I think she would also stop using her light magic because she would feel too powerless and useless for being aware of the danger but not being able to help her favorite person in the world despite all she did for her. I also think she would stop cooking because it would bring her too much painful feelings and memories. Sora would start drinking to hide his sorrow (I really hope I'm mistaken for this one) and like the others would become an emotionless, insensitive person with cold eyes, since he would have the feeling that he has lose his most important person a second time. Raphael would become a curt, emotionless and gloomy person since he has lost "the light that shines on him" and would start having his dreadful nightmares again. I think Anne would stop working for the Claes family because of the painful memories and all the servants and her parents would become insensitive and emotionless (especially her father who loves her a lot). Frey and Ginger (and of course all Catarina's fan club) would lose the person they admired the most but I don't known what would be their reactions. I don't really know for Cezar and Aaqil , Maybe Aaqil would no longer be the gentle and caring boy he is now, I think he would have a personnality similar to Raphael, gloomy, curt and emotionless and Cezar would have a personnality similar to Sora.

Ah, I think I'm done ! I know it's really sad but I really thing that it would happen as sad as it is. I'm just not really sure for Sora and Cezar's case. You can listen to his song while reading my theory, it's really touching ^^ Oh, and for those who love tearmoon empire like me, I really recommend it to you, the stories are similar.

What do you think about Zigi situation and the talks going on about it from the media as well as online?

Oh anon why are you making me do this… Well I have time today.

When it comes to online/ fandom let me go by categories.

1- The Ziams & anti-zigis:

These people from the start have been atrocious. Not only have they harassed Gigi & her family but same with Zayn & his family. They have been intrusive and have spread lies online (those so called “exposing accounts”) Whether it’s on IG or Twitter. In my opinion they are tinthats and just mad weird. They keep on saying everything is fake, is a stunt, TPTB, etc…

It’s repetitive, predictable, pathetic & boring.

Guess what tinhats ZAYN & LIAM WILL NEVER BE TOGETHER ROMANTICALLY!!!

For someone that they claim to love & stan they sure have a low opinion of Zayn and what he is willing to do for his status. Not only that but their false rumors and stuff is at times picked up by tabloids. So kudos to you for helping your fave dummies…

So when it comes to them I am just like:

2- Zigis:

I never really liked real couple shipping or should I say being a “stan” of a couple. I find it cringy and they also do go overboard and cross boundaries. Just because one is supportive doesn’t mean that they are not just as invasive or annoying as tinhats. (You can check my blog and how I was annoyed with the “Freddies”).

So when it come to Zigis they were to me just like that. Anything that either Zayn and or Gigi did they were linking it together. Any like, comment, follow is or was being reported online. They even had/have update accounts.

The ugly side of it is when the couple breaks up and they can’t let go or accept it. Think the Jelena (Justin & Selena), the Robsten (Rob & Kristen Stewart) or even the Zerrie (Zayn & Perrie) shippers/stan. Look at how ugly they got towards one or the other person especially when one of their OTP has moved on to a new partner (ex: Justin with Hailey, Rob with FKA Twigs & Zayn with Gigi). They actually become conspiracy theorists because they cannot accept that their OTP is over.

Now when it comes to Zigis, they have actually turned into the Zerries that they were complaining and making fun of back in the day. LET IT GO!! Stop making connections and thinking that any follow, like or comment means something more. Don’t go harassing their possible new partners. Stop sending family DMs to find out the status of Zayn & Gigi’s relationship because you want some type of reassurance that your OTP are still together. BUTT OUT…. Last year during their first break up, the Zigis went on to attack Sofia & Iskra Lawrence because they thought something was maybe going on between them and Zayn. They said some pretty misogynistic things (feminist/girl power 101 my ass). They also went after (although to a lesser degree) they were being nasty and shady towards Lewis Hamilton when rumors were going around that him & Gigi were maybe going out. They are cringy…….

So when it comes to them, I am like:

3- Zstans & Gigi stans:

Both side have shown their true colors or their true feelings once it has been said that they are no longer together.

On the Zstans side, some were sad others were happy (that is excluding the ziams & antis), others were relieved but for the most part at least from what I saw they were chill up until the first US weekly article. Then the ugliness started. Some even sided with conspiracy theorists out of all people.. Like eww… I get wanting to defend your fave (and at times you were damn right to defend him) but come on now do better….

You gleefully were rejoicing when you assumed that Zayn was shading Gigi with his tweets and thought that he was proving you right when you were calling her manipulative, disgusting and all that jazz. Nevertheless, Zayn himself went off on all of you and set you guys straight pretty quickly.

You doing all of that, made things worst for the person that you claim to stan & love because guess what tabloids picked up on it and it created negative press towards Zayn. So kudos to you for helping your fave dummies…

As for the Gigi stans I don’t follow many of them to be quite honest but the impression that I always got is that while Zayn & Gigi were together they kept quiet but there were some indirects here and there and then they just let loose when the break up happened. They 100% believed what tabloids were saying and were now overtly being nasty towards Zayn online. I get wanting to defend your fave (and at times you were damn right to defend her against the nastiness said about her) but come on now do better….

They always seemed to think that Zayn was the one preventing Gigi from going out, partying and being seen or being super active & interactive on social media like back in the day when she was besties with Kendall. They don’t think big bad Zayn is good enough for their queen Gigi.. Well guess what Gigi stans to my knowledge she’s still not yet doing the stuff you expected her to do. So sucks to be you….

You don’t know Zayn or Gigi personnaly. You are not part of their inner circle. You don’t know what their relationship is or was like except from what they have chosen to share or from what the media/tabloids have decided to spin for clicks. It’s their life, their relationship and their choices. PERIOD!!!!!!!

So when it comes to them, I am like:

4- The media/tabloids + Zayn + Gigi

The media has been atrocious but more so towards Zayn than Gigi. Not surprised. Tabloids have rarely ever been on Zayn’s side. Most likely because he doesn’t curate his image as much as Gigi does. Zayn definitely hasn’t helped himself with some of the things he has said, done or tweeted online. I have said so in my tags. I don’t know what has prompted him to remember Twitter but it wasn’t a good idea at all. As a celebrity, social media is not a place to vent especially the cesspool that is Twitter. Also the vague tweets are open to interpretation and people will run with it and assume the worst automatically. I get it Zayn is still a human being like any of us but still…Be smart about how you use your platform you are not just anybody.

The media, loves to kick someone when they are down or bring up stuff. That’s what they do. They gossip, they speculate, they look for drama, they make up stuff. Anything to drive traffic on their site. Most of the articles have been basically about how Zayn is a deeply troubled young man (his anxiety issues, he is seen as a recluse, his tweets or some of his IG posts that would be 2018, his weed smoking..) who is at an all time low (his management has allegedly dumped him, his second album did not do well commercially, still not touring, his gf has left him..) and was holding the super successful supermodel Gigi back from her full potential because she was always trying to help him. Basically that Zayn was dead weight. Then they brought in what Louis said about Zayn… You know all around just gross stuff.

It’s an easy narrative to paint for tabloids and quickly believed based on the bias people already have of Zayn that has been solidified by his reputation and the years of bad press that he hasn’t deemed worthy enough to respond to.

That to me has always been a mistake but then again even when he does try to correct stuff or tell his side of the story, his words are ignored or not believed. He’s fucked either way. Even when he’s silent minding his own business there are still articles popping up. If my memory is correct, Zayn was pretty much silent online other than selfies up until March when he tweeted the Love You Gigi and yet since January Zayn was being mentioned in articles that were either about Gigi or about the status of their relationship (ex: the first US Weekly article).

Nonetheless, I do think he needs an image overall and should hire a publicist to change that narrative. Zayn call Scooter Braun and ask him to give you the name of the pr people that were involved in cleaning up JB’s image just before his Purpose album…

I don’t know Zayn nor do I know what is going on in his personal life. I hope that he is doing well. If he is going through something, I hope that whatever is going on bts that he is dealing with it properly, that he has a strong & supportive system and will come on top of it. Whenever he is ready, if he wants to, he can open up about that time period in his life. (LOL who am I kidding my noisy self would love for him to write another book or do an in depth filmed interview where he talks about the Z2 era and what has been going on up until now.)

As for Gigi, she cares about her image and reputation. Gigi is smart and savvy. She’s very mindful of how she is seen and perceived in the media. She knows the game and plays along. That’s smart because she is in an industry where it does matter. Zayn should have learned that from her. Her IG is curated to showcase happiness & serenity as well as her achievements & projects. She’s photographed/papped with her friends or family, attending events, on a photoshoot or going to the gym. Break up, what break up? what heartbreak? She doesn’t need a man. She’s a strong independent woman. Girl power! Her career is going extremely well and keeps on going stronger and stronger. Kudos to her. You can’t hate her or criticize her for that. She has every right to do so.

However, what I will say is at times there are things that she has done that I was like girl wtf are you doing. For example responding to things that are not even necessary to respond to which then creates press that puts her in a good light and by default directly or indirectly throws Zayn under the bus. That tweet calling out the media about linking her to a guy..Sweetie there were no articles. Nothing had been written. No outlets had picked up the pap pics of her and her friends. It was her own fans at first that had shared the pictures on their update accounts. Or that time she responded/clapped back at a Zayn stan that hadn’t mentioned her name or tagged her but shared what was deemed an unflattering picture of her and people in the comments were making fun of her… I was like girl how did you even find this???? Are you lurking???? Anyway both times, it made the press and Zayn was dragged into it.

Or back in January when she was papped 2 days in a row at Zayn’s apartment. For that though, I won’t blame her in the sense of she called the paps on herself like tinhats or antis would. Being seen at his apartment, led to articles..

Gigi is still a human being like any of us and has her moments but still…

I would also like to remind people that Gigi is not in any way obligated to come to Zayn’s defense when it comes to what has been said about him by the media or online from her stans or anyone else. However, in my opinion, I do think if she has the time to tweet/call out the media about articles that hadn’t yet been written, she could tweet about some disturbing articles that have been written about someone with whom she had an on/off relationship for 3 years or so. Same thing for Zayn. Zayn has come to her defense when he tweeted for people to leave her alone. Just saying….

Finally, as for the 2 US Weekly articles, in light to what Zayn has tweeted recently, I choose to think that Gigi and her camp had no part in it.

I know that many including mutuals of mine have entertained the theory that these articles were Gigi’s doing because of Yolanda’s connection to US Weekly.

So for arguments sake:

As I’ve said in previous conversations, prior to even Zayn tweeting, I hope that she had no part in it. If she did, then yep I would side-eye her and call this tactic sneaky & cowardly. Why go that route? Own up to it. Why use a tabloid with “sources” instead of making a proper statement via your social media or at least via your “rep” so that it’s clear that it comes from you?

That first US Weekly article was written after she was papped at his appartement twice. Zayn had not been seen out, he hadn’t tweeted or done anything. That article went up and was picked up by many outlets. In it, they said Zayn had issues that Gigi couldn’t help him with. She tried everything, she was no longer hanging out with her friends, etc.. etc…

The timing of the 2nd US Weekly article was mid-March two weeks or more after Zayn tweeted the “Love you” tweet to which Gigi had not responded to (she wasn’t obligated to do it either). In that article, it mainly said that Gigi has love for Zayn but he has MAJOR ISSUES (yep this time around they added major. last time it was just issues) and it’s over for good because they are not compatible. Again it was “sources”.. I was like why wait two weeks or more to write this? Why not write that article immediately after Zayn had tweeted it. The story had died down. That article was again picked up by many other news outlet.

But like I said anon, I choose to believe or at least hope that Gigi & her camp had no part in it. I would think she’s better than that to go that low and from my knowledge, it wasn’t/ or isn’t her MO. If she doesn’t address things directly usually it’s via a rep.

So when it comes to the media, I am like:

As for my thoughts on the status of Zayn & Gigi’s relationship:

Zayn and Gigi are two young good looking rich adults. Aesthetically/visually, Zigi was a stunning couple. Bottom line, It’s their lives, their choices. Whatever happens, happens. They are two celebrities that I don’t know personally. At the end of the day it doesn’t affect my life or livelihood.

So those are all my thoughts. Have fun reading anon!!!

1-8 and 22-31 for Bohman please!

Thanks a lot for the ask! I am not sure but I think by “1-8″ you mean “from 1 to 8″? Hopefully I don’t get anything wrong XD

Anyway time for giant baby.

What does their bedroom look like?

Assuming he lives in the real world, I’d say it’s a big room with lots of colorful handmade decorations, cussion, wool blankets... He didn’t do any of them, but still love to keep lots of soft things. There are probably many cacti, as it’s the only plant he managed to keep alive even though he keeps forgetting to water them. Overall, it’s very tidy and clean, compensating the huge amount of items and colors.

Do they have any daily rituals?

(And here Im crying because him and Haru never had the chance to have a “daily life”).

The day only start if he said hello to Haru, and ends with goodnight. There isn’t really anything he has to do everyday -like eating- but if he starts doing something for many days in a row (like studying duels), it becomes a very organized ritual.

Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

Absolutely not, even if he were to be human. If it’s too complicated, it’d be very hard for him to understand so like running is the most physical activity he can handle.

What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

I guess just waiting for the kitchen to be free. But like he can’t cook alone, he always burn things too much or forget what ingredients he putted or not, so if there’s someone around it’s better.

Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

I mean after living for so much time in an environment that couldn’t be dirty in any kind of way, cleaning is a concept he absolutely don’t understand. He doesn’t like mess, but “dirt” in itself doesn’t mean much.

Eating habits and sample daily menu

Either as a human or if there was a way to eat in Vrains, he has absolutely no sense of taste. Like pretty much everything tastes the same. But he do have food he likes more or less, just on different criteria. Sometimes he wants to eat something blue. or something like the sun. Also he absolutely don’t feel hunger so he eats at very random times.

Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time

He’s very low-functionning, but just accept it as normal. He spends hours just looking at things or lying down, and never thinks he is wasting time. Actually time is also a concept he doesn’t catch well. He technically don’t have a time limit to his existence, and something infinite cannot be wasted.

Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

“Indulging” isn’t something he really feel either. If he wants to do something, and it doesn’t seem to go against what he’s supposed to do, he just does it. Though there aren’t many things he personnaly enjoy, so most of the time it’s just spending time with Haru.

Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

Probably stick characters representing haru, lightning, and other people. He doesn’t have much imagination.

How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

Things has to be organized, and put where they belong. For exemple, D boards belongs “outside” and mustn’t be brought “inside”. If we consider real life, dishes are “kitchen things” or maybe “living room things”, but musn’t ever be somewhere else. He’s very lost and confused when these kind of things change.

Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

Probably anything related to math, for obvious reason. But since it’s just because he’s an AI, he doesn’t really consider it intelligence or anything.

How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

Bowman’s sense of self is just as poor as his sense of time. He still consider himself closer to a programm than to a person, so he can’t really see any future for himself.

Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?

For this, let’s assume it’s post season 2 where he doesn’t have his s2 goals anymore. His plans are mostly to spend lots of time with Haru and learns more about humans and the world (Haru calls that “being both a babysitter and a teacher at the same time” but he’s quite proud to be his brother’s guide, for all he knows of humanity.)

What is their biggest regret?

...... Haru dying thinking he’s worthless and a failure, partly because of him.

Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?

He has no idea what friendship is supposed to be, but well Haru is the one he cherish the most. Enemy doesn’t make much more sense, but I guess he’d answer Playmaker even though there’s no one he sincerely hates.

Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

Waiting for someone to tell him what to do. He has the worst decision skill, so except if he can clearly prevent someone from being in pain in a simple way, he won’t do anything without orders.

Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

Really depends on the type of event, but overall he doesn’t react much to things that happens around. Unless it’s about Haru, he won’t have much reaction.

Most prized possession?

He has no concept of “possessing”, but anything from Haru, he’ll love it.

#Ask game #Thanks so much lily I got to talk about him #Hopes it's not too boring >w<
