i love posting to twitter cause my posts breach containment way easier and that means once in a blue moon sometimes i see shit like people calling daigo and aoki sexy old men and THAT always takes me out forever and always

ambro since we were discussing eren and reiner yesterday, i have to know… do you think floch is hot? because i’m tired of ppl pretending he isn’t. that man IS FINE AS HELL 😭😭 - 🎀

I KNOW YOU JUST DIDN'T SEND ME THIS BOW ANON 😨😨😭😭 you come into my home, judge MY baby girl reiner, say that HOBO EREN is hot, AND THEN SAY THE BIRD NESTED HAIR DICKRIDER IS SEXY?!?! i can let hobo eren slide but FLOCH nah you gotta go fr /j /s

ofc don't take what i said seriously but damn bow anon, i have crazy hear me outs too but yours are wild LOLOL

okay my actual and true honest opinion about floch, his hair from the wit seasons and s4 throws me off severely, the s4 is so 2010s yk LMFAO but idk what isayama was thinking with his old haircut, its so loopy? poofy? idk it kinda looks like a puffball toupee was slapped on there 💀 also some of his faces aren't that attractive to me and i feel like everyone knows which ones they are 😭

he isn't really one of my favorite character cause for one, he basically unintentionally-intentionally caused hange's death (i cried) and two, he got on my nerves a lot HAHA ig he's a reasonably well written character for that, he really did dedicate his heart to the goal no matter what.

i think when s4 pt 2 ended, i saw a tiktok afterwards and had THE CRAZIEST FIC IDEA that came into fruition that involved floch, eren, and cucking LMFAOOOO not bc i found floch hot but i found the idea so fucking funny that i wanted to write it out but never did cause i forgor about it until now lol

Hi sorry for the messy long rant, but i have some things to get off my chest that probably makes no sense sorry

First off i am SO conflicted about all of this bc one way I think everyone has their right to express their opinions and connect that to their personal experiences, but i think we should also remember that we have no idea how HC and NV met, i barely know anything about her, and while yes it does look like she gave up everything in the US and that she doesnt post anything on her instagram of her going to tourist places so it seems like she is really isolated and cooped up in that rental, but again we dont really know that 100%…? We have literally no idea how theyre doing rn and what theyre doing. Everything we talk about her is just the same old assumptions and theories that we’ll never know the truth off.

I dont excuse her problematic actions, her apology was awful and maybe she was in utter panic that the first thing she did was just send those messages because shes ignorant on these social issues. But on the other side shes also gotten A LOT of abuse and bullied by people online, making fake shit thats practically career ending. Henry tried protecting and standing up for her with the FO post, but he could have worded some of that better. But like im in the minority of that. Practically everyone thinks the FO post was good.

The hate has taken a big toll on Henry and im surprised people havent noticed this. Hes totally disconnected himself from his fans and seems pretty much everyone and i dont even blame him. I hope he talks to someone about this, but i doubt he doesnt.

Hes gotten these types of rumors about him for years, but theres never really any backup to prove these rumors. I dont rly know what to say on this matter, but its just oof that Henry is either known for being a creep, a bad actor or hyped to infinity of how great of a geeky sexy guy he is. Theres no inbetween

Im glad this acc is a safe place for people to share their opinions, but sometimes i think people get too biased and read too much into these messed up rumors that they cant differenciate between whats actually true and just fake speculation to stir drama all because he dated a 19 year old in 2015 as if that isnt a common thing with rich men…i dont like it and i still hate that he would go down that ruite but it is what it is :/

I cannot really argue with your first paragraph. We know nothing specific or very less. People basically should stop taking about him and them if we olny can discuss the proven facts.

The made up stuff especially the porn was awful but his FO was before that. He tried to protect themselves after the S16 backlash and the awful photoshop theories. (somehow those were simpler times because those were so obviously made up “discoveries”) After her blackface photo we got the FL pictures and her pictures from the tental but he went completely silent. Maybe except the Meat picture in his story.

I think people noticed this, they just don’t feel pity for him. I mean the hate is never acceptable but I cannot say voicing some sort of disappointment especially if it’s not on their SM is something people should stop. This situation is partly his fault. I am sorry if he is getting hate, no one should, but even before NV his started to change. His presence on IG. ( and maybe NV has been in the picture already we just didn’t know.) So it’s not 100% because of the bad reception of their relationship.

I cannot really add anything more, you put everything together so well and I cannot actually argue with anything you said. Thanks for this ask and sorry for it took me so long to answer.

i agree how you described twt, sometimes everyone's just ready to fight it seems, i've genuinely had fun on both platforms at different times but now it's just too much on stan twt (no space for difference of opinion djsjdjj) it's good to know you're having fun as well :3 & omg i've seen few of my moots starting to give svt their attention after fallin flower dropped, everything abt it is <3333 the song, mv, choreo i love it.

hdjdjddkdjdj " virgos 😐 " also me in next breath "happy birthday mark :D i love you so much 🥺💕💗" any virgos reading this i really hope you enjoy your month to the fullest djjdjd <3. righttt?? you're correct abt mark's temper being very virgo djdjdkd.

your line screams hard-working people <3 jihoon, jaebeom, jeonghan the 3Js <3. isn't jaebeom also an infj? (i don't take mbtis seriously but at the same time it also makes me happy if it ends up matching someone i like djdjjd) chan & yugs 🥺 these two imo have the sweetest personality, like the one which makes you feel welcomed & they also have the cutest laugh 🥺.

i love jus2 <3 focus on me is one of my favorite kpop mvs of all time & also drunk on you??? i love this song so much, very sexy of them. the vibes, style and everything w/ their album, i want more songs like that. and for when i am feeling melancholy i need more songs like jjp's verse 2 😭💔 but i am also okay if they don't want to go back to these units bcoz everything so far they've been giving is just as great <33 ( maybe in future we'll get blessed w/ features 🥺)

honestly g7 as grp and individually have won me over with their music style, even if i don't like full album ik there will be 3-4 songs which will be exactly what i like to listen to, all of the music they've released individually i've liked it so much. there is this song of youngjae's, titled "i'm all ears" i had no idea of its existence until it popped up in my spotify i'm so glad it did, it's been in my playlist ever since. there was also a time when i was obsessed with jackson's 'on the rocks' djdjdk.

aww <3 the live performance video of 1° has mark as thumbnail so for long time i used to associate this song with him jdjddk. i think the only j*pe thing i'd miss is got7 studio live sessions 🥺. RIGHTJDKSKS aju nice's mv is very cute djjddk I love it, in reality its reverse tho, i see them and boom! 💖💛💗🤍💕💙

it was the year they won first bb*as award so that gave them the exposure, and no i don't follow them anymore. mixed feelings abt them, very negative feelings abt f*ndom fjdjdjd. i do miss what it used to feel like liking them sometimes. at that time i never thought i'll willingly drop them from my interest (i've stanned zayn since 2012 first him as grp member then solo. sometimes thinking abt it gives me a whiplash hddjks it's been 9 years, really thought it would be same with them too but it didn't happen)

i've had falling in love by yugs and in to you by jaebs on loop for days djdkdk i really love these two songs and also air by bammie <3 (i'm slow jams kinda person djdjdk :3)

(bam released the most fun album & title this year idc abt others, ribbon is one of the soty) also special mention of look so fine & running through the rain. yes! you do make sense they feel organic & very them.

exactly 😭 it's more believable when they drop stuff out of nowhere like encore 😭😭. the way youngjae posted his letter on twt too ddjjdkssk the announcement & release of encore is such a 'you just had to be there' situation the excitement, nervousness, confusion and everything 😭 sometimes i can't with them. also is the bibi with mark on ost, the same one you mentioned in last ask? the ost is really good <3, it must've been fun to see it happen (if its same bibi).

making a whole ass playlist just for me???? 😭😭😭🥺💗 yza you're so sweet nooooo 💖

and don't worry abt replying late jdjdkdjd i mean it, sometimes my friends text me after weeks and i'm am the same. it's really okay <3. i hope this week is treating you kindly, take care yza - 🪂

p.s ( just saw last post djjej) - it was me who manifested more bunny dino <3 manifesting even more <33

i was on stan twt during my younger years too and it was v fun and memorable to me ngl <3 idk what happened though.. it's evolved to be.. Something Else.. i still see a lot of good people there though 😭 and now that i'm in my Hag Era... idk it's just too fast for me now 😭 it's still my go-to place for updates though nothing can top twitter on that dept

u know what? virgos 😐 indeed KJJKDFJKFDJKFDKJ i want to slander virgos today because it's their season and no one slanders them that often so <3 ABOUT MARK'S VIRGO TEMPER THOUGH... i know i've said i enjoy seeing it sm but whenever i think abt it i cant help but say that.. I Love His Temper <3 he doesn't get pissed off in a scary and douchebag-y way it seems so... contained?? IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE IT he punched an a/c though so that might not be the perfect word to describe him lmaoo <3

THE J TRINITY HFDJFJDJHDF BESTIE UR MIND IS SO!!!!!!!!!!! honestly... maybe it's the acts of service for me <3 JKDFKJFDKJFJKD i think this is just my eldest sister and savior syndrome speaking though kfjkdkjf ALSO OH MY GOD THE WAY U NOTICE THESE THINGS <3 THAT'S SO SEXIE OF U!!! and yes he used to be an infj!! there was an interview that's more recent wherein he mentioned that he's now an enfj though but i cant rmb which interview it's from :/ ALSO MOOD FKJJKGJGKF i dont believe in mbtis too but im just... a little obsessed w it for the fun of it all <3 and the way u described them </3 what if i tear up a little </3 I LOVE CHAN'S LAUGH SO MUCH BUT IM SO SOS O GLAD U BROUGHT UP YUGYEOM'S LAUGH??????????? IT'S NOT TALKED ABT ENOUGH LIKE...... HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! one of my bird moots said he sounded like a schoolboy in choir 😭😭😭😭😭😭

GOD UR TASTE!!!!!!! what if i start falling in l*ve a little :/ what then :/ focus on me was ahead of it's time and people fucking slept on THEM i cannot fucking believe this. this has to be some kind of sick joke 😭 ALSO HAVE U SEEN THE CHOREO FOR SENSES!!!!!!1 INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! holy fuck!!!!!! sorry for the expletives but like.... holy SHIT they did THAT!!!!!!!! ALSO UR SO RIGHT </3 jjp verse 3 when... ALSO did u know i let go of the jjprojects url... thats the worst mistake of my life KDKJDSKJDSJK also agree wholeheartedly <3 i think they're all trying to find their footing this time around as soloists and im so proud of them for that!! i'll stand by my jus2 agenda though bc they're almost in the same company so maybe.. i might have hope left 😭

SO TRUE BESTIE!!! the same principle goes w svt for me as well <3 got7's such a flavorful group musically like... all of them have the capacity to go solo and they're still considered flops.. waht the fuck <3 ALSO OMG FJDKJFKFJD YOU'VE HEARD The Song!!!!!!!! maybe he'll be releasing something along those lines <3 esp now that he's supposedly coming w an album KJSJKDJSK on a similar note.. do u also listen to jamie (the other artist on the song) <3 NOO SHUT UP THIS CANNOT BE FOR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 i was obsessed w on the rocks too 😭😭😭😭😭😭 IT WAS MY FAVORITE ON THE MIRRORS ALBUM HELLO??????????????????????????? im proposing to u rn

ok now i have to watch all the live vids again JKDSJKSJDKDSKJ ik keep saying 'ur so right', 'i agree', and 'so true bestie' but im gonna have to say this again bc i LOVE LOVE LOVE live sessions sm no matter the artist. i also just am a little partial to live bands in performances like that in general so JDJKKDSJDS

the way you're saying these cute things abt the svteenies.. </3 giving me heartache!!! i'd bully them though i can't coddle them anymore <3

not the fandom JKFDKJFDKJFDKJFKJF ok but i think it's mostly their younger fans tbh. it wasn't this bad before.. i also really liked bts during their debut days. their songs were really good!! i kind of lost interest though and couldn't really get into them although their songs slapped lol. my irls are still into them though so i still hear about them. 9 YEARS............................... wait oh my god it HAS BEEN a little over a decade since 1d was The Thing huh 😭 now i feel kinda old lmao. and i totally get that feeling </3 it really do be like that sometimes JKFDJKJKFD

you really ARE keeping up w the sevens oh my god how are you doing it!!!!!!!!!!! it's like getting svt content now at this point but more complicated bc u need to get the updates from different sources JDKJSDKJJSKD love ur song choices too <3

ALSO FULLY RELATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i saw bam's teasers... the aes was my cup of tea and THE HIGHLIGHT MEDLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't fucking get it out of my mind it's objectively one of the best things i've seen from kpop in 2021. i'm super impressed <3 love how abyss really supported bambam on this. they really went all in for him!!

I KNOW GKJDFJDK I GOT SUPER ???????/// DURING THE TIME EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY WERE DISBANDING LMAOOOO they pulled a move that's so unheard of though no one really expected That. i respect jaebeom so much for handling all the paperwork and shit behind the scenes it must've been HELL!! ALSO IT MEANT I CRIED FOR NOTHING THEN 😭😭😭 AND YES OH MY GOD IT'S THE SAME BIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SHOCK I HAD WHEN I SAW THE LIST????????????????????????? thought i was gonna black out like,,, mark,,, AND BIBI??????????????? she's fucking phenomenal how is she just a YEAR older than me.. INSANE!!! ... and i also thought jackson was gonna have an ost for this movie.. idk why it wasn't released though i didnt look into it :/

i had a rough few days so i'm not yet finished with the playlist (my laptop's Dead i am still trying to revive her and uni's starting soon 😭) but for the mean time, here's another one that some people from caratblr previously asked for JDSJKSDJ these are mostly english songs though its not my k-playlist KJDSKJSDJK

ALSO I FELT LIKE IT WAS U!!!!!! OH MY GOD, i even searched my blog for the word manifest but for some reason your ask didn't come up in the search so i didnt mention u in the tags so i wont misattribute if it ends up not being u 😭 thank u for manifesting this chan for me he's my little... hop hop now ig... 😭

This is random but I think that bts has become so familiar with the staff and the cameras that they're not affected by it anymore I was watching some old 2013 bangtan bombs and they were so shy and then I saw ur yt video nd km were so awkward in it we can see that the bond hadn't been formed yet. But in that too jk was looking at jm when he was talking almost like seeking out sum moral support smth shy ppl do a lot? It was all cute n innocent n then suddenly jk hates jm narrative comes out.

2)I really think jm thought seeking jk out in front of cam would be fun cuz he was shy and I think it was also used as a factor for fanservice but then my own theory gets debunked cuz it was not a popular ship back then so y would they care bout promoting their fanservice? Nd ever noticed y jm suddenly just stopped seeking jk out it wasn't like he stopped interacting but more like cooled dwn a bit. Then 2016 starts we get km all over eo so I think a lot of things went on bts 3) sorry this is long But I think bh uses their interactions a lot for fs n km has so many genuine interactions that it doesn't matter anymore maybe bh uses their interactions to endorse how close the members are to eo. But in their interactions theres always a limit a line drawn by jm jk themselves uk like I've never seen em kiss eo cheek or do the extreme skinship for eg vmin. But the tensionmakes it more taboo for the fans n thus its called fs. Fs is there but its like a blessing for km ig

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I don’t really like to make ‘narratives’ for Jikook or any other ship because I think there’s so much that we don’t see that we don’t even know about, and I don’t really like to say I know why things happened for a matter of fact. I think shipping narratives are a little bit close minded and done to make people feel like they’re a part of the story/relationship when they’re not. 

With that in mind, let me respond with my opinions hehe. 

A) Yes they were soooo awkward in front of the camera pre-debut, and Jungkook definitely sought guidance from Jimin especially in the vlogs. It’s super precious to see. It really is cute and innocent.

B) Jimin has thought that Jungkook was ADORABLE since the beginning. He’s never been shy about how much he loved him. And I think this WAS mutual affection, but Jungkook was just more shy about showing it in front of a camera, hence the shy responses. People use one clip to show ‘JK hates JM’ which is the one where they are backstage and JK pushes JM really hard. What they crop out is Jimin pushing JK. They were pushing each other as a joke. It wasn’t real. Just because of this one out of context clip and Jungkook’s shy attitude in front of the camera, these people made this narrative about them that was completely fake. (Along with Jimin joking around about how Jungkook didn’t see him as a hyung, which I’m sure fed the narrative.) 

C) 2015 is actually when they became a lot more affectionate with each other if you look at the details- 2016 it just became more obvious to people who weren’t looking for it. 

D) You say there’s always a limit in their interactions. I don’t necessarily agree. We get a lot of ‘fanservice’ between the two because the duo is comfortable giving romantic/sexual fanservice with each other more than any other duo. I don’t think Bighit is like, “Okay, for this concert you two are going to act sexy together.” The members just do what they’re comfortable with. 

(Link to a post about my thoughts on fanservice)

E) You haven’t seen them do extreme fanservice... I’m assuming you mean in the typical fanservice sense. Because I think the things they’ve done on stage together go wayyy beyond any other duo in terms of intimacy, though a lot of it I wouldn’t categorize as fanservice (Rosebowl, anyone??).

Anyway thanks for the ask, those are my thoughts! :)

wey hey, it’s a me...a madio here at long last!!! but rlly i’m mads, i’m twenty, and i’m in pst so im almost always fashionably late to things set with est time in mind. my last meal would be chicken alfredo but that feels really wrong bc i’d really love to own a chicken someday....anYWAYS moving on to the serious stuff! this intro is probably a shit show but so am i so it fits...i tried to keep it concise but who rlly knows idk pls plot with me

( NANA KOMATSU, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER, MUSE M ) did i just see CONSTANCE YAMADA touching down in italy ? rumor has it this 22 year old DIRECTOR is on their way to reunite with the brat pack.

so first thing’s first, as promised, constance has two moms!!! one of them is an actress and the other is an activist (specifically feminist and lgbtq+ rights if that matters) and they’re both extremely well-known within hollywood. 

her activist mom is definitely outspoken on social issues and she taught constance to be too, so the family is definitely known for pushing buttons in hollywood if only because they voice their very strong opinions VERY loudly. she probably had a lot to do with herself and her wife being ostracized in hollywood, or otherwise branded as brats. her actress mom, however, is much more soft spoken and was once probably an america’s sweetheart type. she’s a classic beauty, an actress that had so much potential until her reputation began to dwindle. she still acts, though in much smaller projects, and appears to be happy simply maintaining a home life (spoiler alert, she’s cheating). she taught constance humility and self-love

her mothers are so loving to her and to each other that she’s definitely a big romantic, however she’s also extremely naive so i’m sure that will pose a lot of issues in terms of plots and whatnot. she literally grew up witnessing true love at all times and is so in awe of her mothers’ relationship that she strives to have something just like it 

sPEAKING OF NAIVETE! constance’s mothers actually shielded her from the spotlight until she was about 15!! her parents were really nervous about putting her in the limelight because they didnt want her to have a fate similar to theirs (the blacklisting and public humiliation of being branded) so they kept her life as private and “normal” as possible. rather than having a private tutor, she simply attended private schools so that she could have a semi-normal social life. her parents were very cautious about who she spent time with, which led her to be a bit sheltered. she had lots of friends, but she was never allowed to go to their houses and they needed extensive screening before being allowed at hers, so it was easier to just keep her friendships at school. it wasn’t until she got to high school and made the choice to insert herself into the media that the world truly met constance, and she’s been basking in the hollywood glow ever since

being lonely is actually part of what ignited her passion for film. she had so much free time at home during her early years that she stumbled upon a tub of old movies, as well as the video recorder that was used to capture them. from then on, she was in love and it seemed that no one could pry that camera from her grasp. years 5-10 of her life feature many clips of her moms’ double chins and feet, the angles of a girl too small to see the rest of the world. 

i like to think that the first real paparazzi pictures ever captured of her and published across the nation featured her at a rally with her moms, holding a sign and very proudly leading a chant for the right for her mothers to legally marry. she’d been photographed before, of course, but none of them never made as bold of a statement and those pictures are what truly began her entrance into the spotlight, which was extremely intense and trying. 

since the world was so desperate to know the daughter of two notorious starlets, it only made sense that they would do nearly anything to obtain that first private interview with her, those first talk show appearances, anything that she had never been able to do before. it was super overwhelming and she very quickly became aware of what vultures the press are

uhhh so yeah basically constance has only really been in the “spotlight” for the last 7 years, but she became very notorious and admired very quickly since her existence had been so “””normal”””” and basically mysterious to the public until then. like her moms posted pictures on their socials, but all of her own were private until then and the media only got to know her on a surface level so it was a drastic change both for herself, but also for the world

i’d like to think her friends, THE BRATS, are what really got her through it like once she started working in hollywood and getting more film projects and running into these ppl and building connections i think constance really would have relied on them as mentors (even if theyre rlly just manipulation her...plot idea ?) and just....ppl who understood what this type of fame was like and understood how crazy this transition was. like she went from eating cereal in the living room w her moms and living her lowkey life to being on magazines and becoming the new “GIRL NEXT DOOR” of hollywood and that’s....a lot

she is a pretty notorious director now like a lot of jobs were kind of just,, handed to her once she started but she proved she had real talent so her entire reputation is something she really built herself bc her moms tried to detach themselves from her career to give her a fair chance to prove herself and her own prestige but like,,, she literally loves filming people and directing them and it’s her whole ass life like she almost always has a film camera and/or an old video camera on her person at all times so watch out for that in the morning ladies and gents she will make u a star 

oh and if her career goes south she’s hella gonna go into the adult film industry she’s directing sexy time baby !

i feel like there is still so so much i could tell u all about her but i rlly hope that this sums it up nicely bc it’s getting so long and so ugly....bUT BEFORE I LEAVE I HAVE CONNECTION IDEAS AND ALSO i just wanna say i think she would be on??? pretty okay terms w the bratpack like i know she has select ones she doesnt get along w but theres probably a big part of her thats excited to be back with them and happy to be in milan meeting up with them all again so idk if that changes things but yeah my girl’s naive and loves almost everyone so pls,,plot with mE

CONNECTION IDEAS....just gonna drop some lame ones here rlly quick to maybe get us started

uhh like i said many times, constance is rlly naive, so she’d be super easy to take advantage of. this could be something that happened when she first introduced herself to the limelight, like maybe someone latched on to her bc of how excited the media was to finally know her and they sort of road her coattails, or maybe it’s smth that’s happening as adults. im down for literally any kind of manipulative plots like fake friends, using her for shit, idk just mess her up ig

i think unrequited crushes are cute and i’m sure constance has TONS just bc she’s such a romantic at heart and so eager to have a fairy tale love that i feel like there would be this one person who she’s had a crush on for years who she just...keeps going back to bc she thinks she loves them and maybe they use her to keep her around or maybe theyve been honest about their feelings and theyre trying to just be friends but things are rocky/she’s just repressing shit idk we could do a lot with this i think 

i’d love it if she could just have a best friend bc like...idk i dont want her to have NO real friends u know? good vibes only for constance and ur muse man u feel

she was pretty innocent growing up since she was so sheltered so maybe ur muse smoked her out for the first time when she was 16 and now shes 420 friendly and theyre just smoke buddies or smth i cant believe shes gonna be a stoner now her whole personality i talked about up there? gone. it’s weed central now baby !

does ur muse need a tastefully directed sex tape? constance has their back im not kidding this is my plot idea ur all welcome

this is a novel so im ending it here but i will once again beg that u all come plot with me and love me and disregard these shitty connection ideas bc i KNOW we can come up with truly good ones okay love u all bye 

So I’m a little annoyed at some of the comments I’m seeing about “Rio better not be a cheater”, do people really think he made that baby by himself! We can’t forget that although she is really unhappy, Beth is marred and cheating on her husband (no matter how much he deserves it). Why would anyone think he wouldn’t have anyone in his life. What are your thoughts?

ok, anon, about that.

*sighs*

FIRST: I hope Adelfa won’t get hate for a comment she probably shouldn’t have written and that she erased later. We all know there are ppl out there that take things to an extreme and cross the line between real life and a tv show that it’s NOT real, no matter how much you love it. I posted here once about Alison Tolman, the actress who plays Mary Pat, getting hate on TT bc of her character. And I say that bc this kind of shit happens all the time, no matter the fandom you’re in. Believe me, I was on TT and I already saw a few mean and angry comments about her.

That being said:

SECOND: I’ve seen people talking about more than one interpretation of that comment. In some of her interactions with fans, she is usually playful and charismatic. So far, this is what I saw people saying:

1- she really is playing his wife on the show too.

2- she was answering a fan with her usually playful mood and only meant that on set ( as in the place her  husband works) or offset she is his wife so, whatever…I don’t know if I made myself clear here so…

My opinion? Is that she probably meant she will be his wife in the show ( and Goddamn it, here goes my older posts saying that that hug looked more like a friends’ hug. In my defense, I didn’t get any romantic/sexy vibe from it. It rly looks like old friends hugging each other but like other people theorized here, she could also be his baby mama.). However, we all knew the guy has a life outside his criminal gangster persona and he had a life before Beth showed up, obviously, so sue him!

And I don’t think that Beth “forgot” he had a kid but she probably assumed something in the lines of what some ppl in the fandom also thought: baby mama was dead, was out of his life, or is actually his ex. Maybe she even thought about him having someone else but didn’t care bc she did not want to feel anything for the guy. I don’t think Beth is the kind of person to have sex with someone else without getting some feelings, however, so she will be surprised or angry with herself for feeling something more for him when she knows she shouldn’t.

Now, I’m not gonna lie, I got an entirely different view of Rio coz he didn’t seem the type to cheat with all that talk about loyalty and trust. Maybe he only applies it to his work but not personal life?  Or there is more to the story than we know. Manny said once Rio’s motivation is “family”. I always thought that “family”  involved a father, mother, sisters or brothers ( which he might have, at least one of his parents alive or both). I was surprised when I found out he also had a kid. And with a wife now in the picture? Hmm, I get why people are feeling kind of betrayed but, like I said, maybe there is more to the story than we know.

All this still feels odd to me to a point, bc, again, I never thought he’d be the type. And how this man finds time to do everything he does with a little family to care for? Holy shit, Rio, teach me how u do it, coz I need to learn that!

Rio is far from perfect and he was never a saint, to begin with. It was obvious to me since his kid appeared that Rio had a relationship with someone else at a moment in his life and it probably meant something special for him to have a kid with her, or don’t. The kid could be a result of a one night stand or a relationship without any prospects of lasting for long.

Now that there is the possibility of him being a cheater, I’d say that relationships are complicated and not all of them perfect, see Beth and Dean and how things are going down. Like you said, Beth is cheating too and even if Dean is a scumbag she could have chosen to not go down that road. She did it bc she wanted, and she doesn’t even know Rio or trust him enough but Beth is way aware of how things between them would get to that point.

Let’s be fair: Rio is a criminal, a killer, he almost killed Beth ( He thought about at least in that second episode), he breaks the law and does all kind of wrong things. Him being a cheater? It sucks but it would be just another thing to add to the list of all the reasons why Rio is the wrong guy to be involved with. Yeah, I know he has good points to his character too and that he is not a monster… We’ve talked about that already. No one in this show is a saint ( and I dare say not even Stan coz I know he means well but he is breaking the laws for Ruby already. He is getting hhis hands dirty too)

However, this thing he has with Beth is so strong and raw … It runs deeper, like, it’s instinctual and it’s getting out of control. No one can say that there is nothing going on between these two and I don’t think it’s sexual attraction only.

this brings me to another thought :

If there is a possibility of Adelfa deleting that comment bc she saw that ppl took it  the wrong way, and option 2 of my second line of thought is correct, this is only a misunderstanding and she is not actually his wife, but maybe an ex or someone else? Coz, again, Brio sells this show. It is so strong and powerful that the writers couldn’t let go of it - hell, let’s be honest, this show is incredible and it doesn’t need Brio to be so great as it is, but it’s what makes ppl go crazy about it and watch the show for them. I won’t be a hypocrite about that-. We know they won’t have a happy ending, I don’t see how it can end happily for everyone involved but there is always the possibility of Beth and Rio having a strong, unbreakable connection between them that will keep them together until the end.

This is all I think of what happened after that comment written on IG and what it means or could mean.

Honestly, tho? We are all here trying to find an answer to all that and losing our minds and having our heart broken in the process, but I‘d ask u this:

have you ever felt betrayed or even disappointed with GG writers or Jenna Bans in all this time watching the show?

Because if so, I’d say that is not my case. I trust them to give us just the best of the best here and they worked hard for that, I’m sure and I won’t let this turn me down, not when I didn’t even watch the episode or the rest of the season to really know what this whole thing between Beth and Rio is about.

Let’s wait and see, exercise our patience and not let our minds drive us crazy.

Breakdown: Ookiku Furikabutte (Big Windup or Oofuri)

SPOILER FREE

Big Windup: High school baseball anime (studio is A-1 Pictures) and manga (Asa Higuchi), ongoing.

Production: Solid. Production IG and Madhouse still dominate in terms of quality, but A-1 is sure as hell head and shoulders above the clusterfuck team that did Eyeshield (which was a combo of TV Tokyo, NAS, and Gallop).

Tropes: Low Self-Esteem Hero, Fudanshi Bait, “I Will Make You A Hero”, Slice Of Life

Not-Your-Wikipedia-Summary: Ren Mihashi is a total wuss because his middle school baseball team utterly destroyed his self confidence. They always lost because the catcher never knew how to use Mihashi’s insane ball control to their advantage. Now Mihashi is in high school and a nervous wreck and joins the baseball team. The catcher, Takaya Abe, (voiced by the extremely talented and easy-to-pick-out Yuichi Nakamura), sees Mihashi’s potential and decides he’s going to make Mihashi into the best damn ace that’ll take them all to Koushien. Cue slow-paced, feel-good, team-coming-together-against-the-odds 

TL;DR Review: It’s cute. It’s low stress. If you want to watch the friendship between boys be pushed and pulled and strained and celebrated all in the frame of high school baseball, and if you want that satisfaction that comes from a low-self-esteem hero showing everyone up, it’s a fun trip. Yes, all the character blush too much and the queer baiting between several characters is so obvious it borders on fetishization. But it’s not a bad thing to have different kinds of boys represented: scared boys, crying boys, boys who aren’t sure of themselves but are teaming up to try their best. We need to show that no matter what kind of person you are, you’re still a valuable part of the team. 

"Objective” Score: 6/10 (for those who like/need a slow pace and can overlook the problematic coach [more below])

Personal Score: 4/10 (too queer baity [make it gay or don’t, just stop with the fucking baiting], too slow, too problematic with the coach character)

Full Thoughts: So it’s been awhile since I watched this series. After watching One Outs I thought I’d go watch its exact opposite while still in the baseball genre. I have to say, it didn’t really age on me well. I think it’s a good series for 13-15 year-olds. It has all that blushing queer baiting that, if you’re in the closet or still figuring yourself out, might be tantalizingly close to validation. Also, like I said above, it’s great to see boys who aren’t chock full of toxic masculinity. You can be a scaredy cat and still be a good athlete. It has enough humor and embarrassed-youth moments to make it relatable/more dramatic for younger viewers or those who are still capable of being embarrassed. For those of us who are older/cynical/naturally-prone-to-being-an-asshole, watching it is more irritating than anything else. 

But let’s talk about something else...

Author Insertion Characters: Now, let me make it clear at the outset that this is NOT limited to female authors/creators. Pretty much every series has The Inserted Author, and more often than not it’s the protagonist. This is especially apparent where there are multiple female characters all in love with one boring ass dude. But what about when the Inserted Author isn’t the protagonist? What about when they’re a side character who is vicariously enjoying some exploitative scene? Usually, with male authors, we get side male characters who “happen to” see panty shots, etc. They’re so common to any series that they hardly need mentioning. I admit, I don’t even mention it, I’m so used to it; I just roll my eyes and watch on. But in the case of Oofuri, we get the team’s coach, Momoe. As soon as I saw her, I knew the series had been written/drawn by a woman, in good ways and bad. She’s got big boobs, has a strong personality, and the team is intimidated by her insane baseball skills and general strength. If she’d been written by a man, the team would’ve been drooling over her big breasts and there would have been a nonstop “comedic” tension over how sexy she was. But she’s not sexualized in any way. For that, I'm super grateful. (The bar is low for my gratitude, I admit.)

But there’s a couple of things about her that threw major red flags for me: one, that it’s made clear that she pours all of her money into this boy’s baseball team. Now, she’s a woman with insane baseball skills and a clear passion for the game. So why the fuck didn’t she start a GIRL’S softball team? They don’t even cover it, as if it’s not even a real question. And why is she pouring all of her everything into serving these young boy’s needs? Talk about gender role stereotypes. Why isn’t the school providing funds for all this equipment? Or if not, why aren’t they finding a way, as a TEAM, to raise funds for it? Why is she, the only woman on it, pouring all of her money into it? That’s one red flag. The other red flag basically answers all of those questions and can be seen below:

I’m sorry, is that woman orgasming over team bonding between adolescent boys?  If you don’t have a problem with the above screenshot, if your brain is saying some shit like “but no, it’s pure! Because she’s a woman! And they’re boys!” then I want you to do a mental experiment: imagine that screenshot above with the genders switched. So an older man is clutching himself, blushing and sweating like that, saying “this is so good” behind the backs of a bunch of oblivious 14/15-yo girls. Is your mental reaction a little different? Good. Now readjust your previous opinion. This answers the question of why she’s coaching a boy’s team. Because the author wanted to vicariously jill off on the emotional bonding between young boys, all under the excuse of the Female Purity Myth. What am I talking about? It’s the pervasive idea that women can’t be sexual/perverted. That womanhood somehow makes women “naturally” pure. This is damaging to men and women: To women because we’re shamed when we ARE sexual beings (which is a one sentence understatement of a very complicated issue), and to men/boys who are sexually abused by women but feel that they can’t come forward about it.

So. I’m conflicted. I like her character because SHE isn’t sexualized... but I’m angered by how the series validates the fetishization of queer relationships between boys by older women. I’d rather watch a series that has no female characters than a series that has one who is this problematic. I’ll be passing on re-watching any more of this. 

Rant

I didn’t really want to say anything about it, but I think I have to because I’m quite annoyed right now. So I’ve seen a lot of people talk about “how bad Maddie looked doing Blake’s choreo” etc and I’m honestly so pissed right now. It’s okay if you don’t like her way of dancing, it’s okay if you think she didn’t do well etc, that’s your opinion, dance is an art, is subjective and I absolutely respect that. But what I really don’t get is why there are so many people feeling the need to tell everyone about it, sending a thousand anons, publishing those anons, discussing how bad she did on a thousand different posts. Like what are you trying to accomplish? Don’t you feel embarrassed? I would be if I were you. First of all, it was a dance class (in case you haven’t noticed yet!!), not a competition, Maddie and Kalani went to improve their dancing, to work on their craft and get better at it. They both danced in a style they are not that used to yet, with a choreographer they haven’t really worked with before. So they are in class, in a safe environment, trying to get better and then people like you come around, make it into a competition and on top of that make fun of a 14-year old who attended a class to get better! You don’t attend class if you think you’re already perfect. I know Maddie doesn’t care about the haters anymore, you are nothing to her, but still, imagine how that would feel, going to a class, working your butt off and then have strangers on the internet discuss in several posts how bad you were etc, it’s fucking disgusting, I am sorry, but there is absolutely no excuse! And also don’t come with the ig fandom etc and that there are crazy stans calling Maddie the best etc, I know there are those crazy people, so what?! We’re on tumblr here, we could talk ages about the other social media platforms and its crazy fans of each girl, what does that accomplish? Those crazy fans won’t even see your posts on here. Also what makes you better than them if you do the same to another girl?! You won’t change their mind, why can’t you at least act more mature?? Like why can’t we just enjoy the dance and also accept that there are people who preferred Maddie’s dancing over Kalani’s or the other way round?! Why does it matter? Each girl gave her best and worked hard in that class trying to improve. Why make it a competition? Did you see them both smile and grin at each other while dancing? They had fun! They enjoyed dancing TOGETHER, true friends, not caring if one of them is better, just enjoying the dance and giving their best. Those girls are younger than you, but way more mature.

Also if you want to compare them so badly, even that’s not a fair fight. This dance was quite mature and sexy, Kalani has a way more mature body than Maddie and wore clothes which helped her show that off. Maddie on the other hand is still very slim and wore more baggy clothes, so even if they did each dance move exactly the same, it would look totally different. I personally prefer to see someone like Kalani do this kind of choreo (yes you heard that right and I’m a huge Maddie fan) because I just think it looks more natural because the more mature dance moves come across better than they do when someone like Maddie does them, but I still liked them both equally for different reasons, I like what both of them brought to the choreo, how they interpreted it and mostly, how they had fun with it.

So I guess what I’m trying to say - not in the most eloquent way, I am aware of that - is why do you talk negative about a girls dancing, especially her dancing in class? If you feel the terrible need to tell the world how bad you think she did, okay, do it - once - but then shut up about it. But posting or sending anons, discussing it on several posts, don’t you guys have better things to do? Like I don’t get why it’s so important to you to tell everyone about it. The fans thinking Maddie is the best, they won’t change their view just because you hate on her, so it’s pointless and I’m sure you know that, so why make so much fuss about it? It’s honestly upsetting, I am a huge fan of both, Maddie and Kalani, and it makes me upset to see so much negativity. I know I should ignore it, that’s what I usually tell all the anons who come to tell me about cases like this, but right now I just wanted to share my opinion on this matter because I really am pissed. While you are hiding behind a screen hating on a 14-year old, she’s taking class and constantly improving. Hell, she could have been terrible in this class, she could have done everything wrong and it still wouldn’t be right to talk about her like that because she was in class trying to get better. So you don’t think she’s good at this style, okay, good, so what? Who cares?! She doesn’t, she’ll keep taking class and constantly improve and your hatdred won’t change that. All you accomplish is piss off some people (like me, so congrats if that was your goal) and satisfy people who can’t stand Maddie because they can finally share their hatred with other people.

They only reason I see why you would act the way you do is that you are threatened by Maddie somehow. She’s doing amazing, her career is going wonderfully, she’s having a lot of success and perhaps you can’t deal with that and feel the need to have a go at her whenever you can. Congrats, you are pathetic.

Hey there my lovelies,

Welcome back to my Blog!

If you have been following me for a while, you might have seen my health journey, where late last year I decided to get healthier as my eating habit were off the charts, I won’t get into that much but If you missed those post you can catch them here and here.

So in the process of achieving an even better lifestyle after the weight loss, I started looking around and trying to find some fitness classes or one-to-one fitness coach.  So when I came across a photo on my IG feed posted by Fitness Coach Eva one thing led to another and we started direct messaging, until we eventually met to have an actual live chat.

It was a very nice afternoon spent with Eva and it did feel like we have known each other for ages! She is such a sweetheart :).

Also, we did have a lot of common grounds to talk about.  Eva got me all pumped for my new journey, which is that of getting leaner, but I would like to add that me and physical activity do not go hand in hand, the only activity I ever did was power walking but that was such a long time ago! So this new step is probably going to be a rough one.  However I do feel the need to start some type of exercise and I am hoping that with the help to Eva and her friends I can achieve that.

Anyways let me introduce to Eva :)

Who is Eva? I am a fit coach and  personal trainer and my purpose is to make people healthier on all levels and therefore my ultimate purpose is to make them feel happy and full of self-love.

I came to Malta because I saw that Maltese people need help. I saw that what we started to do in Slovenia can be used here and that step by step people will start to change their unhealthy habits into healthy ones. When I searched the market I realised that Maltese people started to become aware of the problem that they have about obesity. I also saw that there was nothing similar like we did in Slovenia, nothing that people in everyday life can relate to it.  You could choose to start very strict fitness diets and workouts that are in reality very hard to maintain or doing nothing.  There was nothing in between (or not a lot of offers in that area) for people who in reality wished not to be constricted by a strict plan or workout every day for one or two hours.  People have other priorities in life, like family and job, but they still want to be fit and healthy in their crazy daily schedule.

So hence the start of this new movement.  Started off with one location and few attendees to a few months after 5 different locations and more than 30 people in every location.

I also started my Busy Babe Shape program that is designed just for the ladies with very little time. My vision is to teach people about the simplicity of a healthy and active lifestyle and to give them lifetime changing habits, knowledge and solutions that they can keep and use forever.

How did you get started into this career? Everything started with my own result. I was always involved into sport. For many years I was dancer and I also finished dancing high school.  After that my passion for sports continued and evolved into passion for healthy nutrition. I started to study and experiment on myself a lot. During that process my sister also introduced me to cellular nutrition. My curiosity was very big so I started to read about it and started using it. After 6 months my skin totally changed, I started to look younger and my skin is now glowy. I got more energy and a leaner body. I maintain my result very easily with less workouts and less strict diet.

Today my passion stays the same. I still believe that with the right nutrition, healthy and active lifestyle you can run away from the doctors and stay vital till old age.

What was the hardest challenge to date in your career? In every career there are challenges and they never stop. The only difference is that we get stronger, wiser and we learn how to deal with challenges in more calm and wise way, with the knowledge that everything will be fine in the end.

The only challenge that we are actually facing is the challenge inside of us.  No matter how much we think that the challenges are coming from our surroundings and that we can blame someone else, it is not like that. No matter what happens to us, it is always reflection in us. So the only challenge that I had was challenge of my mindset. Since I regularly work, my mindset and good feelings are in sync, everything seems so much more simple and easy.

How many days per week do one need to work out? People ask that me all the time – how much training they need to have? Well, everything depends on what your ultimate goal is and of course your starting physic.

If you just want to maintain healthy body that is already in normal state, then being active every day at least 30 min an easy workout like walking, jogging and light swimming, etc. is enough.

If you want to  lose weight and you are beginner, 3 times per week for 30 min of mid- intense workout is enough. If you are not the beginner anymore then, you need to step up the challenge. Increasing your workout routines every week bit by bit is the key. Mixing up workout routines, adding different exercises and mixing cardio, strength and rest will make your result ongoing process. The key is to break the pattern so your result keeps improving, even if this sometimes means taking three days off.  If one does not train enough it can resonate in gaining weight and if we train too much it can also resonate in not loosing kilos or body fat any more.

Our body is a live organism and is much more complicated then we think. There is no ‘one way’ approach that will work for everyone and that is why it’s good to have someone to guide you and tell you what would be the best to do next. Sometimes this can be adding more workouts and sometimes totally the opposite.

How do you access the best food plan? With food is similar like with training. There is no ”one fit all” approach.  Although there are some basics that are the same for all of us. And usually we fail with basics.

Everyone focuses on complicating, adding ”special” ingredient into our meal plan that will make us lose weight ‘faster’. I have to disappoint you with saying that no strict or extreme dieting works.  Look at it this way do you think you can do the strict diet for if the answer is no then you know you cannot lose weight ‘fast’.

My philosophy is healthy eating in general and I teach people how to do that in a simple way with healthy meals. Also, with help of natural supplements and with some occasional reward meals as well – after all dieting can be fun :)

The first thing I start by effecting a wellness profile.  The aim of this profile is to see what are the missing elements and mistakes are and tailor a nutrition plan according to their needs and their lifestyle.  Not forgetting the focus on reaching the aim they want, making it as simple as possible.

Should you eat before a workout and what about after? There are always ”it depends” answers.  Yes, you should eat before workout. The best is to eat two hours before, except if the workout is in the morning. Then you have to adjust the meal before the workout. Some people have the philosophy that working out on empty stomach will help them loose more body fat. My opinion is that doing this will give you result only if your nutrition is already balanced and if you do that just occasionally.

And yes, you definitely have to eat after the workout. 30 min after the workout you have the ”window of opportunity” when your absorption is really high and there is the time when your body can absorb the nutrients in really high percentage. This ”window of opportunity” starts to close after 30 min so we need to eat/drink something that gets to our cells really fast and has all the nutrients in the right proportions, based on our type of workout.

What I suggest for my clients is to have shake after the workout. Having just proteins would not be enough. Our body also needs certain amount of healthy carbs and vitamins. How much of each you ask – it all depends on the type of workout.  For example by having a Termojetics tea before workout, a quality post-workout shake you can burn body fat 72 hours after the workout.

What type of classes are you doing at the moment? At the moment I am mostly doing group high intensity body weight training – on site and online.

With people that have already better performance I am also doing high intensity training with weights or one-on-one personal training.

Now we are gonna finish the first round of 7 week online challenge, where we were mostly doing short but intensive training.  Till now all of attendees achieved really good results.

Where can these classes be found? Our group classes you can find on Live Healthy & Active FB page, on my personal FB page Eva Jurenec or you can also contact me through Instagram fitcoach_eva or email [email protected] .

Right now I am preparing a new 6 week challenge specially designed just for women that will be focused on fit summer tummies and will start in April (sign me up Eva!!!)

Is doing just cardio enough? Depends on the goal, but usually no. If you really like cardio then at least core and stretching exercises would be needed beside just cardio.

If the goal is to really have fit, lean body with nice muscles (not to much but still some, so it looks nice and sexy), then the best combination is weight training, HIIT and some cardio (the amount of cardio depends on your body type and metabolism).

How frequently should one train? If you start with 2-3 times per week and you are consistent in that, it is much more valuable then starting with 5-6 times and then not keep it up.

It is better to start with short and more intense training, so you don’t loose too much time. Keep the smaller amount of training consistently will give good results, rather then sometimes doing them 5 times per week and sometimes nothing.

How quickly can one see results of the training? Result comes from putting the puzzles together. The main puzzle is nutrition  – it is 80% of the result. Then it is workout which is 20% of the result and what is also important are mindset and consistency.

So if you start with some good and simple program, working with a coach and focusing mainly on healthy nutrition, adding some natural supplements, then the results can come quickly.

Why does it feel that workouts get harder? Sometimes we feel like that because our muscles and body are tired. The body needs and saves energy for recovery. In that case it is good to take some days off from training and recover the body.

Sometimes this can be the lack of right nutrients in our diet. In that case one has to check if there are enough vitamins, minerals, macros etc. in our diet. That is why I also recommend adding the natural supplements to the diet that help us with recovery and staying healthy, not just fit.

Also, sometimes this can be the protection in our body. The body has a tendency to stay ‘in the same place’. Every big change is stress for the body – for a certain period of time. So we need to go through that and after that, one will actually start to feel lighter and better.

Is there such a thing as the best diet for weight loss? The best diet for permanent weight loss is a healthy and active lifestyle in general.  There is no secret pill that will make us fit over night. Being healthy fit is a process. But if we do it correctly the results can be visible really quickly and we can also maintain it if the program is made in a way that we can keep it forever.

But today it is sometimes hard to define what is healthy with all the information that we get bombarded with via internet and magazines. That is why a coach is needed, they have the correct knowledge and we can trust them. When we learn what is actually healthy we are not mislead with marketing anymore. We know how to eat, how to cook and how to buy the grocery so we become and maintain our health for the rest of our lives.

I am really sorry for the VERY LONG POST but it that was such and interesting chat and I enjoyed it so much that I just could not make it shorter.  Eva was so passionate and detailed in her explanations and I can now say that I am very happy to be in the life changing healthy zone.

By the end of the chat I was so pumped up at that yes by now I have enrolled myself in the training sessions provided by Live Healthy & Active and it has been an awesome experience so far.  I am loving these sessions, not as tough as I thought they would be to be honest and that is a lot coming from a person that does not have a good relationship with physical activity.

After finishing my nutritionist programme a few weeks ago, I have now into the maintenance programme that I have teamed up with these fitness session so Stay tuned for post on this in the coming weeks.

Until next time,
