Fukazawa Tatsuya x Meguro Ren x Miyadate Ryota

Meguro Ren takes decisive action against Fukazawa Tatsuya’s tactics in love!

Fukazawa: When insects get involved, Nabe (Watanabe) becomes really fast at running

Meguro: During a location shoot for a show, Shoppi (Watanabe) went far away from me as soon as I reported that I found an insect (laughs).

Miyadate: Even though we often went to catch insects together when we were kids...

Fukazawa: Eh? Maybe being afraid of insects is him creating his character? But I guess I also became weak against insects when I became an adult.

Meguro: Only insects can make Snow Man escape fast, right?

Fukazawa: I do want to get away from haunted houses, and I’m the type that puts some distance if I get the hunch that I’ll get mad. I don’t run away though. Meme (Meguro) and Date-sama (Miyadate) seem like the types who face everything head-on. It’s cool that they seem like they won’t run away.

Miyadate: I wonder if that’s true.

Meguro: In that sense, I might not have anything I’m afraid of to the point that it makes me want to run away. I rather like it and would get close to it. Like “Oh, there’s an insect!” or “Oh, there’s a crab!”

Fukazawa: Meme’s “Escape” (On Air compilation) really kept me on the edge of my seat!

Meguro: I was really frustrated because I almost reached the goal.

Fukazawa: I was supporting you from in front of the TV and saying “Just a bit more!”, “You can escape!”

Meguro: It was thrilling! I also want to see the members trying to escape next time!

Miyadate: If there’s an opportunity, then please invite us.

Fukazawa: It’s fun seeing a member doing his best and supporting him but I wonder what would happen if all the members participated in a tag-like project similar to this?

Miyadate: The mission might change depending on the strategy. Will the nine of us be able to work together? Will it be an individual game? Will it be a team match?

Meguro: All of those sound interesting.

Fukazawa: In terms of love, are you the type that wants to do the pursuing? Are you the type who wants to be pursued?

Meguro: I want to keep pursuing.

Fukazawa: How about being pursued?

Meguro: That would make me very happy. But at my core I want to continue pursuing my partner even while we’re dating, even when we become husband and wife, and even when I become a grandpa.

Fukazawa: That sounds easy but is hard to do, right? What about Date-sama?

Miyadate: Hm------- (withholding his answer) I want to do the pursuing.

Fukazawa: That’s it! That’s it! Guys should be like this! What about your reason?

Miyadate: Stemming from my feelings of wanting to treasure that person wouldn’t I naturally want to pursue them?

Fukazawa: How about confessing? Do you also want to be the one to confess?

Miyadate: Yes.

Fukazawa: As for me, I want to be the one who is pursued.

Miyadate and Meguro: I thought so (laughs).

Fukazawa: I have zero desire to do the pursuing.

Meguro: Eh? Really??

Fukazawa: I also don’t want to confess. I’ll wait until the other party comes to me and confesses.

Miyadate: And then psychological warfare starts.

Fukazawa: I’ll shorten the distance between us through conversations. Like asking “Do you have someone you like?”, “What kind of person are they?”, “By any chance, is it me?”.

Meguro: That’s so cliché (laughs).

Fukazawa and Miyadate: AHAHAHAHA!

Fukazawa: I do think the confession has to be done by the guy but I like the tactics or rally that happens before it gets to that point (confession)!

Miyadate: That mastery of the art of conversation is amazing!

Meguro: I wonder what will happen if you meet someone that makes you think “There’s no choice, I have to confess myself!”

Fukazawa: I want to meet someone like that but I already have our fans!

Miyadate and Meguro: Okay, we get it.

Fukazawa: By the way, who do you think is the fastest to catch on to the latest trends?

Miyadate: I think we all have our respective fields.

Fukazawa: Maybe mine is games? I want to play the latest games right away and share interesting ones with the members.

Miyadate: Mine is restaurants.

Fukazawa: You know a lot about restaurants! “Date Log” is amazing! Koji often gets hooked into the restaurants Date-sama takes him to.

Miyadate: Koji then acts as if he’s the one who found the restaurant.

Meguro: That person is good at doing that (laughs).

Fukazawa: Then we’ll find out later that the restaurant Koji took us to was introduced to him by Date-sama.

Meguro: As for me, in the end, I think it is fashion. I often ask the staff of FINE BOYS stuff like “What’s trendy these days?”, or “This is included in this feature, does this mean this outfit will become popular?”

Fukazawa: Meme’s outfits become fashionable because Meme is the one wearing them. If I wear the same clothes I’ll just look like someone questionable.

Miyadate: You don’t have to lower yourself that much (laughs).

Fukazawa: This is my job!

Meguro: What kind of job is that (laughs).

Second paternal-centric piece, centered on the highly dramatic Graveyard Fam! The patchwork family <3

Do I put way too many serious thoughts in things? Maybe. But I am a storyteller.

Heavily headcanon based that I've mentioned before.

Warnings: mentions of formerly living in a toxic and neglectful environment, and a current abrasive and struggling relationship between Mortis and Frank.

Ask to tag.

🧟‍♀️📱 Picture Perfect 🦇🎧

Emz awoke naturally, opening her eyes, and blinking away the sleep. She stared up at her ceiling blankly. What a good day's sleep!

She pulled her arm from the tightly wrapped blanket around her and slipped it under her pillow to grab her phone.

She held it above her face to replace the ceiling as the point of interest in her line of sight. It was around 1:30 pm. What have people talked about ever since she went to sleep earlier that morning?

She began to scroll through posts, ready to begin her morning regime of giving only a few hearts to a handful of posts, and maybe even one or two coveted comments from her. (It was best to leave them wanting more!)

However, she froze in her browsing when she quickly noticed a trend in today's posts. A long winded paragraph by some random of how lucky they were, a meme about single mothers, grilling pictures.

Oh, today was no day to lay in bed for half an hour before beginning her day! It was Father's Day. Emz twisted around, trying to roll out of her bedsheets.

"Ogh, stupid covers--!" She grumbled despite the fact that she loved twisting herself up in them. It helped her sleep at night.

The zombie rolled too far one way and gave a cut off yelp as she fell clean off the bed and landed on the ground painfully on her stomach. How embarrassing, she huffed, peeved. She slapped the ground in frustration and pushed herself up with the same palm. She sat on her knees and leaned on her bed, fixing her hair with her other hand. Okay, fail, but at least nobody saw that.

Absent-mindedly, the teen brought her phone up again and unlocked it fluidly. She scrolled through a few posts and ended up giving the first like of the day.

"Wait, no," She said, looking up. She had a plan for today and everything! Emz stood up and slipped her phone into her back pocket. First up, the gifts!

She bounded over to her closet and opened it. There they were. Two gift baskets for today. One for her Uncle, and one for Frank. Emz smiled. They were handmade of course, because premade goodie bags were absolutely lame!

As if she would settle for giving anything less than perfection. No, she hand picked what would go into each basket, decorated and placed it to be aesthetically pleasing, and wrapped it up with a gorgeous ribbon. She's even refrained about bragging about any of this online, to keep it absolutely secret. Man, was she just amazing or what? That was rhetorical, of course. She knew she was flawless already.

Like an instinct to survive, Emz had her phone out of her pocket and in front of her once more, camera open. She winked and stuck her tongue out with a smile, and took a picture. She grimaced.

Ugh, she had to go through her morning routine first and then take another picture afterwards. This was a terrible excuse for a selfie. With that thought in mind, Emz stretched properly, and strolled to her bathroom.

"Talk to me, Franklin. You know it's a mutual effort." Mortis said, poking Frank's cheek. He was leaning over the back of the couch where Frank was sitting at. The big guy tilted his head away with a grunt. His eyes were trained on the television as he tried his best to tune out the vampires.

"...Is this still about the dishes?" Mortis decided to guess since he refused to answer. "I'll have you know that I got started on them the other day. But then I got a call that simply couldn't go unanswered." Mortis paused and studied the lack of change in grump level in Frank. Okay. Maybe not that. "...If this is about my bats, I am not making them sleep outside. They like it in here. Only Robata likes it outside." Still no answer. Mortis tapped on his chin. What else could possibly be on his spouse's mind? It was already hard to believe that Franklin was mad at him, but he was just not budging in giving any hints. (Yet again!)

"Ugh," Frank grunted. "It's not just about the dishes or the bats." He started to explain quietly. Mortis leaned in attentively with a small smile on his face. Oh, it was such a rare treat now when Franklin opened up to him. Even if this was about an argument, Mortis adored the fact.

"It's about the fact that you still make excuses for your laziness." He finished.

Mortis frowned. Except for when he spouted spiteful lies and insults! "They aren't excuses! I'm telling you what happened. You know, you're not the only who lives here, Franklin. There's a thing called--"

"Good afternoon~!" Emz called out, stepping down the staircase with flourish.

Mortis ruffled Frank's hair and lowered his voice. "Hold that thought." With a pirouette, he shot a cheerful grin at Emz. "Poisoned Apple! Good afternoon!" The gravedigger greeted. Frank was annoyed, but he held up a hand to wave at Emz pleasantly. With his other hand, he turned the volume down on the show he was watching.

"Hi!" Emz said, stopping right before she reached the bottom. She was using the railing to hide the baskets. "You guys know what today is, right?"

"....Sunday?" Mortis questioned happily.

"I guess so, yeah," Emz said, "But beyond that."

Frank blinked and shook his head lightly.

"It's..." Emz paused for dramatic effect, and then lifted the baskets into view. "Father's Day! Look what I made!"

"Ooh," Mortis smiled, fangs glinting. He held his arms out as Emz walked forward to hand him his basket.

"This is for you and--" she moved on to Frank. "--this is for you!"

Mortis marveled at the items he could see, and turned it to see it from a different angle. The plastic wrap crinkled as he did this.

Frank smiled at her as she passed it over to him. With just a glance, he could already see some of his favorite things in there, he placed it aside and stood, prompting her for a hug as he walked around the sofa.

Emz was wrapped and lifted up in his large stature, pleasantly smiling. "I'm glad you both liked it." She laughed, muffled.

"Naturally," Mortis remarked, "Your craftsmanship is to die for!"

Emz was finally let go by Frank, landing on the floor. "Oh, tell me about it," she smirked. "I stayed up a couple of days ago finishing those up and they turned out perfectly!" She flipped her hair with an obvious flourish. "You can go on gushing," she said, only half jokingly as she brought out her phone to idly glance through any messages.

Mortis laughed in amusement. Frank smiled patiently. Emz was sharp around the edges, but she was endearingly so. As long as she didn't go too far...

"Oh, yeah!" She put her phone away. "You should both, like get dressed up. There's an event on the beach later on tonight, and I was thinking we could go out today. Like... my treat."

"You?" Mortis voiced for both he and Frank. "You have money?"

"Yeah? I save up. Don't you?" She asked haughtily. "Or do you just not want to go?"

Frank gave short laugh, and patted his stomach in jest. Mortis shrugged in amusement, catching on to Frank's joke. "Well, if you think you have enough for Frank, we'll be your guests, sweetheart."

"Oooh, futuristic," Mortis marveled, taking off the wide-brimmed hat he wore as the Trio walked inside. They were at the Zero-Gravity diner. It was a part of Starr Force's attractions.

A bored-looking feline straightened up in attention as the doors slid open. "Welcome, Civilians!" She greeted from her silvery podium. "Feeling low on energy? If you want to help out Colonel Ruffs in his quest against the Dark Lord, you should fill up while you've got the chance." She recited in character, "Luckily, you're safe here, and we've got plenty of foodstuffs that'll fill you up! So, how can I help you today?"

Emz scoffed. Did Kit not recognize them or something? "You could have skipped the spiel. Like, you know that we're Brawlers, right?"

The cat blinked slowly, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. "Okay. What do you want then?"

"I've got a reservation for three, under Emz."

Kit shifted her focus to the high-tech screen right beside her. It was see through. From the perspective of the Graveyard Trio, the images, texts and buttons were flipped.

Kit pressed through a few buttons, navigating through menus, and then confirmed Emz's arrival. "Alright. If you'll follow me." She picked up three devices from her podium, and began to lead the way through the restaurant. Her tail swished as she walked along.

When they got to the table, Kit waited until they were seated and placed the devices in front of the three. "Press the blue button to activate your menus." She said.

Mortis pressed it, and a holographic screen flashed into view, akin to Kit's own screen at her podium. He laughed. "This is spectacular! We should add a horror-themed restaurant to our section. It would be a hit!" Mortis exclaimed. "What say you two?"

"Ooh, that'd be sooo cute! I can run it." Emz said.

Frank grunted, and pressed the menu button. It didn't spring to life like Mortis' did, so he pressed it again, and then once more even rougher. It broke under his strength.

"Oh," Kit reached over. "Sorry about that. You can hand me the pieces, and I'll get you a replacement menu. I'll be right back." Frank did so, a bit embarrassed.

As soon as Kit was out of earshot, Emz laughed. "Our place won't have cheap stuff like here though."

Mortis grinned. Frank was less than amused and gave a shrug. It was simply an accident, and they shouldn't be rude about it.

Kit returned and activated the device before handing it to Frank. "Here you go. While you look through that, what can I get for you to drink?" She asked, readying a tablet.

"I'll have a peach iced tea." Emz told Kit.

"I'll have a glass of Merlot." The mortician decided.

Great. Now he'd have to drive. Frank rolled his eyes, and looked through the sodas.

Mortis looked over at him. "What would you like, Franklin?"

After eyeing the selections, he pointed out his choice. Mortis made a face and looked at Kit. "He'll just have a Coke."

"Okay. I'll get that to you. A waiter will be right out to get the rest of your order." Kit said. She departed from the table.

Emz hummed and stood up. "I'll be right back. Remember- order whatever you want! I'm paying." She reminded, smoothing out the cute dress she wore and then walking off towards the restroom.

Mortis watched her go, and then moved aside the menu device.

"Okay, Franklin. Let's talk." he interlocked his fingers like this was a business deal.

Frank ignored him, swiping through the menu.

"This is a fancier restaraunt. Emz is treating us, and you can tell how important this is to her, can't you? I hope you do."

Mortis paused for any telling gesture or expression, but Franklin remained quiet. The mortician continued. "Well, it'd be great if you'd drop the pettiness, if only for tonight. This is between us, not Emz."

Frank glowered at Mortis. Pettiness? Him? The big guy shoved aside the device now. He was tired of Mortis' tone and habits and everything.

"Don't even think of causing a scene here, Franklin," Mortis tensed up. "Think about Emz!" Frank frowned.

"Here are your drinks, Sirs." the black cat returned. She either didn't notice or chose to ignore the quiet tension at the table as she put the drinks down and then left.

Frank grumpily put his face in his hand. "Fine. But you're being a dick." Frank said.

Mortis was offended. "How!?" He asked indignantly.

"Drinking without even asking me, nitpicking what I want, and those are on top of the bats and dishes. And I bet you're ready with some excuse now too." Frank listed.

Mortis clamped his mouth shut. He was going to point out that it was only one, and that plain old coke at a more fancy place, really? But, that would just prove Franklin right. "Well," he struggled on what to say for only a second before finding a string. "You always keep things to yourself! How am I supposed to guess what you're thinking? You wait and get mad and then out of the blue, you just attack me!"

Frank furrowed his brows and looked aside, feeling a bit guilty.

"Hey!" Emz arrived and sat down, and scooched up in her chair. "You guys are being an itty bitty loud, you know? I'm sure you don't want people staring."

"Uhh..." Mortis said. "I suppose not. So... Franklin." He said awkwardly, trying to think of some different topic. "I think... our Brawl Ball strategy should change." He sighed, disappointed in himself. How weak of a subject.

Emz was puzzled and looked like she wanted to say something. So, of course, she did voice her thoughts. "Weren't you guys talking about, like being mad or whatever?"

"No....?" Mortis said. "Nobody's mad here. Am I right, Franklin?"

"Uh. Yeah." The big guy shrugged.

Emz pursed her lips. "Right... So this afternoon too?"

Mortis gave a tight smile. "This afternoon?" He pretended.

Emz was merciless in completely demolishing this lie. "This morning, when I walked downstairs, Frank was on the couch with the T.V. on. It wasn't muted, even though you were beside him presumably chatting. That's some weirdo way to talk if you weren't mad at someone." She said, matter-of-factly. "You think I don't know body language?"

"...." Mortis was stunned. Frank laughed at the absurdity. She had guessed it perfectly!

Emz crossed her arms though. She waited for Frank's chuckle to die down. "So, what gives? You two are going to start lying to me all of a sudden?" She looked between the two, waiting impatiently for an answer.

".....No." Mortis said finally.

"Then?"

The vampire faltered. "It's just that... well, you know. The discussions Frank and I gave, ah, doesn't have to do with you? So... why involve you?" Mortis managed.

"Okay? But, like, why lie about it." She repeated. She had an inkling about it now, given both of their awkward glances and fidgets. Her sharp tone softened, and she sighed inaudibly. Guess it was sappy truth time.

She looked down at the table, focused on the closed menu device. "I know you two argue. Like. Duh. That's normal. And, I'm guessing that you want to pretend like everything's peachy because you don't want to remind me of... well, you know who already!" She shook her head. "But I'm okay, really. I actually wake up on my own and not from endless yelling, and I'm not picked up hours late from wherever because you never agreed on whose turn it is to pick me up.." Emz paused, feeling quite at unease from sharing this, but pushed through. This was just another step at breaking her own tough shell. "What I'm trying to say is, simply arguing isn't going to remind me of my 'parents.' You two are leagues better, okay? I know you actually care about me. So you dont have to lie to me. Bicker and argue all day until your jaws fall off. You wouldn't be my Uncle Mortis and Frank without it." She smiled up at them.

Mortis had his upper face covered, just about already to cry. "Emz... I don't know what to even say..."

Frank leaned to her and gave her a kiss on her head. "It means a lot, sweetheart..." he said genuinely. Maybe he still had things to learn... He glanced over at Mortis who happened to look up then from his heartfelt pause. "I think I speak for the both of us."

They exchanged a soft smile.

"How about a picture?" Emz asked as she held her phone up.

"That sounds grand," Mortis sighed contentedly. Frank nodded with a smile.

The graveyard family bunched in together to fit into Emz's screen that she held up for all of them. On their way to posing for the perfect picture, their glasses were knocked down. The mixture of the three drinks short-circuited the menus, stained the white tablecloth and started to drip on the floor. Kit was walking by at that moment to check on another table when she saw the damage. That troublemaking team. Her tail swished around dangerously. She pulled a communicator out of her pocket and held it up to talk into it. She never took her eyes off of the Graveyard Trio. "Colonel Ruffs. This is MerXanary Special Agent Kit. Over."

"Roger!" He answered. There were squeaks in the background. No doubt the new Private was fooling around.

"There's Brawlers here giving me trouble. I'm requesting backup at the Zero-Gravity Diner. I'm going in now. Over."

"Willco." Colonel Ruffs confirmed. Kit pocketed her radio transmitter, and readied to Brawl.

Emz's camera flashed, capturing the moment.

Where To? || Kaminari x Reader

Summary: Denki Kaminari has been working with the League of Villains for the school year. He's been putting up a front and fake personality to keep his secret safe. However, the one thing he didn't count on was you. In the end, Kaminari has been found in a pond, one hand from Shigaraki in his clutches. The twist on this world? Like a popular tik tok trend, when you die, someone you have hurt the most comes to decide if you go to heaven, or hell. And you are his judge.

Warnings: Death

Authors Note: I honestly started this at like 3AM one night and now here I am 😳 Anyways, I hope you guys like it sorry for the angst that comes with it

Tags: @ijustwannachangemyuser @bluewritesmha @that-lowkey-weeb @pinkcowgirleggpanda

One moment ago, you had been sitting in class, with the rest of 1A as they grieved together over the loss of Denki Kaminari.

Two moments ago, Aizawa was explaining how he had just received a call that Denki had been found, alone in a lake, his quirk the ultimate cause. But one other important piece of evidence with him, a hand from Tomura Shigaraki.

Three moments ago, he had been explaining about Kaminari being the traitor of UA, working closely with the League of Villains.

But now, you were standing across Kaminari in the same pond that he had been found in, an electrical current dying out as his cries stopped, his eyes finding yours.

"(Y/n)?" His voice was hoarse, eyes red and puffy.

You looked around, fog rolling in around your legs, though you couldn't feel the water that looked to surround you, nor the fog.

"So...the rumors are true...I didn't think that'd I'd have to decide anyones fate so soon but…"

"Wait...does that mean.." he started, but the words fell short, his amber eyes looking around once more.

"You've died…"

"Then that means, " he turned in a circle, shaking his head quickly, "He...he got away!"

You stepped closer to him, in response, he stepped away, "No! (Y/n) you have to be quick, decide my fate! Warn Aizawa Sensei that the league is on their way!"

"But...I need time…" you pulled back, hand falling to your side.

"Just choose hell and be on your way! Please!" He pleaded with you, still leaving an open space between the two of you.

You stared at him incredulously, "Kaminari...thats...I'd be damning you!"

"Maybe I deserve it!" He yelled, his frustration and hate taking over as he kicked his foot, creating a wave of water that didn't touch you.

"All I ever did was pretend to be an idiot and betray everyone around me! And now you're here, and I have hurt you one more time!" His hands shook as he held them up, staring at them as they flickered with electricity.

"I sold everyone out each time. He asked me questions and without fail I gave them to him."

You shook your head, "Come on...there had to have been a reason! Tell me that he was pressuring you or that he had some way of manipulating you!"

His hands slowly turned to fists as he dropped them to his sides, "You don't get it! I faked everything! I pretended about everything! I made friends in order to keep my cover safe! I even.. I even started to date you to keep my cover safe! So just hurry up and choose hell and go be a hero!"

You stood quietly, his words like knives digging into your heart, creating chasms of heartache. Hot tears filled your eyes, you could barely wipe them away in time for them to be replaced with new ones, "That's..that's not true! Don't say it!"

"(Y/n)!"

"No! Stop it! I won't believe it! I'm the one who gets to make the decision! Don't try to lie to me, I know what I felt and who I was with! You aren't like that!"

At once, everything grew silent, neither of you saying a word more.

Instead, you were reflecting.

"(Y/L/N) was it? Im Denki, Denki Kaminari! Hero name Chargebolt ! Aizawa seated you next to me, so that means we're going to be good friends, maybe more if you catch my drift,"

You turned to the guy in the seat next to yours, immediately smiling and shaking your head, "Pfft wow! Are you trying to make a move on me already! I just transferred into the class literal minutes ago!"

"Hey what can I say, if I don't do it now, then the others might beat me to it," he flashed a wink your way, earning another chuckle from you.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Kaminari, hopefully you help keep this class interesting," you held your hand out to him, watching as he shook it.

"Sooo does this mean I've been friend zoned?"

You didn't answer, only leaving him to guess as to what your answer was.

"You...you were the first to welcome me into the class...even if you did hit on me right away. " You smiled softly, that memory of him had always been oddly charming to you.

"Because I had to keep my persona up,"

"You walked me to my next class, and any that we shared. You helped me befriend Mina, Sero, Kirishima, Jirou and even Bakugo…"

"I already told you! I had to make sure no one questioned me or my actions!"

"The second day that I had been in that class, at lunch, I had forgotten mine...so you gave me half of yours…and told me that if it happened again, you'd share any day,"

He didn't say anything for a moment, smiling before he did say something, "Sero called me a simp…"

That day still felt so familiar to you….

"Oh no…." You looked around the table, seeing that the others, who's names you were still trying to learn, had all brought their lunches.

"What is it (Y/L/N)?" Came the pink haired girl, who's bubblegum skin matched in such a pretty shade. She looked so concerned for you, even if she didn't know you all that well.

You let out a sheepish laugh, "Ahh I forgot my lunch…this morning I was in a rush…"

"Hey! Have some of mine!" Kaminari grinned, pushing his towards you, "We can split it!"

You turned to him, mouth open a little as you were caught off guard, "Wait really??"

"Yeah! And if it happens again, I'll share my lunch again! You can count on me,"

From across the table, the black haired boy, who had a contagious smile, coughed loudly, or cleared his throat, you weren't fully sure

After that, lunch had went by so smoothly, as if you had been friends with them for years.

"And later that day, you even gave me your number! " he sat down, the pond water now going up to his stomach. Though, like you, he couldn't feel it. Whatever cold that seeped its way into his body, was long gone.

You nodded, following suit and taking a seat, though you didn't look at the water too much, it was cloudy and murky, something you hated about lakes and ponds, "Yeah, and you sent me memes, even in class!"

"Well, I wanted to see you smile…"

"I know…"

But perhaps the memory you would hold dearest to you, was one that he had tried so hard to block out as he worked with the League.

The UA Winter Formal...just a few months after you had transferred into UA. The crew in charge of decorations had outdone themselves.

What was once the cafeteria, was now a room beautifully lit by fairy lights and pale blue lanterns. There were silky streamers hung across the room, catching the reflection of the lights off of them. At the front, Present Mic was behind a dj booth, a line of students waiting to ask for a song to queued.

You walked further in, trying to spot anyone you knew.

Currently, you were dressed in a very light shade of yellow, so delicately pale that in this lighting, it would be mistaken for white.

"(Y/n)! Over here!" Came the call from Kirishima, waving you over.

"Kiri! You look so manly! And Bakugo, I didn't think you'd actually show up!" You grinned as you walked up, earning a 'thanks' from Kiri and a scowl from Bakugo.

For the next few moments, you exchanged compliments with Mina and Jirou, and then joked with Sero.

But when that all came to an usual stop, you realized what was missing, well..who was missing.

"Where's Kami?" You asked, having to raise your voice slightly over the music.

Bakugo turned to you, thinking back for a moment, "Dunce face said something about feeling claustrophobic or whatever, he said he'd be in the hall? I'm surprised you didn't see him on your way in,"

You nodded slowly, humming in return, "ah thanks," You left after that, making your way around the groups of people, waving as you could hear your name from some friends.

As you reached the entrance once again, you looked up and down the hall, spotting him a ways away by a window, wearing black slacks, a white undershirt and black suspenders, his blazer hanging off his arm loosely, he had a tie on, a darker shade of red.

"Kaminari! Hey!" You called, making your way over until you stood a foot away, "Why are you all the way out here?"

"It was hot and stuffy in there, I needed some fresh air...and I was waiting to see if I could spot someone on their way in,"

Again Kaminari flashed a dazzling smile at you. And suddenly, your breath hitched in your throat, cheeks heating up.

Your stomach filled with dainty butterflies and you're pretty sure your heart stopped beating.

What was going on?? Were you...crushing? But there's no way….

Sure Kaminari tended to flirt with you, and you always laughed at his jokes and smiled at him whenever he smiled at you.

And sure, sometimes when he handed you something your hand would brush his and you'd think about it for a few moments .

And then there was that time when you were paired up in hero training, and you almost fell off a building in the city area, and then he pulled you back and basically hugged you because you were scared and then later on that was all you could think of.

...okay yeah you were definitely crushing but why did it have to act up now ?!

"Uhh…(Y/n)??? Earth to (Y/n)?"

You blinked, looking back to Kaminari, who was now fully facing you instead of the window, "Sorry! I uh, spaced out there…"

"It's okay! I'm used to seeing you space off, you do it often," Denki laughed, only furthering the complicated feelings you were having.

"I don't do it too often…" you gave a small smile, knowing full and well that you ventured into wonderland quite often.

"Hey, (Y/n)...do you want to dance by any chance? Right here? I can still kind of hear the music,"

You gave a startled look, eyes wide as you took in what he said, but you quickly changed to a smile, "Yes! I'd love that!"

At your approval, Denki gently wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to him, almost stealing away all the air from your lungs.

You looked up to him, your hands moving up to circle around his neck loosely.

God he was so pretty. Even just the light that streamed in from the window seemed to make his eyes sparkle with their golden color.

"What are you doing?" He murmured, gazing back into your own eyes, an amused smile played out onto his face.

You shook your head quickly, looking down and away, words caught in your throat.

"(Y/n)...look at me,"

A hand moved away from your hip, gentle fingers cupping your face as he turned you to look at him.

You weren't sure how it happened...but in a fleeting moment, he had kissed you. At this point, you weren't sure if the tingles running throughout your body were caused by you, or him.

He pulled away for a breath with a smile, and you pulled him back for another kiss, an overwhelming feeling of happiness washing over you.

After that, you both had left from the dance, and enjoyed the rest of the night together, watching movies and playing video games. It was the beginning of your relationship.

"Denki.. whatever the reason for this...I know you aren't a villain. You're Denki Kaminari, the student who offered me lunch on my second day. You're the student who saw a general education kid crying and joked with them to make them feel better!"

"(Y/n)..."

"And you're the one who I..who I love okay? So stop trying to make me hate you! "

His eyes went wide, filling with more tears. You rushed to him through the mucky water, grasping him. You clutched at his clothes starting to cry with him.

"I love you so much and I'll always love you, I swear!" You buried your head into his neck, feeling him hold onto you just as tightly as you were holding onto him.

"(Y/n) I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I want more time with you, I want to spend life with you. Im sorry fuck..I love you so much. You're the reason I'm even here! Shigaraki was planning on attacking the school and he threatened you and I panicked and I tried to shock him and..and...the water here...I wasn't thinking," he started to work himself into a panic.

You stroked his hair, shushing him gently until you both calmed down enough.

Finally, he looked to you, amber eyes red and puffy just as you had found him, and asked with a sad smile, "So...where to?"

You shook your head, tears still falling as you kissed his forehead, the water and the area around you falling away, "I think we both know.."

It’s that time of year again! I, and possibly a good number of you reading this, just spent the whole of 2018 in the Gorillaz fandom. Congratulations! You made it! Because this year...kinda sucked. Not just for the Gorillaz fandom but, if this Washington Post article is any indication, for the rest of the world too. Maybe on an individual level there were moments of light. Maybe Gorillaz was your moment of light. If it was I’m genuinely happy because that means you probably found a way to avoid or ignore all the chaos that went down this year. But overall? Fandom was rife with disappointments, confusion and conflict with some good parts (for me, at least) sprinkled in here and there. Below is a personal reflection on the top 10 significant events in fandom of 2018.

1. Murdoc Goes to Prison

2018 started out peacefully for fandom. We were just finishing up sharing our scans of G-Magazine and theorizing over the next album when we’re treated with this - a nineteen second mocap of a frantic Murdoc accepting a Brit Award with an “oh by the way I’m going to prison.” We didn’t know why or for how long, and, though fans were confused and Murdoc going to prison is a tired, overplayed storyline at this point, it was cherished as any new Gorillaz content, especially animation, is cherished. Memes were made, most notably the #FreeMurdoc hashtag complete with a petition which was acknowledged by creators and caused the first big outburst in fandom for its messy tag. I did what I always do with Murdoc videos and went through the entire thing frame by frame to collect screenshots. Little did I know that this would be the only time I would get to indulge in this beloved past time. Little did I know that I would be wearing the same expression as Murdoc is in this screencap this entire phase.

2. Murdoc hate

Murdoc hate has always existed. It’s also generally accepted. However, when it was confirmed that Murdoc was going to be in prison for an undetermined amount of time and that he may not even speak this phase (thanks a lot, phase 5 plot!) it reached unprecedented levels of viciousness. Some fans took every opportunity to drag him in the main tag, start debates with anyone who might mention one positive thing about him and expressed how they genuinely wanted him to die and/or never come back. It kinda reminded me of this season of MTV’s The Challenge when everyone ganged up on Johnny Bananas. Like, yes he’s an asshole and yes this was probably long overdue but also omg when is there and end point? Is there an end point? It was like some people hated Murdoc more than they liked Gorillaz. For some additional context - this tense environment was born out of an astoundingly severe conflict that happened in spring where three separate fandom storms that had been brewing since late 2017 collided into one huge mess. Discords were raided, friendships were lost, the police were called (I’m not even exaggerating). I won’t go into it more but if you were there, you know what i’m talking about. Murdoc wasn’t the cause of this, but his character was at the center of one of those storms and the canon sending him to prison only reignited the ire towards him. For awhile Murdoc fans weren’t sure were exactly they stood with the greater fandom, and new fans were confused as to why this one green character was the source of so much grief for haters and fans alike. This continued for most of the year (and still continues today), hence why it’s getting a mention now.

3. Ace

Believe it or not Murdoc and Ace are confirmed #friends. You wouldn’t know that from all the Murdoc vs Ace content that sprung out of this year but Ace was the one who joined Murdoc for hot chocolate after he got out of prison, “they go way back” etc etc. Ace was a big deal because it was probably the only time the fandom guessed something correctly this entire year. Jamie began posting cryptic pictures of Noodle with this unidentified man, then another with only the Ace card visible. “It a Powerpuff Girls crossover!” Some people claimed. But that seemed so random? Really? A B-list cartoon villain from a cartoon targeting an entirely different demographic? More likely than you think! Ace never spoke a word and he wasn’t allowed to smoke or have sex. People obsessed over him anyways. To this day I still have no idea who he is or what kind of personality he has or really anything. But he wasn’t a bad guy (more on that later) and he was Murdoc’s friend so he’s alright with me.

4. Messaging Denholm

By now the fandom was fraught with distress on so many levels. We were lost. We needed someone to guide us, to show us the way, to show us the #truth. I don’t know exactly who started this trend but it soon spread around Reddit and other social media sites that Jamie’s son Denholm was replying to dm’s on Instagram and soon, he was graced with a deluge of of inquiries from casual fans and Murdoc stans alike. The thing is though - he actually *did* answer them. Many of us had spoilers re: Murdoc and Ace’s friendship, Murdoc getting out of prison, etc. MONTHS before they happened. I believe he even told us that 2D was fine back in like, June or something. Denholm knew! Eventually we pissed him off but it didn’t stop him from answering. He just answered angrier. It also caused fans to argue more because people started accusing others of photoshopping his responses and nothing can ever be done peacefully here. I haven’t followed up on this story singe the end of summer but I think fans have finally scaled back on the messaging. But I hear he’s working on a Gorillaz documentary for 2019 so...I’m sure we’ll be talking again soon.

5. Noodle

I want to take a moment here to also acknowledge the struggle AMA Gorillaz hosted on, of all places, Youtube. Thankfully, diligent redditors compiled a google doc of all the answers otherwise they would lost thanks to Youtube’s confusing interface. ANYHOW. The answer that stirred up the biggest milieu of debate and confusion came from Noodle. This isn’t exactly my lane - I don’t wade into Noodle issues and I don’t id as part of the LGBT community - so I’m not going to say much here other than, at the very least, this was the second or third time she has officially denied any interest in dating her bandmates.

6. 2D’s journal/2Doc

Okay first of all: 2DOC...jk, jk...jk? But no, honestly, this actually did become a big story this year, much bigger than expected. The release of 2D’s journal was the catalyst here, revealing a number of drawings and images of Murdoc. “Souk Eye,” a song that came with visuals featuring close ups of Murdoc’s face and vaguely romantic lyrics was depicted in 2D’s journal next to yet another drawing of Murdoc. We were confused! 2D didn’t care that Murdoc was gone, right? 2Doc shippers were intrigued. I was hesitant. We were all called delusional. However, “Souk Eye” was later confirmed to be a love song by Damon Albarn, and Murdoc and 2D have both claimed their relationship is “better” since the end of phase 5 (hhMmMmM). Obvi, take this with a grain of salt because it’s Gorillaz but the journal was instrumental in confirming how closely The Now Now (and the entire plot of phase 5, really) was tied to Murdoc and 2D’s relationship, particularly what 2D thinks of Murdoc. Think of it as platonic if you want but they share a closeness on SOME level and the content of 2018, from interviews to the Murdoc chats to the album itself, supports this. I rest my case.

7. Lost theories

Pour one out for all the lost theories. If you were a new fan this year you probably came up with a theory, or you got really invested in a theory. Some examples: HIM from PPG orchestrating the destruction of Gorillaz by possessing 2D and getting Murdoc framed with Ace as a double agent, or Murdoc’s imprisonment being tied to his trouble with EMI from phase 4, or phase 5 being about time travel, or Murdoc crashing Demon Dayz fest and fighting El Mierda on stage, or 2D being the one to frame Murdoc or Murdoc’s inmate number (24602) being a Les Mis reference implying that he’d get a character arc similar to Jean Valjean...you get the idea. But there are dreams that cannot beeee, and there are storms we cannot weather. You can argue about the budget or G-Shock or whatever but the truth is Gorillaz is just disorganized. This is their Brand™.

8. The Murdoc Chatbot

Gorillaz did an interesting thing this year - it let us talk to Murdoc! Sometime around June, he writers decided that the plot of phase 5 would be best spent, not on exploring the band’s dynamic with Murdoc gone or developing Ace’s personality, but on Murdoc! Fandom spent most of the summer following Murdoc’s experience in prison and helping to “free” him via a chatbot you could access through Kik, Instagram or Facebook. Basically, Murdoc was Paddington from Paddington 2, and we the fans were supposed to be the Browns trying to break him out and prove his innocence. Other fans begrudgingly used the chatbot to make fun of him or tell him to die and follow along with the story (it was the only place you could get plot updates). It was a neat idea as well as a funny experience to pretend to be talking to him, and the plot was very engaging at times. It was the chatbot that revealed the very dissatisfying (albeit happy) conclusion that Murdoc is no Paddington and had lied about everything - being framed, El Mierda etc. - but felt really bad about it. His apology was basically this. I’m going to also tag the #FreeMurdoc merchandise debacle, how overpriced it was and how it ended up being pointless anyways because Murdoc wasn’t framed and didn’t need to be “freed” onto this, because it all falls under the same event. Oh, and you got to talk to Noodle sometimes, too.

9. G-shock ends phase 5

I put “ends phase 5″ in strikethrough because G-Shock on its own is actually pretty cool, and made up for the lack of videos (2 in total) that were released this year. The now Murdoc inclusive band goes to space and starts an alien war! That’s fun! Completely removed from whatever phase 5 was, but fun! (And I say that genuinely) What was messy about G-shock was that it came out of nowhere. The final Murdoc chat, that was SUPPOSED to reveal the ending to the prison arc, hadn’t even happened but suddenly, Murdoc was back to sell watches to aliens with the rest of the band and Ace was gone. But the final chat was delayed by a month and G-Shock came out anyways. Out of this came memes about how phase 5 ended so Gorillaz could try to sell us watches.

10. Cass Browne Tells us the True Plastic Beach Ending

We ended 2018 with not one but two major interviews from the fancast, Hallelujah Monkeyz but I’m choosing to cover their latest interview with Cass Browne, writer of Rise of the Ogre. If you were new this year you probably heard older fans mention ad nauseam how much they missed this guy name Cass. Well, Cass came back and dropped actual bombs about the true ending of phase 3, Murdoc’s lost backstory and the Plastic Beach book he found AND that a sequel to ROTO was planned and dropped. Understandably, this sparked a lot of discussion and also revealed just how important Cass was to the continuity of the Gorillaz storyline. Back then, we had ROTO and Plastic Beach. Today, we have “Murdoc drowns in poop and reunites with the band offscreen”

And that’s the year! And look I’m not saying this because I’m a stan but this was a Murdoc year. He was at the center of like, at least 80% of the angst and joy of fandom and I could make separate “top 10 Murdoc moments” or “top 10 2Doc moments.” I guess for me, on an individual level, it was an alright year. For one, I actually talked to more people this year and met some really great friends (something I don’t typically do in fandom). I also get to check “write a fanfic” off my bucket list (it’s still a WIP but it’s the first WIP I’ve ever had so I’m counting it). And personally, my life has changed and without getting into too many details I’ve overcome a lot, grown professionally and...I think I can be kinda proud of myself for that. I expect 2019 to be a slower year than this one, and, I think the fandom needs that. Hopefully I’ll still see some of you around because I’m going to be here for at least the next few months while I finish up you know what.

Honorable mentions: 2D “Dies” of Ligma and other 2D memes, 2D writes The Now Now, Benjamin Clementine says he regrets working with Gorillaz, Noodles old VA confirms Jamie ghosted her and recast Noodle without telling her, Gorillaz delay the final Murdoc chat by a month, Demon Dayz doesn’t get streamed, Music video releases - “Humilty” and “Tranz”, Cyborg Noodle returns with boobs and causes debate, the “Let Ace Speak” petition,

#endofyear #long post /#there's a 2doc mention in here just fyi if you want to avoid #not as organized as last year's that's for sure #but here it is!#again this is more for my records and tradition but also here to read if you want

{{ “Be Honest” mun meme

{{ Questions list taken from here:

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/hellhaeths/182092480007

What would prevent you from following someone? Not trigger-tagging, or not using cuts for ns//fw scenes. (I have really intense emet*phobia, so if you don't tag for that, or won't tag for it upon request, I absolutely cannot follow. Savior catches most posts for me, even if they're not tagged, but there are just So Many Euphemisms and Various Ways to Describe It that it only works 75% of the time.)

Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why? As far as blog theme, not really-- I just like fiddling around to find something that evokes their General Vibe, and seeing what themes other muns like! I won't judge by them though. When it comes to thread aesthetics, I actually prefer to leave them utterly unformatted and plain-text as possible. I have ADHD and Fancy Unicode and Symbols and All That makes it really hard for me to focus on what's going on in the thread, not to mention I don't have the attention span to match another mun's Styling like that. (Also, fun fact: I always have my Tumblr Dash at 75% zoom, and Dove’s theme already has text at a Very Readable Size, so nothing ever needs to be Smallified for me.)

What current rp trend do you hate? I don't think there are any I "hate", though I get confused on all the Different Verses that everyone has. (In all my years of writing fanfic, I've only ever written Exactly One (1) AU, and I never read them outside of rp. AUs just aren't my thing.)

How do you explain rp to someone in the real world? "Taking turns writing what the characters are doing." Everyone afk has been pretty supportive. (They all know I'm a writer, so like... it's Nothing New.)

Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why? I genuinely don't care either way! Guy, gal, nonbinary pal: as long as they're fun to write with, I don't mind a bit. (And Dove has no preference, either.)

Do you prefer writing male muses or female more? Why? Statistically, I have 3 female muses (4 if we count Evangeline as her own person and not just A Part of Dove Manifested)... and only 1 male. (And technically, both Srentha and Leyla are genderqueer, so it's really only Dove and Kary that are cis women.) But that's not intentional? Evangeline is feminine because Dove is feminine, and Kary was originally my girlfriend's-- if she was a male I still would've hardcore adopted him. It just kind of worked out that way. I just enjoy writing people, not gender roles.

Name any three things about the rpc that bother you. 1.) The aforementioned Verse Thing. (It doesn't really bother me, I'm just easily confused by Similar-Except-Vaguely-Different Things due to the ADHD.) 2.) Some people still don't know that godmodding isn't okay. 3.) The distaste for OCs??? I guess that doesn't exactly "bother" me either, because people are allowed to have preferences... but, I mean, I spent several years active in, and then Actually Running, a group of 1300 members on dA completely DEDICATED to OCs, and it was a blast, so I just don't understand why people don't like rping with them as much as canon characters. I personally find OCs more satisfying to explore, more surprising in every thread because you just don't know what to expect, and you have a LOT more freedom for plotting and reactions! Like! You can Shed the Constraints of Canon and Revel in your Newfound OC-Based Freedom!! Truly Become your Character's GOD!!!

What is your opinion on exclusivity? Do you practice it? Why / why not? Nah, I love the variety different muns can bring to the same muse! Other people can stay exclusive if they like. Being an OC mun, it doesn't exactly affect me. 8F

Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them? (I don't really know how this pertains to RP?) But there was one time when someone gave me a really vague commission request, out of the blue, for a fandom I know absolutely nothing about, and just kept saying things like "Whatever you think they'd do!" when I asked for plot, characterization, or preference details... I never finished it because I Didn't Even Know how to START.

What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started? The reply doesn't have to be perfect. Or dramatic, even. Not every reply is going to shatter someone's heart or absolutely make their day. And that's perfectly okay!

Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it? Nnnnot on Tumblr. (There was a LOT of drama amongst admins of the dA group, which strongly attributed to the decline of me RPing on dA, but I definitely do not regret standing up for myself. I do wish I'd been able to foresee it, though, and brought someone else on staff who was actually going to, you know, do the job they applied for?)

Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind? Never! Well not on Tumblr anyways. There was a period where my favorite partners were all going inactive, and I couldn't find anyone who wanted to interact with Dove, so of course I was despairing, wondering if I'd ever get to explore what I wanted to explore with her. But then I decided, you know what, so what if I can't find any canon Titans to advance her Tumblr timeline? I'll just fill in the blanks with fanfic canon, and work from there! Making that decision was so freeing.

Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person? Oh, positive, absolutely. I may be too busy to really attend to it much nowadays, but my writing style has improved DRAMATICALLY, I've made so many friends, and I've learned things about Dove that I never would've discovered in the stories alone. (Or at least, it might've been discovered on a ten-year delay. 8F)

How has rp changed you personally? I was able to find fast friends, make connections with people over common interests, and my very first experience with leadership happened because I hung around a TTOC dA chatroom (because, specifically, I’d gotten ADDICTED to rp), came to love the people and characters, and decided, when the current admins had to step down, I would like to step up.

If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why? I'd like tags to stop breaking, that'd be nice. (But that’s an issue with Tumblr itself, not the rps.)

Have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? Why? Pff, no. Mostly because if I really want something to happen, I'll either post an open, OR I'll do what I'm doing here, and just answer the questions myself. 8F I have a lot of fun doing this with headcanon question lists.

Have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? Why? No, but that's because I'm all about learning (+spreading) positive self-talk, de-escalation, and avoiding drama. Drama doesn't serve anyone.

Do you delete anon hate or post and address it? Why? I address it and then block the sender, because I want everyone to know I don't stand for that. And I have this stubborn streak about standing up for myself, so, you know... Gotta Address It First. (And I've defended Dove from Mary Sue accusations since I started posting about her in 2006, so it doesn't bother me, but I love pointing out all the reasons that, Jack Rider voice: You Are Wrong!)

Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with? Nope, but that's because if I can't or don't want to, I'm open and transparent about it. (Not on Tumblr, anyways. There was one particular person in the dA chats that kept trying to make RPs All About His Muse, but we shut that down too.)

Have you ever followed someone because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to? Hell no! I've never Automatically Followed Back, and it's right there in my rules, I need a little communication before I start interacting.

What would make you block someone? Anon hate, reblogging/replying to rps that don't involve them, starting their own rps on my posts, Bad Takes in the Tags, shipping something I genuinely can't stand... I use the block button pretty liberally. I just don't need that stuff in my life, in my tags, or on my dash.

Have you ever stolen something from someone else? Well I have adopted a couple of headcanons re: Canon Characters from the teentitansheadcanons blog. (Like hc that, one time, Beast Boy was a bug and someone almost squished him, so now they put all the bugs outside, just in case. I love that for some reason, so I adopted it.) And every now and again I'll see something in fanfic I like: Azarath Has Two Suns, I saw that in a fanfic and it just felt so RIGHT, so I adopted that too. But, I mean, rping as an OC, there's really not a lot I can steal. 8F

Have you ever had something stolen from you? If so, how did you handle it? Not on Tumblr, but somebody once stole a picture of Srentha from dA and used it in a random webs-page blog about their dreams? ??? I have no idea why they used him, or how they even fOUND him, but I kinda just shrugged and let it go.

Are you open to duplicates? Why / why not? (Isn't this basically the same question as "are you exclusive"? Because I have the same answer. I am, because I like seeing other muns' interpretations of the same character.)

How do you feel about vague posting? Use your own judgement for your own blog, but it's not something I do myself. If I have to vaguepost to vent something, I'll usually go on a more private blog, or at least stick it under a Read More.

Do you follow people even if they don’t follow you back? Yes! I like reading rps almost as much as I like writing them.

Do you read people’s rules before following or interacting? Always.

What is your opinion on “reblog karma” and do you practice it? I try to! Sometimes I can't figure out what to send in for the blog I get in from, but most of the time, I'll send something any time I reblog something. I really appreciate it when people send something in before reblogging from me, personally. c: (I get it if you can’t or don’t want to. But it sure is nice!)

How have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? Do you use it in every day life? Do you use it at all? Not really, but I rarely use slang at all. Unless I'm actually talking about rp, muses, muns, etc, then I'll use those words.

Is there something you don’t know the meaning of but you haven’t asked anyone because you think it’s supposed to be general knowledge? Was there ever something you had to ask someone to explain? I'm that Ravenclaw who always asks questions as soon as I encounter I don't know, and I don't use words without knowing what they mean. Kinda defeats the purpose of words that way.

Have you ever experienced discrimination? Well, Dove has, since people have that "I don't like OCs" mindset. Or "she's related to a canon character, so she's automatically a Mary Sue". It's not as big of a Discrimination as sexism or racism, don't get me wrong! But it HAS limited our scope of interaction, and I personally think it’s a little unfair to make judgments like that.

How do you feel about personal blogs following your rp blog? Go for it.

Have you ever cried while writing a reply? Mmmmaybe once? More often my heartrate just raises a little in an exciting moment, or I write out a ten-paragraph response in a one-hour fit of delighted manic wordsmithing, but I've definitely been touched. (I'm just... not very good at crying when I'm focused on writing. 8F)

Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own? There's definitely a bias towards my own! (Before my EHD died, I had about a hundred and fifty rps saved as word documents.) But I also enjoy reading others' threads.

What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you? Hmm...Spelling and grammatical errors. When I was copying chat rps to word docs, I started editing the replies for readability, and that habit kinda transferred to Tumblr, so when I'm not in a hurry, or I have an Unusually Long Attention Span, when I copy the replies, sometimes I'll just edit them, but I'm not mad about it. Just got into that habit.

How do you feel about tagging triggers? Do you tag them? How do you determine what is triggering content and what isn’t? It is absolutely ESSENTIAL for me to have triggers tagged for ME, so of course I extend the same courtesy to others. I don't presume to know what triggers people; I've made it very clear that if anyone needs something tagged, they just have to ask, and I'll tag it. No questions asked. (Though if they want to vent about it, I'm open to that too.)

What advice would you give to someone new to rp? Just GO for it! I know it can be scary and intimidating and overwhelming to see a great writer and think, "Gosh I want to interact with them So Much".. .and you know what, sometimes you will get rejected. Sometimes you just won't mesh with muns. Sometimes your characters don't have a very exciting dynamic. But you'll never find those Goldmine RP Partners if you don't at least ASK.

(BRENT was the orignal host but had to beg out a couple episodes in cos he was juggling too many commitments so which fair!)

ryan and shane were desk partners and longtime buzzfeed pals that ? if i remember correctly? interned together back when they first started?

ryan turned to shane one day and was like ‘yo, wanna cohost this show with me?’ and shane was like 'sure.’ and honestly trying to picture it now without shane?? okay ryan and shane just bounce off each other so well theyre like a dream team. god bless them being desk buddies and work pals.

shanes a freak

does not believe in ghosts spirits orbs and all things that go bump in the night like he seems to genuinely want to but like. science and his big ass brain wont let him.

very smart! can rly work a patterned floral shirt! or plaid! kinda gives a dad vibe in glasses but then he talks and its like okay please never supervise a child!

v into history! so much so that he has his own lil show on buzzfeed aka:

RUINING HISTORY

stars him along with ryan and sara (his beautiful and smart and talented gf who also works at buzzfeed <3) with some other ever changing cohosts

hes also responsible for The Hot Dog Saga aka THE HOTDAGA and i know there are people that adore it but! in their own words! id rather walk into the sea.

ryan, too, hates the hotdaga and i feel like this was? about the hotdaga after shane sung something fuck if i remmebr

ryan letting shane live as long as he has? true friendship

whenever theyre at the lil desk in their lil basement talking cases shane just talks shit and ryan just lets him and i fucking love them

the LAST FRAME

oh one time they lucked out with a hotel that had a jacuzzi tub <3

yknow what? this was actually kinda sweet. like yeh bitch

shane madej: nations greatest tragedy.

i can hear this in my head just looking at these gifs and it makes me laugh everytime and thats BAD cos a child fucking died

shanes a freak pt.2

OH SHIT one time in postmortem they joked that brent was coming back and shane was leaving and fuck? they had to actually address that it was a joke fUCK

its not all shittalking and screaming there really is some fond and happy shit too

bfu most recognisable and iconic line.

shanes hottest pick up lines when hes on site

the comments on the video for this ep about this part are fucking hilarious please read when you watch that ep

okay its common knowledge that shanes a demon which ill tlak about in a sec but THIS SCENE RIGHT HERE? ryans the fucking demon. like the way hes just standing there, hands clasped behind his back, giving shane (whos acting like a CHILD) that Look? demon bout to kill the dumbass chillin at a haunted house on halloween. come to collet a soul or 10. magical!

OKAY SO SHANE TALKS SOME BIG GAME IN THE EPS but HIS love for ryan will always melt my heart like HE LOVES and cares about ryan so much and supports buzzfeed unsolved so much and whenever things get dumb on social media shanes ready to call it out and make a post or just like. praise ryan (like he rightfully deserves) and yeah im emo about it anyway hes shane being cute part one and heres shane REALLY FUCKING going all out (!!!!!!!!!!.meme)i LOVE him also being cute part two

Okay, it’s Personal(TM) Time.

This has been on my mind for awhile, and since my url has the word “musical” in it, but I don’t actually talk about music in-depth a whole lot on here, I thought now was as good of a time as any to put this out there.

I talk about suicidal ideation and other ugly mental illness things under the cut, so I’m putting that as a content warning both here and in the tags.

So, as many people who regularly pay attention to my blog probably know, I have dealt almost my entire life with multiple concurrent mental illnesses, which has, to put it bluntly, been an utterly hellish experience that has made even existing as a person very hard sometimes.

There have been many times I have felt hopeless, incapable of moving, or borderline-numb to reality. There have been times I have felt angry at the concept of existence itself because mine was so hard for me. There have been times I have been so full of rage due to my brain hellscape and the inability to function the way I wanted that I was incapable of connecting with other people or doing my job or feeling any kind of positive feelings toward myself.

And there were, yes, a lot of times where I thought that killing myself might be the answer. I made a plan. I made a back-up plan. I fantasized about how I and everyone around me would be free from all of my gross, mental illness hell if I were no longer alive.

But the one thing that always got me through was music. Always. Whether it was me focusing on practicing or finding catharsis through songs that understood my feelings, that was what kept me going. That was what kept me from giving up performing, and that was what kept me alive.

I say this because there has been...a rather distressing trend I’ve seen in terms of how we view certain types of music. Although, in this particular case, I’m only going to talk about one band (or, I guess, more specifically, one person, in particular).

I know it’s probably way too late to talk about this, but I’m going to anyway.

The band in question is Linkin Park. The man, of course, is Chester Bennington.

For anyone who might not be familiar with this whole situation, Linkin Park is a rockish-metalish band (I’m not good at classifying genres of music and I don’t want people to yell at me) that has been around for a pretty long time. They were a pretty big deal when I was in middle/high school, and were actually one of my first positive experiences with music that was not Tchaikovsky or Mozart or musical theatre. They were known for making loud, emotional songs that were filled with pain, angst, and other unsubtle, ugly feelings. And then in 2017, Chester Bennington, their lead singer, killed himself.

I had seen so many memes joking about this band’s “overdramatic” or “wangsty” or “first world problems white boy” music. But...Chester actually felt all of those things. I felt all of those things. That extreme exemplification of pain and rage and sadness and emptiness and self-hatred was exactly what I felt all the time because that’s exactly how suicidal ideation feels.

And there were so many people talking about how “He’s singing about his youthful angst when he has no reason to have any, his life is fine.” But his life was not fine. His life was so not-fine that he decided he’d literally rather die.

I got that a lot, too. People who asked me why I was so upset all the time. People who told me they wished they were me, with my good grades and parents who were still together who loved me. There was nothing wrong with my life. I was just afraid and sad for no reason. I was “crazy.” “Overdramatic.”

But it was music like this, music that understood how I felt, music that I could use as an outlet that made me feel less like an ungrateful, melodramatic, bratty young person and more like a human being who deserved to be listened to, that got me through. This was what I listened to, and this was what I needed when I was having a mental breakdown at two am thinking about what would happen if I dropped out of school and lived as a dirty wilderness hermit at best and just never woke up again at worst.

And I see this all the time. People criticize so much punk or modern rap or “emo” music (and I’m not talking about genuinely unhelpful, counterproductive pieces like “Sad!” by XXX) for being “too needlessly sad” and “self-indulgent in angst” or “overly-loud whining about nothing.” They dismiss music like this as overly-glorified teenagers/young adults complaining about how their parents won’t buy them the newest iphone. And, yeah, inevitably, some music will be that. But so, so much of it is not.

You can’t listen to Chester Bennington’s entire personal, pain-ridden output and then tell me it makes no sense that he was suicidally depressed. There’s a reason his and the band’s music spoke to me. There’s a reason I still cry about his death on a regular basis. Because that very easily could have been me. And I hate to think about any other person dealing with this and coming to the conclusion that that was the answer.

And maybe, next time someone says they’re dealing with stuff, even if things seem “okay” on the surface...believe them. Don’t write them off as just having trivial, insignificant problems that aren’t real. If someone wants to listen to angsty teen pop or make angsty teen pop, just let them. Because that might be what’s keeping them from imploding. (Again, this does not excuse toxic, abusive, or ableist attitudes, and things like “Sad!” absolutely deserve to be criticized. This also does not mean we coddle people who think “white boy” is a racial slur or who feel insulted if someone calls them out for making rape jokes. I’m talking about the young people who listen to, like...Green Day and MCR and Linkin Park and all of the “angsty emo” bands that people typically think of.)

And, for the love of God, don’t ever, ever tell someone dealing with mental illness that they have no good reason to be upset, that they’re just being ungrateful, or that other people have it worse. If someone is is pain, accept that they are in pain. Don’t gaslight them, don’t shame them, don’t invalidate them, don’t mock them, and don’t belittle or take away their genuinely healthy coping mechanisms.

I’ve seen a lot of hate get leveled at Linkin Park and similar bands for venting their frustrations “overdramatically.” It’s time that stopped.

And for anyone struggling with this: you don’t deserve to feel like this. What you feel is real, and I’m sorry that is your reality. This is your sign to stay alive. To not give up. You are loved, and I can promise you that the world would be less without you. You are not alone, and you will get through this. You will come out on the other end, you will recover, and I will be standing to greet you. I am proud of you for making it this far, and please, please don’t give up on your dreams. Stay alive. I love you.

do em all gang

this ended up being SUPER LONG. so instead of clogging up the dash,, i just put it under a cut. but here. all 38 of this meme here.

1. what would prevent you from following someone?

i won't follow back if there isn't a rules page for me to read. OR if i can't find the link to the rules page. i'm a stickler for being able to read someone's rules. it makes me super anxious not to be able to do so.

2. are aesthetics important to you? if they are, why?

sometimes. i won't NOT follow someone if i don't like their aesthetic. because when it comes right down to it -- i don't have to see someone’s aesthetics every day. just their writing.

3. what current rp trend do you hate?

i actually can't really think of one? i'm not super in the know about all the trends, though.

4. how do you explain rp to someone in the real world?

i've been roleplaying long enough that most people in my life know that i roleplay. but -- if i have to explain it to someone new... i kinda just tell them like -- i roleplay. and if they don't know what it is or if they immediately go to kinky things then i go more in depth and explain that no it's a writing thing between two people.

5.do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? why?

i don't really have a preference, if we're being honest. i know that most people do but... i really can't think of a single reason why i prefer one over the other.

6. do you prefer writing male muses or female more? why?

considering i have several more male muses than female you could probably say that i have a preference for male muses. but? i don't know exactly why that is. i think that... it just happens that way. i think that it's because i gravitate towards the abused boys, lmao. i want to cuddle them and love them and make them happy.

7. what's your opinion on call out posts?

i don't like them. i feel like things could be resolved in messages or with a block. but then again -- i've never been in a situation like that. so i don't know what the mindset is behind putting someone on blast.

8. name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

i really hate that we all can't just be nice & respect each other. i hate that people seem to gravitate to male muses more than they do female ones. & i absolutely cannot stand the drama.

9. what is your opinion on exclusivity? do you practice it? why / why not?

i have my preferences... but i don't practice exclusives anymore. i find that it causes more drama than it's worth.

10. have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? as either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

no, i haven't.

11. what do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started.

i've been roleplaying since i was twelve. over the years i've learned, as a sheltered homeschooled kid, that people can be harsh. it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings to be mean to you. / writing is hard. i've really had to work at getting to where i am now. & that this is a hobby, not a job. i don't have to do anything that i don't want to do.

12. have you ever been involved in drama? do you regret it?

not on tumblr, no.

13. have you ever thought about leaving rp? what caused it? what changed you mind?

i've thought about leaving roleplay hundreds of times since i was twelve. since i've been on tumblr though, i've never really thought about quitting altogether. i have, however, thought about changing fandoms a few times.

14. do you think rp has a positive or a negative effect on your life or you as a person?

i think it's had both, honestly. it has brought me so many great friends that i hope to keep forever. but on the other hand, there has been a whole helluva lot of drama over the years that have caused me to cry & stress out a lot. i put far too much effort into making people online like me. i worry far too much about what they think.

15. has rp changed you personally?

YES. all of my social interaction for years has come from online & rp. my friends have shaped and changed me from an innocent, anxious child. to an even more anxious adult. i have grown up on roleplay. like i said, i have been roleplaying since i was 12. i've changed a lot since then. i don't know what rp & the online community has directly affected to explain and what was just destined... but. lmao.

16. if you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? why?

i'd change how everyone treats each other. i just really wish that everyone could get along. i hate seeing people getting left out.

17. have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? why?

no, i haven't. i've sent asks to myself in the very beginning to see what they would look like on themes -- but it was never on anon & they got deleted just after.

18. have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? why?

NO. i have never done this. i've never even thought of it. i don't agree with it, either.

19. do you delete anon hate or post and address it? why?

i have never received anon hate ( so far. ) so i'm unsure how i would address it. probably just delete it and move on.

20. have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren't comfortable with?

YES. it's been a few years. but back where i used to write. everything was pretty anything goes. and there were a few times where i was uncomfortable with the scenes i was doing.

21. have you ever followed someone because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to?

yes.

22. what would make you block someone?

repeatedly breaking my rules. i'd soft block first. i'd only block if they came back and continued to do it.

23. have you ever stolen something from someone else?

i will admit, i have taken plot ideas before & wrote them with friends on discord. but i've never stolen anything like graphics or icons. that's not cool.

24. have you ever had something stolen from you? if so, how did you handle it?

no, i haven't.

25. are you open to duplicates? why / why not?

in the past i've been very open to duplicates. as of recent, i've been having some major duplicate anxiety. i don't like to see them on my dash. BUT i've made several good friends out of duplicates in other fandoms. so? i guess i'm chill w/ them. sometimes it just makes me anxious, haha.

26. how do you feel about vague posting?

not big on it, tbh.

27. do you follow people even if they don't follow you back?

i don't really check my mututals that often ! when i do, i'll go unfollow the people that i know i've been following for a while that never followed me back. but that's rare. tbh i don't really follow people first much anymore? idk sksks.

28. do you read people's rules before following or interacting?

ALWAYS. i literally will have anxiety if i don't. lmao.

29. what is your opinion on "reblog karma" and do you practice it?

i ALWAYS try to send a meme if i can. but i don't actively practice reblog karma -- i don't really care tbh. i'm grateful for all the memes i get. & with credence,, there are very few memes i'm comfortable w/ sending from him just bc of how he is. he's v picky w/ memes. if i can't send something i DO try to reblog from the source but shrug

30. how have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? do you use it in everyday life? do you use it at all?

i think it depends by what slang you mean? i've picked up several things from tumblr & twitter too? they're very similar in the way everyone talks. so?? i guess that i've picked it up idk skksks.

31. is there something you don't know the meaning of, but you haven’t asked anyone because you think it's supposed to be general knowledge? was there ever something you had to ask someone to explain?

i google a lot of the things i don't understand. which is a lot. or i ask morgan lmao.

32. have you ever experienced discrimination?

no, i don't think so.

33. how do you feel about personal blogs following your rp blog?

i don't mind them following as long as they don't interact & throw off my activity.

34. have you ever cried while writing a reply?

yes, i have. most certainly.

35. do you read other people's threads, or do you only read your own?

i only really read my own. & morgan's if she sends them to me! sometimes i'll skim replies on the dash but i never really search out whole threads.

36. what is one thing other people seem to hate that doesn't bother you?

i can't?? really think of anything?? idk. lmao.

37. how do you feel about tagging triggers? do you tag them? how do you determine what is triggering contend and what isn't?

i don't tag triggers. except for anything nsfw & negative. ( which, i tag just as nsfw & negativity tw. ) i cannot determine what all is triggering content and it makes me REALLY anxious to try.

38. what advice would you give to someone new to rp?

HAVE FUN. don't try and take it so seriously that you end up making yourself a ball of nerves. this is a hobby. you don't have to take it so seriously that it wrecks your nerves. take advice from others. and just... enjoy yourself. idk. lmao.

OKAY FINALLY LMAO. damn, that was kinda stressful. took FOREVER.

#⁂. ooc ask. / me @ me: damn. no offense; but you need a fuckin' therapist.#aurorheroed #WOW #that took FOREVER #but there #lmao #all 38 #icb that i didn't just delete your ask #rip me & my fingers

Oneshot: Platypus Onesies For All

@shit-sara-murphy-does, @thebrilliantbean, @colderthancoldest. As well as everyone else who put some some great tags to this post!

“Zonian4life is online now! Finally!” Candace exclaimed, sinking into a mound of pillows as she prepared to chat with one of her favorite Internet friends. She opened a private message box.

Canducky: Hello! What’s up 2day?

Zonian4life: Donating mom’s clothes. Said u had a platypus right?

Candace groaned at the reminder of the meatbrick. He wasn’t home at the moment, but he’d arrive soon and start shedding everywhere.

And shedding season was annoying. She was still finding blue hairs in the carpet at the foot of her bed from the last time he’d snuck in her room.

Canducky: Yes. Y????

Zonian4life: What do u think of this?

A picture popped up. Candace tapped it and zoomed in, raising an eyebrow at the existence of teal platypus onesies. It was a perfect likeness of Perry, right down to the vacant stare.

Canducky: OMG I can’t believe this exists....

Zonian4life: U likey?

Canducky: Short lived job at toy store and momming an egg kinda killed my interest for platypus suits.

Zonian4life: Oh too bad....

However, this thing was right up Phineas’ alley. He’d love being able to match Perry!

Candace couldn’t remember a time when she saw a perfect gift the moment she’d laid eyes on it. Phineas’ birthday was next week, and she had no intention of going through that whole last minute birthday thing with the left handed whatchamacallit again.

Canducky: But I think my bro would like it. His bday next week. Where 2 buy?

Zonian4life: Animal Warehouse. Got my Time Ape tee there too.

Canducky: Cool! Thank you so much!

Zonian4life: No prob. Gtg, fire on coffee table.

Canducky: kk!

Candace scrolled through the rest of the blog, giggling at the various memes Zonian4life had posted with her dog as the centerpiece. She made sure to send a few to Stacy, who would no doubt be annoyed at the meme spam and retaliate by photoshopping Candace and Jeremy’s faces into random pictures.

This time, she didn’t have to second guess herself.

Candace handed her gift to Phineas, the platypus pajamas neatly folded inside a box covered with platypus print wrapping paper (There was a high demand for everything platypi for some reason).

Phineas tore one corner, tugging to gently unravel it. Candace rolled her eyes. “It’s just wrapping paper. It’s designed to be torn up.”

He gave her a guilty grin. “You always put a lot of effort into your gifts, Candace. And Perry likes it too. I’ve never seen him so happy!”

Candace glanced down at Perry, whose vision was still as unfocused as ever. He didn’t move his tail or prance around so she couldn’t exactly tell what was ‘happy’ in platypus body language.

He unwrapped the box with only minimal tearing to the paper, tossing it aside. Then he opened it.

Candace snapped a photo on her phone the moment Phineas pulled the onesie out of the box. His face was frozen in a mixture of surprise and pent up excitement.

Ferb counted down from three on his fingers.

“This is the best birthday ever!” Phineas shouted. “We can match now, Perry! This is so cool!”

Isabella giggled. “Maybe I should get a chihuahua onesie so we’d match! What could possibly be cuter than a pair of pet owners dressing up as their loyal companions?”

“If that happened, I think Ferb and I would need an entirely new processing system for the cuteness trackers. We’d never be able to track anything if the signal from your interference alone would contain the same amount of raw wavelengths as the sun’s light energy,” Phineas replied.

Isabella relaxed, a serene expression crossing her face.

Baljeet waved his hand in front of her face. “She blanked on us!”

“Step aside, nerd,” Buford said, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt. He shoved Baljeet out of the way, then snapped his fingers in front of Isabella’s face.

Nothing happened.

Buford shrugged. “Well, I tried.”

Gretchen muttered something about ‘Phineasland’ and signaled the other Fireside Girls to grab a bucket of ice cold water.

Phineas hugged Candace, the platypus onesie hanging off a shoulder. “Thanks! You know me so well!”

She ruffled his hair. “What kind of sister would I be if I didn’t?”

They stayed that way for several moments, their parents ‘awwing’ at the display of sibling affection. Then Phineas broke away. “I’m gonna try these on. Be right back!”

He rushed inside the house, Perry padding in behind him.

Ferb stared at her.

“What?” Candace protested.

His gaze didn’t waver.

“Okay, fine. I’ll buy you one too. Happy?”

Ferb gave her a thumbs up.

Canducky: Operation Platypajamas a success!

Zonian4life: Little bros love onesies who knew?

Canducky: Awesome big sisters!

“Phineas and Ferb look really good in those onesies,” Vanessa said, swiping through Candace’s photos. “They look just platypi!”

Candace shrugged. “They look the part, but they can’t act it. Regular platypi don’t do much.” Vanessa frowned at that. “What? Ever met a platypus who does more than eat and sleep?”

Vanessa shook her head. “No, that’s silly. I’ll meet a platypus that does more than the basics as soon as my life isn’t one big soap opera.”

There was a knock on Vanessa’s door. “Vanessa! I made you and your friend some doonkleberry pie! I promise there isn’t a zombie apocalypse this time around!”

“Speaking of my life being one big soap opera,” Vanessa muttered. Candace giggled, which earned her a pillow to the face. “You hungry?”

“Sure. Bet it can’t beat my mom’s doonkleberry pie recipe though,” Candace said.

Vanessa opened the door a hair, then groaned. “Dad, why did you pick that apron of all things?”

“What, can’t a guy be hospitable to his guests?” Dr. Doofenshmirtz protested. “Besides, I happen to like this apron.”

“Can’t be any worse than my own dad’s Kiss the Brit apron he got at an antique show!” Candace called. “How bad can it-”

Vanessa let the door swing all the way open, and Candace flinched at the sight of the bright pink frilly apron. “See what I mean?” Vanessa asked.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz scowled as he set two slices of doonkleberry pie on a table. “Hey, you went through a pink phase too. I have pictures of that really poofy fairy princess lying around somewhere. I need to sort through those photos anyway. Maybe I can get into scrapbooking.”

Vanessa buried her face into a pillow. “See what I mean?”

Candace patted her back. “You did harp on him about the apron.”

“You joined me!” Vanessa protested. “I’m going to crawl under a rock. Alert me during the next nuclear meltdown.”

“Boy, you have a penchant for drama,” Candace said.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz laughed. “She gets it from me. Don’t give me that sour look, Vanessa. It’s true no matter how much you deny it. Wait, are those boys dressed in platypus onesies?”

Candace nodded. “My brother’s birthday was a few days ago. He was really happy to match Perry.”

He gasped. “You have a platypus named Perry?”

“Um, yes? I think he’s in one of these photos. Ah, here.” Candace showed him one that had Phineas and Ferb in their new onesies while hugging Perry. “Why? Have you seen him? I mean, he wanders off all the time so he’s bound to meet some people around town.”

He shook his head. “Must be thinking of a different platypus. The one I know doesn’t look that unfocused all the time. Strangely, his name is Perry too. Small world, right? Just out of curiosity, where did you get those onesies from?”

“Animal Warehouse,” Candace replied. “Had some really great stuff there! A friend recommended it to me.”

Vanessa’s eyes widened. “No. Oh my goodness, no.”

Dr. Doofenshmirtz seemed confused. “What? I was just thinking about going there sometime to see if they had one in my size.” There was a crash from outside. He groaned. “I’d better go see what damage Norm did to the wall this time. You’d think he’d learn to use the door properly after a while. Anyway, enjoy your pie!”

Vanessa shut the door behind him, tapping her foot as she glared at Candace. “Thanks,” she drawled.

Candace beamed at her. “You’re welcome!”

Canducky: My friend is mad that I inspired her dad to go buy a platypus onesie.

Zonian4life: Wow this onesie thing is snowballing.

Canducky: Ikr congrats we accidentally started a fashion trend!

Zonian4life: Next could we try to ‘accidentally start a fashion trend’ for Dr. Zone?

Canducky: Help me for starting one with Ducky Momo?

Zonian4life: Deal.

Phineas had a platypus onesie.

Ferb had a platypus onesie.

Heinz had a platypus onesie.

Candace didn’t have one, nor did she want one, but she inspired everyone to go purchase one so she still counted.

OWCA owned Animal Warehouse so they could appeal to animal loving consumers in order to use them as a host family later if they chose to adopt a pet.

Perry saved the pictures from the birthday party to his lair computer, looking through them one more time before heading home.

He really did have the greatest family and job in the world.

PYPcourse

We were considering not posting this. The "pee your pants" trend had seemed to die down. We didn't want to spark it back up again. But it seems to still be going, as we caught one in the tags today, unfortunately.

This is gonna be a long one, so hold on to your britches, and saddle up for the long ride of discussion of the pyp meme and why it's horrible and ableist – after the cut of course.

This is gonna be a long one, so hold on to your britches, and saddle up for the long ride – after the cut of course. PYP. “Pee your pants”. “Urinate in your trousers”. Whatever words you use, this is disgusting and ableist. Not only is it sexually degrading, and generally humiliating and embarrassing. It’s ableist towards people who have problems with continence – and there’s a LOT of those. We don’t know how many, because it’s seriously underdiagnosed, because it’s embarrassing and so people don’t talk to their doctors about it. But what we do know is that a LOT of people deal with it. Like, more female-bodied persons than not, especially if they’ve been pregnant, and especially as they get older – so PYPers are apparently OK with being sexist. People who’ve been sexually assaulted – PYPers are OK with harassing trauma survivors. People with mental and physical health issues – depression is a major one, though all the research on that goes basically: “There’s a strong correlation but which one causes which? IDFK.” Schizophrenia, and dissociative disorders, are two other major ones – anything that disconnects someone from their sense of their body can cause problems with control of their bodily functions. There’s also a strong correlation between incontinence and autism, though the reason for that isn’t quite known yet. Physical stuff includes, obviously, injury to the urinary system. Disorders that affect how the urinary system is formed and functions. Urinary tract stenosis – narrowing of the tract is a common, usually genetic, cause of continence issues. Connective tissue disorders, like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome – I know there are a few zebras in the system community! (shoutout @cambriancrew who wrote up the reply that I’m basing a lot of this on, making organizing all this much easier! This section was so much shorter before!) EDS makes you pretty stretchy, and not just your joints – it can affect your skin and internal organs too. And if your tissues just aren’t firm enough to hold things in, well, that’s a problem! (Apparently it can also cause stuff to prolapse, or literally fall out of your body. That is a google image search we do NOT want to ever repeat!) Spinal problems, particularly the closer you get to the tailbone, because a lot of the nerves that connect to your bladder run right through there. Injuries to it, obviously, and spinal stenosis, which is when the spine gets compressed and the space between and around the vertebrae shrinks. That puts a lot of pressure on the nerves there. Also, seizure disorders – accidents can happen when you have a seizure. Diabetes is another big one – higher blood sugars can cause more urine production, which in turn can cause Problems™. Chronic pain disorders can also contribute, as can chronic constipation and both forms of IBS. (And chronic pain can cause chronic constipation because most pain meds stronger than Tylenol have constipation as a side effect.) Straining to go, or just going a lot, can also screw up other muscles in that area. So. It’s a really big freaking problem that a lot of people have to deal with. Got that? Now. Here’s the offenders list, the people who need to know that this sort of harassment is Not Okay. (Not going to talk about any other problems by any party on these pages, JUST the PYP stuff. This post is hella long as it is. Practically a CVS receipt at this point.) Remember, people reading this, do NOT harass these folks! Be kind. If you can’t be kind, just say nothing. We’re trying to set an example for what this sort of discussion SHOULD be, with no harassment or insults or ableism or sexism or anything, just honest, polite, and respectful discourse. Last thing we want is to add more fuel to the fire, k? @endos-pee-your-pants http://web.archive.org/web/20170729052943/https://endos-pee-your-pants.tumblr.com It may be a meme, but that doesn’t make it any less ableist. 2 PYPS, plus the URL. @endosurinateinurtrousers http://web.archive.org/web/20170729042042/https://endosurinateinurtrousers.tumblr.com/ Oh look at that, three PYPs on that one page, not counting the URL. @peeyourrpants Just the URL there, so not too bad, I guess? Here’s a web archive of their page anyway. http://web.archive.org/web/20170729041703/https://peeyourrpants.tumblr.com/ And one more who followed that trend: @micturate-your-pants (No bonus points for using Micturate, this isn’t Scrabble.) http://web.archive.org/web/20170729053412/https://micturate-your-pants.tumblr.com/ Know what else this isn’t? @yourgrandmasboxofbranflakes http://web.archive.org/web/20170729053835/https://yourgrandmasboxofbranflakes.tumblr.com/post/162299257311/hey-endo-systems This system is young, and they seemed to have been having a bad day, and probably didn’t know any better, so let’s be especially kind to them, k? But no matter how old you are, it’s not okay to be ableist. We hope they, and all the others here, learn and don’t do that again.

And lastly, the one from today. @fedorablesei. http://archive.is/vnS44 Twice in the same post. These were just the ones we found and wanted to highlight. Friends of ours run @pypisableist where they are tracking and counting each use of this that they can. So they have a much more thorough listing of these. If you see any that neither they nor we listed, feel free to send either of us links so it can be tracked, and hopefully, finally put to rest.

First lines meme!

Tagged by @secretlystephaniebrown and.....maaaaybe someone else for this particular meme? There are so many variations I honestly can’t remember.

This is the one where you list the first lines from your past 20 stories and see if there are any trends. I’m doing both fanfic and original fic, in...honestly no particular order.

1. Carolina stares down at the Mahjong board for a long moment and dully flips over a tile at random before taking another swig of her beer. (since I’ve found serenity RvB, Firefly)

2. “First off, gentlemen, I’d like to thank the board for coming to today’s presentation. I know you have very full schedules, what with drinking so much wine and debating which cultural artifacts would sell for the most to private collectors—“ (this corner of a crumbling world RvB)

3. This is how it begins: (Universe Collision RvB)

4. Vanessa carefully balanced on the chair, hoping that today wouldn’t be the day it finally collapsed under the strain of a person standing on it. (tread our little arcs upon our star, RvB)

5. “Is it true that you tried using Wally for target practice?” (to take it slow, Young Justice)

6. Once there were some words running across a page. (the story that did not want to be told, original work)

7. Agent Washington usually tried not to be in the hanger when other missions got back, especially when the Director was standing around. (put your curse in reverse, RvB)

8. “I have a proposal for you.” (The Heart Lies in the Eyes RvB)

9. The name you are born into is Robert Neil Holt and when you are five years old you go to your parents and tell them it doesn’t fit. (made of starstuff (want it to mean something), Voltron)

10. The road to Eppinsaal was paved with dark blue stone cut centuries ago. (Chasing Moons, original novel rewrite)

11. Dr. Leonard Church has been waiting years to get clearance for this project. (Unit Cohesion, RvB)

12. When he wakes, it is dark. (The Days that Follow, Young Justice)

13. McCree strained to get a look at the door of the cell as he heard it slide open, swearing when the bindings proved too tight for him to turn fully. (words that it was forming, Overwatch)

14. “I still think this is a bad, bad, idea,” Tucker mutters, fumbling for the catches under the Freelancer’s helmet. (Strong at the Broken Places, RvB)

15. Dinah Lance has been Zatanna Zatara’s best friend for eleven years, her drinking buddy for eight, and her substitute assistant and tour companion for six. (empty your sadness, Young Justice)

16. Two truths and a lie, not necessarily in that order: (A Lie, RvB)

17. Father Koshek’s steps landed steadily on the temple floors, the thick stone walls shielding the interior until it was nearly as quiet and dark as the midnight outside. (unnamed original novel)

18. They almost made it out. (Almost, RvB)

19. “This is a bad plan.” (The Worst That Could Happen, RvB)

20. The Federal Army of Chorus hadn’t held actual funerals in years. (Died a Hero, RvB)

Okay so I guess that I like establishing setting+tone with the longer first lines? The shorter ones tend to be either dialogue or prompt-related. It’s hard to tell actual timeline with some of these, because some of them are from Ao3 that got bumped further up the list after being updated, but I think as I’ve gone along I’ve tried to really establish where the characters are and what they’re doing. i also really like starting with action.

I tag.....uhhhhhh....man, so many people I know have been tagged already and there are like three other first lines memes going around. So I’m gonna tag (no obligation) ... @thefreelancerdivision @gingerly-writing @eggletine @words-writ-in-starlight and...man, whoever wants to do it and claim me as a tagger. Have fun!

For the salty meme: ♒ | ✦ (as in other muses; not East Berlin) | ☀

Meme

♒ Thoughts on the fandom you're currently rping in?

Well, I still love this fandom enough to still be here five years later (though I think most of it is just that I want to keep writing with this character). But I kind of think the fandom needs to take a major chill pill. Maybe it’s the site in general though. I wonder if everyone here wouldn’t be so high strung if the tumblr environment wasn’t that way as well. You know what I mean, where everything is “bad” or “problematic” and you can be labeled as “toxic” just for thinking differently from the rest of the flock. I mean, I don’t morally agree with some things that people rp, but on the other hand, it’s not as though it’s being forced on people who don’t want it, so I just can not give a beaver’s dam about it. As long as people tag things appropriately, I really think that’s all that needs to be done (and I’ll quietly pray for their immortal souls ; ) ). Maybe it’s because I have real problems to deal with offline, so worrying about dumb little things here just seems like the sort of waste of time I only wish I could be privileged enough to do. Personally, I still wouldn’t mind setting up a betting ring for the monthly drama that happens here, but that might involve more paperwork than I really care for.

Ah, but I feel bad if I only say all those negative things (even though this is the “salty” meme). Despite the problems, I think this fandom is still pretty great. Hetalia certainly gets its fair share of critics, but we’re all still here, and even gaining some new members at times. I think there’s something to be said about that. And I’ve seen people create great muses and write fantastic stories, which is what keeps me in even now. I also think we’ve matured a little as a fandom (only a little though). And that’s not even getting into the amount of research people will do for their blogs. If something gets people into reading and researching, especially for things they won’t see covered much in school, then I have to give it some respect. And I think I’ll end the response for this one here before it gets too long. : )

✦ Thoughts on duplicates following you?

You say other muses and not East Berlins, but since this is the salty meme and I can do whatever the fuck I want, I’m gonna do both. ; )

So other muses first. I’m totally fine with it. In fact, I like it when I get to see other interpretations of muses, because it means I get to write different kinds of relationships and stories. It’s like 2 for the price of 1! Not really, but I just wanted to make that joke. Anyway, I will admit I’ll start to have some favorites at times. For example, and I think I’ve said this before so I see no sense in hiding it, your Germany is kind of my fave. And it’s him that I’ll base my more general headcanons on (i.e., those that aren’t tied down to a specific reaction or relationship). But, that doesn’t mean that I can’t build up strong relations and ideas with the other Germanies (Germanys? Germanyes? Deustchlands) that might come around. I don’t see a point in being “exclusive” to one person’s muse. What if they go on a long hiatus? Or what if someone else has a neat idea that only works with their muse, but you tied yourself down to this other one? I’m open to anyone who wants to rp with me and puts in some good effort into what they do (and if our tastes match well enough).

As for E. Berlins, well, it would be nice if even another Berlin existed. ;n; But I would be cool with other E. Berlins following me, so long as it was clear they weren’t trying to copy me. I’d likely give them the benefit of the doubt, of course, unless it was super obvious. After all, if both characters are based on the same history, then there are bound to be some similarities. It could provide some interesting rps, depending on how they design their character. Unfortunately, the one time someone else made an E. Berlin, their character was kind of the standard “Always hated the oppressive government and fought against it” thing. I guess if someone did something like that again, we could rp Lily throwing them in jail. XD But I would personally love another E. Berlin who shares the ideology and then they could have political discussions or talk about trying to survive at the end of the Cold War or something.

☀ What's your rp pet peeve?

I’m gonna give you two because I can’t decide (and I don’t think anyone else is going to send me the meme). Also, one is a format choice and the other is a writing one, so they kind of cover two different areas.

1. Tiny font. Tiny. Font. TINY FUCKING FONT. I am very near sighted. I need glasses for almost everything. I also know I’m not the only one here who’s like that. So why do people continue to insist on shrinking the font size to the point that I would either need to hold the screen up to my face to see (which I’m sure is probably not good for you) or zoom in (which then cuts off the rest of the page which I might need)? If I ever find out who first decided to make this thing a trend, I will personally hunt them down, tie them up, lay them on their back and then make them stare up at a magnifying glass that’s in front of the sun until their eyes burn like the ants this font choice is made for. Seriously, the fonts shouldn’t go below 10, in general, and even that can be pushing it for some of them.

2. When people don’t give me responses I can really do anything with. This doesn’t happen that often, but when it does, it really bothers me. What I mean by this is that their character doesn’t really do much, doesn’t say something that could have a response, or just doesn’t react that much, and then I feel like I need to carry us both up the hill to try to get anything in motion. Let’s say this happened, for example:

“'Excuse me. Can you tell me where the nearest bus stop for the 7 is?’ Sally asked.

‘Yes. It’s just over on that next corner,’ said Lily, pointing across the street.

‘Oh okay. Thanks.’”

What am I supposed to do at that point? In a natural setting, the characters would stop interacting. Lily would continue on her business unless we had planned something that makes her follow Sally (in which case, this problem probably wouldn’t happen). I don’t want to drop rps that much, and I try my hardest to put in effort to keep them alive and give people a chance. But I also don’t want to force my character to be too ooc suddenly because the other writer couldn’t put five more minutes into making the interaction make sense. For example, Sally could ask for the time of the bus and which direction the one for that stop went to and then ask more questions based on the answers. Or if you really want to get my interest, make her say or do something suspicious, which would get Lily’s attention and make her want to tail Sally to see if she’s up to something. But unless this plot is the One Ring of plots, I don’t want to be someone’s Samwise Gamgee and hike us both up the mountain when they could just try putting in a little more effort.

#mephistosfaust #meme #ooc meme #Is it ironic or a coincidence that I answered the first question as drama was starting up again?#also I didn't think I had that much salt in me XD #guess it builds up when you don't let it out enough
