• sfw (mentions of sex in kaiser's but nothing too explicit)
• notes: this is my first time writing for kaiser.. hope this is okay ( • ᴖ • ｡)
. ˚ ｡⋆ michael kaiser
it wasn't easy being the girlfriend of the michael kaiser. before he met you, it was known that he'd go off with any girl. he was a player and he had no means of changing that, until he met you.
of course, he didn't change immediately upon meeting you. you and him had your hook up and he went the rest of his week like he normally would. that was until he found out that you, who just so happened to move into town, were a very close friend of one of his teammates.
kaiser had acted nonchalant about the whole situation, pretending that he was just meeting you for the first time, like he wasn't balls deep inside of you just earlier that week. but on the inside, his mind was going rampant with thoughts of you and the night you and him had spent together.
after a while, kaiser finally got ahold of himself and did the unthinkable. he asked you out.
the whole thing went well and in the blink of an eye, you had been the most important part of his life for three years now.
you and him had your ups and downs but for the most part, neither you or him had ever been happier than with each other. though, his history of hooking up with various girls seemed to get to you more often than not. you knew that it was over now and he was loyal to you, but it was a hard thing to forget.
"are you alright, my love..?" michael was pressed up against your side, once again forgetting what personal space was.
a soft hum came from you as well as a small nod. immediately, your boyfriend knew that there was something else that you were hiding. it was a common occurrence and yet he still didn't know exactly what was wrong at moments like this.
"you sure?" he pressed closer into you, making you squirm.
"stop it, micha.." a soft giggle fell passed your lips and kaiser smiled gently at you. "you don't like me anymore then?" his eyes met yours and you immediately looked away with a dramatized sigh. "uh huh.. I absolutely hate you. glad you figured it out"
instead of acting as he usually did and continuing the drama routine, kaiser gently turned your head to face him once more and pressed a kiss to your forehead. "i wish you'd be honest and tell me what was wrong.."
your eyes met the faint scarred mark on his neck from one of his previous hookups rather than his eyes. the sight made you swallow roughly, now finding it hard to make eye contact with him now that you were thinking about your boyfriends past once again. sometimes, you'd even convince yourself that he wasn't serious about the relationship. like you were just a toy to him like those other girls were on the nights he decided he wanted them.
kaiser noticed the way your eyes flickered towards his neck, and it finally clicked.
"my love.." he once again brought your face towards his own, kissing your soft lips this time while his hand gently ran up and down your arm in hopes of soothing you. "they mean nothing to me, okay..?"
waiting for you to nod, kaiser brought you in for another kiss. "you mean everything to me, darling. three years of my life have been filled with you and I could've never been happier with that fact.."
"i love you."
the two of you spoke at the same time, making your eyes meet in surprise, the both of you finding absolute love and admiration in the gaze you held towards each other.
"i love you a lot.." you whispered and wrapped your arms around kaiser's neck to pull him into a deep kiss, trailing your kisses down until they reached that scar on his neck to replace it with a mark of your own.
. ˚ ｡⋆ itoshi sae
"are you gonna come eat?"
you jumped at the sound of your boyfriend talking to you, quickly slamming your phone down on the desk before turning around to smile awkwardly at him. "uh huh.. just give me a second"
sae eyed you suspiciously, sighing and crossing his arms as he leaned against the doorway.
"you're hiding something" he said simply, the usual blank face returning. "what is it?"
with a shake of your head and a slight shrug, sae grew visibly annoyed, stalking over to you and holding out his hand as if he was expecting something from you. "what.." your eyebrows pinched together in confusion. "give me your phone" sae's gaze was stern as well as his intimidating tone.
a sigh fell passed your lips as you hesitated, meeting his eyes once more which made you give in and hand sae your phone. you watched his reactions as he looked at what you were looking at, though you were disappointed with the lack of reaction he gave you. it was hard to tell if he was mad because you were stressing about something he had already assured you about.
"didn't i already tell you not to trouble yourself over dumb shit like this?" his eyebrow was raised as he gazed down at you, not yet handing your phone back to you as he began scrolling.
a soft sniffle sounded from you as you gently wiped the bridge of your nose, gulping the suffocating feeling in your throat. "yeah.. sorry.."
sae sighed softly, placing your phone back down on the desk. he looked at your for a few seconds, noticing how you were beginning to tear up. it wasn't a secret to sae that you were sensitive and he was careful with that fact. he was almost annoyed with himself for being the cause of upsetting you.
"im not mad.." another sigh came from your boyfriend. still, you refused to look at him again, feeling embarrassed that he had to tell you to stop overthinking again.
you knew that his last relationship was apparently a pr thing. sae had been getting articles written about him for his poor attitude and his manager had thought a pretty girlfriend and public outings would fix that. of course, it worked. though, the girl got a lot of hate from fans of sae, saying she was a distraction or she didn't deserve to be with him.
and when sae began dating you nearly a year later, this time because he actually wanted to be dating someone, he kept you hidden from prying eyes.
it was easy for sae to have a private relationship and you enjoyed yours and sae's quiet and intimate relationship together. no one knew that sae was gentle with you, unlike how he was with everyone else. but that was also the issue. it was hard to be a secret when his last relationship was so public and there were so many pictures of them being all over each other, though sae claimed he hated it, said it made him uncomfortable.
"we shouldn't have to have a public relationship for you to believe that i love you," sae spoke, pinching the brim of his nose. "i know you love me.." you looked up at him, sniffling softly. "its just hard when other people are claiming that you don't because you don't want to be public with me.."
with another deep sigh, you were pulled into sae's arms, your cheek pressed into the warmth of sae's chest. "i just want to protect you. is that so hard to believe?"
you gently shook your head no, wiping the few tears that slipped passed your waterline. "its because i love you, you know" a careful hand moved to card through your hair, soothing you even more with your boyfriends rhythmic heartbeat that slightly sped up when you wrapped your arms around his torso.
"love you, too.." you whispered, moving your head to look up at sae, who pressed a sweet kiss to your forehead.
"yeah, i know you do, crybaby.." sae grumbled with a slight roll of his eyes, annoyed that you so easily got him to show you his sweet and gentle side. but it made you feel at ease knowing that side was reserved for you and you only.

from the prompt list: this is you thinking rationally?
a/n: this request is seriously 100 years old
"Eddie Munson, what have you done?"
"Is this anyway to treat the knight defending your honour?"
Eddie's eye was swollen, bruised with a cut over his eyebrow, and another bruise on the same side of his face along his jaw. He was fine, looked worse than it felt. And really, he had won the fight, so he didn't care at all about a few temporary bruises.
You huffed, tilting Eddie's chin with your thumb to look at the damage. He was right, it was all surface level scrapes, but you hated the idea of him fighting, with one of the jocks no less.
You let go of his chin, and shuffled over to the window in the kitchen. Usually, the trailer brought you an odd sense of comfort, but today Eddie was trampling all over that by bringing this situation home with him. Or maybe it had nothing to do with the trailer, and more about the fact you couldn't stand it if anything had happened to him. You wouldn't forgive yourself for putting him in that situation.
A drama filled conclusion to a drama filled week. There was this guy, on the basketball team, his name is Jackson, and you two had gone on one date. It went horribly, and you didn't even kiss him goodnight. You said something along of the lines of, "yeah, maybe not though?" when he asked for a second date.
The next day, the whole school was talking about how you had put out before dinner. It was annoying, and it hurt your feelings. But you didn't really care, only the idiots at school believed him, and like your best friend Eddie - you didn't get bothered by a words from a bunch of jackasses.
"So you spray painted that message on the water tower, then?"
"Did you ever think it wasn't me?" he asked, playful sparkle in his eye.
Someone had spray painted 'Jackson Evans is a virgin'. And while you'd also suspected it was Eddie, there was never a chance to bring it up, he was an expert at dodging your questions.
"Eddie! What you were thinking?" you huffed again, crossing your arms. "You've could've been arrested. those guys could've really hurt you."
"Oh please," he sighed, waving you off. "I was thinking that those guys shouldn't just be able to get away with whatever they want. I was perfectly calm, level headed and just trying to explain to them that there are consequences, and then they got totally irrational when they realize I was the artiste," he used a faux french accent, "that tarnished Jack's great name."
"They were the irrational ones!?" you asked, raising your voice, "you pick a fight with the entire basketball team, and that's, what? That's you thinking rationally?"
Eddie raised his eyebrows. Honestly, he thought you would laugh with him about all this, he wasn't really expecting the third degree.
"Oh, let me get one thing straight," he said, losing his patience, "my thinking was crystal clear." He took a long stride towards you, "I was thinking that those dickheads don't even get to think about you like that. I was thinking that you aren't the butt of their fucking jokes. I was thinking that you deserve to be defended!"
He looked down at you, calming down from his brief outburst. You didn't say anything, just watched him, watched as his features softened, and his eyes dripped with vulnerability.
"You deserve everything," he whispered, waiting for any sign of hesitation as he got closer, both of your hearts racing at the sheer intimacy of his words and proximity. "Is this okay?" he asked, tucking a piece of here behind your ear, his voice barely audible and wispy, like he was scared of what the answer may be. You nodded. "I just didn't think they deserved your indifference to it all - you're too good from them, for all of them."
And you took the next step, closing the small gap between the two of you, crossing that devilish line of just friends, turning to lovers. He wrapped his arms around you, surprise and delighted, reveling in the moment he's been waiting for for years. He's been waiting for his moment, and this was it. A chance to be with the person he loves, who luckily happens to love him back.
<3

hey can you verify any of the claims against viv here?
I know what you're referring to, since you reblogged one of my posts with that "information". Which, btw, pls do not do that again. I'd rather not have that toxic crap attached to any of my posts.
The thing you sent was talking about Erin Frost and I've spoken extensively about her. Unfortunately, Erin's Twitter no longer exists and some of my posts are no longer accessible. So, I'm just trying to get what I can. I'll leave links to posts in no particular order:
Erin calling herself mentally unstable: 1, 2
Erin outting others who did not want to be in Vivzie drama (images and links): 1, 2, and image:
Erin getting upset over Sallie being trans. She also was disgusted that Sallie was being "sexualized", even though Morgana works on OF (correct me if I'm wrong) and have done sexual cosplay. Plus, she had a hand in designing Sallie May: Link
Erin getting upset at being overworked, despite being reprimanded for taking on work and causing delays:
Excerpt from a deleted tweet from Erin,
She also talked to Adam Neylan about leaving Spindle and spoke positively. So, it wasn't like she was fired:
Vivzie wasn't blacklisting people nor not allowing them to work anywhere else:
(My reply could've been better, I admit)
I wish I could give more info, but like I said, a lot of it is scattered or erased at this point. Hopefully, this gives a better idea, however, about the whole situation. Plus, my eyes were getting tired from squinting and scanning

Chapter 233 Analysis
So don't worry I'm still alive. Life decided to just kick my ass and could actually get this done but doing it now!
So just to make this clear at the start, i don't inherently dislike stories of women using their sexuality to their advantage. Ie the sexy assassin type stories, I've said it before but I was a sex worker and that very much does effect the way I look at and analysis media.
Though stories like that often run a very thin line between just sexism and sexualization. I think the main way to tell the difference is the reason why the the person is using their sexuality is such a way. In lore olympus with hera.. it's a story about women using their sexuality as a form of power.. it's women being sexually abused to hopefully save themselves from more pain.
Hera has no power in this situation, and it's not an empowering story because it's just about a women being forced to let herself be raped and lastly rs just doesn't give the time and energy to actually respect the sexual assault of hera. It shows terribly in this chapter.
This episode starts.. alright. I don't fully mind hera being haunted by kronos, it's honestly sort of terrifying. The problem is that we aren't given enough time to actually sit and grow with this, Rs just can't spend the time she's given well enough to put it towards this event.
One of the first things we learn after the kronos fight is that he wants hera... it takes us another like 17 or so episodes to learn that kronos the main villain is fucking hunting hera. This is such a big and important event that just gets ignore and rushed in one chapter. We see her struggling with this, we even in like one panel how it is actively effecting her others relationships.. but we only get one panel. Like you can imagine a scene where hera gets uncharacteristically angry at echo and we aren't even a reason why till we get like a shot with kronos in a reflection with hera. There are ways this could've been set up and made it so much more impactful but then it's just ignored till it's needed.
Also again rs just has so many great points to make interesting drama that she just ignores... like the whole missing ten years thing is barely brought up. Most people just continue as normal. This line is a fucking insult cause like.. besides one panel of them hugging WE HAVEN'T SEEN HERA WITH HER DAUGHTER. like holy shit all this time could have been spent so much better.
Now I honestly don't think the child has been even mentioned since it was told to hera.. also having hera being the only one mentioning the child.. and when she is she's being literally raped... really makes persephone and hades look even worse. Also again.. this chapter didn't have a trigger warning.. and it really fucking should.
now I don't fully dislike this plot point... like the idea of it.. same way I don't dislike the idea of persephone sexual assault. My problem with it isn't the fact that sexual assault happened.. it's how it's dealt with. We have this dramatic build up and while it's not explicitly stated it's pretty clear that hera was just fucking raped.
now instead of giving this really upsetting and serious plot point time to breath.. rs decides to immediately go to a cut away joke? about how haha persephone and hades are engaged and dumb drama with that. It's just such a tonal shock that just fundamentally doesn't work. Rs you literally couldn't done the exact same thing you did with persephone rape. Give a few quite panels of reflection and just... let a chapter go by without Perspehone and Hades.
We barely even see heras own reaction to what happened to her.. the literal rape that just fucking happened is basically completely ignored for the rest of the chapter. We don't have a few panel of someone asking hera why she wasn't answering the phone. No one acknowledges what happened and instead it's time for dumb Hades and Persephone.
This chapter, which is mainly about hera being sexually and emotionally abused... ends on the happy note where the main characters are going to get married. It's just... feels so disrespectful. Rs you could make this chapter like 80% better by just removing all the stuff with the marriage and instead just having a few panels of hera actually being effected by her rape.
Now I've taked about how the whole rushing into marriage with Hades and Persephone is bad.. but it really shows the most in this chapter. A chapter that regardless if you are a fan or critic should objectively be focused solely on the rape of hera... instead is just made so much worse by adding this... It's been what.. an hour maybe two at most since hera was literally sexually assaulted and she's just completely fine and shows no effects of it.
Like it's so clear the bias towards hades and persephone that rs has.. literally every single story outside of theirs suffers because of them. Why are you making stories that and obviously more important then them getting married if you want the focus on them being married. Kronos should have just been fully defeated.. adding all this other shit just makes them look like terrible people and makes it clear that they don't actual care.
Despite season 3 not being finished yet... I'm pretty sure this is going to be by far the worse chapter.. just because rs decided that a rape should happen right before the main characters getting married.

I JUST KNEW FT. LEE HAECHAN
It's been awhile. I hv no idea why the work just keeps piling up but yeah...updates will now unfortunately be slower than it was before but don't worry! I will continue posting as much as I can.
So let's go forward with this fic!
°°° - This signifies the characters flashback
Genre: Dad au, family au, romance, fluff, crack.
Pairings: Haechan x Miyuki
Warnings: None
I just knew.
It was like the universe had already planned Us.
Me and Miyuki had been friends ever since she moved to my neighbourhood from Tokyo. At first I was skeptical to converse with her since her Korean wasn't too strong, she was Japanese of course. But as time went on, small talks turned into us hanging out at each others houses till it was dark. We were inseparable, still are. I always knew that I wanted to marry her but what strengthened my desire more was a situation we were in during our second year of high school.
I was a naughty and curious kid growing up, but I was an even more rebellious teen. Picking fights with people stronger than me, sleeping during class, staying back for detention and visiting the Principal's office way too much for my own liking. It was Summer and we had just two days before the summer holidays began, I bitched about Kim Yena Queen Bee of my high school. Not only was she the most popular girl on campus, she was the beloved girlfriend of the King of Kwangya high Park Jaesun.
He was...well...terrifying and he was even more terrifying when anyone even so looked at his Queen a different way. Yena was his queen and I bitched about her...well technically that whole drama could've been avoided if only she had steered clear of my girl, Miyuki. Not that we were dating at that time, but Miyuki was my best friend wayyy before we fell in love and had tiny munchkins of our own so when she told me that Yena verbally and physically abused her I bitched her like no one ever bitched before.
Then word got out and I became the school's most wanted student. Jaesun's minions were on my tail every single day until that faithful day, two days before our Summer holidays began. He had me surrounded on all sides and beat me up like there was no tomorrow until an angel came and saved me with pepper spray.
°°°
"Yah!" I opened my eyes slightly at sound of a familiar voice.
"What? Go about your business little girl." Jaesun said before kicking my stomach making me let out a cry.
"Yah! Let him go you bully!" Miyuki exclaimed as I gasped out for air.
"Miyuki, stay o-out of this!" I exclaimed making Yena laugh.
"Ohh, so he's your knight in shining armour." she said making Miyuki gulp as she pushed Yena to the ground harshly and made her way towards me making me curse.
"Bitch, run!" I exclaimed.
"Yah! How dare you push Yena?!" Jaesun exclaimed and walked towards Miyuki.
"You listen! I've had enough of bullies like you guys! No one gets to beat up my best friend except me!" she exclaimed and quickly took out something from her bag and sprayed it on Jaesun's eyes.
"Arghhh!! My eyes!" he said and fell to the ground.
"You bitch-" she cut Yena off by spraying what looks like pepper spray on her eyes as well.
"Come on!" Miyuki quickly helped me up and began running.
>><<
"Pepper...spray." I said exasperatedly as she caught her breath.
"I didn't know what else to do..." she said as I sat down on the floor of her bedroom.
"You could've gotten hurt." I said worriedly as she smiled.
"And leave you to become dead meat? No way...you're far too important to me." she said and gasped after realising what she said, going completely red after.
"Ahh so I'm that special?" I teased as she hit my arm lightly.
"Of course you are..." she said as I looked at her quietly with a loving gaze.
"You...y-you're important to me too...I wouldn't have gotten those beatings if you weren't important to me..."
°°°
And everything after that was history.
That day I realised that she was the one for me and I was gonna marry her. And five years of dating later we got married and we now have two beautiful angels together. Life just couldn't get any better than this. Looking back, I now know the answer to the question a lot of people asked me over the years after finding out that we're childhood best friends and high school sweethearts.
How did you know that she was the one?
The answer is that...I just knew.
"Dadd!!" I was brought out of my trance when Chaerin suddenly exclaimed.
"Yes, baby?" I ask with a smile as I pick her up into my arms.
"Mommy's calling!" she blurted out making me laugh.
"Ohh, is she? Come on, let's go to mommy then!" I say happily as I marched over to the dining room to see her and Chaerin.
"Doesn't this arrangement look beautiful?!" she chirped happily and showed me the flower arrangements done by her and Chaerin making me smile as I placed a kiss on her cheek.
"It's gorgeous love, just like you." I said as she hit me playfully.
"Daddy! Do you like it?! I helped mommy do it!" she said as I cooed at her and kissed her forehead.
"Chaein, do you like it?" she asked our youngest while placing a little flower in her hair.
"Yes!" she exclaimed making us smile as we sat in the dining room, talking for the rest of the day.
That's the end of this fic! It kinda turned out crappy at the end as I ran out of ideas but I hope y'all liked it anyways.
Reblogs and likes are appreciated 🌠✨

Have you seen the drama between hybe and the ceo of ador? Any thoughts?
I have two conspiracy theories currently. First, I wonder if she is the one behind the leak of JKs apartment video 🤔 mainly because it has been said that she and other executives allegedly leaked artists personal information and used it to create negative media play. JK was NJ biggest competition last year. If it wasn't for his short tracking time he would've beat NJ in the end of year award categories, and after reading Adors statement they clearly don't like competition since all of this is allegedly because the new girl group illit is copying NJ. I also wonder if she could've been behind all the issues layover faced last year, but I don't feel too strongly about this because of my theory #2
Theory #2. What if she has been planning to convince Tae to come with her once she buys out ador. She worked with him on layover, NJ seems to often promote his work, and they visited Tae at the military base recently too 🧐 I know Tae re-signed with bighit but seeing how many kpop idols have been leaving their companies lately to have someone else handle their solo careers makes me wonder if this could be the case for Tae.
Hi anon!
My my.. it really is a whole situation right! I’m quite curious to see how things play out. What it looks like to me is that maybe Min Hee-jin is morally right, but legally either wrong or failing. I can understand her (and the whole of Ador, since that’s what it looks like) wanting to leave Hybe. I can also understand Hybe not wanting that. Things like this are always way more complicated behind the scenes than we are made aware of though. Any statements made by both sides are carefully constructed and try to paint a picture that’s in their best interest. So I have no clue what’s the actual story right now, I fear Min Hee-Jin is going to pull the short end of the stick here.
Though I do think that footage of Jk was published to harm him, I am careful to point to an actual source. There’s many who would benefit from him getting bad publicity and there’s many who just want him to do badly without having a reason beyond personal hate. Is it possible this cane from Ador? Sure, do we have anything actually pointing to that.. no. Members have been working with New Jeans through TikTok vids, Min Hee-Jin worked closely with Tae.. so I’m not really suspecting it was her doing. Though the entertainment business in general is a shitty one and not much would surprise me.
I think Tae’s cooperation with her was partly due to the connection with Hybe and partly due to him liking her ideas. It’s possible he was/is interested in signing with them. I’m not sure how much room he has to sign with anyone other than BH though. Again, contract stuff is complicated and it’s often only in hindsight that we are able to make anything out of it.

Listen I told my self that I wasn't going to get invested enough in Person of Interest to talk about here but here I am anyway. It was chugging along being a good background show with Some really fun, if a little trope-y, cop characters and watching Harold Finch and John Reese act kinda gay and stop crime. I'm a big Amy Acker fan ( that's actually why I even started the show) so I wasn't upset about the shift in focus towards Root and Shaw a little bit as I entered season 3.
The problem I have actually run into is fucking season 3 episode 9: The Crossing. It just made me angry at a show's choices in a way I haven't felt in a while - please note I haven't watched past that episode as of writing this but I will eventually do so.
An the assumption that she really is dead( that looked pretty fucking fatal) I will miss Joss Carter a lot but that's not necessarily what made me angry. It seemed to me that the writers knew that the actor wanted out of the show from the start of the season as the whole season 3 arc was a seemingly slow moving suicide. It wasn't poorly written but it was obvious that this was a different type of Joss Carter than season 1 & 2.
No my problem wasn't necessarily her death. It's the "romantic" declarations of the episode. Now before you look back at the start of this and post and think I'm just mad because it wasn't my very unlikely to ever be a cannon ship that got confirmed, well you're only partially right.
Yes I'm a Rinch shipper( if follow my blog at all you've probably put together that I often root if the queer ships) but I genuinely would have been fine resigning myself to fanfiction while they get hopelessly paired up with some unsuspecting women. I understand that's how crime drama TV operates. And you know I actually like John and Zoe as a ship, if they were developed a bit more I think they could've been a lot of fun.
My problem is not that the whole you "saved me from commiting suicide" speech John gives Carter is equally, if not more, applicable to his relationship with Finch. Well, okay my problem is not only that. My problem is where was any of the romantic build up between Carter and John, like literally anything? They work great as narrative foils when Carter was still on the "the law is the only law" train. And they work great as friends as Carter steps more into the "some minor crime for the greater good is okay" camp. But not once did I think " oh these two are about to fall in love". Not even when Shaw asked about it earlier in season 3 did I think the show was going to actually pair them up like this. Now I hear you when you say that there are examples of characters with less chemistry have become couples. It's just, I'm not sure what the narrative gain is here. They had to know they were killing off Carter that same episode and this "revelation" doesn't add anything to the character. If anything it doesn't make sense with the revenge for Cal Becher (Beacher? Beecher?- You know who I'm talking about) angle that the writers have been using all season. And if it's about furthering John's character that's just dumb. I wouldn't consider it fridgeing as I'm pretty sure this is an actor who wants an out of contract situation(feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), but that doesn't excuse it as a narrative choice. John unequivocally cares about Carter and would be upset about her death regardless or romantic inclinations, as would Lionel and Finch. They already have an in on the revenge story line (which is where I assume they are going with this). Why bother with the romance especially when John already has the lost love story in his background. Like what Jessica isn't enough of a dead romance they needed to shoe in Joss as well.
Anyway I also wish this was like a mid season finale not episode like 9. Like bro why are you putting away one of your biggest villains so far and this is only a third of the way in the season.
And I wish that Lionel wasn't just suddenly back in the plot, like I know you have a bigger cast now and I m glad he's here but build the guy up a little bit better please.
I also think the Root in a cage thing is a little weird like I know all of these people are chugging the " the ends justify the means" juice but it still seems like there are other options Finch would choose. ( that being said Root and Finch's conversation about the machine somehow come off like " I had sex with your daughter, and I don't care if you know” which was hilarious to me)
Anyway sorry for the rant thanks for listening and I do hope the show gets back into a groove.
#Tldr: R.I.P Joss Carter; I would you stayed the cop propaganda you were meant to be#instead of dying mid a shoe in romance plot.#person of interest#POI#person of interest season 3#person of interest spoilers#Harold Finch#john reese#Joss Carter#lionel fusco#Root#sameen shaw#zoe morgan#rinch#anti joss x john

Order of Attack, part 9
"A Withering Flame"
Finally, I've written Fuuta's voice drama. And revised it. And revised it again. And used the mega shears on the dialogue because Fuuta can't use long sentences.
What a monster of a chapter. I deserve a break. Next up is a shorter one-shot.
Trigger warnings for suicidal thoughts. Haruka's situation is also briefly mentioned. There's also something about Fuuta repeatedly stopping Es from getting Shidou.
(Courtesy link to the fic; will update at some point)
----
Es entered the cell and took in the layout. Fuuta was propped up in a hospital bed, his neck and torso securely braced and his left arm in a sling. He was kneading a Jackalope stress toy with his right hand, digging his nails into it. More stress toys stood on the table to his right, and Es almost tripped on one a few feet ahead. As Fuuta saw Es approaching, he dropped what he was holding and swatted the rest out of his reach.
"Been a… while, Warden," Fuuta said. Es was expecting more malice in his tone, but he sounded like his life force was draining.
"Fuuta… you…" They pulled a chair to the side of the table and took a seat. "Are you okay?"
"…look like it?" Fuuta responded. If he was angry, his voice did a terrible job of showing it.
Es didn't know how to respond. Do I look like it? was obviously a rhetorical question, but they needed to show some tact.
After a moment, Fuuta spoke up again. "…look awful… don't I?"
Still unsure of what to say, Es nodded slightly.
"Could've been worse. Could've died."
Es stared down, pondering their next words. Several seconds passed, and then Fuuta's voice registered in their head again.
"Oi… talking to you." Fuuta's irritated glare met Es as they lifted their head.
"I'm sorry," they said, "I'm… I'm not sure what I can say."
"Don't know what to say? I almost died because of… you don't know… Even so, it's a miracle I … If Shidou had taken any longer, would've been over for me. Don't blame him, though. …Oi, say something."
"Sor-"
"Sorry won't cut it." Fuuta sounded more pained than angry.
Es took a breath. "…Kotoko did this to you?"
"No sh… agh…" Fuuta gasped for air.
"Fuuta!" Es got up and walked to his side. "I'll go get Shidou-"
"Don't!" Fuuta's eyes betrayed his desperation. After they locked eyes for a few moments, Fuuta let out a chuckle. "Look … you … down on me, like always. Must be so happy to see…"
"I- no, I'm not. I didn't mean for this to happen. I didn't think Kotoko would-"
"Beat me to near-death? What'd you expect … you affirmed her…"
"I…"
"…thought she wouldn’t have … same crime here in… Oi, quit standing… staring…"
"I’m sorry, I didn't think-"
"Useless… apology…"
But what else could Es do besides apologize? Stand their ground and contradict Fuuta while he was in that pitiful state?
"Really didn't think it'd… turn out… Me too. All I did… call some bad person out… say what's wrong was wrong… Their reasons were b-" Fuuta gasped and clutched his chest. Es began to turn towards the door, but Fuuta grabbed their cape with his right hand.
Es swatted his hand away. "Hey, you can't just grab me like that."
"Don't dare…"
"Fine, I won't get Shidou. Yet." Es stood in place and waited for Fuuta to regain his voice.
"You judged me… said I was unforgivable… without the whole story… How's that any different?"
"Excuse me?"
"That's so hypo- khh!" Fuuta slammed his hand on the table, trying to play it off as an emphasis, but that didn't mask his pain.
"Careful, Fuuta! You'll hurt-" Es gave up on that concern when Fuuta glared. "Someone died because of you. You're saying I'm the same?"
"I didn't think they'd die!"
"But you knew people would dogpile them."
"I wasn't acting alone. Anyone else… out of my control… Why'd you pick me…"
"Milgram has judged-"
"Milgram doesn't make any f-"
Maybe Es should have put their foot down and called Shidou regardless of Fuuta's wishes. But something compelled them to hear him out. "Don't push yourself."
Fuuta was clearly annoyed, but he took a breath and continued. "Still don't see it? We're just the same!"
"Me? The same as you?" Es couldn't deny Fuuta's point. They both made their judgments without thinking that someone could be seriously hurt—or dead.
"I'll tell you. They were just in middle school. Maybe closer to Amane… than you…"
"Amane…" Es already knew this from what they gleaned from Fuuta's first video, but it didn't register how close in age their victims were. Wait, why were they thinking of Amane as a victim? "Amane… huh… I noticed you two have been spending a lot of time together lately."
"You kidding? Don't change the subject... You don't talk about her like… Only one who cared before everything went to hell. You made her go through it. Decided she wasn't forgivable… painted a target… She could've died too! Then we'd be exactly…"
"Don't put me on the same level as you."
"Are you not-"
"I'm just doing my job. Nobody told you to go online and decide who are bad people and harass them. You made a game out of judgment. This is what I'm supposed to do."
Fuuta laughed at Es for still failing to acknowledge their similarities. Then he winced in pain. Then he kept laughing and mocking Es for taking their job seriously. Es snapped back. A pointless, cyclical conversation. Fuuta stopped Es from calling Shidou no less than three times.
Eventually, the bell brought the conversation to a halt.
Silence.
Why was Fuuta so quiet?
"Hey… Fuuta?" Es leaned over to get a better look at his face. His eyes seemed glassy, and he seemed to be breathing more slowly. "Fuuta… I'll go get-"
"Don't. Not worth…"
"Worth what?"
"If you're not going to… forgive… what's the point… living?"
"Don't say-"
"Everything hurts so much. Painkillers don't help… Strange wonder I survived. Is it really worth it?"
"Worth it…" What could Es even say about that? Anything they could think of was either more unwanted pity or…
A cold accusation that Fuuta was bargaining his life for forgiveness. Es's thoughts flitted back to Haruka's interrogation- no, that comparison was unfair. Haruka's loaded intentions were worlds away from Fuuta's resignation. How could Es dare…
"I understand… this job requires resolve…"
"Resolve? You really have resolve… just kill me. With your own two hands. Don't hide behind the rules."
"I can't do that. I can't sink to the prisoners' level. It's my job as the warden to make a fair judgement. I… I have to judge each and every one of you… no matter how much they plead, cry, or bargain… even if they are dying right in front of me."
"What is even the point? You give a damn about my life, forgive me! If not, kill me… get it over with."
"Bargaining tactics won't work with me."
"Not like I care. Or… if I get out of this alive, I'll… kill… you…"
"Fine by me. If we truly are the same, then I'll have had it coming. Now, Prisoner no. 3, Fuuta, sing your sins."

msg and the end of the road
so many feelings, most of them mixed.
i love the thottest (not hottest) band in the world. i love the drama, the goofiness, the tragedy, the sheer unbridled capitalism, the homoeroticism, the utter stupidity. and i love most of all a version of the band that hasn't existed since i was ten years old.
i'm thirty-four.
i don't usually blog too much about my kiss experiences for a lot of reasons, one being that, oddly enough, it tends to feel a little too personal for a blog that's mostly shitposts and fanfic.
i enjoyed the nyc takeover/popup store (i'm not generally a merch person, but they had better designs overall than usual, including a great scarf that i'm sure is probably now up for hundreds on ebay)-- it was cool to see those kiss aspects on the street, on the metro cards, and on the empire state building. in person, i didn't feel it was quite as much of a takeover as was hyped, but that was to be expected in a city so gigantic and i have no complaints. it was cool just to have what was there, although i do wish i could've gotten a kiss cookie!
friday's show was pretty close up, which is always fun. i am basically always on stage left due to that being where paul will do his little ride to the b-stage. gene kept trying not to cry-- paul actually didn't seem that emotional. had a really lovely chat with the guy in the seat next to me (who was from the bronx) before the show started, about kiss and NYC in the seventies/eighties and today.
friday was not sold out.
second/last show was up quite a bit higher but was facing the stage-- overwhelming, not just from the emotions of it being the last show, and paul clearly doing the best he could, and gene clearly being about to cry the entire, entire time-- but also because i've just seldom gotten to see the whole stage from kiss before. the whole tableau out there is really fantastic. in all the times i've seen them, i had never even realized that paul's stage is lit up and has that star pattern before! i liked the somewhat cage effect going on during paul's b-stage bit.
i wasn't much for the interviews and so on beforehand-- criss angel in particular i wasn't a fan of. the part with the kids was okay. not really sure what was going on with the kiss kosplay aspect but all right. i had vague hopes that they would do a little 5-10 minute retrospective bit, taking the audience through some of their history, have clips, etc.-- would've been a cool touch. i had absolutely no real expectations of ace or peter (or anyone else that was formerly in kiss) actually being there, but thought a recorded greeting might be possible. i would have liked them at minimum to have been mentioned. (to really have gotten a full 50 years' perspective, all former members should have at least gotten a mention somewhere.)
"beth" got me a little emotional, but i was surprised at how by the end of the concert i wasn't as devastated as i'd expected. i guess i had come to terms with a world without kiss.
and then we, uh. well, we, uh, got the avatar announcement.
um.
yeah.
maybe it's my own fearful mortality peeking through, but i kept thinking of the theological idea of the eternal perspective. to me personally it goes a little deeper than "time is short, focus on the correct/most important aspects of your life;" an eternal perspective also is considerate of the aspects of others' lives. as i've gotten older, i've started to understand a lot of things i never did before, about other people, the way they viewed/handled things as opposed to the way i did, etc. the older i get, the more i see where i've consistently messed up, and where i've failed, or, at least, made a situation worse instead of better. and, maybe, sometimes, it's let me see that i need to let up and let go.
kiss owes no one anything. not a lineup, not a recording, not an experience (except one that's been paid for). their legacy is borne out of the blood, sweat and tears of ten members total, a half-dozen or more managers-- though all principal credit is due to bill aucoin-- brilliant producers, and hundreds of roadies, bodyguards, techs, costume designers, press agents, and so on who believed in them. but i would hate for the four beasties of rock and roll to never see each other again until one of them is covered up in flowers in the back of a black limousine, and sadly, this is looking more and more like this may be the case.
i am grateful for this band and the wonderful people it's caused me to meet and befriend (especially my dear friends that came with me, @hillsofuhhtennessee and @elrohare! we had the most incredible time!!), and how it's pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me broaden my horizons. i am grateful for the experiences and the memories. kiss has always been there for me in the very lowest times of my life, and my hope still is, that maybe someday, they could be there for each other and mend some fences before the real end of the road for all of them.

i dont have much to report on weight wise, as i havent weighed myself since thursday, because i've been drinking alcohol and therefore i am retaining water
i can feel how i am all swelled up rn - my rings feel tighter than normally. i'll weigh myself again once the water retention goes down
but, ofc, i have even more stuff about my whole ✨love life situation✨
i am seeing my bf tomorrow, and i will tell him that i dont think our relationship is going that greatly, and then i'll take it from there. i dont really like to think too much about it, but i also feel more at peace w it - and i think my lil crush is a huge part of that. i really dont need anyone to tell me that i'm a horrible person - i am truly doing my best, both in terms of navigating my feelings and my relationship and my mental health. i'm really not in a good place right now, but at least i can kinda pretend, that my troublesome feelings are some fun new drama that i can share w my friends (you guys teehee)
if you don't care about my love life drama, then its totally ok. if you are, you're in for a treat (maybe idk)
lets call my crush-situation W
aight, so W and i talked all night thursday, and i have quite a lot to report about that night, and then a little about last night
my friend started talking about one time i had a ons w one of my friends, like 3 years ago, and i was quite embarrassed to talk about it. but the others laughed and idk, i figured it was fine. W switched between not laughing at all, just looking down at the table, and then awkwardly laughing a bit while looking at me, and then the table. i dont know what that means??? just as the conversation ended he was like "do u wanna go for a smoke" and then we went outside, and talked about other things.
we had been drinking and joking all night, and he decided to tell some group of girls sitting in the bar, that he and i are childhood friends (big lie, i've known him since summer). and i was like "aight, whatever" and then he lied and told them that i had written him tons of love letters when we were children. and i just laughed and lied and said "yeah haha, i was totally in love with you". when we left the bar, like 2 hours later, and we were all alone, i teased him about something we told the group of girls, and then he was like "yeah yeah whatever, i know that you'll just send me another love letter. you're like tooootally into me hahaha" and i was like "oh yeah, haha, totally. u got me" while walking away and laughing. i might just be fucking overthinking everything but also... why lie about writing love letters? there are much more embarrassing things (for me) he could've said. idk, help me
he texted his girlfriend throughout the night (i think) but looked quite annoyed/not happy whenever he did, and at some point he left the table for like 15 minutes (probably to talk to her). idk
he kept touching my stuff. like my cigarettes and my lighter, he would just sit with them and play with them. i found it quite cute, idk
OKAY, and then to last night (friday)
i was in another bar last night, helping out, 'cause i kinda work there (ish, like, volunteer-work) and W was supposed to have a shift later in the evening
he calls me to tell me that he will be running late, 'cause he was at an event, and shit hit the fan, idk. then he asked me if i could cover for him, and i said that i for sure could cover for him. we only talked for 1,5 minute, but idk. my fucking hands went sweaty and i couldn't stand still. i don't think i've ever picked up that fast. uuuughhhhh i feel so weird. whatever
he showed up like 1,5 hours too late (but it was ok, 'cause there really wasn't much to going on), and went directly out to find me (i was smoking) to hug me and apologize for coming so late. then i kept feeling his eyes on me, and i could hear him mention my name a lot of the night
we ended up doing some cleanup together afterwards, and it was just... really nice. we have such a good time whenever we're together and i feel so comfortable around him. except for the part where i keep thinking about how hot i think he is and how want to give him a big old smooch. i had hoped to talk to him some more, but we both went home when cleanup was done, and idk. its fine
i have not been able to keep him out of my head all day. its truly torturous

p2 of cheat?
cheat. - part two
angst 18+ MASTER LIST
synopsis; your relationship with max becomes more complicated as drama starts to spark.
warnings; mentions and implications of sex, cheating, lying, bruises, hickys, toxic!max, arguing, mentions of being cheated on, mentions of physical abuse, swearing.
DISCLAIMER; I have absolutely nothing against Max Verstappen nor Kelly Piquet. This is purely just for the storyline and plot, and I am not insinuating that this is how Max acts in real life. He is an amazing driver and an amazing person and this does not reflect on how he acts.
"It's immature, really." You said hurryingly, doing the button at the top of your dress from the night before. "From the both of us."
"The only immature person here is you, how you choose to stay with him when I've made it clear I want you." He shot back, as you look at him in disbelief.
"You don't know what it's like, and you don't know what I've been through. It's selfish for you to say such a thing. If you wanted me this bad, you could've had me before I got involved with Max." You grimace at his name, wondering how you were going to face him in such a state.
You didn't listen to what Charles had to say. You blocked out the tunes of his deep voice and put your heels on, walking to the door. He didn't get it, didn't know what it was like loving someone unconditionally when they only loved you on their own terms.
"Look, I'm sorry. But you do deserve better, he doesn't even fuck you right Cherie. Take some time and think about who he really is." He said, as you really consider his words.
"Fine, I will. But if he sees this, you're in huge trouble." You said cautiously, pointing your finger up and down your body.
"Sure." He replied smugly, and opened the front door for you.
You walked away wondering how on earth you'd gotten yourself in such a situation. Walking down the concrete you turn around and see that you were in Charles' house, mansion in fact. You called your regular car service to see them pulling up round the corner.
"My apartment please." You asked politely to see the driver nod and pull away from Charles' house. You refrained from saying; 'our' or 'Max's', so the driver wouldn't raise suspicion.
As you were in the vehicle, watching as the people of Monaco live their life guilt and pain free, your eyes followed all the different building when whizzing past.
You had decided to leave him. Part the sea, split up, follow a new road; whatever people call it. Dump him. For the better, you were both holding each other back from bigger things and better opportunities. You had planned out a whole breakup speech as the car pulled up to your shared apartment.
You cracked the door open, hoping to get changed first. Your hands were sweaty, as you feel the pressure automatically rise in the apartment corridor.
"Max? You home?" You called out, hoping desperately that he wasn't.
"Yes, schat. Where have you been?" He said lowly, coming into the corridor space.
You immediately felt boxed in, trapped as though you couldn't move.
"I was out last night, got shitfaced and fell asleep in the bar." You lied through your teeth, trying to give a vague answer as to not lead onto any follow up questions.
"You're lying. You know how? Ohh, I'm not sure, maybe the pictures of you leaving Leclerc's house this morning?" He dragged out his words at first, then spat out the last few words fast, in disgust.
He came closer as he shoved the physical picture in your hand, putting a firm hand on your shoulder.
"Where did you get this from? Is this online?" You panicked, worrying your indecency was already plastered on newspapers.
"No no, your cheating isn't online. A good friend saw you stumbling outside of his house like a pathetic new-born deer trying to walk for the first time." He dramatized, his eyes becoming darker, with his grip on your shoulder tightening.
"Well then I guess you can connect the dots. I'm getting my stuff and leaving, we're done." You said grittily, moving past him. You didn't care about the way you talked to him now, knowing it would all be over in mere minutes.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? I gave you so much. I made you as a person, without me, you'd be nothing. Completely irrelevant." He shouts, following you into the shared room, watching you shove some clothes into a duffel bag you use for the gym.
"And I thank you for that, but only you hitting me has 'made' me. It made me stronger, and made me realise that I can't deal with your shit." Breathing out every word, made you seethe with rage, realising how shitty this past year had been.
"Fucking bullshit. Who got this in your head? Better not have been Leclerc, I swear to God." He said, waving his arms about trying to make some kind of justified point.
You push past him into the bathroom to get some toiletries. He followed you again and yanked your hair back. Hard. He kept his hand tight around your hair, pulling your head back with it.
"Answer me, schatje." His mouth dripping with venom, his words biting you with the poison.
"No. I came to the decision myself, as I don't need another person controlling my life." You said, ripping his hand off your hair.
He walked out the door and leaned against the wall opposite the door, watching you removing every aspect of you living here.
"You know what? I'm glad you're doing this. Kelly would be a better fit here anyway." He lipped, murmuring the last sentence to himself.
"Kelly huh? Glad to see you've found yourself another girl to turn black and blue." You fired, zipping the bag up shut.
"Don't talk about her like that. She's different, and I love her." He said firmly, looking at you in your eyes.
His words stung, stung like a motherfucker. You took the 'love' part personally. How long had that been going on for, when you loved him?
"Goodbye, Max." You spoke, slamming the door behind you and rushing into the elevator.
You could feel a warm film of tears wrap your eyes, daring to fall down your cheeks. You let them flow. Even if he was horrible, there were still feelings, and you had to let yourself accept that.
You quickly wiped them away as you got into your car, and reversed going towards Charles' house. You may as well join racing the way you were driving this car, without a care, speeding down the almost deserted roads.
Your tyres screech against the stones and you drift into a swift park, leaving the bag in the car and coming up to the door. You rap the door twice, hearing approaching footsteps. The door swings open as your met with Charles' face smiling at you.
"I did it." You spoke, pulling him in for a kiss.
A/N; please read the disclaimer at the top, it's very important before you leave a hate comment about the way I've presented Max. I focused more on the angst, if it's requested I might do part 3?

182 Days of TPN - Day 180
Chapter 180: "Your Everything"
I can understand how the demon god says he can't kill Emma or any of her family due to the promise she just made, but what if he physically wasn't capable of doing so regardless? Sure, right after the reveal He mentions how He "doesn't intend to" which gives the implication that He could, but what if, despite all the power He has to change the space around him, people's fate and whatever else, He's actually harmless? It would be kinda a letdown if we spent all that time worrying for our girl's life for nothing, but I'd still be grateful. It would make some sense as to why he has the other demons harvest food for him instead of obtaining it Himself, aside from the fact he's a literal god who's well respected by them.
Let the real pain begin! Maaann, it sucks that we've come this far into the story and watched these precious kids endure such hardships and yet once they all achieve their goal, the stress and drama just keeps on coming! At the end of the day, I can appreciate the high stakes of the reward and how greatly it effects Emma and her family, but that blank look on her face always breaks me.
Demon god may take Emma's memories but I'm about to take Him out with a good whack to the head courtesy of Barbara's spiked bat.
We know Emma cares way more about her family than herself, so hearing that they can all safely cross over to the human world and be free is obviously the best kind of news she can hear, but damn honey, that sad smile makes me wanna cry.
Like Ayshe, it's a shame that Alex is introduced to us so late in the story because there's a whole lot more I wanna learn about him aside from what he tells Emma and what we can deduce from the photos he has hanging up on his wall. There's no possible way he could've been introduced earlier in the story, since arriving in the human world was the shared dream of all the cattle children, but I wish this arc lasted longer so we could've at least seen more of his growing relationship with Emma.
Aahh, she's trying so very hard to remember anything about her life. I hate seeing her look so defeated. Whenever our Emma felt lost or down in the past, she would have her family around to help her or even resort to that famous optimism of hers to get her mind back on track, but she's really got nothing right now. Yeah she eventually gets to a point where she feels better about her situation as we see her spend more time with Alex in this new life during this chapter, but such sad expressions don't look good on our normally cheerful leader.
As much as I love how Emma kept all the photos Ray once gave her this entire time, I hate how they've become completely distorted by the price of the reward. Demon god just keeps landing more critical hits on my heart. I do have to wonder if the WM pen still works at all or not though. Her and Alex had to be a little curious about a pen that doesn't work like an actual pen. But yeah, seeing a young teenager with a gun that size is definitely a red flag. Luckily Alex finally learns from Emma's family the reason why she had it in offscene026 (which isn't an extra page from the manga but can't recall where it's from exactly), along with all the other odd and impressive skills she retained because she was one of the cattle children, but until then the poor man believed she was an escaped child solider or secret agent, which doesn't seem too farfetched considering everything else that's happened in the story.
I'll never get used to seeing Emma without her ID. That 63194 is iconic damn it, whether on her neck or in song form! But bless Alex for being such a kind gentleman and practically adopting Emma without question. Undoubtedly one of the best parents of the series and quite literally the only one that's safe from any possible death threats (the one perk to being introduced so late I suppose). I also love all the patterns he has on his clothes and around the house.
Although I love the jacket she wears at the end of this chapter and the next, along with the outfit that's briefly shown at the start of the epilogue which gives me serious GP outfit vibes, Emma looks real good wearing all these cute patterns. I'm assuming these clothes once belonged to Alex's daughter and it's sweet he shares them with Emma.
I think I rambled on a little bit with this idea back during ch101 about the necklace and because of it resembling the dragon's eye (that's supposedly capable of seeing through everything), it managed to nullify the consequences of the reward, which is why Emma was capable of seeing her family in her dreams and eventually cause her to reunite with them by being sorta sentient in a way since it slipped off her neck.. somehow. Anyway, not really relevant to any of that, but the larger blanket on her bed always reminded me of a giraffe pattern which obviously suits our girl so well.
Having all her most important people call out to her and not remember a single soul, including herself, ugh.. I wish to lay down and sob.
As if the whole memory loss situation didn't already upset me enough already, let's add Emma crying in her sleep to the list.
I'm slow in realizing this, but this is probably the same church that was shown in Alex's photos.
Loneliness truly is a horrible feeling, but at least they can comfort each other. While I'm certain both of them would love to reconnect with their respective families again, having one person by your side is a whole lot better than no one at all.
As long as you keep your family and friends in your heart, they'll always be with you, so While Alex doesn't necessarily need to stay in one place to remember them, I understand that being around a familiar place where he shared countless memories with them would allow him to remember everyone easier. It's sweet of him to still be concerned of Emma's family a month later despite her having trouble thinking about them in the first place.
I get annoyed at myself whenever I say I'm gonna do something then forget the exact thing I planned to do just minutes after, so I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for Emma to remember nothing of her previous life. Well, I everything that doesn't directly relate to her family or the demon world anyways, such as firing a gun, her athleticism and all her habits, but to hell with the demon god. This reward is still so cruel.
Mhhhmm her optimism has slowly but surely been returning to her as well, just not in the way we would've wanted/expected. Even though I would love for her to remain hopeful that she could meet or remember her family someday, I'm proud of her that she decides not to dwell on her losses anymore and begins living a happier life.
The absolute joy I felt upon seeing Ray, Gilda and Phil being so close to finally finding our girl.. aaahh it just makes you wanna jump into the panel and shout at them to TURN THE HELL AROUND.
Favorite panel/moment:
I got this far and realized I actually chosen three different scenes, so.. I'm gonna cheat. Of course, I love this quick dream scenario of what Emma's life could've looked like had she arrived in the human world alongside her entire family without any compensation, as her number is still visible on her neck here. I also just really love everyone's different outfits! And I'm once again only noticing now that the patterns on Emma's shorts and the hood part of her shirt match the pattern that Alex had on his original jacket.
Remember way back at the end of ch1 when Emma declares that she wouldn't cry anymore? Yeah, well, obviously this Emma doesn't recall that promise to herself and proceeds to let out an impressive amount of tears while shattering my heart in the process. Aahhh, this is another moment I'm glad that was never animated because hearing all that emotion in her voice would surely make me cry along with her. And I praised the anime's use of a sunrise during the end of their interpretation of the ch122-123 balcony scene, so even though this chapter came first, I do enjoy how the rising sun has sorta become a symbol that restores Emma's optimism because it's shortly after this breakdown that she starts to act like her old self again.
Lastly, Alex giving Emma a head pat. I desperately wished this would've caused her to remember all the head pats Ray gave her in the past, or at the very least spark some kind of deja vu feeling, but alas, we weren't that lucky.

There's a little tidbit in the manga about the first time Zeus took on his Adamas form where Adamas was there and said it was ugly and Zeus said it kinda looked like him, then Poseidon, face in a book, bumped into Zeus and said, "Get outta the way, Adamas!" so Zeus named that form after him.
In addition, I realized that Poseidon didn't actually get up and draw his weapon until Adamas was seriously approaching him. There was a really long pause where he didn't say or do anything before that and I kinda wonder if he was just hoping it'd blow over and Adamas would calm down? He got put in a situation where his older brother was rallying to cause a god war and kill his younger brother, and in the end, when his brother got mad and things started escalating to a fight, he chose to kill his older brother instead.
One could argue that he wasn't really concerned with a god war or Zeus being killed and that he really just killed Adamas because it was unbecoming of a god, but it's kind of hard to say that such a big move as killing another olympian, his brother, had the sole reason of "I didn't like him"/"He wasn't Professional enough for me" when the death itself has such implications. I also thought it was strange that he chose to erase Adamas from history after that - Geir thought gods killing gods was unheard of, but it's really not at all. Plus, he was planning an outright coup, so I doubt he would've gotten in any trouble. It could've just been an excuse for the writer to add another olympian for drama's sake, but I prefer to assume anything and everything is cannon and has meaning.
I just really can't tell if the whole scene was guided by his unhealthy obsession with the perfection of a god (please get this poor mans a therapist) or if there really was greater meaning there. Did he erase Adamas from history to avoid bringing up the pain of having had to kill him, or merely because he was a disgrace to the Greek pantheon? Either way, I think he likes/liked his brothers and was reluctant to kill him.
Lastly, in that one scene where Adamas is having a flashback of Poseidon refusing to look him in the eye throughout their youth, Poseidon's wearing a pretty weird shirt in one of the scenes, and apparently that's because they completely inverted his shirt from what it was in the manga. What kind of deadline were they working on to make so many mistakes like this? It's like they seriously didn't reference the manga or ask the writer anything during its production.

Listen, I know that y'all are here for my TMR content, but at least one of you has asked me for an OBX piece and I'm going through a phase, so I thought I'd say my piece on this.
A think a main point of tension in the fan base atm the moment is Jiara (Kiara x JJ).
Now- I would like to clarify that I love the show, and I really like Kie as a character, and even though JJ is my favourite character, I'm not a delusional fangirl who dislikes their relationship because of that.
I, at the end of season 2, actually really liked them and thought they would make a cute couple.
But, as of season 3, I do not like them together.
Hear me out.
I, personally (as in this is my opinion pls dont shout at me), do not like them in season 3.
My main problem with the show and the relationships in the group is that it is incredibly heteronormative - which also increased with Cleo joining the group (I absolutely love Cleo she is an icon I have no problems with her). But like, a friend group with the same amount of boys and girls does not mean that everyone has to pair up. People can just be mates. And while the cast is obviously very diverse, which is brilliant we love to see it, there is not one slightly queer character in the show.
And, Madison Bailey, who plays Kiara, literally has a girlfriend in real life. Idk maybe I will just die on the headcanon hill that Kie is a lesbian because she is an interesting character and I do not care about the whole relationship drama between her and the boys.
Another point people keep arguing over is that Kie and JJ was forced.
And like, no, it wasn't- we've been seeing them subtly flirt for 2 seasons. It's been made obvious that JJ obviously has feelings for Kie; literally in the first episode. And, after season 2, it's clear Kie likes him too.
But, it does feel forced.
Like, it's established they like each other, but they've always liked each other and have gotten into the most horrendous situations without saying anything. So why now?
JJ feels normal - but Kie feels kinda out of character. Like, maybe she just had enough and couldn't hold back anymore, like, girl, I get you. But they used to have good, flirty but friendly energy, and it feels like the writers were forcing tension between them. Which is extra annoying cause it's at the expense of my boy Pope.
Also, just throwing it out there, the whole "I love you, dude" scene didn't even process as a love confession to me - it was only JJ's reaction that made me realise. I think it's because me and my mates say we love each other all the time and the "dude" made it feel like her just trying to convince him she cares over having genuinely strong feelings for him.
Though the Kitty Hawk rescue was peak from JJ and absolutely that I expected their romantic relationship to be- it's just everything before that.
And don't get me started on the time skip.
It's some really bizarre writing. Like, they make sense, but the way it all went down just doesn't make sense to me for some strange reason.
Idk how to explain it. It feels rushed, like whilst they've been friends for years, we didn't really see any progress or realisation from Kiara's side. Like, maybe a scene where she talks to Sarah about it and says she doesn't know what to do and she thinks she's starting to fall for JJ could've made it feel less... off. Something as simple of that could've really added to it in my opinion. Like, we didn't see Kie's feelings for JJ outside of their interactions with each other.
If that makes sense, I'm struggling to explain here.
I hope yall get me here lmao.

Purely out of curiosity since ur rewatching TVD, what is your opinion on the absolute use and abuse of Bonnie Bennett throughout the entire series?? And how would you as a writer have approached her character and arcs instead?? Just wanted hear ur trusted and intellectual perspective on this 😔😔🤍
Trusted and intellectual, nonnie? 🤣 I can't tell if you're being ironic and this is trying to poke fun at me somehow or not, so I'll just assume it's an honest question, even if there's nothing trustworthy or intellectual about my takes on this teen vampire drama 🤣🤣
I have talked about Bonnie before, but I don't think I had ever watched the show start to finish from season 1, and it becomes even more glaringly obvious how awful the writing for her character is. Even when the show is at its best, Bonnie never is. She starts from a place of semi-protagonism, discovering her witchy powers at the same time Elena meets Stefan, and we're led to believe she's going to play a huge role, right? That figuring out this story is gonna go right through her. And then by the end of S1, they bump her down to somehow being less relevant than Caroline, who at this point had nothing going on for her besides a failed romance with Matt (she becomes a vampire on the last episode of S1, I think). Caroline gets the complicated romances, she gets the vampire arc, then Tyler being a werewolf situation, her drama with her mother, and then she gets Klaus. Meanwhile, Bonnie gets absolutely no plots of her own.
She's barely a person at all. Literally, when they have no use for her saving Elena, she doesn't even appear. We know nothing about her family, I don't think they even mention Bonnie's mom abandoned her, we don't even know she lives with her father, we don't see her house like we see Caroline's and Elena's. I just watched ep 1 of S3 today, and she's away with 'her father's family' but who are they? Who's her father?? We only meet him in S4 and somehow are led to believe he'd always been there and was somehow important enough to be appointed mayor, even though he was never a part of the town council. Why??
I can get behind Bonnie taking her mother's last name because, I don't know, the Bennetts are important, but they never make it seem like they are, so it doesn't make any sense?? Although, coming to think of it, it's weird with Caroline too. Liz is not a Forbes, and yet we hear her family has also always been in on the whole vampire thing, even though the founding family is on her father's side?? Just stupidity, I guess. But anyway. Why couldn't they make Bonnie's father a Bennett instead and then have him be a major part of the town's secret dealings like everyone else? Why not get them involved in the whole political shenanigans going on? The Bennett's had been there since BEFORE the founding families, they are a powerful witch line, and yet we're supposed to believe they relinquished all the power to the white idiots all this time? Why haven't they been pulling the strings around the city? Why did Emily Bennet never play a bigger role other than as Katherine's maid?
Why wasn't Bonnie even selected to be among the Miss Mystic Falls girls?? Why wasn't she invited to the Mikaelson ball? Are we supposed to believe that Esther wouldn't want to meet the descendant of the witch Ayana?? Why bring Bonnie's mom into this at all, someone who had never been a part of anything, if they could've just had her father play a big role in EVERYTHING from the start and make the Bennetts a real powerhouse in the story? They could've been the real chiefs in town, not the Lockwoods.
And then when we learn about Bonnie's mom, we find out she ALSO sacrificed her powers AND HER DAUGHTER just to protect Elena because of her good friend Miranda??? Seriously?? This is so fucked up.
Bonnie honestly has no agency within the plot, ever. She's just this artifice to fix whatever the writers come up, just a tool for salvation. It's lazy, lazy and RACIST writing, IMO. We hear she's super powerful, that her witchy line is the most powerful one ever, going all the way back to Qetsiyah, and yet that never manifests into the story. When they need Bonnie to be some deux ex machina type, she is. When they don't, she's weak. She loses her powers, she gives it away willingly, she DIES about 100 times like she has no aspirations of her own other than saving Elena and Jeremy. Caroline gets a full personality (even if everyone rolls their eyes at her, which is a different thing), but what are Bonnie's traits, other than being brave and loyal and self-sacrificing? What are Bonnie's aspirations?
The fact that out of eight seasons, she doesn't have a love interest for one and a half, and spends from S2 to S6 hung up on Jeremy is just !!!! Dude cheats on her, betrays her, is useless and boring, leaves the show, comes back, and Bonnie is somehow ALWAYS still in love with him. Tbh, their entire relationship seems like an attempt at giving Jeremy more purpose than adding anything to Bonnie's development. It's ridiculous.
At some point, we meet this woman who says she's a Bennett cousin, someone who was helping Katherine in S2, and she tells Bonnie she'll come back, but then we never hear about her again??? Why couldn't this woman have come back to teach Bonnie about her ancestors, about the Bennetts, about magic? Why didn't she get that story arc?
It's been mentioned several times how awful the treatment of Kat Graham was. So much so she gets war flashbacks whenever anyone mentions The Vampire Diaries next to her. I even read that they were giving her crappy story lines in order to get her to quit the show on her own. That they'd act like that towards their single black actor on the show, knowing she was facing blatant disrespect behind the scenes from some of her coworkers, is just awful. It's racist, racist crap, there's no other word for it.
How I would fix her arcs is too loaded a question, because there are too many arcs, and too much to fix. I'm not really a writer, nor am an intellectual lol So I don't know if I'd be capable of giving her the protagonism she deserved. But I just wish they'd fleshed out Bonnie the way they did others. Given her aspirations, plans, her own story lines separate from everyone else (like Caroline and Tyler or Caroline and Klaus or Caroline and her mom or Caroline and the twins). Giving her a home and a family would've humanized her. I wish they'd made the story run through her, instead of using her, that they'd given her all the power we hear she's supposed to have. By the end of TVD, Bonnie should've been crowned THE MOST POWERFUL WITCH ON EARTH, period. Her journey should've taken her there. Instead, she keeps getting outshined by everyone else.
I wish she'd gotten a good love interest (NOT JEREMY). Personally, I liked her and Damon in S6/7/8. WAY more than I ever liked her and Enzo, tbh. I read that Ian and Kat were SUPER pushing for Bamon, and it honestly would've been an interesting arc?? I know people are gonna say 'ew, problematic', but honestly every single ship on this show is problematic in some way, it's a vampire show, and the two of them as friends were super cute. Plus, they did have a lotta chemistry.
And the big thing for me is that Bonnie should've been leading lady after Elena leaves. It just made sense. Bumping Caroline up to that spot was ???? I love Caroline, she's my absolute favorite, but why?? What about her character journey or her importance within the show made her leading character material? Bonnie, otoh, made perfect sense. She was super powerful, she could steer the story, AND there was the beautiful poetry of her taking over Elena's place. Since Elena was asleep for as long as she was alive, then why not actually give a great life to live, for once, since they'd never allowed her to do it while Elena was in the picture. But no. Instead, she loses her powers. 🙃
Something I also would've loved to see happen is having her moved over to TO. Since they clearly didn't want her in TVD, why not put her in the neighboring show and give her a more important role? A Bennett witch among the New Orleans covens could've been great. Even if it was just for a short arc, I would've appreciated that. There's a whole thing at the end of S1 of TO where Klaus gets in touch with Bonnie about the collapse of the Other Side and then we learn Esther used that to bring herself, Finn and Kol back to life. There was a good crossover opportunity there that was just wasted. Even Matt and Alaric crossover to TO. Why not Bonnie?
Anyway. 🤣 If this wasn't meant as a serious ask, nonnie, I'm sorry for the bible answer, but joke is on you cause clearly I have lots of FEELS. Though none of this is groundbreaking, it's just obvious stuff. I've only just started S3 though, I'm sure I'll get more outraged as I move forward.
IN CONCLUSION 🥲 Bonnie was a badly written, barely humanized character ON PURPOSE, but Kat Graham portrayal of her, in spite of all the awful story lines, was so genuine and so full of heart that we cared for her and loved her anyway. She gave life to someone who was mistreated by the writing team from start to finish. She deserves the world, JUSTICE FOR BONNIE BENNETT.
#yokan answers#anon#bonnie bennett#thank you for coming to my ted talk#i honestly don't know if nonnie is making fun of me because i'm rewatching tvd and posting my thinky thots here like an idiot 🥲#i'm a clown nonnie 🤡#the vampire diaries#long post

we will singlehandedly convince everyone to put chase in situations I believe in us. and yeah he deserves to be put into so many situations.
another thing I think is fun about him in canon is that one part during S1 ep8? I think? where Emma tells him to play dead and he does this whole spiel about asking people to tell his mum that he never ate broccoli and his aunt helped him lie when he fed it to the dogs. like sir you couldn't have told her that at like any point in time? you never could've talked to her? she never would've listened? and he trusted his aunt or liked her more than his actual mum. like the whole interaction was so strange to me especially because it was just waved off like all the total drama lore drops. and his dying wish was just to communicate with his mum? yeah I know what he is (unwell)
I agree that chase not being an asshole for the fun of it and instead BC of his mental health is such a better interpretation. he's great angst potential for relationships and stuff and I think your point about chipper is so interesting because yeah. ripper parents canonically didn't care about him or his brothers but instead of becoming super dependant on others ripper prides himself on his independence and how he doesn't need others even tho he really does. they could be so unhealthy for eachother and also fix eachother. and chowie drives me insane because like. Bowie can actually help. he knows healthy relationships and he knows how to help but he has to drag chase into improvement. and what's with chase having the weirdest ship names lmao chipper and chowie
also his and Emma's relationship is such a thing like. I don't really have the words to explain it but chase isn't good for emma, if he was a better person it would be cute? idk if cute is the right word but if chase wasn't obsessive and insane I think it could've been a genuinely good relationship but because of the way he is I don't think it ever will be. even if he improves I don't think they're good for eachother!! his ass needs to have the consequences of his actions
and this is a good time to introduce my rarepair of chase X Wayne because I think so much of them. Wayne isn't very smart in the traditional sense but he is exactly what chase needs because he can set boundaries but still have healthy relationships with people and he cares about people so much. he is so good at expressing and handling emotions and he is so willing to care and wait for people to open up to him I am so insane about chase X Wayne. chayne? wase?
I have to break out word and write something soon because I am going to put that man through a fucking situation. he should be going through it. anon we are geniuses and have the most correct interpretations of characters ever
#td chase#total drama#total drama 2023#total drama spoilers#im so normal about chase i can be trusted with chase i will not break that boy like a dogs favourite chew toy
