hey! its been a while since i last requested (ive been busy), and i loved what you wrote for skittles with the anxious s/o! you wrote it really well imo. is it alright if you write something for skittles with an s/o who really likes to bake?

- 💾

Hey there! Welcome back! It's more than alright! Baking is a good and lovely hobby, and I think Skittles would love nothing more than to join you on your endeavours!

Skittles with an S/O who Likes to Bake

I could honestly see Skittles loving to bake himself. Sure, he might not always have the ingredients for that sort of thing, but when he does, he loves to bake a cake, some cookies, some cupcakes. You name it, he’ll likely make it for you. It’s among his favourite pastime activities since no one ever expects some baked goods from anyone. Loves handing those sweets goods out to anyone willing to eat them, or to anyone who seems like they might need some good cheering up. Ergo he loves you loving to bake. Will always join you when he’s not out and about. And even if he’s not home, he’ll call you and ask you if you could kindly wait for him so that you both can indulge in your hobby together. Despite being such a kind grunt, he’s still fairly strong, so if you can’t stir the dough by yourself then he’ll gladly do it. Since he’s a very chatty grunt you can count on him to make some small talk the entire time. Maybe your conversation will derail into something more proper as well, though. Like the time Hank tried his cupcakes and said they were good! He just loves talking to you and will do so any chance he can get. If you’re not low on flour then he might play around and put some on your face just to mess around with you. Although he loves baking, it should be fun as well, in his eyes. Has probably tried to drink a drop or two of vanilla extract before and wasn’t a big fan. However, when you put your creation in the oven and wait for it to finish, he might ask you for a dance in the kitchen. Skittles thinks it’s very romantic to dance in the kitchen together. Besides, it passes the time and you won’t be leaving the oven out of sight either. He’s not a bad dancer either, he knows a few moves. But it’s really all to just grow closer to you. Once your baked goods are done, he’ll take them out of the oven and let them cool. You will always be the first one to get a bit from them, though. You should be the first one to enjoy what you made together. Afterwards he’ll take a bite as well, but he just really wants to see you light up first before he does. Whether what you made will be handed out or not depends on whether or not you want to keep it for yourself or not. If you’re alright with sharing it, then Skittles would be more than happy to give his siblings a slice of your cake as well. Something this good should be shared with the world.

#madness combat #madness combat x reader #madness combat skittles #skittles x reader #I used to bake when I was at the hospital. I loved doing it it was always so much fun #plus the people there also really liked the marble cakes and cookies I made! so it was a win-win for everyone involved #one day I'm gonna bake another cake because I do miss baking. even if I can't eat my own cakes anymore #but I'm gonna take my cakes to work so the people can eat them there!#I can see Skittles getting into just about any hobby his beloved one might have though #as long as it's not needlessly and obviously violent he'd be down for just about anything #and baking is good and nice so naturally he'd bake with you and have fun doing it as well #if there was ice in Nevada I feel as though he'd love figure skating as well #he'd be pretty good at it too in my opinion #this grunt has lots of hobbies to indulge in. doesn't have time for all of them though #he's just always out and about and needs to do something fun and nice for other people #I know I say it every time but he's such a sweetheart #they should nickname him Nevada's Sweetheart

there's a certain quality the harmonies of like... early to mid 2000s alt rock has. which i am obsessed with... like i wanna do that. i NEED to figure out how to write harmonies that sound like that

#ari opinion hour #i sort of understand it but not necessarily well enough to do it on command #i think i sort of achieved the sound of it with my blaseball winter exchange song i did for snow but specifically only in the very last bit #like only with the 'im not alive anymore' part #(which sidenote i wish id had the second half faster + w more drive but its not like that was like a full recording which i could do)#i think i just need my music to have more teeth in general cause it scratches an itch that i think i must have developed due to some aspect #of music school. its probably my dissatisfaction with the attitudes in the classical world #<- which understand i say that in the same way that like my jazz prof does. the classical world doesnt have enough teeth nor enough #understanding of the way in which music is like. another art. and art needs to be able to have teeth and use elements normally regarded as #''undesirable'' on purpose because art is there to make you feel emotions and not just the positive ones and not just sadness or anger in #terms of the negative ones #art is there to make u feel ALL extant emotions and that includes boredom disgust fear jealousy pity cowardice apathy overwhelmedness etc #also the classical world i find often forgets what the word ''play'' means #i am of the opinion that perfection is a waste of time if i wanted perfect i'd ask a computer to do it for me. i want real #anyway. i forgot what this post was even about lol point is i need to figure out how to write harmonies that have that soaring quality that #like. you can hear it in like helena by mcr and wake me up by evanescence and stuff. and frankly most of the songs on three cheers for swee #revenge which i am listening to now for the first time. i need to learn more about this stuff maybe ill listen to the evanescence album tha #song is from next.#or something i should really be working on my essay but theres no way i wont have it done in time which is good i think i just mostly have #to worry about sources and stuff but even that should be relatively easy i think

🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💖💀

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

The theory that Iris loved the Flash and not Barry. Her confession in s2 is literally her stating otherwise. People love to cite Armageddon, but…aside from that being very victim-blame-y (sure, guys, put that on Iris instead of the guy literally messing with her mind), people also forget that she literally shot Eobard, whom she thought was the real Flash, for the sake of Barry, whom she thought was the Reverse Flash. And then whispered “Barry, I love you too” with enough power to motivate him to set things right. Does that sound like someone who only loves the Flash??

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

I see the appeal in Barry/Snart as a ship, but I don’t ship them. Same for Harry/Cisco, though in that case, it’s because I don’t see their dynamic that way

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

Iris’s “you are not the Flash, Barry, we are” is a supportive line, not a dismissive one. It’s “let’s carry these burdens together”, not invalidating him! Really, it says the same thing as “there is no Flash without Iris West” and “without you, there wouldn’t be the Flash”…both of which Barry said, pre-s4 (and also, Barry says “we are the Flash” in a later scene 👀 the line everyone attributes to Iris is in fact first said verbatim by Barry)

💙: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think?

…listen I’m very much biased because I’m not ace and don’t see people as “hot” 😂 in terms of “attractive” tho…maybe Oliver Queen? Idk, he just doesn’t do it for me.

💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?

Idk if anyone in the Arrowverse is underrated in terms of attractiveness tbh 😂 maybe Cisco? I’m not totally sure.

🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?

I’m not sure if people still hate Harry for killing Turtle, but the people who do need to bffr.

First of all, Turtle was not a helpless victim, and I despise how the show, and the people who hate Harry for this, constantly ignored that when talking about how Harry killed a man. Turtle is a domestic abuser who killed his wife and gloated about it, and then gloated about doing the same to Patty.

Second of all, the context: Harry did it to figure out how to steal Barry’s speed, so he could give it to Zoom, who dangled Jesse in Harry’s face to remind him of the consequences of failure. He wasn’t killing in cold blood. He wasn’t even doing it because he wanted to. He even warned Team Flash that he’d choose his daughter over them!! And even Barry defended his decision to the Team, as he should, because any of them would do the same thing/similar things to protect their loved ones, AND THEY HAVE! And we don’t hate them for it because their motivations are understandable!

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

Doesn’t seem to be much of an unpopular opinion on Tumblr lol but I don't like s3. I like some parts of it (and the Westallen moments in it are (mostly) to die for), but it’s such a mess. It even pisses me off because it could've been so good (and also because parts of this fandom will call it the "best season" unironically...and a subsection of them still call for the death of a certain leading lady)

Also Savitar was a boring villain until he was unmasked, and idk why so many people liked him before that

💀: If you had to choose one major character to die, who would you choose?

Oooh this is a hard one, because usually my inclination is to save characters they’ve killed 😅 I guess Nash? I mean, his biggest contributions were kicking off Crisis and housing the Wells. Crisis could’ve happened so many different ways, and for the latter…they could’ve just bought back Harry instead of having Nash be his very boring mouthpiece. I wouldn’t remove him from the show entirely unless Crisis happened a different way, but…post-Crisis, he’s entirely extraneous

unpopular opinions ask game!

#the flash #anti coldflash #anti harrisco #i don't hate them or anything #but just in case #anti nash wells #opinions ask game #i don't necessarily think nash had to DIE but like. did we need to deal with him for another half-season

Real quick PSA for the followers, just to make sure my positions are clear on some issues and to make sure I am not causing any unintentional harm (that devolved into a minor hiatus):

-If I'm intending to talk about something specific, I'll mention it, I promise.

-I do be forgetting that you all recognize me on both my A03 and my tumblr. It is surprising to me every time. I tend to be vERY flippant on here, especially in my tags. I think we have reached a point where I should be more careful lol. I am not used to having an actual effect, so if I have an effect you don't appreciate, or I say something hurtful, please please bring it up to me! Dms, anon, replies; idc, I'm always down for a conversation.

-I am not in the business of apologies I do not mean, and I certainly do not back down from my opinions, I think that's been fairly clear. So, if I apologize it's because I mean it, and that won't change.

-I make a lot of posts that are critical of fandom culture in a lot of different fandoms, and culture around specific characters as well. I want it to be very clear that unless I am directly interacting with another user, then the criticism should never surround anyone specific. I never want to direct hate ever, unless I'm tagging.

-If there are questions about the appropriateness of my headcanon posts in response to asks, that can be changed. I would really hate to be making my very small community uncomfortable. I had thought I was fairly clear on the blogs boundaries and what I think is appropriate, but perhaps I haven't been careful enough. Please feel free to address issues with me, or to block me. That is always an option of course.

Uh, that being said, I might take a couple days. I have used this blog for fun and friends since 2015, it's not my first time fucking up nor will it be the last. But, it's upsetting to me that my blog might be harmful to some (who I hadn't intended it to be harmful to, it's always been an active warzone for irredeemable character excusers lol, since 2015). The queue will go on as usual but no new posts for a bit while I figure out if things need to change. I'll respond to DMs tho, probably, bc I'm obsessed with my mutuals.

#rip to the finish the asks today mission I was on #i'll probably feel less bummed tomorrow hopefully #but i have disturbingly strict morals for some reason and it makes me upsetty spaghetti when i feel like i wasn't living up to them #but again; this is not aT anyone please god i'm simply wordvomitting #what i said got me here and that is my fault of course and thats fine that's a non issue #i just am now worried that i was being harmful before that #my therapist also named melissa is gonna love this #i have a list going of things i think we need to discuss and before today it was “i should be diagnosed with something”#“is it bad to keep peer pressuring my mom to get a new dog”#and “what does it mean that when my mom folds my clothes i have to refold them like marie kondo”#now we finally have a real topic lollll #that kid at work better not say everything is my fault when i make him wash his hands again i might loose it #that was a joke for claritys sake #gimmie a day or two to put back on the armor back on lol #i am moral and always have a clear well written and opinionated answer that i feel strongly about #and won't ever change my position on and everything i do is for the good of the oppressed #that armor #hubris is the ultimate enemy of self doubt #that is another joke #melissa og #melissa bullshit

Opinions on the drdt Characters

Warning: spoilers

Teruko Tawaki

Vibe: CH1 Teruko is a vibe. CH2 Teruko is going to stab before the Vibe even begins. I still would want to be there for her.

Other: I understand where you’re coming from, but calm down. 10/10, love her character and the role she plays.

Extra: Fights for the brain cell.

Xander Matthews

Mood: Just wanting to make the world a better place.

Vibe: Perhaps we could be friends. Seems like a neat guy… except for the stab part.

Other: What the f, dude. Who hurt you? Want to talk about this before you commit a crime? No? Okay...

Charles Cuevas

Vibe: Pulling a ‘Whit’ on him would do the trick… or showering him with compliments. Both would work. Maybe. I would probably bother him with questions about chemistry, because I'm too lazy to buy a proper book.

Other: Nerd! 10/10, I normally don't like the tsundere, but eh. The Nerd gets a pass.

Extra: Fights with Teruko for the brain cell.

Ace Markey

Vibe: idk, I think he's funny. ...until he started bothering Nico.

Other: Ace, do you need someone to talk to?

Arei Nageishi

Vibe: We probably would not be friends. After she wants to change, I would give her a chance.

Other: You definitely need someone to talk to.

Rose Lacroix

Vibe: She is super relaxed. Just being in her presence is enough to bond with her and that’s great! I don't always need to talk. Just sitting with someone in the same room is enough for me.

Other: Please get a healthy sleeping schedule…

Hu Jing

Vibe: She seems kind? I'm not sure what to make of her.

Other: You do need someone to talk to, don’t you?

Eden Tobisa

Vibe: Super nice and very likable. Maybe a bit too much at times, but if you tell her to slow it down, she probably would.

Other: Do you need a break from carrying everyone's mental stability? 10/10.

Extra: Please, don’t be the mastermind. Please, don’t be the mastermind. Please, don’t be the master-

Levi Fontana

Vibe: He seems nice………………………………. For now. He's sus.

Other: He be slay… serving. I like his style. Would be bad if not.

Arturo Giles

Vibe: We would not be friends and the feeling is mutual.

Other: Not 100% dislikeable, but please stay away.

Min Jeung

Vibe: I don't dislike her, but probably would not be friends with her either. I'm very neutral about her.

Other: Please, do not forget to take a break, girl. You’re worrying me.

David Chiem

Vibe: Before Ch2 Ep11 we'd be just getting along, after Ch2 Ep11... idk. I would probably pull a very terrible Veronica from the distance.

Other: Well, aren’t you a funky little guy? Got some trauma you wanna talk about?

Veronika Grebenshchikova

Mood: The passion be real.

Vibe: I'm a sucker for horror stories, but there would be a need for therapy after. (Maybe not from her, though.) I'm not watching "Red Flags" with her.

Other: Honestly, there is nothing to dislike about her personally, but we can reach an agreement that Teruko did the right thing. Still 10/10 character. She's funny.

J Rosales

Vibe: She seems funny, although a little tsunderish, but there is a way around it.

Other: Glad not to have a mother like you. Again, not a fan of the tsuns, but she would be fine in doses.

Whit Young

Mood: I absolutely do make too many jokes during inappropriate times. (Thankfully most stay within the confinement of my head.)

Vibe: Super wholesome and always there for puns. I can see myself hanging out with him a lot.

Other: A friend everyone needs. 10/10 character, especially since he genuinely wants to help everyone around him.

Nico Hakobyan

Mood: Not me during a party looking for the next animal to spend the rest of the evening with… >.>

Vibe: Look, two awkward people are less awkward together. Speaking from experience.

Other: Perhaps the pet therapist needs therapy themself…

MonoTV

Vibe: Funny, but at what cost?

Other: I would adopt you… but at what cost?

#i have seen a few of these and wanted to put my own spin on it #yet another cast in desperate need of someone listening to them #aka therapy #it would not solve all problems but at least the worst #maybe #but we're all here for the drama right?#i just think they're all neat #even the ones i have neutral opinions about #vibe and mood check #opinions no one asked for #no way everyone but eden be taller than me tf #danganronpa despair time #do I need to tag spoilers at this point?#drdt spoilers #i hope the best for the creator and wish them a well recovery

I do wonder whether underappreciating Adriel x Lilith is just the fandom being boring in rejecting m/f (sorry not sorry, no hate from this bi girl, but nothing will surpass the Satan and Lilith dynamic), or, is it because the ship is so underdeveloped.

We see Adriel "tempt" Lilith, I talk about it here. I'ts great, I loved it.

Then, there's the final battle. We see them be an evil villain power couple together.

We even see Lilith be soft towards Adriel for a moment.

But, that's it. She turns on him, without us even understanding why. It wasn't because he's evil and crazy, she knew he was evil and crazy. Also, I refuse to believe she woke from his spell, I refuse to believe she was under a spell at all. He offered her what the OCS couldn't (and by that, I don't mean his rod). That's why she chose him. Maybe Reya played with her head, I don't know, but that would be insulting to her arc.

There's a gaping chasm between Lilith turning to Adriel, and the final battle. What were they doing during their time together? Drinking brandy and scheming? Performing blood rituals? Going on dates? What did they talk about, how did they bond (more)? It would have been great, to see the situation from their angle, at least a bit. To find out what they're thinking. Lorena and William portrayed great chemistry, why not use it? Also, their interactions could've revealed more about the Other side to us.

Warrior Nun did a lot of things brilliantly. Adriel is a wonderful villain, he's one of my favorite characters in the world. But, his dynamic with Lilith was left barebones. They both deserved more screentime in general, it's such a shame the season was shorter. Some things seem rushed because of it. I would've loved to see Lilidriel fleshed out more.

Also, I'm still bitter the creators screwed with the Satan and Lilith pairing by having her ditch him. You don't sUbVeRt that pair. I forgive a lot in the name of an author's license, I don't forgive that. At least she went away on her own path.

#warrior nun #warrior nun fandom #wn fandom #sister lilith #lilith villaumbrosia #adriel #lilith x adriel #lilidriel #otp #diary pages #warrior nun thoughts #idk why do i feel the need to mention i'm bi #i guess because people act like being straight makes your opinion and taste not matter #which is nonsense but that argument doesn't even work on me #tbh I don't like any of the ff pairings in wn except avalil and maybe doctor superion #i guess that's what fanfiction is for but i have enough wips #i did have that idea of a short fic where lilith has adriel's son and of course names him lucifer 🤣#pfft here she'd be with adriel and have a son named lucifer #in atsbb she's with lucifer (adriel's mom) and adriel's her stepson 🤣#but that name just... what other one would she pick #the do make such a great villain power couple and i adore anything that's based on my favorite pairing ever... one of there's also another #lorena andrea #william miller #warrior nun gifs #my gifs #of course my grievances with the creators mean nothing the do what the will i like or not like it it's my problem #even in your favorite media there's things you don't like #in wn i have a lot because it's... so out of my genre #tbh FOR ME my favorite ff ships never measure up to my favorite mf ships it's just my preference... well there are a couple but i prefer mf #in wn my problem is not that like i said the characters just don't create the type of ship i like

Snippet from: When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it. Chapter 5

Ghost Mace speaks to past Jaster (alive) and tells him what he knows of Jango's future, in the life he lived.

Mace's brow stiffened. "When we realised what we had done, we tried to find him but we could not."

"We tried to find the True Mandolorian's but the survivors had fled in all directions. We did try and see justice done, there was an overhaul of our internal mission preparation process. We changed our training. Dooku left the order as did his apprentice."

"None of it could make up for what we did. Years after the fact, I learnt that Jango was sold in to slavery by the governor. It took him years to escape. I learnt of the weight of what we had done in helping end the True Mandolorian's. In leaving Death Watch unchecked."

He meets Jaster's eyes. "We are here to discuss why we haunt Jango, but it would be remiss of me to not tell you that your son has haunted me every single day since the day I left on a mission to retrieve him; to attempt to offer reparations for what my peoples neglect brought down on him, and came home empty handed."

" We thought him dead, but I did not forget him. From that day, I've carried the weight of what we did to him. I have often thought of him over the years." Mace shook his head.

"You hold no blame here, but we just might."

And isn't that a thing. His son haunting a Jedi even before that Jedi might haunt him.

Jango is tangled up in something here far beyond Jaster's reckoning.

Mace is laying out the constituent parts that when put together, make Jango in to the man that is responsible for the death of every single person standing in that warehouse. Jaster isn't sure where that leaves him, because once he's done hearing this story, in the years that lay ahead of them yet, every single one of these horrible pieces is going to fall in to place. Tragedy after Tragedy ready to be pasted and slapped on to the boy he loves, his son, in order to make him in to the man that did this.

How the hell can Jaster stand by and let that happen?

There are no rules that apply to Jaster, not anymore. He doesn't care about morality or the ethics of fucking with a future that's apparently already happened. He has no care for his own code, not now. None of it matters.

Jaster is Jango's buir, before all else. He has been from the day he stepped in to a smoldering farmhouse and against the odds saw signs of life dancing across his HUD. The Ka'ra gave him Jango and by god, it can stand back while he brings his son back from the abyss.

Mace is watching him. "Jaster, you had no hand in making Jango Fett the man he became at the end. You did not abandon him, you were taken from him. I need you to know this. You should know that none of this was your fault. "

Jaster doesn't care. It doesn't matter if its his fault or not, he is responsible all the same; because he wants to be. He didn't fall in to parenthood, he walked in to it willingly. For Jango, there is no monster that Jaster will not face.

The ka'ra has given him one last gift. The opportunity to see Jango's life after Jaster, and a few precious years in which to try and change them. It may not be in Jaster's power to save his son from himself but by god, he'll die trying.

He looks at the Jedi. "Tell me the rest."

Some of my thoughts below the cut

Some of my thoughts (because clearly rambling in the comments hasn't been enough for me lol)

I had a lot of fun with this one. I've written about ghosts before but with this one, I went at it from another angle. In this au, ghosts aren't bound by linear time. If you do something that leaves a ghost tied to your soul, they are tied to you in the past as well as the future. Jango and Jaster are both Force Sensitive (tho with a Mando understanding of it. They call it 'star touched') and so can see ghosts.

In this fic, moving in with Jaster sets Jango on the path that brings him to the prequels. Once he's on that path, the ghosts that'll be tied to him in his future, can move freely along the timeline, with each of them pulled to a particular version of Jango. Jango will obviously be responsible for the deaths of quite a few people, there are his bounties, the Jedi and the clones and so on; but when the first ghost appears he's just a kid. The story deals with Jaster coming to terms with the fact that his kid, who he loves beyond reason, even if he stumbled upon him quite by accident, one day becomes the person that will make all these ghosts.

At first there's only one ghost in their time, but Jaster can't let it go (tho he knows he should), he needs to know what happens. So he keeps asking until she admits that she isn't the only ghost and that they are tied to Jango as he's responsible for their deaths. Then, he keeps pushing until she introduces him to the others. She gathers them in a warehouse (so Jango doesn't see) and takes Jaster there.

In the part of the story this snippet is from, Jaster has just been confronted with an excessive number of people (including children) who are all tied to Jango as he's responsible for their deaths. He's had a (understandable) freak out, and ghost Mace has taken him aside and offered to tell him what he knows of Jango's future, and how it led to the death of so many people.

What follows is a buddy up adventure between Mace and Jaster (unlikely duo) in which Jaster tries to come to terms with what Mace has told him, and the horrible events that led to Jango becoming the man that would one day be responsible for all these ghosts. While he tries to save Jango from himself, long before he needs saving.

The idea behind the fic is the inevitability of a tragedy. There's a feeling when you're watching a tragedy play out, that it's all so unnecessary, that it didn't need to happen, but you only know that because as the audience you know that they are in a tragedy, the characters don't know. So what if a character did know? Jaster is served advance notice, will having that allow him to save Jango, or will it just feed in to the fulfillment of this prophetic future?

I wanted to explore the fact that there's only so much one particular character can do, in trying to prevent the end another is headed towards and also, the power of familial love, even when it's found somewhere unexpected. Jaster isn't Jango's blood family, he didn't even know him till he was an older child, which I think makes his love for Jango in spite of knowing what he will become, all the more powerful. The glimpse of Jango's future is disgusting to Jaster, it goes against all he believes in, but its Jango so he can't hate him for it, he loves him too much and so, he's determined to save him from himself. He's willing to do the impossible.

Then there's Mace: so in this au, Mace is sent out shortly after Galidraan, when it becomes clear to the order that they've made a mistake, to find the survivor they left in the hands of the Governor, and to right a wrong. He isn't successful, he looks everywhere but he can't find him, and in the end the order write him off as dead. In this au, Jango was 18 on Galidraan and what Mace sees as his failure to save someone that was little more as a child, and suffered so greatly thanks to what the order see as their own neglect, haunts him for the rest of his career.

Its that idea of 'the one case you couldn't close'. It's at the start of his career and he goes on to do amazing things, Mace is peak Jedi, he invents a new form, he's one of the youngest Jedi to be elected to the council, he ends up heading that council, but he is still human (or near human lol sw complicates everything. he's 100% human in a fallible/emotional/sapient sense) I think that as a Master Jedi he's very aware of his own weaknesses, and he tries to work through it, he talks to it with other Jedi, and he certainly doesn't let it affect his judgement, but he can't forget it all the same.

So it's this version of Mace that ended up meeting Jango in the arena. Which I think adds such an interesting angle.

#Jaster Mereel #Mace #I've been thinking about this one (and a part of chapter 7 which i might post as another snippet)#cause i saw a poll talking about who was responsible for Jango's death and I've got a lot of opinions about that #that can not be contained by a poll lol. it's something i explored in this fic #pretty much. i think that Mace had no choice but i don't think he'd agree with that. i think he'd struggle with having killed Jango and #how he killed him. (decapitation. a particularly violent move. which i don't think he had a choice in. but yeah think he'd struggle)#i think that Jango pretty much ensured his own end and was too intelligent to not realise he was doing that so i think that was a #self hatred/survivors guilt/'i have lived past my end' kind of thing #i also think that Jango was only the person that always would have brought death upon himself like that because his past made him so #and i think his past was bad enough to make him that because it suited the greater narrative to have him end up like that #it suited palps ends pretty much. did palps know he was doing that or did the universe just work in his favour? who knows.#still worked out well for him #the poll got me thinking about Mace which got me thinking about this fic but writing about the fic has me thinking about this fic again #kinda tempted to go through it again and give it a bit of a face lift. old once over. shine it up a bit #I've always hated that it's 17 chapters tbh. want it to be 15 or 20. i don't think I'll address that this time tho.#might just try an edit however #has this???? no i won't say it. not to curse it but... the editing/ read back block may... be shifting. possibly.#considering an edit hadn't seemed so possible in a while.#there are so many things i need to look over once i can lol I've posted things still in draft state #that's cool tho. no problem. not thinking about that just thinking about how nice it would be to give this old thing a shine #Mace is so ready here to absorb all the blame for everything on the order (and by extension him) but its really not on them

sometimes disability aids are things you would expect them to be, sometimes its a collective giving-in & soliciting the help of a professional organizer to tackle the massive piles of Stuff crowding the house.

#this has gone on for multiple years as a result of having to unearth the entire basement after the water tank flooded #none of us were able to do anything about it even though we all know we needed to/really fucking wanted to #over two days we've made SUCH a dent in the work. my god. & tbh most of it really does just seem to stem from having another party here #who can delegate tasks and not get stuck like we do. im actually very good at doing things its the decision making that kills me.#12 hours of cleaning no breaks yes i am tired but it didnt even feel like i was working that long tbh #back to it on wednesday probably #also we're getting Shelves to replace the ones that the contractors tore out but never rebuilt so stuff WILL have a spot #god im tired lmao #but yeah if this is a struggle area for you & you can budget for it i cant recommend it enough #we actually dont even have as many things as i thought the post-flood boxes just werent packed well at all #(ngl im pretty sure i can also work with this woman bc she's definitely some type of nd fdghj you dont have that many texture opinions #about fabric on your skin otherwise usually fdgh)

since i just rb'd a poll abt high school grades now's probably a good time to drop one of my many million-dollar ideas for how to run a high school classroom, which is that i think that at the start of a quarter/semester kids should be asked if they want hw to count towards their grades or not bc i was So Fucking Bad at submitting hw in high school, but my test scores were really good, so i'd rather have not had hw count towards my grades. but obviously there are a good number of kids who are either bad at taking tests or anxious abt their grades dropping and are diligent abt turning in hw, so letting hw count towards their grades would give them some padding in that situation.

#i really Do need to just maintain a doc of all my ideas for how to run a classroom #bc i've been storing some of these in my brain since i was like 12. that's a fucking decade by this point What the hell #the worm speaks #unfortunately it's probably unfeasible to Not have tests n the like count towards a grade at all #like personally as a student i do not hate testing!! as someone who enjoys gathering data / information i'm kind of obsessed w/it!!!#but i also have very strong opinions on TEST DESIGN as well as curriculum design n stuff #like tests CAN be a useful tool for measuring knowledge! if you design it right. and even then it's like. not perfect #one of my other million dollar ideas is that rather than giving out a final i'd give kids the choice to either do like #a freeform project to demonstrate their knowledge in literally Any Way They Want (foster creativity n stuff)#or! they could also just take a paper exam if they want. idk if anyone would take that option but idk.#mostly i'm just fond of the idea of giving high school students a sense of autonomy over their grades n education #like another reason why i think the 'do you want hw to count to your grades?' question should be re-asked at the start of quarters or w/e #is bc sometimes we also make mistakes! and evaluate consequences wrong. or situations change!! so they should be allowed to change things #how much would hw count for if they made it worth anything is honestly not smth i'm sure abt rn tbh #but i also know that i like. would also not even grade their hw on correctness just on completion anyway #a number of my high school teachers did that; bc the point was that we were responsible for ensuring its correctness #they all knew that kids would copy off each other and if that's how you learn. go for it!! my ap calc teacher openly acknowledged this!!!#anyway good lord i really do have limitless rants n tedtalks abt education in me lmao i need to sleebies now #so i can study for my calc quiz tmrw morning ( •̀ ω •́ )y

Mona's mom is probably in prison and fuck your boundaries, I hope you get brutalized in the future

Those are some bold words for someone who tried to gaslight me with plagiarized words and didn't even have the decency to deny it, even when the server admin from who you stole the paragraph - back from when she was politely warning you about your toxic behavior in dms - has directly confronted you about it.

I know you can't stand losing to the point where you show your worst colors the second anyone disagrees with you (something you've been called out for consistently by multiple people, on top of general rudeness), but this is an L you're just going to have to accept taking lmao.

It was never about Mona's mom or how close to the truth your crude takes were or not, it has always been about your rancid behavior and self-absorbed attitude with which said takes are always presented. You barged into my post and dropped an insulting assumption in the comments about a hypothetical character the post wasn't even about, then made an ass of yourself when I pointed out that it's rude to do that.

The fact that you're completely failing to acknowledge this and instead try to shift the blame - once again - away from you and proceeed to resort to threaten me with violence is just proving that for me.

I don't normally respond to hateful asks like this, but there is also rarely a person that has proven to be as deserving of my ire and being told exactly how much is wrong with them and their behavior as you.

And you hate me because I see through your manipulative bully tactics and call them out plain as day.

Note by the way, please, how not once I have resorted to childish name-calling in this entire post and yet made my distaste for you abundantly clear? That's the difference between me and you.

I understand and acknowledge the risks and consequences of my actions, think and reflect about what I'm saying and how it affects people, how both can and will be used against me if the opportunity presents itself, how to handle it when it does. I will admit when I've made a mistake and do what I can to rectify it, or at least take steps to try and prevent it from happening again in the future. I'm not perfect and I make mistakes, but I at least try to be better.

You don't. You talk shit and get mad when you get hit. Then keep doing the same thing, again and again.

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe being more observant, honest and mindful will actually get you the kind of validation you crave? And yet you keep tricking, keep manipulating, keep bullying your way through life, to get what you want.

I feel almost sorry for you, honestly. Whoever taught you that that's the way to go has done you dirty, because there's just no way in my mind how anyone as vapid and manipulative as you as her go-to strategy in life would be capable of forming genuine, lasting bonds.

#chubs answers #hate asks #long post #btw not surprised that you sent this in on april fools just so you have something to fall back on in case someone confronts you abt it #you've always been a slippery manipulative coward who has strong opinions she never actually sticks up for when pressed on #but there was really no need to confront you with it since you might as well have signed this with your full name with how obvious it was #and a violent threat of this calibre can't be ''it was just a joke''d away anyways #jfyi before you start thinking that I was the one that swung the ban hammer here or whatever #I never told anyone what to do - I only showed the ask I received and that I'm fairly certain you're the one behind it and asked for input #and the admin agreed bc she was there when the situation referenced in the ask has unfolded - it can't have been anyone else #and bc we don't want bullies and harassers on our server and also looked at the amounts of warnings you've already gotten #we've collectively decided that it's for the better of everyone on the server if you leave #the ban came when you talked one of your pals into giving you another invite link instantly after getting kicked #even though we've asked everyone to refrain from doing so for the sake of server safety after raid warnings #and you then proceeded to make an alt account to try and trick the admin into giving you another one when that didn't work #good riddance I say
