romantic dreams

pairing: elliot x fem!reader

warnings: swearing and drug usage.

request: i was wondering if you could do elliot x reader where he and the reader are dating and she’s a poster child like miley cyrus was in her hannah montana days.

a/n: i really had no direction in this, but i hope you enjoy babes!

words: 603 + not proofread

so why wait to discover your dream? now is your chance.

Fez blinked.

that’s all he could do.

“so you dating the Disney chick?” he asked as Rue rolled up beside Elliot.

Elliot’s eyes shot up from the blunt before they focused on Fez’s blank gaze. he nodded at him. he knew Fez had seen them dip off at the party a few weeks ago.

“uh…yeah?” he answered before his eyes flicked down to see Rue still trying to roll.

“so don’t that mean like…” Fez started before stopping and thinking. “like you need to not do drugs. i hear them industry plants have it bad when it comes to their image.” he questioned as Rue finally finished rolling.

Fez tossed Elliot the lighter so he could light it. the lighters fire brightened up Elliot’s face before disappearing.

“i do drugs in private for a reason. not openly in front of everyone at a party.” Elliot explained. his thoughts drifted off as he thought back to New Years.

he had locked you and him in the laundry room the best he could as he did a line off your chest.

“their role model pretty princess is getting ruined at some weak ass party instead of going over her lines.” Elliot smiled, bending up from your chest to stare at you.

“…I guess these are the wrong lines huh?” you laughed before kissing him.

“so like do her label or whatever not know she’s dating someone.” Fez asked breaking through Elliot’s train of thought.

Rue nodded before handing the blunt to Elliot.

“yeah Eli…fuck the drugs. you have face tattoo’s. they let that shit slide?” Rue asked him.

he came to get high, not interrogated.

“you two hear enough stories to know nobody in that realm knows we’re together.” Elliot said while blowing out a cloud of smoke.

“once she’s done with that kiddy shit and doing like…some horror movie or some other shit though? she’s out of that contract? we’re definitely going public.” he said sitting up to hand Fez the blunt. Fez nodded as he took a hit.

“headlines gonna read, “once beloved child actress and face tatted beau party in Cuba” or some wild ass shit.” Rue laughed and Elliot snickered with her.

Faye suddenly stumbled into the room, tripping over her own feet.

“u-uh you two sell to actresses?!” Faye slightly yelled with her eyes wide. her chest was heaving, her skin was flushed, and her shirt was dirty.

either she had been running or being weird again.

Ash came in right after with you in tow, rolling his eyes at the blonde. “no bitch. we sell to her boyfriend.” he said as you crossed the threshold and grabbed the blunt from Fez.

“bro…” Fez said looking at Ashtray. “be nice.”

Ash walked away with a huff and you sat right beside Elliot, pulling your legs in his lap as he started to rub them.

“i do date the actress.” he laughed as Faye stared at you two with her mouth open.

“you still watch Disney?” you asked her. when she nodded you rose a brow at her. “my shows corny as hell, are you okay?”

“she obviously not okay. she living here.” Rue mumbled.

“you wrong for that shit.” you said while placing the blunt between Elliot’s lips, waiting for him to pull so you could kiss him through the smoke.

“i need to lay down.” Faye said before leaving the room.

“yeah…” Fez said as she walked away.

“that girl needs help.”

“no for real because i’m in the show, and you can’t pay me to watch it.”

Children's TV shows and ships are f*cking annoying. It's like they're so afraid to satisfy either end, because someone will be unhappy. But they never make the right choice. All these writers must be on something, I swear.

Tori and Beck. Do not tell me you grew up watching the show and didn't ship them together. I remember only tuning in for the premier because the trailer had the clip of Tori and Beck kissing in the first episode. I could feel the chemistry radiating from those 2 seconds, and was just waiting for Beck and Jade to break up throughout the whole show. And when they finally do, they get back together BECAUSE OF TORI. Like wtf??!!! Tori had to be nice to Jade, and for what?! Jade obviously knew Beck and Tori liked each other, but she just had to have Beck. Like I'm pretty sure Beck got back together with Jade, because Tori couldn't "do that to Jade".

Ricky and Gina. This ship is still developing but I have a serious suspicion that they're gonna be the ship that could've been, because the writers are too afraid to hurt some 11 year old's feelings. They're gonna tease them throughout the show, only to have them end up with other people without full closure. I can see it already.

Carly and Freddie. AGAIN. Another HEALTHY relationship, a term that these writers don't seem to understand. They had to get rid of them and put Sam and Freddie together. AGAIN, for what?! So young kids can see that relationships are supposed to involve abuse and constant bickering, but it's okay because it's love??? Hello???? I'm just glad that with this one they broke up, and the Freddie and Carly plot seems to be moving forward in the reboot. Thank God they have a chance at redemption...

Maddie and Diggy. WHY?! JUST WHY?!

The only shows that ever did it right were Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place. Miley realized that Jake was a piece of shit. And Alex ended up with a guy who genuinely cared about her, and Dean never showed up again. Like, WHY DO THEY NEED TO MAKE IT COMPLICATED?! It's simple. Simple. Ugh. Can someone just hire me as a writer? I'll do it for almost nothing. I don't need the money, I just want to make people happy.

Also feel free to rant about any other show you can remember from your childhood that absolutely ruined themselves with the horrendous romance plots.

I myself am a lesbian and I find the things Taylor says, sings and does leads me to believe she’s a lesbian. But as we all know she could be anywhere on the spectrum. This is what I feel from what I’ve seen, read and heard. Too many bells ding for me. Why does is seem so hard to think she’s deep bearding with Joe? Maybe he’s actually single and needs the recognition? Maybe they are both single and each serves a purpose. I’ve just never seen one picture that makes me feel like Joe is a long term love of her life. When you really love someone, the way you look at them is different and I’ve never seen that look from either of them. And I personally don’t think she’s with anyone or at least anyone we’ve seen. I think most people believe she’s Bi but I think it goes deeper than that.

well i keep hearing from people in the industry that she fucks both men and women. she also posed with the bi pride flag a lot during lover era and the pan flag once. imo she was definitely with joe jonas (not in a serious way but she pissed and shit herself publicly being upset that they broke up) jake g (heard it from an industry friend who witnessed something that could only be them being legitimately together), calvin (heard it from everyone lmao and he toured with her and sent snapchats from her bed) and joe (heard it from people who roll with her friends + she is literally always with him) oh i also heard this funny and believable story that she and miley fought over a guy on the set of the hannah montana movie.

you can’t tell what people are thinking simply by looking at pictures of them. i don’t wanna come off as harsh but i mean come on they might just be annoyed they’re being photographed. but at any rate i’ve seen plenty of pictures of them where joe and taylor look very cute and couply together to me. and i do not have a lot of love for that ship at all i was downright annoyed to get tea it was real from a good source.

what i think is weird is that you think she’s a lesbian but you’re making me discuss the boys. i’m so tired of discussing the guys lately. who cares what she is? who cares which boyfriends were real or not? how would we ever even know for sure? it is so boring to talk about men 😩 but imo reality dictates she’s really been with them.

who cares what her sexuality is as long as we all agree it ain’t straight? and honestly who cares about the boring white men she dates? who cares if they’re real or fake or in between?

Do you prefer Starbucks coffee or small cafe coffee? It’s never mattered to me where I get my coffee; I don’t tend to be sensitive or picky about the taste unless it’s overly bitter. That said, I do like to frequent Starbucks just because it’s ubiquitous and has the vibe I look for to boot.

Would you ever consider getting a piercing in your septum? Probably not; I’m not too big on getting more piercings.

Do you enjoy being outdoors? Not so much that I could consider it a personality trait, but it is nice to be out every once and a while especially now that we stay in square one everyday.

What’s your opinion on today’s celebrities? You know I had always thought I was always going to have a good grasp of celebrities, but now I find myself completely unaware of who the younger ones are. Like I’d fail a Gen Z celebrity test, without a doubt lmao. As for opinions... hmm. I’m not really big on how a lot of them got famous only because they did or said stupid shit that they were lucky enough to get clout for. A lot also seem to want to act a decade older than they actually are.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be the opposite sex? Only to have a glimpse of how it’s like to not be discriminated against on a daily basis.

Gay marriage: love is love or a horrible stand against God? Idk man it’s just a very natural thing to me that people should be able to marry someone of their own sex. < ???? Exactly, like?? It’s so simple?

If you could change your name to anything, what would it be? I’d probably take the bait for this if you asked me this when I was like, 5. But it would be weird to go by a completely different time 23 years in.

Do people tell you that you have an accent? Not really. Filipino English isn’t strong nor distinct.

Have you ever had an eating disorder? Nope.

Do you feel awkward around large groups of people? If I don’t know anybody in the group I might start to feel awkward, maybe even a little anxious.

How many times have you been to a zoo? Once.

Do you prefer road trips or traveling on an airplane? I love both but I’ll go with airplanes just because I associate it with farther places; and the farther I travel, the more excited I feel.

Do you cuss? Yes.

Do you enjoy watching fireworks on the 4th of July? I don’t celebrate that.

What’re some unspeakable subjects for you? I used to never ever want to mention Lui making a move on me while I was in a relationship because I hated how it hurt my ex and I hate how betrayed I felt by Lui who was well aware of the fact that I had a girlfriend. But I’m single now, so it’s not as big of a deal as it used to be.

What’s your opinion of root beer? I don’t really have an opinion on it. I’ve never tried it and have no interest to.

Do you like roller coasters? No.

Which is better: being single or being in a relationship? I dunno. I have things I like and don’t like about both.

Is there anyone you would take a bullet for? Yeah, pretty much anyone I love.

Do you enjoy tanning? Not really relevant to me since I’m already naturally tan.

What’s your favorite word in any language? I think the word ‘haneul’ sounds super pretty. It means sky in Korean.

Are you a virgin? No.

Have you ever seen The Breakfast Club and what’s your opinion of it? I saw it when I was like 16 and thought it was kinda boring but pretended to like it just because it was a hipster thing to do. < Literally same. Couldn’t have put it into words any better.

Have you ever touched a dead body? Hm. I don’t think so. Yeah, no I haven’t haha.

When, where and with whom was your first kiss? It was on my bed, with my ex, six years ago.

Do you consider yourself overweight or underweight? I’m a little underweight.

What’s your opinion of Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montana? I don’t know. I hope she’s happy. < Me too. I really don’t understand the unnecessary irritation towards her.

Did you have a Furby when you were younger? Nope.

If you had a baby girl, what would you name her? I dunno. I still feel like sticking to either Olivia or Mia as my top picks though.

If you had a baby boy, what would you name him? I’m blanking out.

Did or do you get good grades in English class? Yep, both in grammar and lit classes even though I didn’t super enjoy the latter.

What part of your body are you self-conscious about? Teeth.

Would you shave your head for a million dollars? Yes.

Ranked: Hannah Montana — Premieres

Welcome to Hannah Montana March Madness! This month, I’ll be doing Rankings, Analyses, and reblogging various posts that I like for Hannah Montana. Tbh, this was my favorite Disney Channel show growing up, but I haven’t really talked about it yet. And what better place to start than with literal beginnings? A.K.A, Premieres. So here we go.

Before we begin, I want to explain my criteria a little bit for what I think makes a great Premiere. A Premiere episode can be merely decent or good based on the basics of quality alone: good acting, good directing, tight editing, tight script, humor and/or drama that hits where it’s supposed to. That is one of my criteria, but I like my Premieres to be just a little more ambitious than that. The best Premieres:

Establish the tone, setting, and premise for the season

Introduce an important change, shift, or moment in the series that sets the season apart and/or make it clear to the audience why we’re starting where we are

Establish and/or re-establish the characters and characterization— the characters should still feel like themselves, and shouldn’t act too differently from how they act in other episodes, but they should still feel like they’re developing throughout the show, particularly if that development is directly related to the Important Change mentioned above

Stand out from the season in a way that doesn’t feel jarring or out of place— it should feel like a part of its own season, while also setting itself apart in a positive and memorable way

One last thing: I’m going to be listing these in reverse-order of how much I liked them: Worst->Best. That way, I can save the best for last. I should probably mention too that I don’t really hate any of these episodes (we’ll get into some of those later), but I will be mentioning what does and doesn’t work for me and why I ranked them how I did.

Let’s get to it!

#4: “Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?” (Season One)

This is a tough one for me. On one hand, I have so much love for this episode and so much nostalgia for it. On the other hand, now that I’ve grown up, I have to admit that it’s lacking in terms of quality and cohesion with the season. While it does mark an Important Change in the characters’ status quo (Lilly finding out Miley’s secret), it also feels a little too different from the episodes that come after it.

At this point, everyone was still finding their footing, and it shows. The actors were still learning how to act and how to get along with each other, the writers were still figuring out who these characters were, costume and setting were still being worked out, and it has one of the biggest (and funniest) editing mistakes I’ve ever seen put to air. I may elaborate on this in a deep-dive post on the subject at a later time, but suffice to say, they just weren’t there yet. They didn’t quite hit their stride with Season 1 until their third episode (which is actually a personal favorite, but again, I’ll save that for later), and while they do keep the same basic elements of the characters and a few key details from this episode, everyone feels a little bit off here in a way that’s just too noticeable for me to ignore.

That said, judging it as a Premiere might be a bit unfair of me, because this is a Pilot episode. And a Pilot episode really only has one job, as far as showrunners are concerned: to get the show up and running and on the air. So in that sense, I’ll always love this episode for doing what it was meant to do: setting up the show and making sure it got off the ground. And hey, if the worst thing I can say about a Pilot episode is that the show that came after it was so much better, that’s a testament to how important it was to have a Pilot good enough to get picked up in the first place.

#3: “He Ain’t a Hottie, He’s My Brother” (Season Three)

This one beats the Pilot in terms of quality, consistency, and characterization. The show’s been established for some time now, so the acting, camerawork, and directing work a lot better as they’ve gotten more comfortable, and it’s consistent in the sense that it does feel like it fits into its season (apart from The Big Thing that we’ll get into in just a minute). It also does feel fairly in-character for the most part— I genuinely get the sense that if they were making Lackson canon, this is probably how it would go down.

And with that, let’s get into the shipping, because it’s the elephant in the room. I personally don’t have strong feelings either way about Lackson as a ship, I think Lilly and Jackson would work fine together, I do personally prefer them as a friendship and pseudo-brother/sister dynamic, but I don’t have a huge aversion to them from an in-universe standpoint. I do think there are logistical and ethical issues from a real-life standpoint given the ages of the actors at the time, but good news everyone! None of it ends up mattering anyway! It was all a dream. Problem solved, right?

Yeah, no. Here’s the thing: All Just A Dream is already an eyeroll-worthy trope in a random filler episode. And while it’s not quite as infuriating in a Premiere as it is in a Finale, it is frustrating. This episode Goes There in establishing a Big Change that could change the direction of the show… and then pulls an “oops, never mind!” at the last minute. Which is really not a strong way to start your season.

The even more baffling part of choosing to start the season this way is, the episode after it is “Ready, Set, Don’t Drive,” which is both a solid episode and establishes a change in the status quo that actually sticks: Miley’s 16 now, which means she can drive herself around now. This is good for the themes of Season 3 as Miley is gaining more independence and becoming an adult, so why not just start there? (Then again, the episode after that is “Don’t Go Breaking My Tooth,” and she says, “I’ll be driving soon” and has Jackson take her, so was that episode meant to go before it? I find that episode to be much weaker, so I do think “He Ain’t A Hottie” was the better choice between those two, but in terms of meeting my Premiere criteria, both of those options leave a lot to be desired.)

The other strong choice for a Premiere would be “You Never Give Me My Money,” as it deals with those same themes of Miley growing up, and she gains independence through access to (some of) her Hannah money, and that’s yet another change to the status quo that actually sticks. So, between that and the driving episode, it’s just odd to me that they chose to start their season with an episode dedicated to a ship that doesn’t actually happen, particularly a season where a different ship later does. (There is perhaps a little foreshadowing there in that Miley sees Lilly having feelings for someone close to her that she never expected her to fall for, and has to learn how to be okay with that, but honestly, I’m not even sure if they were 100% planning to “go there” with Loliver at this point, or if this was just something they were considering now that the characters were getting older.)

If this were just a filler, Fanservice episode, I could probably live with that. I just wish that they hadn’t started with it, because starting your opening episode with “Just kidding, it was all a dream!” establishes a tone where nothing is real and the stakes don’t matter. (Which unfortunately, also popped up a lot in Season 3, but I wouldn’t consider that a change for the better.)

#2: “Sweet Home Hannah Montana” (Season Four)

This high up? I know. I was surprised, too. But believe it or not, this episode actually works really well as a Premiere: it establishes a new setting and an Important Change (the Stewarts move into a new house, a large ranch where Miley can be with her horse and feel like she’s back in Tennessee while still being in California and getting to live with Lilly), it sets itself apart from the seasons before it, everyone’s in-character, and it stands out and feels like a First Episode of a Finale Season while still blending into the season as a whole.

There is one thing from this that doesn’t stick from one episode to the next, but I do believe it’s established in a way that we always knew that part wasn’t going to stick. We knew Miley and Lilly were not going to spend an entire season trapped in a kiddie bedroom, and a large part of the plot revolves around them making sure they don’t. The audience is under no false pretenses here about what is and isn’t a permanent change. They’ve left their old house behind for good, and the new house setting is here to stay— they’re just working out some of the details.

Comedy-wise and quality-wise, I can definitely see this not being the strongest episode just as an episode. I do think the beginning of Season 4 suffered from the decline that had begun to affect the show, and it was doing its best to pull together a decent season and an ending that worked for the show and characters while dealing with a lot behind the scenes and a lot of fatigue from actors and writers alike. While I don’t think Season 4 begins nearly as strongly as it ends, I do think this is a fairly solid and logical beginning, and does the “soft reboot” for the show that I believe they were going for.

#1: “Me and Rico Down by the Schoolyard” (Season Two)

Honestly, this was never even a question for me. Strong as a Premiere, strong as an episode, high quality, stakes, humor, this episode starts the season on a high note, both feeling like it naturally and seamlessly blends into the episodes after it, and feeling distinctive on its own.

Two big changes to the series are established: Miley starts high school, and Rico becomes a series regular. Not only do these mark a change for the new season, they mark a change for the series as a whole, as both of these changes are maintained from here until the end of the show (although, admittedly, it’d be hard to avoid her going to high school, so that was pretty much inevitable).

Not only do the characters feel like themselves, this is also the first time in the series Rico messes with someone other than Jackson, and establishes himself as an antagonist proper for the show. This isn’t the first time Miley and Rico have interacted, but it is the first time she knows exactly who she’s dealing with, and she deals with him the only way she knows how: confrontation, scheming, a little help from her friends, and in the end, a moment of raw honesty. Speaking of her friends, they’re on-point too— Oliver’s fake muscles, the callback to his “locker doctor” skills, Lilly being supportive and sassy to Miley and Oliver in equal measure, and all the interactions with the monkey are sheer perfection.

There is a “fakeout” moment in terms of the secret, but that was properly set up as well— we knew Miley bringing her teddy bear to school was still a secret, and one that would still affect her status at the school, just… not as much, and not in the same way. While it would have been interesting to see how Rico would’ve reacted to finding out the real secret (at this point in the show), we also hadn’t established enough of how he felt towards both Miley and Hannah for it to make much of an impact yet, and at this point he hadn’t developed enough as a character for him to believably let something that big go. Sure, maybe he would’ve in that moment, but he probably would’ve still tried to use the knowledge in the future, so ultimately, I think it’s for the best that he didn’t know the truth about Hannah after all.

I haven’t gotten into subplots so much on this list, but it works well on that level, too. Jackson has an understandable and relatable conflict regarding the new kid, and he too has to choose between his status and his conscience. He too struggles but ultimately makes the right choice… and a new friend. Robby Ray dishes out good advice after a “dorky dad” moment, as per usual. Everyone is so them and so perfectly them in this episode that I might actually count this as one of the best episodes in the series, let alone their best Premiere by a long shot.

In any case, I can’t think of a better way to start a season, or a better note to end on for my first, but certainly not last, Ranked post for Hannah Montana, and for this blog as a whole. Stay tuned this month, more is just around the corner. I can’t wait to show you all!

Right now the world is going thru huge events that'll probably change alot of things and hopefully it's all for the better. However I feel like I'm stuck in a neverending loop trying to decide whether or not I'm ready to let my world change. Some of you may already know I'm not straight...I'm bisexual or pansexual...I'm not really sure what to label myself I just know that I'm not straight. And it took me almost 18 years of my life to figure it out and when I did I sort of just broke down. I spent most of my life holding back this huge thing from myself and that was just insane. I wasn't straight and I didn't know what to do next. For the next three years only I knew I wasn't straight and it was killing me. I felt lost, so I decided to tell three of my sisters. They didn't believe me at first because I had always been pretty vocal about the type of guy I liked or what guy I had a crush on. It didn't make sense that I liked girls, trans people, or nonbinary people (etc), because I never said anything. The reason I never said anything was because I just didnt know. After it finally settled in they were very accepting. I felt just a bit more relaxed. Someone other than me knew...I felt free. So I began to feel more comfortable with letting more people know I wasn't straight. Unfortunately that didn't mean I was completely free. I'm very much still in the closet. In fact more than half the people I know dont know I'm not straight. I'm scared. I don't want to be outed or hated by people I hold very close to my heart. I dont want people to look at me differently. My family doesn't even know that I'm bi or pan or something. Only 3 of my 8 siblings know. My parents don't know. I was planning on coming out to them either after graduating college or when I moved out but right now my family is crashing down around me. Maybe I should just wait a bit more...even if it hurts. It's pride month and I read so many stories about people going through similar situations and I wish it wasnt this way. I wish I could just say it and not have to watch my back if I make a "gay" comment (whatever that means) or something like that. I dont want people to try and fix me....and I know they'll try. Anyway, I liked this girl a while back and I wanted to ask her out but she was out and proud. I wasn't. I didn't want her to think I was ashamed of her. I didn't want to hide her. She was perfect and deserved better then what I could offer. I couldn't out myself just yet. It hurt. I'm doing this weird version of a gay Hannah Montana and I think it's starting to crush me. I don't know what I'm going to do but I just needed to let it out before I imploded. I dont know if I'll keep this post up or if anyone will care to read this long mess. But thank you if you did and hopefully I'll rip my hannah wig off sooner than miley did.

Why is it hard for people to be themselves in the industry? And does the industry allow it?

I will admit I have been sleeping on Ed Sheeran and not just his music, but him in general. He is one of the few artist that is successfully himself. He put out his recent album No.9 Collaboration.

Not only does he take different direction in music for himself he collaborates with numerous artist to create a DJ Khaled style album. However, he puts his own spin on the style. He ACTUALLY sings on them unlike DJ (subtle drag).

I want to talk about the question in the title though.... If you’re here because you follow the page, care about the industry and educating yourself more on how it works, or you just stumbled upon it.... Welcome! I’m not the most knowledgable, but who is?

Recently Ed did an interview with Charlamagne tha God, for typing sake we will refer to him as CTG, ok? ok. The interview is basically a commentary for the project in video format. CTG asks him a question referring to the project, track by track, and Ed answers the question. He discusses lyrics and the meaning behind the people he chose to work with. One section of the interview was interesting though and immediately caught my attention.

youtube

The specific thing I’ll be talking about is found around 34:50-36:04 . Ed talks about Beautiful People ft Khalid. In that conversation he speaks about how much he hated living LA and NY because of the fact that there was always something going on. There was always a party or an event that was happening. It was/is a constant cycle.

This immediately made me think about Real Friends by Camila Cabello. Which in the lyrics she talks about LA and the idea of it being a paper town where everything is just for show. This is when things got interesting.

CTG asked Ed, “Why is it hard for people to be themselves in the industry? And does the industry allow it?”

Ed answered the question from his personal experience and I really loved it. He goes on to talk about how it is possible and there is a space for it in the industry, but that person would have to be successful as themself. Basically if you put on an act you can still be successful, but it’s tricky to get out of.

By that and what he said afterwards I can assume he means you can definitely be successful as something else, but once you realize maybe you aren’t happy acting like someone you're not its hard to get yourself out the situation.

So now this poses a completely separate question of if someone goes into the industry young and impressionable do they get to decide?

Fifth Harmony (the girls involved), Miley Cyrus, even Justin Bieber for example they came into everything young. Miley was acting and had this Disney image to breakout of as well as many other Disney stars. At some point she had her moment of wanting to be Miley not Hannah and so she went and made noise the only way she knew how. With her music. She changed her style and how she was perceived to the public so she could break out of that mold. Now her numbers may not be the same, and she may not top the charts all the time or as often, but she found her own definition of success.

Justin Bieber, he came into the industry really early as well. Most people hated him at first. He had an annoying girly voice (they said). He has topped the charts his ENTIRE career and even when he comes back and does something like go on stage at Coachella with Ariana Grande or feature on a song with Ed it’s huge. That’s just the person he is. However, during the Purpose era til now he had this big moment of I want to do what makes me happy. So he got married and does features here and there. Does he still cause the occasional trouble? Absolutely, but he had his moment. He has taken a break to get his actual life on track. Music isn't about the money or the numbers anymore he wants a family and to do what he loves with the people he loves.

Now 5h that's tricky. This situation is completely out of pocket. I have to take it a part. This group was first of all not formed because they were all close friends who knew the others could sing. This was manufactured. They signed contracts and are wrapped up in stuff that would take a lot of words to explain and I just don't feel like it. I’ll mince the words up though.

Camila and Lauren were always the ones who were seen as the success of the group. Basically the Beyonce and Kelly, if you will. Ally, Normani, and Dinah were theoretically being thrown to the dogs (tragic). Where the label Syco/Sony saw weakness they saw something else. Those three are now doing their own thing. Out of their contracts and making music they like. They didn’t have the big moment per say rather they couldn’t leave on their own, but they have the opportunity now.

Lauren and Camila are a different story though.

Most people know the rumors Camila maybe gay or bi idk her story but that's the guideline. Even the gp is picking up on that .... but I digress.

Lauren was able to come out as Bi after being told in short terms, maybe lets hold off. Some people in her family even advised her against it. But here we are. Homegirl hasn’t popped on the charts yet. Don’t comment that she has because GP barely heard Expectations. RELAX. Its the truth.

My point is she is getting new management and MAYBE...... she will be able to find her definition of success with music she makes and has say in. She was labeled the more rebellious one of the group and it has already been interesting to watch her grow. She has a huge interest in politics and advocating for people who don’t have as a big a voice as hers. She uses her voice for good and I admire that a lot. This is one of her hopefully many steps to being the person she wants to be.

Now Camila...... I don’t even know. I’m confused. She has a lot going on right now. There’s definitely honesty in her music and she seems genuine. Ed even talks about her in his interview. He said she is very sweet, talented, and genuinely a nice girl..... It throws me off. The narrative that her team gives her or really anyone who isn't able to be authentically themselves in the industry. It’s really crazy when you think about it like this.

She just wants to make music. She’s honest about her life experiences in interviews. Yeah she doesn't say everything, but nobody would. She’s not chasing the fame I don't think. I think the people behind her are though. She really looks exhausted half the time she's on tour or promoting something. Don’t even get me started on the Shawn thing.

If it was genuine I don't think they would be parading it around. Don’t come at me in the comments either with the “you don’t know her”. I am more than aware that I don't, however the things people say about her makes it seem as though she is a woman of her word (when they aren't written for her of course). So when she says she wants to keep her relationships private, if she can, I truly believe that. When she said that Shawn is like her brother, and talks about the kind of love she's had for him previously, it’s very hard for me and many others to believe this relationship is anything more than promotion. Her choice or not.

I have nothing against them, if they are happy whatever, but the way Camila has acted in the past about things and the excitement and joy she has about basic things aren't the same excitement I’ve seen now.

Her image is the only thing that is stopping her from having that big moment. Her music is honest, real, and raw. You can tell that by the way she talks about the lyrics she writes. And the experiences behind the songs. She obviously puts all of herself into it. I just hope that she and any of the other people who are in her situation get the chance to enjoy that space that Ed talks about. A space where she can be completely herself.

I hope they find their version of success.

Of All The People... | Self-Para

She’s shocked to hear the sound of the doorbell ringing through their quaint home one Saturday morning. Liam had taken the pups for a walk around the block, and China was nesting away folding and sorting clothes she had already sorted several times before.

There’s a slight moment of confusion. China knew it wasn’t her own family because they were busy today and had already deterred her from coming over to help them write and record, so who it could have been was lost on her.

Maybe Liam forgot his keys.

She scoffs a slight laugh at the thought, knowing if anyone was forgetful right now it was herself, not him. A gentle pat atop the pile of overly pink sleep suits before she waddles from the kitchen through the hall to the front door.

That’s when another, more impatient, knock is rapped against the wood.

China frowns because if it was Liam he knew she would be slow right now and to give her a moment.

The first tell-tale sign that it was someone else.

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Chi huffs softly as she makes her way to the door.

The next knock is louder now she’s behind the door, pulling a huff from her lips.

It brings great satisfaction to her when she pulls it open mid knock. That was until she saw Miley standing there, fist raised, looking pissed and holding some slip of paper in her other hand.

A beat. China looks from Miley to the floor, then back again. Goes to open her mouth and let out a pleasantry when her action is cut off by brash and quick words:

“Liam home?”

China shouldn’t be as surprised as she is, but she’s stunned, in fact. And definitely at a loss for words for a moment. Apparently a moment is too long, because there’s an impatient cough, and an expectant look. Hands protectively move to rest on her bump for a moment, allowing her head to shake, “No, he isn’t right now.”

China doesn’t miss the way eyes roll across from her. Nor the half scoff half laugh that falls from Miley’s lips.

It’s the fact blues come to settle on the curve of her stomach a moment after that that sets her on high alert. Mama Bear mode activated, as Boo would have told her. Hands subtly wrap more around herself, as if that can keep her daughter away from Miley’s gaze.

“When is he getting back?”

Chi could feel the tension thickly hanging between them, frankly, she didn’t like it. Nor did Bean who seemed to want to kick and squirm beneath her mama’s hands.

“Not too sure,” the lie came easier than China expected. Liam had only gone around the block, he’d be back soon enough, but she knew he didn’t need this today, and honestly she didn’t either. “What did you need him for?”

She knew it wouldn’t be pleasant, but if she could nip this whole situation in the bud then Liam didn’t need to know, and they could enjoy their weekend before Miley returned. At least she hoped that would be how this would work.

“Paperwork, he was meant to sign some things, look at a few agreements.”

Chi’s tongue is subconsciously kissing her teeth, her eyes squint in an analytical way. It’s a lie. Miley was hoping for more. Otherwise she would have just sent the damn mail here instead of showing up, “thought you two were sending that by mail.” It shouldn’t sound as sceptical as it does, at least, China hadn’t wanted it to.

“I did.” Now Miley’s own teeth are gritted, “but he doesn’t seem to be home to get it most of the time.”

Lips pull into a mock ‘o’ shape for a second.

Of course, it had been sent to his LA home, and they hadn’t been there for two months now. It wasn’t much of a home anyway, not compared to this. The nice garden out front where the pups and Bean could play, or the rooms carefully decorated and adorned by the pair of them. Nothing could feel more like home (Except Wyoming, but that was a whole different set of thoughts).

“I guess we got side tracked.” A soft shrug, hands still so protective on herself, because that gaze fell back to the bump again and then Miley scowled as she looked at the house. How dare she do that.

“I can see,” it’s the not even masked disgust in her tone that sets China off.

“Don’t,” her own gaze is steely and stern, still standing in the doorway, not moving to invite Miley in or close the door in her face, “Don’t you dare look like that.”

It’s the laugh that makes her blood begin to boil. Followed by the condescending, “Didn’t look at you in any way, honey.”

China glares, because as much as there was an age gap here, it was a different time and she wasn’t some eight year old all heart eyed and amazed on Hannah Montana’s set any longer. “Don’t ‘honey’ me.”

Miley’s hands raise defensively but she is still smirking as she takes a step back from the doorstep. Scanning the house over with her gaze once again. “Didn’t picture him as a small home kinda guy,” another laugh, this time more malicious than the last.

Maybe that’s just because you were in it for the money, she thinks for a second, doesn’t dare let it leave her lips. “People can surprise you,” China settles on after a second, because it sounded so much better.

Of course it is met with an eyebrow raise and a look of disbelief. “Yeah, right.” Eyes roll as China finds a new focus of looking down at the ground in front of her bump, “you know he didn’t want this,”

Brown orbs glance up to take in a hand motion that encompassed everything. Her. Their baby. Their home. It took all her will to not move across the lawn and slap the bitch, a hard bite on her lip because it helped to keep the tears at bay.

”You did a great job of trapping him into it though. Made him fall for domestic bliss he never wanted.” Another laugh, bitter and harsh, “you must feel guilty knowing you’ve taken everything he ever wanted and ruined it. Now he’s stuck here with you,” China had done an excellent job of holding herself back, but it was the second part that was added that sent her into a frenzy, “and that thing.”

No one, and she meant no one, would ever get away with looking at her daughter the way Miley did with such hatred and disgust in her gaze.

She doesn’t think as she crosses the threshold of their house out onto the lawn now, hand raised, ready to cuss someone out.

“Who do you think you are?” China’s shouting now, but is cut off by the tell tale sound of a bark. A familiar one.

It must have been only a moment later that Liam comes running down the street and up their pathway, Delta and Dora at his side. “What is happening here?” He’s raising his voice over hers.

“You get no right to waltz over here and try to say you’re better than us.” Chi still shouts now, and she’s moving closer. If she wasn’t pregnant she swore mentally Miley would have her ass handed to her by now.

Of course, it never got that far. Before Chi knew it Liam was between the two of them, passing her the two dog leashes and telling her to go back inside while he handled this.

Just great.

“You’ve handled it for long enough, Liam, now it’s my turn to deal with this,” Chi tried to protest, but there wasn’t much moving past him to get toward Miley no matter how she moved.

Two strong hands are on her shoulders, and blues look into deep browns in an effort to calm her. “China, I’ve got this. Please, go inside.”

She has to bite her tongue, because the argument was there and waiting to happen, but it doesn’t leave her lips. Instead she sighs. Nods. And waddles in taking the pups with her. She doesn’t miss Delta’s growl at Miley on her way past.

China doesn’t want to close the door, but forces herself to do so, because whatever was about to be said she was sure Liam would tell her later anyway. Unleashing the two dogs, she waddled back to the kitchen and filled their waters up, petting both of their heads tenderly.

That was the first sign of something not being right. The pain shot up and around her back and to her stomach faster than she realised. Chi doubled over the counter, holding her breath for a moment.

After a few deep breaths it ebbed away, so she straightened back up and went to get some water for herself. A gentle lecture of, “Hey, Bean, lay off okay? We’re fine. You’re safe. Dad’s taking care of it all,” but it seemed to fall on deaf ears, for a few moments later it happened once again.

China knew something was wrong, that whatever this was wasn’t the normal aches and pains she had been feeling, and after everything that happened, it worried her more.

She also didn’t need to interrupt the yelling she could hear outside of the house. So she settles. Awkwardly on the staircase facing the door, breathing deeply, waiting for Liam’s return.

There’s no real idea of how much time has passed, but Dora and Delta do come to lie down at her feet after a while, looking concerned, and eventually the door opens, too.

You could tell instantly that he was pissed, jaw set, a frustrated fist against the wood of the door as he closes it loudly behind himself.

“I’m so sorry,” Chi lets out, worried he’s frustrated at her. She knows differently the moment his features relax and he moves to kneel in front of her, taking her hands in his.

“Nothing to apologise for. She shouldn’t have shown up like that or said anything rude about you or the baby.”

China nods, looks down at their connected hands, and sighs.

“Now, come on. We were going to have a nice day while you were off, let’s make some food and watch some movies.”

She smiles tenderly, but her eyebrows are still pulled together in a pained way, “I wish we could,” her hand squeezes his at his confused look, “But something isn’t right. I keep getting pains.” China explains, trying to stay calm because she really doesn’t need him panicking right now.

“It’s early, she’s not-”

China moves to cut him off with a kiss to his lips, “I know, but it is what it is. Let’s go and see what’s happening.”

She stays seated on the stairs as he moves around her, grabbing a bag China had packed weeks ago now, and a few things for himself, before making sure there were masks and some sanitiser. Before long he’s helping her to stand, and they’re making their way out to the car with a careful, “Behave you two, we will be back soon,” to the confused looking pups.

It’s during the drive to the hospital that China lets the fear be replaced by excitement. The thought they may actually meet their baby girl soon was actually something she was looking forward to, even with all the pain.

But, of course, it wasn’t meant to be.

There’s a wait she isn’t comfortable with, and some nerve-wracking tests, but at least Liam is allowed to be at her side throughout it all.

Everything leads to just one little answer: rest.

Bean didn’t seem like she wanted to come within the next few days, but the stress had definitely done something, so no more work, no more arguments, just rest and prep for Bean to arrive.

It’s how, by that afternoon, they are on the road.

Liam’s carefully packed up the car with their things and they’re driving. Chi doesn’t know where; she’s so tired she sleeps most of the trip. It’s when she opens her eyes in the late night darkness, that she can tell exactly where they are.

Home.

Or, well home away from home.

Wyoming.

She laughs at a strong kick from Bean, a soft, “okay, I know you like it here too,” a hand rubbing over her bump as she leaves the car to find Liam bringing their things in and upstairs.

The sweetness of the moment lasts all of a second before she’s ushered to the master bedroom and told to rest more.

Chi wasn’t sure she was going to get along well with this rest thing at all.

#(of all the people... ; self para.)#(as soon as I saw you; I knew a grand adventure was about to happen | baby c.)#(their royal duchesses dora and delta.)#(the missing piece to my puzzle | liam.)

a rant about child stars who grow up

Maybe if people stopped holding these actors to childish standards once they age out of disney/nickelodean etc. there wouldn't be so much stigma around them. (I'm talking about the moms that use common sense media as a platform to complain) (I'm ranting because a lot of the comments on dove cameron's recent IG posts like really irritated me)

Idk, i think about this a lot especially with disney stars, because most of the time they're not actually "crazy", they're just 20-something year olds that act like any other 20-something year old... but the world is watching them. The problem arises when parents start acting like they have to be in character all the time.

Like lets be serious, the difference between Miley Cyrus and everyone else in their 20s is that they're life wasn't broadcast to the world. I mean, have you ever interacted with college kids? We are wild.

And it always bothered me when I was in middle school during Miley's "breakdown" when people compared her to Selena. Why? Because they both acted like the average 20-something year old. Miley was just the one that liked to party, and Selena was super chill and put together. Not every young adult goes through their 20s the same. We have layers.

And like I get the mentality of these stars being "role models" but at some point you gotta take some responsibility and teach your kid the difference between reality and the wonderful watered down world of tween sitcoms. And that the actors have whole lives outside of their jobs. And that obviously your 12 year old shouldn't act like they're 25. And it's not anyone's job to teach them that, but their parents.

My generation is the kids who were like 7-12 years old when Hannah Montana and iCarly were the hit tv shows. We are the kids that are now in our early 20s. Those were our role models. I hate using Miley as an example, but she's like the only one that gets dumped on constantly.

So, my age group, that actually grew up during Hannah Montana era. The ones that would have been potentially influenced by anything that Miley Cyrus did that could make her "role model for young children" status questionable. Yeah, we were in high school during her Bangerz phase. And now that we're in our 20s and in college, we all know that person, many of us might even be that person. I myself am not a wild person, I'm very introverted. However about 80% of the people I either know from high school, or have met so far in college, are routinely high on anything from marijuana to coke. Coke being the more extreme and everything in between is like lsd or shrooms. (Or adderall... especially adderall for college kids)

It's very easy when you're 15 to say shit like "i'll never act that way when I'm 20" and then you turn 20, and you want to start living your life freely without abiding to who your parents wanted you to be, and then suddenly it makes sense.

My old coach once said that the "freshman 15" happens because there's no one around to tell you that you can't drink a coke or mountain at 9am or have leftover pizza for breakfast. That's exactly what your 20s are like.

Like I swear any actor that has had anything to do with disney or nickelodeon, or some child/tween programming isn't allowed to grow up. Like they're not 14 anymore. They're 20 year old adults. They're going to act like they're 20, especially if they no longer work for that network or franchise. The minute they post a picture wearing a crop top all the moms from common sense media start going off about how children follow them and that they are now terrible role models.

#miley cyrus #dove cameron #selena gomez #demi lovato #ariana grande #disney channel #nickelodeon #the jonas brothers #miranda cosgrove

okay, y’all, i’ve gotta back on my tl;dr bullshit soapbox about something:

so, the other day, i was just mindlessly scrolling through my corporate & capitalist hellscape facebook™️ (i.e. LinkedIn) and came across this totally trite mostly bullshit meme that was shared by some corporate executive search man (whose name i decided to crop out bc eh):

so i obviously agree with the last three points on this list, bc god yes my life would’ve been a bit better if I didn’t get all my dialogue about mental health only from teen mags and horrible portrayals in teen tv shows (and also this hellsite). and hell yeah everyone, and I mean EVERYONE needs to learn that failure is okay many situations (like failing a class in uni or school) bc everyone fails at something sometimes. and dealing with failure is HARD. and time management is something that I’m pretty sure everyone lies to fuckin hell about on their resume, bc lots of people really suck at it, myself included. so yeah. that needs to be taught. and i also agree with the “how to manage your health” point. bc thats becoming ever more prevalent and important with career burn out etc.

but entrepreneurship? people management? conflict resolution? creativity? how to manage money? public speaking? like y’all. three of those ARE taught/learned in school, who the fuck wrote this meme?

for anyone who actually paid attention in maths class, (which is probably very few people outside of the top performing classes), there WAS A WHOLE FUCKING UNIT that focuses on financial maths (in australia anyway). I ignored this unit as well as maths in general at school, bc I generally hated maths and was convinced that I was somehow never going to get a job. but i remember the gist of the overall topic and its subtopics. one subtopic teaches you how to calculate your wages in various contexts (overtime, double-time and a half, holiday payments, im pretty sure maternity leave pay was jammed in somewhere? idk if other countries would have double time & a 1/2 like australia though). another subtopic teaches you how to calculate interest on bank loans and credit rates on credit cards. a third subtopic teaches you how to calculate savings (obvs in terms of discounts in shops)....im sure there was a bit about budgeting in there somewhere? im pretty sure there were some questions were about tax payments somewhere as a subtopic enrichment exercise? but you get my gist. are these not money management skills? in some sense? like if i could find one of my old maths textbooks or old maths books i’d give an example of a question, to make my point stronger. but the problem, like i said before, is that a load of people (myself included) just zone out in maths in high school and stop trying with it. they forget what they’ve learnt, and just remember how much they hated algebra and how they’ll never use it again. maths was one hell of a fucking strong bitch, guys. but maybe i’m wrong.

creativity? excuse me? have people forgotten about art classes? drama classes? english classes? music classes? need i go on? okay don’t get me wrong, most of these classes did focus a lot on memorising quotes or facts about people (artists/writers/poets/composers/dramatists etc) or specific periods/movements in art or theatre or literature for example.... but the amazing sculptures/paintings etc people created in art for their final projects in year 12, or even in year 10 were works of their imagination. the scripts people write in drama or maybe english (if you had a fun teacher who did a screenwriting unit, for example) are creative asf. especially in year 12 when they do their major projects, where they may produce a monologue or a short movie, and then there’s a group piece. drama students might even make their own costumes for these performances. LIKE AIN’T THAT A LOT OF CREATIVITY RIGHT THERE Y’ALL????? and english. lowly old english. THEY HAVE A WHOLE FUCKING TOPIC ON CREATIVE WRITING FOR FUCKS SAKE. the original music people might create for their final projects too in year 12? does that not count as creativity? like yes, i know a lot of these things do still have to meet bs assessment criteria (especially in catholic schools, where the main things are you don’t offend the catholic education office and jesus/god lmao) to be considered worthy of a mark for your year 12 exams. but FUCK. HOW THE FUCK AREN’T ANY OF THESE SUBJECTS COUNTED TOWARDS BEING CREATIVE???????? like fuck your corporate creative ideation or w/e bullshit, Callum. drama and english even lend themselves to improvisation in some instances, like public speaking, which is examined further, below.

next, we move on to public speaking. this shit is basically taught from the first goddamn day of “show & tell” in kindy/kindergarten, and this fucker has the gall to say that it’s not fucking taught in schools? someone call in miley cyrus/hannah montana to throw the fuck down in this motherfucking hoedown BC THIS STUPID-ASS MEME-FUCKER HAS NERVE. i hated public speaking. absolutely hated it. even though it was ironically one of the places i ended up excelling in in english classes. even when i fucked up in my english speeches with like “oh, fuck.... said nelson mandela, i’ve seem to’ve lost my palm card. wait, shit! there it is... excuse me while i pull it out of my ass. whoops, sorry miss” *bats eyes and finger guns at my year 9 english teacher who has her head in her hands and is done with my shit, while the class laughs at my gaffe* i’d still end up with like 73% or like 26/30. it was baffling. but for people who weren’t the class clown/smart alec like i was from years 7-10 (and like i actually wasn’t once i moved schools).... public speaking is like the leading cause of anxiety, right? like by the time i got to doing speeches/presentations at uni i was having panic attacks... the thought of presenting to my classes made me fucking sick with fear and anxiety. nearly every subject i did at uni (even when i tried to avoid subs with public speaking assessments) and throughout school had some type of presentation/speech whatever you want to call it project/activity in it. even fucking SPORT/PDHPE at school and even philosophy at uni. and these fuckers are saying its not taught in schools. FUCK OFF. like yeah, i get that they actually mean it in the professional sense.... where people can give the sappy bs motivational speeches or an insightful ted-talk worthy 20-minute presentation... or a great sales pitch. but like??? save that for mike “my dad phoned in to EY and i have a job waiting for me after uni” mcfuck in a business major or law degree? or for clubs like toastmasters? fuck. ok enough of the skills we learn in school. let’s move onto the businesslike-sounding ones of “people management”, “conflict management” and fucking “entrepreneurship”. like. what the fuck? okay in some sense people management and conflict management could potentially be used in managing friendships and relationships in your personal life. but like. i can feel the business underpinnings and i dont like it lmao. like why do you want fully functioning adults straight out of school, franklin? and there’s extra credit conflict management subjects at uni??? or at least my home uni had it... and i never did them bc they were intensive courses during summer break lol. but the one that pissed me off the most was entrepreneurship. LIKE ARE KIDS NOT FUCKING ALLOWED TO BE KIDS NOW????? well apparently: “NO! YOU MUST ALWAYS THINK OF MONEY MAKING WAYS TO BE RICH! YOU MUST BE ENTREPRENEURIAL!!!!!! YOU MUST GENERATE BUSINESS IDEAS FROM THE TIME YOU CAN FUCKIN’ WALK!!!!! AND SPEAK!!! CHILDHOOD AND BEING A TEENAGER DON’T EXIST WORKER BEE!!!! CAPITALISM FOR ALL!!!! WORKER BEES!!! CAPITALISM IS YOUR FRIEND!!! OWN A BUSINESS BY THE TIME YOU’RE 8 YEARS OLD!” like it’s insidious asf. and it doesn’t acknowledge that most entrepreneurs are already privileged people anyway, who usually have some type of money to start off their venture (or that’s what it feels like anyway). and yeah throw all the “THIS BOY IS AN ENTREPRENEUR AT 18!!! 18!!!???? BY STARTING HIS OWN BUSINESS AT 12!!!! WHAT A CHAMP! 😁🙃” clickbait news stories at me, but i don’t fucking care. the concept and perceived over-importance and almost preaching mindset of entrepreneurship is slowly becoming insidious and toxic asf. call me paranoid. but that’s what it feels like.

but with those last three topics, i want to make a point that school curriculum’s (in australia at least, and probably worldwide) are so jam-packed already with sport (which is pointless and shitty), geography (ok how to read maps is important, but i never bothered to learned to do it properly), history, science, english etc etc etc..... that like.... where the actual fuck are the gonna jam the above bs (people management”, “conflict management” and entrepreneurship) into the curriculum???? and also teachers are already over-worked enough as it is, they don’t need another load of shitty subjects pushed onto them. and they sure asf don’t earn enough (especially in the states) to have this bs pushed into their subject schedules either. keep them at uni, where they should be. or just in the workplace/in the general public where they belong. and if people suggest that you could probably push these subjects into the year 11/12 business studies programs or elective commerce courses in years 9/10, save your goddamn breath. like i remember looking at business studies hsc papers in years 11/12 to see what they did.... and it was pretty chock-a-block anyway. and my experience of my year 9 commerce was horrible, to say the least. let kids be kids, for fucks sake. they shouldn’t have to be fully functioning adults in the workplace, by the end of high school, for fucks sake. AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NOT AN ESSENTIAL SKILL????!!!! FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT, WILHELM. anyway. that’s my rant over about how i hate how corporate people are trying to be #relatablewiththeyouth🙃 with their shitty versions of “10 things i wish we learned in school” memes.... and failing.... without realising that this is why millennials are suspicious and cynical about meme usage by corporate people/corporations.

#life #about me #shut up ilona #ranty mcrantrant #ilona rants about shit #warning: a too long didnt read/tl;dr post #for lazy tumblr peeps who never read long posts is ahead #BEWARE!!!’#and strap in for the ride #but yeah tl:dr ahead #learn to read long form posts you fucks #it was in my replies #so read my tags y’all

Miley Cyrus plastic surgery

Miley Cyrus has gone far for herself at an early age. Starring as the titular character in the Disney series "Hannah Montana," Cyrus had myriads of followers composed of young girls that admire her and also respect her as the most relaxed person to be. Cosmetic Surgery Is The Basis Of Every star To Improve Appearance! The celebrities blog about plastic surgery will tell you all the secrets of stars!

However, Miley's public identity transformed when she got older. Following her infamous twerk at a music awards reveal, Miley today is referred to as the wild youngster that's in the limelight because of her controversial actions and sights regarding life, which has overshadowed her talent as a singer and also actress.

I keep in mind how a big offer this salacious dancing was with people stating that Miley wrecked her wholesome Disney picture. It was most definitely a vibrant move as well as a stunning change as Miley made it recognized to the world she was no longer an innocent girl.

Maturing before the eyes of the public, individuals questioned if Miley had undertaken cosmetic surgery to alter her looks to support her attractive image. When the "Wrecking Round" hitmaker began wearing exposing garments, there were conjectures that she had aesthetic augmentations to her breasts as well as possibly also transformed the shape of her nose via rhinoplasty.

Given the world, she flourishes in and also maturing in showbiz family members, these speculations and also discuss Miley's plastic surgery might have a basis. With the superstar available to attempting anything, it doesn't appear like Miley may be one to steer clear of treatment to boost her look.

So, did Miley have any plastic surgery as well as what could those potentially be? We'll have to go with some of her before as well as after images for the answers. What we'll discover may amaze us-- in the classic Miley method!

Miley Cyrus Nose Job

Rhinoplasty in Hollywood is as usual as breathing. While some fans assert she obtained her nose fixed, it's tough to see exactly how she had nose surgery when there are little modifications to its shapes and size. These before as well as after pictures show that Miley has had the exact same nose shape all her life. Shocking, I understand!

A slight or subtle nose adjustment would have been a full waste of cash since it won't have any significant impact on her face. Although her nose isn't perfect, I don't see any kind of indication that Miley had a nose surgery.

Miley Cyrus Boob job

Miley has additionally been the topic of a breast implant rumor specially when she gowns so provocatively. I think her bust size and shape are natural though, which could be unusual for her critics. These photos do not reveal any proof that she had breast augmentation.

I would certainly claim that "The Climb" vocalist's body altered because individuals saw her change from an adolescent to a grownup. Naturally, her boobs would have taken shape by the time she was old adequate to use warm clothing. Her breast size, for me, isn't also huge or as well small. Lucky her!

Miley Cyrus Botox

Miley is also young to get botox on her face. So, any reports stating that she's getting botox shots are entirely off the mark. She's in her mid- '20s and also does not have to worry about lines and also creases for the next decade, I would certainly think. The truth that she's a vegan might have helped her keep a beautiful and also perfect skin, too.

Miley Cyrus Lip Injections

I enjoyed Miley on "The Voice," where she was just one of the vocal singing mentors. The thing that I observed concerning her most, apart from her large round eyes and also insane clothing, is her beautiful lips. I must confess that I have thought her of obtaining lip injections.

Nevertheless, after contrasting these before and after images, Miley's lips look normally puckered up even when she was young. This is specially evident on the top lip, so I don't assume she needed fillers to improve them.

Miley Cyrus Teeth Whites

This woman certainly did undertake cosmetic dentistry. She has a lot of better-looking teeth currently than before. Her dental treatment looks considerably as a result of her famous gum tissues (see photo left-wing), but that appears to have been taken care of now (see picture on the right).

You can additionally see indications of dental braces by considering her lower row, which has been straightened. The singer wasn't timid concerning sharing her oral work on social media sites either when she was 22 years old. Miley also posted pictures of the molars that the dental professional obtained and it looks like she has veneers for her top teeth.

Simon says bust it open like a freak, ay

“Okay, bitch!” Siyanda stuck her tongue out as Summer playfully wiggled her ass. “No, don’t stop now. The people wanna see how you got pregnant.”

“Yanda!” Summer laughed and shook her head as she continued to apply her eye makeup. “Can I see your brush?”

Siyanda paused in the midst of applying her eye primer. “Now, bitch, you already know you can.”

“Thank you.” Summer blew a kiss toward her best friend when there came a knock on the door. “Alexa, pause the music.”

The AI responded with putting Megan on a temporary pause while Siyanda ended her IG Live. Summer looked up to see her husband standing in the doorway with his hand covering his eyes. “Everyone decent?”

“No. Go away.”

“You’re in my house, Sentence.”

“No, I’m in my girl’s house. You are a renter.”

“Children, please.” Summer released a sigh. “Is it too much to ask that you two try to get along?”

“Yes.” They both answered simultaneously forcing Summer to chuckle. She knew that her best friend and husband didn’t actually hate each other. They just had a playful and teasing banner where they dragged each other every chance they get.

“What you need, babe? The twins okay?”

He nodded. “Just wanted to see if you two were almost done-”

“Don’t rush us, Point Break.”

“Kiss my ass-”

“Okay, that’s enough,” Summer groaned, walking over and placing her hands on his chest. “We’ll be done soon, baby.”

“Don’t lie to him, girl. He’s a big boy.”

Christopher smirked, moving his hand down to her ass, giving a nice squeeze. “You two really do talk a lot, huh?”

Summer gasped and pushed him out. “Goodbye, Christopher!” She closed the door with her hip. “He’s so annoying.”

“You chose him,” Siyanda murmured, starting to blend her crease color.

“Shut up. That’s my husband.”

“I know. I’m sorry.”

Summer laughed and sat back down while pouting. “Girl, I really don’t want to go to this thing.”

“I don’t know why you’re going either. Unless we’re going to whoop her ass.”

“Siyanda…”

“Naw, Summer, how the hell is she going to plan a birthday party for your husband?”

Summer blew out a breath. “She said it’s a birthday/MIB/Avengers celebration-”

To say Summer wasn’t exactly thrilled when she received a text from her sister-in-law informing her of a “pop up party” she was throwing for herself and Chris would be a bit of an understatement. Summer was initially confused and then upset. Miley literally planned the whole thing and hadn’t told Summer anything prior to that text that was two weeks before the event.

It just….it was weird.

However, that was the perfect word to describe the singer.

“I don’t give a fuck if it’s an “existence” celebration. It’s inappropriate as hell, and let her say one thing to you, imma smack her white trash ass all the way back to her Hannah Montanna set. Life’s what you make it, right? Well imma make make-”

“Yanda, you are not going to fight that lil’ girl. You know Liam loves her.”

“He can love again.”

“I don’t know why I even asked your ass to come with me.”

“Because you outnumbered, and you know you my girl. Imma ride for you. To jail cells and beyond.”

“Yanda!”

--------

“Where is the alcohol?”

“Siyanda.”

“She actually has a point. For once.”

“Chistopher!”

Summer groaned as she walked into the event with her best friend and husband. “We haven't even been here for a good five minutes, and ya’ll are trying to get drunk.”

“How else are supposed to make it through this evening?” Christopher muttered. “I didn’t even ask for this.”

“It’s the thought that counts,” Summer tried to defend, holding onto his arm and squinting at the rays of lights flashing through the club. “Besides, you know I’m planning something for your birthday.”

He looked down at her. “Just the two of us?”

“I’ll watch the babies.”

Summer snorted. “Don’t you have to get back to-”

“Hey!”

The three entertainers looked up to see Liam heading in their direction.

“H-“”

“We have a problem,” he blurted before his brother could finish the greeting.

Chris frowned. “What’s wrong?”

Summer prepared to echo her husband’s question when Siyanda spoke. “I think I know.”

Summer turned to her friend. “Wh-” The singer lifted her hand to point toward the second level of the venue where attendees chatted, drank, and smoke. It didn’t take long for Summer to zone in on them. “Tell me that is not Shipp’s colorist ass with-”

Again, statements were shortened, but this time by a pissed Summer.

“What the fuck is Chris’s ex doing here?”

Awkward Writer Fun Facts

Hi, tumblr! I’m an awkward human, and I’m also a writer. So I’m going to give you fun facts about how that works! Usually...not well.

1. I wrote a book a couple years ago, but it sucked so hard I’m literally going to hit the backspace button on ALL of it.That’s not the awkward part. That’s when I’d sent it out to my critique partner right after I finished it, and since she’d been so busy with uni at the time, I thought it was forgotten, so I never told her about the scrapping everything. Then she started reading it a few weeks ago. Moral of the story: communication is key.

2. When I was nine, I definitely wrote a point for point rehash of chapters 1-3 of harry potter with a female protagonist named Chlöe. That’s just spelt wrong. I also did TWO, that’s right, TWO rehashes of Hannah Montana. Their names were Jazmyn Kneit (pronounced night, because I was 12), and Bridget Connecticut. I’m not even kidding you. These weren’t fics, either. I was thinking about them as wholly original. Side note: I once “wrote” (read: sang) a song that I thought was original, but turned ogut to be a note for note version of Hannah Montana’s “This is the Life”. Side not on the side note: if you search Hannah Montana songs in google, you end up with mostly Miley Cyrus songs...from Bangerz...that doesn’t made any sense.

3. I’ve had story ideas come from dreams that were either shit, or gave me so much anxiety (because they were actually nightmares) that I could never turn it into a story regardless. Doesn’t mean I don’t write it all down anyway and make myself miserable! Apparently I hate myself.

4.I accidentally wrote a character marrying his cousin...yeah. had to rewrite like half the book.

5. I swear a LOT but my parents don’t, so I’ve had to cut cuss words from chapters I send to them too many times to count.

6. Once I thought I was going to make a series of youtube videos based around book-themed makeup. Then I remembered I suck at makeup. Dodged a bullet on that one.

7. Currently in the process of making a 25 EPISODE YouTube series which sounds great, but is actually just me ranting into a camera about how movie romances are the worst. It’s relevant to an upcoming project, but let’s be honest, I just wanted an excuse to bitch to people about things. I’m making myself do WAY too much work...so I can rant. Don’t know why I hate myself.

8.Once I made up the name Jennafer because I needed Jenna to be a nickname. Somehow just using “Jen” or something as a nickname never came to me.

9. During a breakup where my ex was in love with someone else, which I’d known for a few weeks, he decided to lie and tell me we were breaking up because I corrected his grammar too much. Worst breakup lie ever, really...

10. I have to completely overhaul my entire closet...because it’s all Harry Potter related. Like I have no work appropriate clothes because almost everything I own has harry potter things on it. Or Disney. I once walked into Primark with the express purpose of buying something completely plain...and walked out with a shirt with stitch on it. Self control, ladies and gentlemen!

There are my awkward writer fun facts! I have officially humiliated my self for others’ entertainment! Feel free to do the same if you have awkward fun facts. I love fun facts!
