Hey! I want to request yandere alphabet B, D, K and R for Tsukasa and Rui??
Absolutely! I had quite a bit of fun writing it so I hope you'll like it as well! ^^
Tsukasa, Rui B, D, K, R yandere alphabet
TagList: @bleachtheidiot @yulikesminori @kuzui5201314 @alicewinterway18 @indi-has-fallen
TW: unhealthy obsession, mentions of death, killing, drugs, kidnapping, generally all the yandere stuff
Tumblr media
⊱ Both = You are a Yandere too, what's their reaction?
When Tsukasa discovered you're also the yandere type, he was almost sure it's a sign. Sign that you two were always supposed to be together and that no one should ever dare to interrupt you.
A smile appears way too fast on his face and he's just genuinely happy that you care about him and this relationship as much as he does.
But if it's when he was still trying to hide his yandere self from you because he was afraid to scare you away... he literally cannot believe himself! He spends long time just discussing hints you ever could've gave him! If he'd notice them sooner... he wouldn't have to worry so much about you being scared of him!
"You're also?! I wish I knew that sooner... but it's not important now. Important thing is that we can be together forever with no interruptions~"
⊱ Difference = When can you notice different behavior in them?
Tsukasa does his best to be secret with his yandere self to not scare you away, but it's still quite easy to see through once you try...
Earlier he was simply socialable, especially with you but he was more like a sunshine that enjoyed your company! Now he's clingy and refuses to let go of your side unless there's absolute no other choice. He always wants your attention on him and him alone, whether that be yelling to get your attention from someone else or making stupid excuse to help him drag you somewhere else.
"Y/N!! You need to... uh... help me pick up Saki from school! C'mon, we don't have time!"
⊱ Kidnap = Are they willing to kidnap you? If so how will they do it, for how long will they keep you away and where?
Tsukasa would never kidnap you, unless he's absolutely forced to do it. He can go as far as begging, manipulating, even forcing you but he doesn't want to take your freedom away. Maybe it's because of memory with his sister? Either way, he'd rather to not take away such an important thing from you.
He can be forced to do it tho. If you start telling him that you hate him and will run away from him, he'll be willing to do it. He'd invite you to his place and put some sleeping pills in your drink and then keep you locked in like a basement or some other place similar to that. It's not for long tho! It's usually just for long enough to make you calm down and make sure you won't tell anyone about it. In short, he keeps you kidnapped for as little as possible!
"It's alright, I just didn't wanted you to run away... please stay for a bit longer... just a bit so I can show you I'm not a complete psycho."
⊱ Risk = How risky will they be with getting rid of rivals?
Tsukasa is too afraid to be risky but at the same time, he knows he has to be like that with some rivals in the end... he'll use his star charm and chaotic persona to make someone follow him, be it on backstage, to his house, some darker alley or just generally a quite corner.
And when his enemy is there, he'll most likely make them asleep by spilling chloroform on cloth and not take it away from their nose. He's prepared to stay like that for 10 minutes or more if needed, so it'll most definitely work. Then he simply would stab them to death or so.
But the quite corner is always planned. He makes sure there's like a lake or something he can burn the evidences with, and most importantly... that no one comes close when he's working.
Of course on the next day he acts as if he's really scared and sad along your side. As if both of you need each other to not be so scared because it's 3rd murder this week and it only happens to kids in this school...
"I-I can't believe it... it's just so sad... Y/N... can we stay close? I'm really scared... for both, you and me..."
Tumblr media
⊱ Both = You are a Yandere too, what's their reaction?
When you told Rui about it, he was literally stunned... not only because he didn't expect it but because you love HIM so much!! Don't get him wrong, he's in heaven right now but he thought you prefer someone else and he'll have to try really hard to make you at least notice him.
Now you're both lovey dovey partners, and partners in crime. Whenever one of you is jealous, he won't hesitate to use his robot for... bloodier purposes... but it ends good for both of you and that's the only thing that matters~
"Darling~ You don't know how happy I am to know that you love me just as much as I love you. I promise to make you proud~"
⊱ Difference = When can you notice different behavior in them?
Even when Rui began to behave differently, you didn't really notice it because of his general "weirdo" behavior. He simply started hanging around you more and spending more time on his inventions but that could be easily explained with excuse or so.
You probably didn't even notice when he started being more clingy and taking you attention more than he previously did because he does it slowly, to jot scare you away.
"Sorry, I was really focused on my new invention last night... I just happened to have burst of motivation!"
⊱ Kidnap = Are they willing to kidnap you? If so how will they do it, for how long will they keep you away and where?
Rui's not a fan of that method but he will do it if all his other methods fail. He may lead you forcefully somewhere but he'd never hit you, so if he had to choose... he'd choose kidnapping you and working things out from there.
Depending on how close you are, he'll either get you uncocious with sleeping pill at his place or secretly add them to your drink when you aren't looking and take you from there with excuse of helping you go to doctor when he's really taking you to his place.
He'll keep you there for 2 weeks to 3 months tied up and after he may stop with tying and let you wander around house that's doors and windows are locked. He likes to keep you in his room most of the time tho... just to keep a close eye on you!
"Calm down, it's just me. I can explain everything to you later. Why won't we chat first tho, hm~?"
⊱ Risk = How risky will they be with getting rid of rivals?
Rui would be very risky but at the same time not risky at all! He definitely created robots that are meant just for murderous purposes, so he has no trouble with simply turning them on, choosing their target and sending them to kill the rival even in the middle of town. Of course he'll put on a show like pretending he's shocked, surprised, disgusted and so on. He might even play the knight if you're around and give you the comfort and safety you need him to provide. So he basically hits 2 birds with one stone!
It is a bit risky for him too tho... he's known for having robots that's why he creates ones with such aesthetic that don't suit him at all and instead suit other students that are interested in creating robots just like he is. They're also probably self destructive to avoid collecting his fingerprints.
"Shhh~ it's okey, Y/N~ Nobody's gonna hurt you. No human or machine. I'll make sure of it~"

i have a request that I’m not sure you’d want to do but, it’s a school a/u. How would the creeps be if they got high at school with their s/o 🐈
LOVE this idea!! Only using the mature creeps!
HIGH AT SCHOOL - CREEPS SCHOOL AU:
Tumblr media
JEFF THE KILLER:
Doesn't smoke a whole bunch and certainly doesn't get that high
You have to remember he has a football career to think about!
If he got drug tested he'd be absolutely fuckkked
If/when he's high at school, he's a total fool. Cracking jokes, acting stupid, the works.
Tumblr media
JANE THE KILLER:
Doesn't smoke since she's in choir
She thinks it damages your voice
Honestly effects her ability to think and focus so she doesn't like it
If she were to get high she'd be a mess. She'd have no clue what to do with herself. She needs to sit the fuck down and do nothing until it wears off
Tumblr media
NINA THE KILLER:
Smokes socially!
Only at parties or with friends
Absolutely doesn't smoke when she has to cheer, she wants her head in the game
Doesn't change all that much when she's high at school. Just a bit more talkative!
Tumblr media
KATE THE CHASER:
Stoner. She smokes all the time.
Like I said before she's rather reserved and quiet with her achievements and work. It's the same thing with this. You can probably tell by the way she dresses but she won't tell you unless you ask all the right questions
But! Since she's literally a track star, she makes sure to do breathing exercises and extra warmups so she's still in great shape
Exactly the same as always when she smokes at school. She's high a lot so she's gotten used to having to focus
Tumblr media
CLOCKWORK:
Only smokes with the proxies (kate,toby,tim,brian)
Like Kate she does all the breathing and extra warmups before basketball games or even practice. She puts out her A game
But when she's in the art rooms? Oh girl is high as fuck.
If she smokes with the proxies before school, she'll make her way to the art room to be alone and let her creativity flow.
Tumblr media
"TICCI" TOBY:
STONERRR. Just look at this man. He smokes for sure.
Probably smokes before games but it doesn't effect his performance at all
Loves smoking with the proxies, honestly loves sharing a joint with anyone if they ask! Super chill about it
Just like Nina, he just gets more social when he smokes! Also such a giggler when he's high
Tumblr media
TIM/MASKY:
Not really a weed smoker but avid cigarette smoker. We already knew that though
But if he is smoking weed, it's in small doses and only around the ones he trusts
I feel like he freaks out when he smokes weed. Hallucinates and all that
It's almost like he's on crack when he's high at school. Probably scratching his arms a lot, looking around trying to catch the hallucination before it disappears
Tumblr media
BRIAN/HOODIE:
Another stoner. Like he's up there with Kate in the level he smokes.
High all the time, even during the championship baseball game. He's still throwing strike after strike and being the ace player
Hosts parties after games too, you better bet there's joints for days there. Wax too.
Like I said, high all the time. So he's pretty normal, super chill and laid back. Doesn't effect his performance at all
Tumblr media
EYELESS JACK:
Only smokes when Nina's around since she only smokes socially. He's pretty much the same
Also just a weekend smoker. He doesn't like how it clouds his head when he's trying to focus on schoolwork.
He's an honor student after all. He has to keep his mind in it
Struggles when he's high at school. All the words seem to morph together on the pages and his head is all cloudy. He just feels like he needs to take a nap and try the day all over again
Tumblr media
THE PUPPETEER:
Probably the one who smokes the absolute most. Again, look at this man.
He says it helps his creativity flow, but I don't know how much I'd believe that
Doesn't share his stuff at all though.
Kinda like Toby he's a giggler, but more on the chuckle side? Cracks some jokes but he's not all that much different since this pretty much is normal for him

10 years ago to the day, I put in my notice at the Bose store I worked at, because for some reason I was allowed to start an art career when I had almost nothing to offer.
At the time, I was 3.5 years out of college and depressed to the point of googling “most painless way to unalive yourself”. I don't know what the search results looks like these days, but the ones I got weren't within my means, so I applied for a job posting on CraigsList and said I'd circle back to Plan A when I got rejected. I didn't have any work experience, so I made my resume the big stupid thing up top there.
I don't know how much of the document constitutes as "lying". Technically I didn't lie! I was featured in the publications I listed! They were not real jobs. I don't recommend doing this unless you're a really good bullshitter and you have literally no other options in life, and even then I'd tell you that I'm an awful role model and you shouldn't do what I did.
For some reason, I was hired! Bonus: my first assignment was drawing rocket ships for Johnson & Johnson. I don't know why they'd give that to an obvious liar! But I didn't realize it was a contract/freelance hire, which, if you don't know, is a complete lifestyle change from a normal job. I decided to jump right into the world of running one's own business because Plan A seemed less attractive now.
Tumblr media
Over the years, I've had opportunities to work with major international brands, explore a bunch of different industries I never thought to work with, collaborate with folks I looked up to for years, worked on books and games and animation and music and ads and a bunch of other stuff. I'm very fortunate to have what others have told me is a "career" but what feels like a series of silly things that have happened to or around me. Lots of people took a chance on me when they probably should've hired someone with a better head on their shoulders.
Tumblr media
I don't use the Drawbarian resume anymore (I have work experience now!), and I don't think it represents me even a little bit, but I think self aggrandizing humor is way funnier than self depreciating humor, and that original drawing was so fucking bad that I wanted to see and enjoy my growth in something more tangible.
Plus I dunno muscle dudes are fun to draw.

understandingbimbos · 10 months

So. There's a few things I need to address. My documentation and study of bimbos began as a personal project. I only started a blog because I was putting a ridiculous amount of work and thought into this and figured it should be shared (and still, there's SO much I haven't shared yet...). And that's part of why this blog isn't so well managed, not consistent, and very informal. I write every post with the assumption whoever reading will have some familiarity with the fetish and that was kind of a mistake when dealing with subject matter as delicate as this and if I want to be able to attract literally any other audience. But the blog is here now so its kind of a moot point. I won't be rewriting posts. I want to kill myself every day, its astonishing I can write anything. Anyway, recently I discovered an adult performer named Celestina Blooms, in particular, this video:
youtube
We share a lot of the same thoughts. And her criticisms of BimboTok are a lot better articulated. Here are some of things she's said that stood out to me (paraphrased):
"As an actual political movement, the Gen Z bimbo isn't actually very helpful beyond being satire because there are contradictions."
"It makes no sense to be expected to have every single decision in your life, in every area of your life, be a form of activism."
"If you don't spend enough time watching all their videos to completely get the point it looks like they're satirizing the ideologies they're preaching."
"They're kind of taking this thing and being like 'Hey! This thing is leftist because I'm leftist and I said so!' when the thing is still something very tied to a lot of systems of oppression."
"I think there's an issue with saying that being feminine is feminist."
"Because there are so many minors on TikTok they'll come across this trend and see the cute aesthetic and cute clothes, and for good measure, the ideologies a lot of them agree with and be like 'Fuck yes! Sign me up!' and before you know it they're dressing like a bimbo, calling themselves a 'bimbo', and all this stuff while not even being aware of this whole other world of bimbofication as a fetish and unknowingly calling attention to themselves."
She also brings up Pink Bimbo Academy in this video (not by name, and if you somehow see this Celestina, sorry for blowing up your spot!). I bring this up because PBA actually reached out to me like two weeks ago. We had an extremely brief conversation. He lost all interest as soon as he realized my blog isn't primarily about real life bimbos and, like Celestina, I don't believe bimbos are really a real life thing. This is the reason for my last text post (now pinned).
Up until this point I didn't realize Pink Bimbo Academy was a guy, or extremely weird. He's one of those bimbo enthusiasts that genuinely believes every woman should be a bimbo, unless they're trans that is, because according to him a bimbo can't have a penis or possess any "masculine" qualities. He seems to view bimbofication less as a fetish and more of a means to an end. To him, bimbos are the peak of femininity and bimbofication only helps women to become more of who they're "biologically" meant to be. He has entire rants against feminism up on his website and aspires to create an actual real-life bimbo finishing school, like he's a super villain or some shit, like the antagonist of every school-set bimbofication story come to life. And unfortunately, he's basically the resource for bimbofication online. I have to assume not everyone that follows his guides reads all his posts and FAQ but its more than disappointing to have a transphobe be one of the main vanguards of this fetish today.
Anyway, I can't recommend Celestina's video enough. Its a bit long but all worth watching and has made the prospect of writing this book exciting again. I would suggest this video of hers too:
youtube
Post-script: After over an hour of writing all of this I realized I actually did something extremely stupid here. Celestina follows me on here, possibly one of the first people to follow me. I kept wondering why one of her icons looked so familiar and it took me until literally just now to figure it out. I hope she doesn't mind the plug, because you all should follow her too!

The Heart Lies Behind the Ribs
Hiiiiii everybody it is Yamgeta week, as decided by @dballzposting! I had considered this ship maybe once back in like 2014 and then never thought about it again. But god knows I'm such a sucker for this type of stuff, so I wrote a fic! Yippie!
This is assuming a pre-established relationship! I don't know how to write build-up, so you get a fic set in the stages of a relationship after they've already moved in together and have been together for quite some time.
Proofread, but still technically a first draft. Apologies for the clunkiness, but I wrote it in a fever pitch after being beset by the idea literally before I got out of bed.
Please enjoy!
The Heart Lies Behind the Ribs
"Get up."
Yamcha had been relaxing on his couch, watching Dirty Jobs and scratching Puar around the base of his neck while he napped on the man's lap. He craned his neck to look behind him at Vegeta, the man who issued the command.
Gently moving Puar off his lap, Yamcha stood up and stretched. At least four vertebrae popped. As he looked over at Vegeta, he realized the shorter man had his armor on. Historically? Not a great sign...
"What's up, man?" Yamcha had learned that it was better not to try to lead Vegeta in a conversation; he'd say what he wanted to say with or without his prompting. And to be honest, he didn't want to bring up the armor, just in case. Being able to play at naïvety hadn't worked yet, but it was bound to someday!
Vegeta fixed him in an icy glare, which stopped affecting Yamcha after he realized that's just how the man's face looked normally. "Go put your gi on and meet me outside."
"Wh-Huh?" Yamcha wasn't stupid. Yamcha knew that all this meant Vegeta wanted to spar. Yamcha didn't want to have his entire ass caved in by his superpowered boyfriend.
Or, at least, not on the battlefield.
He rubbed the back of his head in the way he knew Vegeta found cute. Maybe if he was cute enough he could avoid his fate. "Vegeta, I really don't think you'll get much out of training with me! You're like wayyyyy above me, y'know?"
Vegeta narrowed his eyes and wrinkled his nose in a face that once terrified Yamcha, but that he now found pretty cute. It meant Vegeta was trying really hard not to show what he was feeling.
"Tch. Idiot. Flattery will get you nowhere." He crossed his arms. "Besides, this is for your benefit. I'm sick and tired of you being unable to defend yourself!"
Instinctively, Yamcha put his arms out in a defensive/placating gesture. "I mean, I'm still stronger than most of what hangs around on earth... Unless more aliens show up I'm safe, and if more do show up, it's not like I'll be useful."
Vegeta immediately scowled, hard, looking almost as fearsome as the first day they met and startling Yamcha. "That's exactly the kind of attitude that got you killed by a damn saibaman! I refuse to suffer a mate so weak any longer! Go get your gi on, and meet me outside."
Vegeta stormed out the front door, and Yamcha could sense him standing a ways away from the house.
Suddenly, a small voice piped up from behind Yamcha. "I'm glad he's not evil anymore, but Vegeta can still be really scary when he's mad!" Puar had apparently woken up from all the racket and stuck his head just above the back of the couch. Cute.
Yamcha let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. "Yeah... But it's kind of nice, I guess. To have somebody actually worried about me like that." He let out a little signature 'Heh.'
Puar gave him a look that managed to mix both fondness and exasperation. "Hey, what about me? I care about you, Yamcha!" He smiled wider. "Anyway, you should probably go do what he says, he seemed really serious this time!"
Yamcha smiled back. "Yeah, you're right. Besides, I could use the exercise! A little training never hurt anyone."
"With Vegeta?"
"Hm. Yeah, true."
And with that, Yamcha shrugged and headed to his room to change. His gi was folded neatly into a drawer, at Vegeta's insistence. He hated mess, Yamcha had found out. He felt it was important to know where everything is, in case of emergency.
~~~
Yamcha stepped outside, tightening his belt. Vegeta was waiting back near the tree line, arms folded and as neutral an expression as the man ever gave.
"Hmph. Good of you to finally try training for once, Animal." It was a nickname Yamcha didn't care for at first, but over time he realized Vegeta meant it in a half demeaning, half complimentary sort of way. The same way he gave every compliment.
Sure it originally started as just another way to call him a lower lifeform and mock him for the wolf theming, but over time it morphed into a somewhat endearing term. Yamcha had heard Goten call people who were doing really well 'beasts' on occasion, and he figured it was probably the same sort of concept. Wild and cool. Untameable.
"I thought you might just crawl back into your den and wait out the storm," he egged on further.
Yamcha smiled back at his partner. "And lose out on one-on-one time with His Royal Highness? Wouldn't miss it for the world."
This drew a snort and a smug grin from the alien. The promise of training always brightened his mood, and his outburst from earlier was already fading away. "Always with the flattery..." Vegeta moved his feet into proper fighting position, striking a pose that showed him for the ambush predator he was. "It's not going to make me go any easier on you, you know!"
Yamcha braced himself, both physically for Vegeta's first attack and mentally for the hours of this ass beating he was going to have to endure. "Ha! Bring it on, you pampered prince!"
Oh, the things he does for love.
Surprisingly, the first two hours went pretty well! Vegeta allowed Yamcha to get a few good hits in, never dishing out more than Yamcha could handle. There was plenty of stopping so that Vegeta could demonstrate something, and then Yamcha could try it out.
Then it happened.
A kick delivered at just the wrong angle and at just the wrong place and with just the wrong amount of force snapped Yamcha's lower left rib.
He went down.
Vegeta knew what happened, he could pick up on the horrible sound of cracking bone as easily and perfectly as a pianist could pick out middle G.
It was what he was raised into.
The panic set in almost immediately. Vegeta had no idea what humans could survive. Saiyans could recover from almost anything that didn't directly stop their heart or lungs, but he knew humans weren't so resilient.
After he recovered from the shock he was at Yamcha's side almost instantaneously. Vegeta knelt down next to Yamcha, who was curled up in a twitching ball in the dirt.
He gently placed one hand on Yamcha's shoulder, and tried to get his other into the spasming ball of flesh, just below the ribcage.
"Yamcha, listen to me." Vegeta kept his voice calm, but there was no disguising his worry. "You need to uncurl. If your muscles spasm around the broken bone, it's harder to repair."
He heard that bit while he was in a healing tank when he was eight.
Slowly, ever so goddamn slowly, Yamcha allowed himself to be straightened out and laid flat on his back. Vegeta wasn't sure where to go from here.
Vegeta, still kneeling, desperately wracked his brain for anything he could remember about treatments on earth. Every now and again someone would come out to treat a player during one of Yamcha's matches, but it was the off-season. No one would be at the stadium.
Bit by bit, Yamcha calmed down as the pain subsided. He saw Vegeta at his side, face frozen in panic. It was a face he didn't wear often, and Yamcha was glad for that. He reached out his hand and gently grabbed Vegeta's wrist.
"Hey."
Vegeta snapped back to reality and looked down to see Yamcha smiling softly. "It's okay. I'm not gonna die." He released his grip and then patted Vegeta's hand. "It wasn't even one of the important ribs anyway."
Vegeta stared humourlessly and allowed himself to sit.
"How do I fix this?" he asked, both of them knowing he meant not only 'How do I help you?' but also 'I'm sorry.'
Yamcha wanted to let out a small chuckle of reassurance, but figured a broken rib would make that a bad call.
"You wouldn't happen to have a senzu bean on you, would ya?" He knew, of course that neither of them did. He also knew that Vegeta probably didn't know where the hospital was.
Immediately Vegeta stood up straight. "I can't believe I almost forgot about the damned beans!" He looked down at the man still lying in the dirt, eyebrows now knitted together. "I'll be right back."
"WAIT!"
Yamcha sucked in a sharp breath; yelling like that was not a good idea. "H-Hold on, man! You can't just go zipping up to Korin's Tower and demand some beans!"
Vegeta looked down at him, unimpressed. "And why not?"
Smiling up at his boyfriend and accidental assailant, Yamcha answered "Because you have to climb it first, or Korin won't give you any." He patronizingly flumped his hand onto the other man's shoe before continuing.
"Plus, you have to be polite about it, and I know you're not up for that!"
Vegeta scowled, but it seemed almost good-natured as far as Vegeta scowls went. Maybe it was relief that Yamcha was feeling well enough to tease him, maybe it was just the thought of a challenge making its way to his brain, but either way he seemed much more relaxed.
"I am perfectly capable of being polite."
The snicker that left Yamcha's lips hurt just a bit, and after he winced he cocked an eyebrow. "Even if Yajirobe is there?"
Vegeta sat back down, arms crossed, and refused to answer.
He looked at his mate, and let out a fond sigh. "We're going to have to do something about your rib."
"Yeah, yeah, in a bit. It's a really nice day out, though. Look at how blue the sky is!"
It was a simple ploy, one that wasn't even meant to fool Vegeta, more a sort of way to ask him to lay down. It worked, of course. Always did.
And so, the prince of all two Saiyans lowered himself to the dirt and laid beside his damaged goods. He rested his hand on top of Yamcha's and looked up at the sky.
"Hmph. I suppose it is an intriguing shade..."

I'm not really into Heavens Officials Blessing Fandom or well not yet, but.....
Can I get the First Years with Male!Hua Cheng!S/O?
TWST First Years x Hua Cheng!Yuu
I did my best with him, his main personality trait is just simping for Xie Lian unrelated but you are gonna love the show bro
♥️Ace Trappola♥️
why does his last name look like spaghetti
ANYWAYS I feel like at first he would jokingly try to show his dominance over you
You're an attractive guy with long hair, a mysterious eyepatch, muscles, and you're just taller than him
Every dude in school is all over you whether it's for romantic reasons, they want the clout of being your friend, or they want your exercise routine
Ace at first thinks his feelings towards you is envy since you get a lot of attention (and are crazy powerful like wtf) but after some thinking on it he realizes it's jealousy
Instead of confronting it he just pushes it way down and pretends it does not exist because he refuses to come to terms with the fact that he likes you
If say (god forbid) Xie Lian didn't exist in your original world then Hua Cheng would treat Ace like he would Xie Lian
Ace is not used to this in the slightest
You treat him like a piece of treasure, yet Ace is shoving as many pieces of gum as he can in his mouth because Deuce dared him
Both you and Ace actually have very similar attitudes, you don't do things for others unless it's for your benefit or it's for someone you know well and are fond of in some way
This makes your relationship to each other incredibly loyal and Ace appreciates that he's found someone who can see deeper than what he shows people and actively reciprocates it
You're always on Ace's side even if he's clearly in the wrong or just being stupid
You would help him fight Riddle no doubt
When (not if) Ace gets into a fight he always threatens people by saying something along the lines of "You wouldn't mind if I brought my buddy Hua Cheng right?"
Everyone scrambles
Those who don't are sent to the infirmary in 10 seconds or less
Magic and stuff works very differently in your separate worlds so I don't know how much help you would be to him when it comes to teaching but Ace likes to watch the stuff you make
His favorite is probably Blood Rain just because it seems so menacing but it does literally nothing
♠️Deuce Spade♠️
refer to Ace Trappola
JK but I can't deny I do feel like there are a couple similar traits here
The biggest one being loyalty, they're both very loyal boys but Deuce is more outwardly with it and is still willing to help others he doesn't know very well
You admire his efforts in his studies and just in everything he does overall
he may not be amazing at everything he does but he always gives it 100% and you love that about him
You're aware of his efforts to not pick fights with people so whenever you feel that may be happening you just gently put your hand on his shoulder, nudge him to the side a bit, and fight the person for him
You have no reason to keep a reputation in tact so may as well go nuts while ensuring your BF doesn't get in trouble
To Deuce this feels like the ultimate form of you showing your love
And it kind of is lol
Remember that scene where deuce thought that store bought eggs had baby chicks in them
Yeah that but you just smile at him and say nothing
Ace will have to be the one to correct him eventually
You would still somehow defend Deuce
It's still a recurring argument in the friend group
🐺Jack Howl🐺
He looks up to you like he looks up to Riddle
if you haven't read the vignette he basically respects Riddle since he puts in the hard work to get what he wants and doesn't take shortcuts
Don't know how much that personality trait applies to you but you're someone who came from a hard knock life and now you're one of the most powerful in your world (probably in their world too let's be honest)
If you thought ADeuce was loyal OH BOY you're in for a treat because this man will not leave your side unless he has to
Obviously if he thinks you may not be okay with him constantly by you're side he'll leave but if you like him as much as you like Xie Lian you'd be begging him not to
From an outsiders perspective looking in, your relationship is both somewhat hard to read but also tooth rotting sweet
Jack tries to put on a tough boy persona around everyone but is actually very sweet and loves affection, while one of the most intimidating people in school is all over him like he would die without him
This makes jacks face so red and leaves his tail constantly wagging
I feel like you'd just walk up behind him and grab his tail to spook him
This makes his ears perk up cutely
Jack is so used to being someone who's physically stronger than others so the moment you pick him up bridal style with no restraint leaves him floored
he tells you to put him down so he doesn't have to admit he likes it
You can tell by the tail though so you do it any chance you get when you're alone
He likes the butterflies that you create
They're so bright and beautiful and he has butterflies in his stomach when you make them fly around him and land on the tips of his ears or nose
🍎Epel Felmier🍎
you would bond over something very unlikely
like carving
he carves you apples, and you give him life sized statues of him in hyper realistic detail
Something about it creeps him out but in a good way
You would probably carve them in such a way that it gave him a bit more muscle
that's probably why he subconsciously likes them so much
Vil is jealous his first year managed to get such an attractive and dedicated peer before he did
he constantly asks you for tips on how to be more manly
you probably say some crap like "You're already the manliest man I know🥰"
He appreciates the self-esteem building but sometimes he would prefer if you took it a little more seriously
If he wanted to, you would probably help him get on an exercise regimen to build more muscle so he can get that ManlyTM aesthetic
Vil isn't against bettering oneself but if he finds out Epel is trying to build heavy bulk or something he would confront you
You would either tell Vil the truth but defend Epel or just lie to Vil about your plans
You defend Epel against a lot of things
Vil wants to unalive you at this point but then he'd ruin his clothes
You two are like the meme where Person A is trying to fight Person C but Person B is right behind them threatening Person C if they do
Epel thinks people are afraid of him and this gives him a confidence boost
Seeing him happy makes you happy
I don't know why but I feel like if you guys were play fighting and you just picked him up and threw him it would make him happy
He's always running up to you asking to be thrown like a kid in a pool
⚡Sebek Zigvolt⚡
This is giving me strong "I had to get a support dog for my support dog" vibes on Malleus' part
You like to bother him 24/7 and Sebek pretends like he doesn't like it and is always yelling at you while you just stand there like :)
It makes him flustered that someone is willing to not only put up with a part of him so many find annoying but embrace it too
You don't understand his obsession with Malleus but you can relate to having someone you care for so deeply you'd do anything for them
Sebek has a hard time seeing himself that way since his entire life has basically been for Malleus but he can't say he doesn't appreciate it
In the beginning of getting to know each other he thinks you're another lowly human
When you make the sky start bleeding he starts to wonder if he should've retracted that statement sooner
Knight training together?
Knight training together
He may have been training his whole life to be a knight but you have like 800+ years experience he has much to learn from you
Eventually I think he would view you as someone equivalent to Lilia which if you're not already aware is an incredibly high honor in his eyes
Which makes him all the more flustered when out of anyone you chose him to court
If he does that thing where he says something nice to you in a very loud and formal voice you would hold the exact same energy
"YOU ARE VERY SKILLED AT SWORDSMANSHIP DESPITE YOUR INCONVENIENT CLOTHING OPTIONS AND UNRULY HAIR!"
"THANKS I THINK YOU'RE HOT TOO"
This happens a lot
Everyone knows that when it starts they need to cover their ears for the next 5 minutes or so
I think Malleus truly does appreciate Sebek's loyalty to him but sometimes he needs a break so he's very happy that you provide that for him by keeping Sebek distracted
His eyes are so pretty please compliment them

Zhongli + Diluc Designs (Ajax Memory Edition)
nobody requested, super self indulgent.
so recently the others decided to encourage me to make these. i don't know why, but they were pretty fun. basically, these are what zhongli and diluc looked like in my fictive memories. its not too complicated. there's not many actual changes i could show (like zhongli being literally 7 foot tall), but it was nice to do edits of them as i remember them. i could probably talk about my version of the genshin universe for hours. but i'm not going to do that.... i'll put it under the cut though, because fuck you, this is my blog too. ~ ajax 🐋🗡️🧊
please don't use or claim as your own! unless you want to make me some gifts, which i would be very greatful for.
cringe mode activated, time to talk about my fictive memories as if they were real and not our brain coping. i've accepted it, don't worry, its just fun to talk about.
so, i'm from an au. not much changed, zhongli was more of like a, figurehead like a british monarch, but was also still just a fucking nerd. i was his bodyguard for a bit. you can imagine how it went. he was seven foot tall, betrayed the shit out of me and did have a sexy dragon form. it was basically a fanfiction.
diluc ended up part of the fatui after realising that our stuff actually made sense and wasn't stupid - we were trained together. he never went back to mondstadt. he was five foot tall, beat me up constantly and he was great. the others find it hilarious how different my diluc was to our old diluc fictive.
i could talk about everyone else i knew, but this is already getting too long and i can't talk about everything, because i would be here forever. sadly.
i was a gay mess. no surprises there. everything was pretty much the same with me, except i got did in universe, i don't know how that works either.
my memories stop at like, the liyue arc. i think. though i did know yoimiya and xinyan. i should do them next, but i'll just do that with that redesign series we are doing.
and my thoughts on the new fontaine arc are 'it is not the first time i've been in prison or the last. or the first time i've been beaten up by a dragon guy either. people thinking i'm dead is hilarious. i'm just having a gay old time discovering my backstory.'

I am like a lot of the fandom anxious, nervous, freaking out about 6.6 and what will happen to our Chenford. I am thinking I may wait to watch the episode until after I read reviews or see the updates here from all you lovely people. If I know they are still together then I go an watch but if not then I can walk away. Because I know if a break up happens this one will kill me. I have not loved a couple like this in such a long time. The last time I really shipped a couple this hard was in Younger Omg that break up, if it was not for my love of Sutton Foster I would have stopped watching. We need our Chenford support system to help guide through this. Here is hoping our babies work through this. Because it will be devastating to the fandom. I need to stop reading stupid reviews that are someone's pov. I just read one from Screenrant where the author was talking about how this season especially the last episode is foreshadowing a devastating break up. Why do I let these people get into my head? Oh yeah tons of ship Trauma. Looking at you Scandal, Arrow, Grey's Anatomy, Outlander (I still watch because it is one the best shows on TV), Bones, Castle, Younger, Sex and the City, Friends...the list goes on.
Maybe that is part of the reason I hate angst so much I just always think it will lead that direction. Although I do have to say ST Voy did help a little when Tom and B'elanna got together yes there was angst as there will be with a human and half human/half Klingon who tends to lean closer to the Klingon side. They showed that it is possible to put a couple together let them have their differences and work stuff out without breaking up. I think more shows are going this way now.
I remember reading an interview that Alexi said (take what he says lightly). God I wish I could remember the interview because I laughed and shook my head yes when he said it. He said something along the lines of if they did anything to Chenford that he knows the entire fandom will hunt him down and cause a riot. I also read I am not sure if it was here I think it was in the notes of a fanfic I loved that Eric had responded to someone not sure where that they will not break up. Not sure how true that is, not that I am denying what the awesome fanfic writer, wrote in their notes. But would he really spill something that big? Also read somewhere not sure FB or here that Melissa said that the season finale was going to be big for them. Again who knows how true that is. I don't have IG, Tik Tok, Instagram.
Sorry for the long post. I started watching the Rookie because I love Nathan but I have kept watching because of Chenford. My PTST (Post Traumatic Ship Trauma) is coming through and rearing it's ugly head. I am a literal person so unless it is said directly I tend to not believe it and even then I question. So here is hoping our babies stay together and work this out. Because otherwise I think I will be broken, and will probably stop watching.
Love to you all❤️❤️❤️

Stupid question maybe but how do you find time and energy and excitement to read books?
Don't get me wrong, I like reading as a form of media. And I have a couple of fanfics I'm keeping up with, and even ones I reread. I think it's important for my vocabulary and on seeing the world. Surprisingly, a fanfic I read helped me a lot in understanding and processing complex trauma.
But at the same time, books intimidate me. I bought a book I know I want to read but actually reading it just scares me. Maybe this is the TikTok attention span (although I always just read with music and in bed). Or the fact I know the book is an emotional piece, either way I can't get myself to start.
Or perhaps it's the fact my brain feels overfull with so much that there's no place for new media unless it's in an universe I'm already familiar with, or forced down my throat by proxy/society.
Are you just inherently excited to read about stuff, or do you also have like a moment where you fight yourself to get started to read?
Also please feel free to ramble about more books you think people should read!
this is an EXCELLENT question, and one i don't know that i'm the best person to answer! i'm pretty flighty about reading and have only gotten back into it within the last two years or so, and largely during lockdown. i have a miserable, internet-y attention span as well, and with so much competing for our attention these days, it can be REALLY hard sitting down somewhere quiet with a book and tuning everything out. i definitely relate.
firstly, i think that fic is a great way to get back into reading! they build up your attention span, depending on the fic, and let you understand what kind of stories you like to read for free, even if it's involving characters you already know. reading work by your peers is always, always valuable.
specifically for the book you own that you know you want to read: make a date with the book! like, literally, set a date and time you know you're free, put an alarm in your phone. put the book somewhere you can see it every day. mentally prepare yourself for it as the hour approaches. do this until you find yourself wanting to pick it up on your own, or until you finish the book. making it a chore seems counterintuitive but sometimes it's the only way to get started.
more tips for getting back into reading in general are below the cut. in general i've sorta...bullied myself into remembering i enjoy this activity. that's also come with the realization that being kind to myself and knowing my preferences are key to building the habit up.
my more learned mutuals, if you have anything to add or books to recommend, please do!!
it's ok to only read what you want to read. it's ok to not finish books. you don't NEED to read big-brain nonfiction or archaic classics if you're not interested in them. and if you don't like something, put it down. you don't have to stay in the world if you don't like it!
use the one-third rule: this works for all other media too. if you start to read something and don't immediately jive with it, read until you're 1/3rd of the way through. if nothing's happened to grab you, that usually means that the book isn't for you and you can move on. you gave it a fair shake! you can let go! this often helps me realize i'm in the headspace for a different kind of story, and that's ok!
make it an accomplishment. i have an awful and ugly spreadsheet where i write down what books i've read this year, when i finished them, and what i thought. my favorite part of finishing a book is writing a short stupid review in this spreadsheet. it's only for me, and yet it feels good to check names off a list.
read books with peers. a huge part of why i read jane austen's novels was because i wanted to understand what everyone on tumblr was talking about, and it's been very fun!! as much as i begrudge it, i think this is the appeal of booktok, honestly — it's fun to meme on stories with your friends. you don't necessarily need to join a book club, but it can be really encouraging to read a book your friend recommended and read it so you can talk to/joke with them about it.
find out how you like to read, and when/where you'll actually do it. for instance, i haaaate audio books and refuse to read on my phone. i'll save good/exciting books to read on the exercise bike to reward myself for biking, or make a fancy coffee to accompany a book i'm struggling to start. treat yourself. trick your brain into associating the physical act of reading with the happy brain chemicals.
reread stuff you liked when you were into reading. i own most of my favorite books just for this purpose. there is no shame in rereading! there is no age limit on any book!! if i feel like my writing is suffering i will usually revisit a childhood favorite just to kickstart my brain.
books i would recommend for getting back into reading (these are all fiction and mostly fantasy/sci-fi. sorry. just what i'm into)
the princess bride by william goldman
a wizard of earthsea by ursula k. le guin
howl's moving castle by diana wynne jones
inkheart by cornelia funke
forestborn by elayne audrey becker
fireborne by rosaria munda
treasure island by robert louis stevenson (language is old, but it's a classic for a reason)
spinning silver by naomi novik. i liked uprooted by her too but it's not as universally loved. damn i should reread these
everyone go read temeraire right now please. thanks
a psalm for the wild-built by becky chambers
nettle & bone by t. kingfisher
the blue castle by l.m. montgomery
this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone
books i would recommend if you want something more toothsome
pride and prejudice by jane austen (again, language is old, but what a banger. persuasion is my favorite by her but a lot heavier)
another oldie: north and south by elizabeth gaskell (although it is often described as pride and prejudice but in the industrial era)
piranesi by susanna clarke
the lies of locke lamora by scott lynch (i would've put this in the previous category if i could. this is great fun, but SO dense)
feast of sorrow by crystal king
the left hand of darkness by ursula k. le guin
notes from the burning age by claire north
genuinely: shakespeare. if you liked a play when you were in school you should reread it as an adult, on your own terms, with a glossary pulled up. they take at most 2 hours to read. i prommy.
i hope...any of this is helpful. again, mutuals, please feel free to add recs or tips <3

#stop!! underestimating !! lando !! norris!! it's just bc his slip ups get so so big like come on!!!!!!!!!
No, but as a fan of multiple drivers, I've noticed this with Lando so much.
Like this narrative that "he doesn't have that dog in him" when he doesn't kill his tyres fighting Max, yet when Charles essentially said he didn't fight Max because he knew his real fight was with George/Mercedes after Abu Dhabi, he was praised for playing it smart.
Same thing with the quali errors while pushing for pole. Charles admitted last year when he was putting it into the barriers every other quali because he wanted pole, not P2. He was routinely praised for legitimately wrecking his car and creating damage for the mechanics to repair before the race. Lando just suffers from spins/lock ups and he's washed, his career is over, he's feeling too much pressure from his teammate, etc. etc. Same thing with Lewis even admitting his quali wasn't strong this year. He admits that and says he wants to improve on it, he's praised for it. Lando criticizes his Saturday performances and admits he needs to work on them, he's mentally weak, he'll never win a race, he always chokes under pressure, etc.
And I do think a lot of the narrative around him has to do with his struggles with mental health and him being so open about them. Hell, we've seen Checo seemingly lose it all after convincing himself he could challenge Max for a championship, we've heard him have moments on the radio, yet I don't see article after article about his mental health and questioning if he will be able to cope with the pressures of F1. I think it's ridiculous how he advocates for mental health and somehow people assume that makes him weak or not able to cope with the pressure necessary to win races. (I also think it's ridiculous that we allow this toxicity to exist to the point that he's even now being WARNED by retired drivers like Nico and Jenson to not give so much insight into his mental health unless he wants the media and his competitors to use that against him. Like it is just wild to me that even the good things he tries to do are somehow spun into negatives).
Idk sorry for the rant, Lando just gets SO much unnecessary hate (and I'm not saying that Charles, Lewis, or any other driver I've mentioned in this ask doesn't, but it's just weird to me this seemingly impossible standard that people try to hold Lando to. George can outperform Lewis on the rare weekend and I don't see quite literally everyone saying Lewis is washed with nobody defending him. Carlos can get Ferrari's only win in a year and I don't see people claiming Charles is a washed waste of a seat with nobody defending him. Like idk it's just wild to me. And idk it's sad to know that he's basically chronically online and has already confirmed that he reads the shit people say about him and call him).
charles: i am stupid the world: oh baby no you're not! you were just trying your best <3 better luck next time!
lando: (gets anywhere slightly what's expected of him, not taking into account what's realistic with the car/tyres/strategy/track he's got) the world: boo, lando nowins, washed, can't drive, why's he still here, paid driver, etc etc etc blah blah blaaahhhh
and god !! the mental health topic !! you're so right about that too. it's unbelievable how his openness is seen as a vulnerability when it could be the strongest power he's ever had. this gruesome sport needs them so so badly but these disgusting and dumb toxic-masculinity mindset pathetic excuse of men are ruining the one man with enough balls to speak up about it.
never apologise for ranting, love! i agree w every word you say.
lando gets so much unnecessary hate targeted specifically at his supposed lack of ability when he continues to prove time and time again just how fucking talented and able he is. i so, so hope that lando sees us praising him besides all the hate. but, knowing what we see from him, i doubt he'd believe the good stuff easier than the bad stuff.

Junker Queen x Chubby Fem Reader Headcanons (SFW & NSFW)
Tumblr media
Requested by: the head archivist, because there isn't anything out there with this prompt that I could find (a crime if you ask me) There is an indication where the NSFW starts :)
⁍ First of all, you cannot convince me that this woman wouldn't prefer to date a bigger girl
⁍ Chubbyness was literally seen as a sign of royalty and this woman still sticks to that belief (as she should)
⁍ Saw you walking down the street and went "Awooga das mine now" (of course, Odessa wouldn't actually just pluck you off the street (unless you wanted her to))
⁍ She'd try her best to somehow find a natural way to talk to you she knows, after all, how intimidating it could be for LITERAL ROYALTY to just show up and talk to you
⁍ Prays for you to show up in the arena some day. Not because she wants to beat you up, but just to find some common ground to talk
⁍ Yeah no way that's gonna happen
⁍ You'd probably meet in a pub you work at, being nothing short of honored to serve the Junker Queen herself
⁍ Finds your politeness incredibly entertaining and intentionally teases you to make you feel more comfortable (also pisses you off, but it worked ig?)
⁍ Calls you stupid nicknames all night and tries to make small talk
⁍ The night ends with her just blatantly saying she finds you hot and exchanging numbers
⁍ She invites you out on a date a few days later, and that's when you both really kick it off
⁍ Odessa is gonna be really touchy from the beginning, but also constantly asking if you're okay with it
"Hey can I hold your hand?"
"We literally violently made out twenty minutes ago"
"Yeah, but can I?"
⁍ So sweet with it too, like dhdhdjksjs
⁍ It's wild how this seven foot, muscular and intimidating woman walks next to you like a pathetic puppy /pos
⁍ Also carries you around a lot, simply because she can. Oh no, you wore heels that make your ass look great but feet hurt like a mf? "Piggyback ride or bridal style?"
⁍ Looks for any excuse to (gently) slap your ass. Bent over? Slap. Lying on your stomach? Slap. Literally just standing there? Guess what, slap. Just loves watching it jiggle ngl
⁍ Absolutely LOVES it when you wear clothes that show off your body in any way, whether that be stuff that shows your curves off a bit more or full on sky's out thighs out
⁍ Would actually melt if you wore something that matches her clothes
⁍ Stares at you so much that others start to think she's going to murder you (Dess is just admiring you)
⁍ Probably shows you off to the public a lot
⁍ Makes you a throne next to hers, but you'll rarely, if ever, use it since she just makes you sit on her lap (she calls that position the 'reverse pillow')
⁍ Would purposely bounce her leg just to watch your boobs bounce ( her favorite activity)
⁍ LOVES it when you sit in her lap and do her makeup. You could have literally done the worst job anyone could ever do, and she'd be "gosh babe that looks so good!" and walk around with it all day
⁍ Wears your clothes for funsies
⁍ Don't be surprised if she returns them with holes or burn marks
⁍ If that upset you for whatever reason, she be at your doorstep the next day with designer clothes she got from god knows where
⁍ When you're both in a different country that's cold asf, she will warm herself using your body. Hope you like ice cold hands :)
⁍ She lives your tibbies <3
⁍ Dess is constantly using you as a pillow and has fallen asleep in very uncomfortable positions on top of you
NSFW
⁍ Mommy dommy cannot convince me otherwise
⁍ Almost always cares about your pleasure more than she does hers, but she'll absolutely be more selfish if she's had a rough day
⁍ She is PACKING those tounge piercings if you know what I mean
⁍ Definitely has a thing for knifes ngl. If you're not comfortable with that, she'd use blunt or fake ones
⁍ Probably like half the fandom has agreed on this but THRONE SEX. Her favorite activity probably
⁍ Will occasionally sit you down on her throne, put her crown on your head and gobble up that kitty cat
⁍ This woman eats you out like it's her last meal on death row. Odessa could go on for hours if you let her
⁍ Million dollar pussay
⁍ Do you smell that? Yeah, that's a praise and mommy kink 2-in-1 deal.
⁍ Call her mommy and she'll go from fast and rough to cooing at you while significantly slowing down her speed, calling you baby and praising you even more than before
⁍ Absolutely loves suckling on your tits, will also use teeth if you let her
⁍ She isn't into public sex, but will finger you under a table full of important diplomats if you ask nicely
⁍ Loves to try new things and will gladly stop holding herself back if you ask her to. (don't blame her if you can't feel your legs after though)
⁍ If she's in one of her "I will eat you like a starved woman until you beg me to stop" phases, she doesn't even need any kind of stimulation to get off, literally cums in her pants multiple times just from getting you off
⁍ Please use her face as a throne, please, please, please
⁍ If you're hovering above her even just slightly, she will force you in onto her mouth, claiming that even if she did die, it must've meant she wasn't worthy enough
⁍ This woman doesn't even need a strap with how long her fingers are dear god
⁍ She'll make you sit on her thigh and tell you to grind yourself against her (just loves watching how your body moves tbh)
⁍ Wear lingerie and this woman will absolutely lose it. Will buy you sets that she thinks would look cute on you after that.
⁍ Aftercare is so sweet too <3
⁍ Prepares a bath for you and massages your sore muscles while praising you for how well you did

Do you have any tips on trying to self learn martial arts? I was looking specifically at Muay Thai, because it uses elbows and knees, but literally anything is good, I just have no clue where to start.
-Riley
Muay Thai is one of my favorites as stated before so great choice honestly. The thing with Muay Thai though is that a lot of the strikes do best when you can actually strike something as a lot of the strikes use a lot of momentum, and some of the fancier kicks can really be hard to preform in a shadow boxing manner due to how you have to move - so self learning Muay Thai will likely hit a wall at a certain point unless you have a sparing partner, a kick shield set up, or a good heavy punching bag since having that physical contact and grounded weighted "opponent" is caked into some of the moves.
With that being said, a lot of the core fundamentals and body shit for Muay Thai is more than still possible to practice at home without even having a bag or any target other than a good and proper wall (and light switch if you wanna have fun with it)
For example, a lot of Muay Thai moves and basics comes from the general stance (videos below) and the general way to stand while kicking and blocking as - if you didn't know - kicking often puts you on one leg and there is a form of balance and control that needs to be learned to get any of the kicks landing solidly.
For that in particular, most people would learn the basic stance and basic theory of how to stand and kick from someone else experienced (usually in person, but you can definitely find it online) and then usually one of the tips for people struggling is to go home find a wall and lift your leg up and tap the wall with your toes before bring it back. You could also learn the theory of the jab kick and do that specifically, but if you are learning the balance, so much as just using one leg to touch the wall is a good place to start. A particularly fun but "totally not recommended childish" thing is to do this exact thing, but to flick a light switch on and off. It'd piss off any home owner and you dont want to *kick* it on and off, but it is really good for getting that one legged balance and foot dexterity while feeling like a stupid child about it.
Once you get the general balance down, itd look into basic foot work (helps with fluidity and masking tells, this is something you should work on chronically though if you are dedicated), the jab / push kick (for distancing), low roundhouse, and blocking with the legs from some of the dedicated youtube stuff.
Additionally, if you have a friend that either is a masochist that trusts you, you can also run through the motions of strikes and keep the force to like 5% and / or pull back / pull the kicks and not actually strike them, but I would not recommend that to newbies or people without martial arts training since kicks, particularly high momentum driven ones like round houses, can be hard to control if you aren't confident and used to them.
I'm shocked we havent gotten the police called on us for the amount of times we just casually start a kick or punch or strike at our fiance but either not actually hitting him or stopping and then just tapping him playfully.
Also, if you do have a friend that would also be interested, you could always benefit massively by both just getting decent quality shin guards and actually sparing because sparring practice is one of the best ways to learn practical Muay Thai and it makes me kinda sad we only had time to go to a few of the sparring sessions.
I don't follow as much Muay Thai stuff on youtube as much cause I'm a Wing Chun Primary Simp and I'm currently focusing on expanding Wing Chun skills and repertoire but some of the links below I generally skimmed seemed decent starting introduction stuff and the channels - if you like them - probably have more in depth explanations for things than I could put in a single text post.
This first one looks good, it is a bit heavy so I wouldn't suggest all of this in one day and it is a lot for one time but it seems a good brief coverage of a lot of things you could practice.
The second one seems less in depth in the explanations on how to do things, but it seems more beginner friendly in terms of pacing and information.
That being said for both of these I only skimmed them so I might be wrong.

OMG IM SO EXCITED TO THIS INSTALMENT ARGHHHH I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DO
Word count : 4k
Warnings : mention of food and dieting , Weed
IM SO EXCITED
Tumblr media
Mattys POV
(A week or so has gone by since last instalment)
Oh my god things have been wild lately, George is finally visiting today he's going to be here for at least ten days I believe and I can't bloody wait for it. I couldn't sleep last night we were up all night on FaceTime, he fell asleep eventually because he "didn't wanna look like complete shit when we first met", which is stupid because he can't look bad in anyway , to me. His train was due at 4 this afternoon but since I hadn't slept I had started getting ready at 7am , showered, dressed in skinny jeans and a floral shirt that I'm sure I stole from my mum once upon a time and my Docs because what else would I wear, I had spent at least half an hour just trying to make sure my hair didn't look like a damn bird nest or that I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards, brushed my teeth and even had some breakfast. It was now 8:30 and I'm pacing, like actually pacing because I hate waiting. He'd texted me this morning but he doesn't want to show me his outfit because he wants it to be a surprise so in turn I said I wouldn't show him mine which is hell because I love this shirt so much and love showing it off. On what feels like my fifth lap of the house my dad had tried to convince me to sit down for a bit but even if I did it would be roughly five minutes before I was up and moving again. So in turn he'd asked if I wanted to go for a drive which I accepted gratefully. I think he was taking me to Tesco to pick up some stuff for dinner later.
We were just walking around the shop my dad pushing the trolley and me just shoving literally anything in it. "So this lad then, George is it?" , I nod with a smile on my face. "What are we to call him, like is he your boyfriend or just a friend who you like, or just a normal friend". My dads just amazing always trying to understand things
"For now he's just a friend that I like but Um we're somewhat both interested in one another but haven't asked the question yet, so please don't call him my boyfriend yet because I haven't asked and don't want to scare him away yet", I throw at least five packets of noodles into the trolley. "He likes noodles , is that enough or should I get more?"
"Son , your gunna work yourself into a headache just breath okay, I'm sure everything is going to be just fine" , I take a few deep breaths and we continue on through the shop. Stopping to drop a few more things in.
"Uh Dad, Would it be okay if we got some alcohol?, I promise I won't over do it" , I know he probably can't trust a word I say because I can't prove that I won't but I really want him to trust me.
"I'll be honest lad , I think we'll have to ask your mum first and we can come back later if she says it's okay" , we just ponder around a few more isles and drop random things into the trolley "you haven't smoked today have you!"
"Not yet no , why?"
"Would you like to drive the car home ?" , we loading stuff onto the check outs , I do have my lisence I got it last year and I do have a car but my mum and dad took my keys after the crash with Janey because they didn't trust me in the car unless I was with one
of them.
"Are you sure dad!"
"If you'd like son , just be careful yeh?"
"Oki thank you dad , honestly thank you", I threw my arms around him and he held me just for a second and we made our way to the checkouts putting all the items through and packing them up, I'm a little meticulous about the packing and how to do it so dad just lets me do it my way "Also da , we need to go to the pharmacy my medication is ready to pick up"
"Which ones is it where picking up today lad ?" , we'd picked up like 2 other ones this week but I think they were for anxiety and anti-sickness but these ones are just supplements for food.
"Just food equivalent to help me get my appetite back like the ones I had years ago" , my dad payed for the food swiping his card across the card reader and waved goodbye too the cashier as we leave and as he's packing up the car I jump in the front seat and get myself accustom with the steering and gears again.
"You all ready then Son", he jumps into the passenger side and buckled up eager to see how well I do
"As I'll ever be ,I guess"
The drive to the pharmacy wasn't to bad to be fair, I'm still a pretty good driver and my dad said I did well so I'm happy about that. I didn't want to go in again for like the 3rd day running so Dad went in for me giving me a second to just breath and reply to George. Last message I got he was still getting ready he doesn't have to leave for the station till around about 1 and it's only 9:30, I think we both just got a little to eager.
MATTY: my dad let me drive !!!!
GEORGE: yeh ?, how did you do?
MATTY: haven't driven in a while so thought I'd mess up a little but it actually went okay, we've been to Tesco to get food for the next few days , we're at the pharmacy now and then where going home and I think I'm going to tidy my room cuz it's an actual pigsty might ask mum to help
GEORGE : don't have to tidy for me love, my rooms a shit tip
MATTY: I will anyway
As my dad came back I slid my phone back into my pocket he handed me my medicine to make sure it was the right thing because he really had no idea what is was called , neither did I to be honest but it looked right so I just flung it on the dashboard and we made our way back home
We unpacked the bags in the kitchen as Loius ran around looking literally as excited as I felt as he'd grown to really like George too they interacted a lot over the past week , and when I told him George was coming to visit he got so darn happy he climbed up onto the middle island in the kitchen and watched us unpack
"How long till Georgie is here Maffu ?"
"He's coming today little dude but it's still a long time yet" , after unpacking the last bag I pick loius up and manoeuvre him so he's on my back, and I carry him back up stairs and flip him onto my bed " you gunna help Maffu clean up ?"
"I don't wanna tidy Maffu but I'll watch", he's always just soooo me and it makes me laugh and ruffle his hair again as he looks up at my with the big smile and those big blue eyes.
"That's okay, can you get Mummy for me then"
"Oki", he jumps back off the bed and runs through the house , leaving me stood in the middle of the room looking around trying to figure out where to start, it really is such a mess in here, mugs and plates everywhere, piles of clothes, shoes just milking around , stacks and stack of books , dvds and cds and my bed isn't even made. I get lost in my thoughts when I here a knock on my door that makes me jump.
"Sorry love didn't mean to startle you, what was it you needed me for?"
"Can you possibly help me tidy up in here , I don't know where to start and it's so bad" , she looks around just as baffled as me, then strides over and pulls me into a hug.
"Love ,what happened in here?"
"I just haven't had the effort or will power to clean up Mum, sorry" , I hug her close and then as we separate herself we both look around and make a mental note on where to start
"Right first of all love , take all the dishes downstairs and ask you dad if he can clean them up , then come back up and we can sort your clothes out okay", I nod and then get to picking up the cups and plates grimacing when I realise how bad it actually is. I run downstairs with the dirty plates and mugs dropping them carefully into the sink, then run back up the stairs two at a time to help mum. "What clothes are clean and what aren't love ?"
"Most of its clean it just needs to be folded and put away really", it takes me a few more seconds to actually sit down and start folding a pile that was next to where I stood, Im so bad at keeping up with cleaning it bores me. I noticed mum stand up and start putting clothes into drawers and stops to look at something already in the drawer
"Matty , love what are these?”
I drop the shirt I was folding onto the floor as I know exactly what she was talking about as I know what I’d been hiding in that drawer, I scratch the back of my neck as I breath in ALL the air that was in the room and try to piece a reply together. My mouth opens and closes a few times but no words leave my mouth.
“Matty love?”
“It’s nothing important Mum, just put it back please” , I take three big stride across to her and place my hands around the books “Mum seriously it’s nothing”
She did let me take them and shove them back the drawer as she takes a tentative seat on my bed and pats the space next to her. “Sit down for a minute please my love” , once I’ve got the books properly back into the drawer and place myself down next to her. “Can you please tell me why you feel the need to have books about dieting love”.
“It’s not important Mumma , it doesn’t mean anything, I just have them”
“First off Matty , I’ve been keeping an eye on everything to do with your eating habits for a while and I know there not very good , your skin and bone love , and you only ever call me Mumma when your anxious , so please you know I’m not going to be mad , can you please explain to me why?”
I know she won’t be mad and I know it’s not something that’s that big of a deal but its still scary to talk about , so as I think of the right words to say I just ponder in my mind what I need and look around my room as I try to explain. “It’s just about the element of control , I was losing control of everything in my life and I was freaking out so bad you know , like I had zero semblance of control, but then I found a book at school about diets like I know people diet duh , but um when I read it, a lot of it was about how people diet to gain control over something, so I tried and I read a lot of them but then I even lost control of that and I’m scared again so I hid them so I wasn’t as embarrassed about losing control of even that and people wouldn’t ask if they saw and I wouldn’t ave to talk about it”
“Matty , I know things are hard right now love , and I’m proud that your talking to me , but why couldn’t you tell me earlier”
“I don’t know Mum really, I guess I just didn’t know how to” , I got back up from my bed and went back over to the drawer taking the books back out and contemplated them for a while. “Can you take them Mum”
“What would you like me to do with them?”
“Just don’t let me have them I guess , I’m going to try to get better , Dr Adrian gave me the medication for it and I’m gunna work harder at everything I promise”. I get back to the cleaning of my room “Mum?”
“Yes love”
“I’m sorry for how I’ve been lately and I’m sorry for worrying everyone, I also appreciate you for letting George come because he really helps me be a better version of myself and I really hope you can see that when he’s here , I know I haven’t known him that long but he really does help me”
“I’m so glad that you’ve found someone that you can talk to Matty , you don’t have to apologise everyone goes through hard times , you’ve just got to pick yourself up and if you need help keep talking , be it to me or George or your dad even Louis , I know he’s just a kid but even if you talk you’ll feel better”
“Thank you”
It takes us a few more hours to tidy up my room it really was a state , and I talked to my Mum the whole time about how I felt about everything and anything. When we had finished the tidying and cleaning up it looked like a completely different room I hadn’t seen it like this in at least a month.
It’s now 12:30 and although I’m more than excited to see George the restlessness was starting to get to me again, George had informed me he was on his way to the train station now his train was at 2 and it took him an hour to get to the station. It was getting harder to not be nervous because I was really just watching the time tick by. I’d rolled a joint after I’d finished cleaning my room but hadn’t got round to smoke it yet because dads trying to keep me busy until we have to go because he knows if I’m just sitting waiting then I’m going to get irritable. With this being the first time I’d had a break today I decided to just let them know I’m going for a smoke. So now I’m just sat outside on the front porch relaxing as I smoke the joint.
Matty: I’m so nervous darling x
George: I’m actually shutting a brick 😂 , would your dad mind if I went for smoke when I got off the train or would he wanna get going straight away ?x
Matty: He won’t mind , I’m sure he’d understand
George : I’ll be grand then , will you be waiting for me on the platform or will I meet you outside.
Matty : I’ll wait on the platform you dick😂
George : thanks love x
I slide my phone back into my pocket and finish my joint before making my way inside, I know it’s lunchtime and I should eat but I’m not the hungry yet but Louis came running through to the kitchen and attached himself to my leg “How long now Maffu” , I picked him up and put him on the counter while messing up his hair, he’s got a lollipop hanging out his mouth so I didn’t really catch what he said, I took the sweat out of his mouth for a second.
“What was that kid ?”
He smiled a lopsided grin at me and rolled his eyes dramatically , so much like me. “How long till Georgie is here silly?”, I gave him back his sweet and he shoved it back into his mouth even though I was just holding it my hand was sticky so I turned the tap on and started washing my hands
“He’s getting on the train really soon , then daddy and I will go get him , do you want to come too?”, he again smiled at me his eyes growing to the size of bowling balls and he take his sweet out of his mouth again.
“Can I ?”
“If you want too kiddo , just finish up with your sweet and wash your hands and then we can talk cuz that’s going to take you ages to eat”
“I don’t want it anymore, you have it” , he went to hand it to me but I told him that’s it’s okay and just to put it in the bin , he runs back over to me, I lift him up and help him wash his hands. “Will George play with me when he comes ??”
“I’m sure he will Kiddo”
I spent the next few hours just playing about with Louis , on the play station, watching tv with him , helped him with some homework that he had left around about 2:30 he fell asleep on my lap while we were watching the TV , George had texted me saying that he was now on the train half an hour ago, and we should be leaving in an hour because it doesn’t all to long from ours to get to the station here, so I took Louis idea into consideration and tried to take a nap myself which in theory maybe wasn’t the best idea but I was starting to get tired so that I did , I set an alarm on my phone for 45 minutes so I could get my head down for a little while. I layed myself down trying not to disturb Louis and sleep consumed me
My alarm woke us both up at 3:15 , Louis was not too happy with it, he was still tired and he was throwing a little hissy fit “hey kiddo , I know your tired and I know you wanted to come to pick Georgie up but you need to calm down for me so we can get ready to go can you find your shoes for me ay ?” , he just clung to me his tiny frame shaking as he cried “hey hey hey it’s okay , you can have another nap you know , come on kiddo no need for tears”
“But I’m still sleepy , I wanna go bed” , as I got myself he was still clinging to me so I decided to take him upstairs to bed his head was resting on my shoulder the whole time. “Maffu , is it okay if I just stay here”
“It’s okay kiddo , just get a big nap for me and when you wake up George will be here and you can play all day yeh” , he nodded against me as I lay him down on his bed and tucked him up and kissed his head
“I’ll see you later okay”
“Okay Maffu”
I got myself completely got my leather jacket from my room , checked to see if my dad was ready, he let me know that he was just going to finish his tea and then we’d get going. So I just waited by the door, annoying I know but I just wanted to get going. Once he was ready I raced out to the car like I was 7 again jumping into the passenger side as my dad made his way to driver seat and we got going. I couldn’t help my leg bouncing up and down anxiously the whole way there, I’d bitten my nails raw Mum would have killed me for it but dad doesn’t mind. I’d chain smoked the whole ride there out the window of course and really it wasn’t that bad the train station was just half an hour away so it was really not to bad. We got to the station with 15 minutes to spare so I checked my hair in the middle mirror of the car and started fussing with my outfit until my dad told me again that I looked absolutely fine and to stop worrying , I sat and waited for literally only two minutes before I decided I just wanted to go in and wait so I just told my Dad that I’d let him know when I’ve got George and we’re going to have a smoke before we come back, he gave me a quick nod and smile before I got out and made my way inside
Inside the station was so busy, people milling about the place, so much sounds and smells, it was so hot in there as well but I tried to gather myself and push through I saw that the train from London was going to be arriving on platform 3, I started making my way there but there was quite a lot of people waiting there aswell and I could feel myself getting anxious and my nerves were getting the best of me so I hung back and just sent George a quick message letting him know that I am inside but I’m not on the platform because it looked busy, he replied not to long free to let me know that it was okay and he’d call me once he departed the train and I could let him know where I was which helped me alot. I decided to wait outside WHSmith a small convenience store that was off to the side of the platforms , True to his word after a small five minutes more of waiting my phone started to buzz in my hand and George’s contact appeared on my screen
“Hey there”
“Hiya love , that’s me just coming off , where is it your at ?, you doing okay it’s not to busy for you is it ?”
“I’m stood outside smiths , I’m okay for now it’s not to busy round here I’ll be okay, I just really can’t wait to see you now”
“I’ll can see it , from where Im at so I should be there in no time at all handsome”
I couldn’t help but smile , my heart was racing , basically jumping out of my chest in anticipation, I could hardly wait, there wasn’t much conversation going on between us we were both just keeping an eyes out for each other, He soon caught my eye “I can see you , you lanky fuck”, despite feeling nervous and anxious about everyone around us the fact that I could see him sent a jolt of pure joy through me and I felt my legs starting to race to him. As I began running to me I could see the moment he clocked me and he just dropped his suitcase open his arms to me and I ran into his arms and burried my face in his chest pushing my phone into my pocket without even hanging up. We stayed there in each other arms for what felt like an age not saying anything just holding each other and it felt so right
“Hiya handsome” , I pulled away first but not all the way just enough so I could look up and his and the smile on his face was everything I needed to feel relaxed. I could feel the blush rising on my cheeks already. “Jesus , you really ARE a lanky twat aren’t ya” his smile grew bigger if that was even possible and we giggled to each other and he pulled me closer to him
Once we’d sorted ourselves out taking at least another five minutes just holding one another we were just stood line idiots smiling at each other and he eventually picked his suitcase back up and I’d sorted my phone in my pocket I took his hand and lead him outside to the smoking area.
“Babe , you looks so cool, by the way” , I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard the word babe leave his mouth and it had my blushing even more than I thought humanly possible and I took his hand that was in mine and kissed it as we both giggled again.
“You look so fit”

And this is why I am insane now
Tumblr media
WHY IS IT DISPLAYING LIKE THIS? LITERALLY EVERY OTHER FEATURED IMAGE DISPLAYS IN FULL!
Tumblr media
I wanted a better theme. I have spent two days reformatting so I can use this one. I will need to spend many more. BUT THERE IS LITTLE POINT IF THE DAMN THING IS STILL GOING TO GRAB THE CONTROLS LIKE A BOEING 737 MAX AND PLOW ME INTO THE TERRAIN.
I don't even have the strength to explain the little dance I need to do to make my work legible again. I can't actually code a whole website from scratch and it wouldn't matter if I could because that's not how WP works. This stuff I'm doing isn't even future-proof because I can't build a site with the new "site wide editor" interface. The damn thing is almost entirely unusable. If I do it that way I'm gonna look incredibly freakin' generic and I'll still have to reformat everything for the privilege of looking minimalist chic. That sort of thing clashes very badly with my art style, all of it.
I made some new buttons and accordions. They work for now. But I'm incredibly nervous about the way they load. It seems like there's a default that loads first, and then my style loads on top of it like a skin. That is way more complex than it should be and I expect it to break at any time - like everything else broke, necessitating this overhaul. I put a lot of work into getting them like that... I put a lot of work into all of this, but it's getting more and more convoluted and fragile.
I am hoping like hell something about the image loaded wrong the first time and it's just like that in my cache, even though I've changed the name once. I don't have the energy to screw around with my cache on this new computer now. Maybe tomorrow. Well, it's after midnight. Maybe today.
And Milo's cards seem to have vanished. I have a new format for those that is ENTIRELY text-based (I'll have to explain eventually, but I just can't now. It's much less complex and less likely to fail, and it's accessible, but it has little personality and I'm not 100% it works on mobile.) but I need to reformat EVERYTHING. It is taking A LONG TIME. Because of weird errors like the above.
I was so excited for this theme's category tag feature. I can theoretically serve you content so prettily! But, right now, I haven't even successfully reformatted all the new stuff. And Tin Soldier is a train wreck that is only partially legible in dark mode if you're patient.
People who need accessible content, please believe me, I am not trying to screw you. The tools they're willing to let me have are stupid, unless I want to pay hundreds of dollars on spec for various upgrades... And even then they're still gonna be stupid, just with fewer standard features dummied out on purpose. There are no descriptions on the above images or on many at my site because I get so damn tired doing everything else. (Also, the box they give me for typing alt text is comically small.)
I know someone who knows how to code for real and he offered to help, but... Well, first off, this isn't normal code. If it were normal code, I'd be building a little Angelfyre page with nothing more complicated than an image and a midi. And I don't wanna inflict this on anyone.
I don't know what I'm gonna do, but it can't stay like it is. I'll sleep on it and have a look at the options when my brain's working. If it ever works again.

I see a lot of people not liking the new little mermaid live action casting because Ariel is black and I think that’s stupid people should care that they casted a person who couldn’t sing as Ursula and also the movie is going to be bad not because of the main actress but because Disney is going to fuck up the plot like they have with every single live action remake
Yeah, honestly. A black version of The Little Mermaid had potential imo, but the more I think about it, and as I look at the cast, I just see issues.
They didn't even make Ariel's family a black family, and, not to sound like a hotep or anti-divestor or whatever it is, but I don't love the subliminal of a black girl forfeiting her culture, family, her magical mermaid-ness and her voice for a white prince. I just feel like that's a little bit odd...
Tumblr media
I don't get why they couldn't have set it in the West Indies and had a mostly black/Caribbean cast? I feel like that setting would feel right. I guess my hopes were too high though.
+Awkwafina as Scuttle and Daveed Diggs as Sebastian... I mean first of all, I don't love the casting, but second of all I AM AFRAID TO SEE THESE CGI FISH TALKING after the Lion King 2019 bro 💀 And this time, they'll be the minority so I feel like it'll be weirder to see their unemotional eyes.
Tumblr media
AYY AYY AYY THAT RIGHT THERE'S A DINGLEHOPPER
Tumblr media
This ting ominously speaking shaky Patois imagine 💀
Tumblr media
AYO IT'S LIVE ACTION FLOUNDER 💀💀💀💀
And that's not even discussing the actual movie itself, that's just the surface level stuff. I'm with you in thinking that the actual content of the movie will be watered down, unless they plan to change the story a lot but I don't see them doing that too much. They have said that Ariel will have a little more power in this version, so whatever they do with that, and the additional run-time, we can only hope will actually be impactful and inspiring.
Sidebar: I love the original, but Eric always reminds me of that guy from the episode of Bojack where Diane goes to Vietnam and pretends to not speak English... Like, bro, you're literally happy to basically talk to yourself the whole time and never even pass her a piece of paper or something 😬? But yeah, in a live-action version, I feel like it will be harder to suspend the disbelief that Eric never thought to get a piece of paper. Or maybe he will? But then I don't see how Ursula could intervene in that case.
I personally feel like there's a certain wonder and magic to stylised animation that 'live-action' (cause Lion King 2019 was 'live' animals right...? It was an animated remake, just realistic) versions don't really capture. I kind of remember enjoying Jungle Book (2016) when it came out, but I think they attempted to make it less magical and a bit more intimidating/gritty in the remake, which kind of worked (though, it's not something I'd go out of my way to rewatch).
Coral reefs, mermaids and romance though? I don't really see them executing that in a live-action well. Like, maybe it's just me, but the OG was a lot of jokes/light-heartedness (aside from the ending, which I think has potential to be really cool & terrifying in the live-action version), I don't really feel like that charm will translate when you try and bring it into the real world.
ALSO SORRY I rewatched parts of the movie I don't remember as well to make this post, not Ursula calling Ariel "THE LITTLE TRAMP" cause she was about to get kissed 💀💀. That's sort of another area where I feel like it'll be harder to suspend disbelief when they're trying to set it in reality with this medium (?)... if Ariel, looking like Halle Bailey, was trying to kiss Eric, irl that mf wouldn't hesitate, what are we even talking about 🤣🤣?!
But anyways, I'll be going to watch it, both to show some love for black female lead and because I love going to the cinema. The racists can keep their "go woke, go broke" shit, we not going broke, baby.
To finish, I know people find it annoying but I hope they at least put hints of a environmental conservation spin on it, since coral reefs like the one Ariel lives in are dying out :(

I mean I guess from my perspective I've already explained myself pretty well, but I've had so many conversations with so many different people at this point that maybe some of it is blurring together. We ARE discussing the possibility of personality disorders that somewhat warp my perception of the truth and as I've said, I've pretty much lost the ability to empathize wirh her at all because, again, I'm constantly expected to put myself on the line for her bssicslly by obligation but when I need some emotional understanding or support, well, I get talked over, I get invalidated, I get mocked.
Oh text Miranda from across the house for a glass of water because you have a headache and emotionally badger her until she does it, but when she's so congested she can barely eat or breathe, let the litterbox literally start molding waiting for her to recover because 'I just don't like how it smells'. Oh, your super depressed daughter who's been physically abused by the husband you barely knew before getting married to is depressed and isn't going to school/doesn't have a job? Better make sure that any time you ask her for anything, if she doesn't feel like it, shove down her throat that she sits at home all day anyways while you're at work, but don't worry, when your daughter is the one working manual labor jobs and you're unemployed sitting on the couch all day, you'll just use AGE as an excuse and still badger and insult her when she's too sore to get out of bed! When I was A CHILD literally falling apart from clear mental illness and literal actual disability, I'm told I need to exercise more, im told "oh you're like a self fulfilling prophecy, it's like you WANT to be this way, it's like you give up and MAKE bad things happen to you" but when she wastes DECADES going to doctors trying to investigate issues that are just symptoms of things she already diagnosed with I'm just the absolute fucking devil for implying the reason why her body aches is because she's been overweight and physically sedentary fir big portions of her life and she barely gets any vitamin D let alone exercise
Oh, I need to apply myself more, oh, I need to have more confidence in myself, oh I need to buy things for myself if I want them, but then I start buying things for my hair and my skin and makeup because I like those things and there are also problems I am legitimately trying to fix and then it's "oh you're overdoing it, oh you're wasting money, oh you're making it worse, oh are you even researching any of this" when she's the one telling me stupid bullshit like "when you shave it grows back thicker, I had a friend in my younger days that was a dermatologist and that was what she said" 🙄
All the times she lost jobs because she just kept oversleeping and oversleeping or quit just because she lost her temper and suddenly we're on foodstamps and going to pantries again. Having to get cars every few years because she treats them poorly and they keep breaking down and then she has to take out loans or make payments to get another shitty car and then she'll forget about older payments until they're being sent to collections and they're coming after her (she literally doesn't answer her phone unless she's expecting a call because she's gotten collections calls for YEARS) and now there's stuff on my credit report because she put shit in my name and forgot about them
I literally keep turning around and there are LISTS of mistakes she had made that have significant and often financial consequences and she does them over and over and over! There were times she was taking out loans to try and get degrees and literally finished none of them. Cosmetology school, TWICE. A community college for idk a computer degree or something, never finished. Something for university of Phoenix, never finished
My public school education was DESTROYED by the constant moving. I had problems brushing my teeth as a kid ao she LIED TO ME and said I had cavities and never told me the truth until YEARS later and by that point I had stopped brushing my teeth BECAUSE OF HER LIE because it made me more depressed and told me everything was pointless.
I guess I'm just a shitty person and I'll never change, idk, I dunno what im supposed to do to fix things. I think I'm beginning to realize I'm just a shitty person who was born wrong and maybe its time I stop burning myself out for everyone else when i still have to fix my ken problems, or, something. I get talked over and invalidated at home, in the past at school, and now as an adult it's at work. It's draining. If no one wants to listen to me then I'll just keep being bitter and shitty on my own terms and just marinate innit until I finally get the stones to take some sort of action, whatever that may be, positive, negative, hopefully a positive change obviously but you never know
I'm so exhausted at this point that sometimes it really is just "shrug shrug guess I don't care anymore". It's not like I want to be this way. I'm trying. To be better. I'm trying to be perfect. And it's just never going to happen.
