#I see young people memes and I feel so envious
Tumblr media
I just want to keep my job even though I don't know how to make memes. Buy our coffee. We've got holiday gifts for the coffee lover in your life.
Awesome Coffee is different because 1. we source our beans directly from small farmers collectives, 2. it's better and fresher than grocery store coffee, and 3. ALL of our profit goes to fight maternal and child mortality in impoverished communities, whereas almost all other coffee makes rich people richer, which is the dumbest thing that can be done with coffee (or other forms of wealth).

TW: homophobia, transphobia, religious trauma
CW: mild language
Disclaimer: I am a very proud non-binary asexual lesbian (triple threat babyy) and I will be spilling my guts. Also this is going to be long :)
I’ve been super sad but in like a good way recently since I found out that Chris Tyson (from the MrBeast channel on YouTube) is bisexual and non-binary. Allow me to explain:
Basically his story is that he grew up in a very conservative Christian family. He’s struggled with his gender identity since he was 10 and he came out as bi when he was 16. The people around him at the time didn’t react well. And yet that didn’t stop him from living his life as a queer Christian. He got married young to a devout Christian woman and now they have a kid together. He and his wife post Sunday IG photos and have captions professing their belief in Jesus AND he also openly posts queer memes and expresses his pride in his queer identity.
Why does this make me sad in a good way? Because I relate so hard to this story. I was born and raised Mormon (also known as LDS). The Mormon church is known for being pretty dang conservative. You absolutely cannot be openly and authentically queer and Mormon. Long story short, that’s why I stopped believing in the church and its teachings; being Mormon was an excruciatingly painful experience for me as a queer person. And so then I was atheist for a few years, primarily because of religious trauma. Now I’m discovering mainstream Christianity and I’ve personally been converted to Jesus but haven’t found the right denomination for me yet. Don’t worry, I’m not going to preach about that because I genuinely don’t care what others do with their lives as long as they aren’t hurting people :)
So what’s the point of all this??? You may ask. And in response I say: it’s been incredibly difficult for me to relearn and internalize the fact that my Christian faith and queerness can coexist in peace. I would give anything to erase the constant pain and self-doubt that my upbringing still causes me. And so I see this openly and proudly queer person living his life devoted to Jesus and I’m just like. “Wtf!? You can do that!? How the hell did you do that?? I’m so happy for you! I want that! Desperately!” And I’m viscerally furious and envious and devastated and elated all at once. Internally my inner queer Mormon kid is crying and screaming “that’s not fair! That’s not fair! You can’t do that! You don’t get to do that when I don’t!” Except I don’t think that inner me is talking to Chris Tyson. I think that inner me is talking to myself. And it’s rough. Anyways I’ve cried a lot in the past few weeks. But I’ve also praised God for liberating me from the oppressive theology I was born into because I mean it and I’m sick and tired of feeling sorry for myself. I just want to be hopeful and happy for once goddammit. Love y’all :)

Heyo! How would the Obey Me brothers react to MC being a teenager/younger gen Z? Like, the paper-work got mixed up somehow, and said they were like 26, when they were actually like 16? Also (you don't have to include this), what if the teen MC was actually really interested in demons and angles before coming to devildom, so they're really nervous, but also really excited? If you don't wanna do it, that's fine tho :) Have a great day/night!
I love this prompt! Have a great day too,love🖤
Brothers reaction to MC being a Gen Z teen. (Platonic)
✒Lucifer.
He can already picture himself struggling with you.
Six brothers to take care of + a TEEN? Man is about to loose it.
If you are an introverted he will like you automatically and feel relieved that you will not always get into his brothers shenanigans.
If you are an extroverted (or just a curious one tbh) he will keep an eye on you 24/7 so you won't get into Mammon schemes or Satan's nerves and get yourself in trouble.
Really amused if you like demons and angels, will curse himself for misreading but will not hate himself too much since you are not that scared.
Gets tired of you quickly if you make too many questions and will always send you to ask Mammon or if it's something that he doesn't know himself he will ask Diavolo and tell you later but he will (of course) act all high and mighty as if he already knew the answer to such question.
Will practically adopt you and spoil you a lot because hes is big brother.
Overprotective. Oh you met a lesser demon and you want to go on a date with them? Haha he won't let you.
You will be the only person who gets in trouble and leaves with just a warning.
Also you are totally his soft spot. Man can't resist your sad face and will do anything to make you happy even if he doesn't like to admit that.
Totally lost when it comes to TikTok/memes references and will ask about it a lot.
✒Mammon
He is amazing. Not only does whatever you ask him to but also has the best ways to get you out of boredom.
He will teach you how to scam people and how to be a good thief even if you don't need it or want it.
Teaches you about demons and angels without even knowing. Sometimes he drops random facts but it's not until he realizes you write down what he says that he stops doing it just to hear you ask him things so he can act all smug and smart.
If someone breaks your heart he will be ready to throw hands,no one hurts their little siblings.
Like Lucifer,he adopted you and always claims to be "the one you choose to be with you first" making sure his brothers hear him.
He will help you make your homework. Even if he doesn't understand he will try his best.
Please refer to him sometimes as "big brother" he will die.
When he saves your ass from getting killed by lesser demons he will be ready to receive the biggest hug ever and is absolutely ready to be praised.
If he saves you and you say "thanks,big brother" now you have a problem. He will brag about it for a week (at least).
Will steal things from you to keep them with him when he is going thru an episode. It reminds him that someone thinks of him as worthy and love deserving.
Will die for you,you are not only family now but his favorite person.
Will compliment you in the best brotherhood way he can "looking good today,kid", "your hair looks nice,brat" and "You are the best looking sibling after me of course" are his go to compliments. Mostly does it because you compliment him back and because he knows his comments make you feel closer to him and boy loves it.
✒Levi
If you are an introvert like him you can expect him to go out of his room more often just to see you or talk to you.
If you are not he will try to make you an indoors person but if he can't he is might be willing to take a risk and go out once a week but just to the manga store and back,don't expect more,normie.
If you like any thing he likes he will try to test you and prove he is better than you,he doesn't give a fuck you are practically a child he can't loose.
If he wins he will be very happy and more open to you to open up with some things.
If he doesn't win he will cry when he is alone and call himself an ugly unworthy idiot who can't even be considered an otaku but relax my dude,MC will go to you and reassure you you know better than them and that they will love to hear what you have to say (even if they don't mean it,they love you and will love to see you happy again).
Knows the basics about demons and angels so he is not the best to go to if you have too many questions. That's the only time he will let his envy go away and tell you to go to Satan or Lucifer since they know more than him.
He does not takes his duty as a big brother as something serious since Lucifer is always there but if you call him "big brother" he is going to take that role serious but for you and you only.
Will 100% find siblings cosplays and gets you to do it with him.
If you ever said something like "I'm lucky that my big brother is also my best friend" he might tear up a little since he has never been considered someone's best friend ever.
If any of his brothers try to get you to call him "big brother" he will go on a rampage unless it's Lucifer. Boy is envious not dumb.
If it was Lucifer he will go to him later and ask you if he can stop trying to get you to call him that way because that's they way you call him and it makes him feel special. Lucifer will probably agree because he knows Levi doesn't feel special often so he might give in; if he doesn't Levi will start an argument and won't stop until Lucifer cuts him off or agrees.
Keep calling him big brother, he adores it.
✒Satan
As grumpy as he is,he loves to have yo by his side. Not because he loves company but because he likes to be able to answer all your questions.
Ask him anything about demons or angels and he knows it,fuck he is smart.
Will get you a notebook so you can write what he says and will give you books to read as "extra homework" it's kind of a bad deal if you think of it but it's his way to show love.
The only person who calls him "big brother" often is Asmo and got used to it coming from him and him only. If he hears you calling him that way he will probably jump out of happiness when he is alone but for know he will just answer to that name name and act like nothing happened.
You don't want to do your homework? Fine you can copy mine but just this once.
If you struggle with anything he will solve it for you,no cap.
He will get you cat themed items like pencils, notebooks,necklaces or rings.
Matching is a must. Not because he likes the concept of being associated with a part of someone but because he will love to brag with his brothers obviously.
Will definitely get mad if you ask any type of demon/angel related thing to others.
Names a cat after you but it's the cats middle name so he won't get mocked. Won't tell you tho.
Very very protective but good at hiding it. He might be following you down the street but you wouldn't even know. Kinda creepy? Yes. Have you ever got eaten? Nope.
✒Asmo
Yes! Exactly what he was waiting for.
You are part of his experiments. You don't like makeup? Well now you do. What type of clothes do you have? Do you have an aesthetic? No? Well now you do.
He is always there when you need him to. Best of them all to give advise when needed.
Definitely will be annoyed by all of your questions but will try to be as gentle as possible to tell you that.
Can help you to become really good at comebacks,believe him he knows best than anyone.
He is the one making sure you are educated when comes to sex. Simple but worthy lessons such as "sex is about experimenting and finding what you really like but you always need your partners consent" or "always have a safe word,even when you have vanilla type of sex" or the best one yet "if they want to fuck with you that's fine but always remember to use protection because I will not like to see you having a child so young or having an abortion" because yeah that's what big brothers do.
If you hit him with the "you are the best,big brother" he will jump into your arms and say that he knows he is the best but that hearing that was way too magical,do it again!
He is very aware of insecurities and will try to be the shoulder you cry on if you need to,he is always there to wipe of your tears (or wipe off the ones who hurt you).
Not as protective as the others but keeps an eye on you because your curiosity might hurt you.
Will be crushed if he sees you suffering from the most minimal thing. That lipstick does not fit your skin color? Fuck that lipstick! We are getting new ones,go get Lucifers card!
Spoils you way more than any other because he wants to create a brat. He needs to have someone like you who will cling into Lucifer and beg him to let you do dumb things because you know Lucifer can't say no to you. He needs your power and is not afraid to tell you that
Constant reassurance. He always calls you by cute nicknames and as long as you call him "my beautiful big brother" every time he is amused.
✒Beel
Baby is ready to give you life lessons. Don't stab anyone,drink enough water and be patient with the ones you love.
Yes,he learned the "don't stab anyone" from talking to Belphie.
Is very lost when it comes to you being so interested in demons and angels because he is not used to be the one answering the questions but making them. Bare with him, he is trying to get a good answer.
Will ask for advice on how to answer you, probably goes to Lucifer but mostly Belphie.
Soon you two start doing things together that involve learning from humans and angels. Maybe you are walking down the street working out and when you both start chatting about demon life and suddenly everything stops.
Beel is clueless when it comes to comforting someone about an insecuritie since he was the one being comforted most of the times but will give you space if you need to or do whatever you feel comfy with.
If you call him "big brother" he will hug you like no one has ever hugged you before. Teddy bear hugs are a must now.
Will die for you and is not afraid of telling you such. "MC I will die for you" "whAt?" "As your big brother I may protect you with my life" "Please don't."
Tells you how much he wants you to be happy and constantly asks if you have any type of dreams or goals.
If you do have goals or dreams he will encourage you to go get it. Beel is there to support you no matter what.
✒Belphie.
Absolutely fucking not.
Why is everyone spoiling this stupid brat and not me? I hate them.
But hold on there,he doesn't completely hates you he just hates the attention you get.
If you go to him with a soft attitude and ask him if you can nap together he will say yes and will enjoy the moment a lot .
He has never been someone's big brother so it kinda hits him if you call him like that and will try to act confident and smug about it but it's kinda terrified.
What if he doesn't catch up on the big brother thing and fucks up? He doesn't want to disappoint you or make you feel awkward. So he copies his big brother and tries his best,believe me he does.
You need help with something? Ugh well I will help but you owe me one (you don't owe him anything really,he just doesn't wants to be seen as soft for you). Oh did someone caused you problems? No biggie,I will take care of it.
Spoiler alert: he is very overprotective with you,he doesn't want to lose you.

JP vs. Localization in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation
(Okay, for real this time lol)
Again, here’s a link to my sources post.
Fortunately, this route follows suit in terms of good localization quality after Conquest. It’s the shortest out of all the posts, since I don’t really have a lot to talk about. Mostly subtle line changes, references and a few key points of information that were cut out. I also went through Hidden Truths and Heirs of Fate to see if I could add stuff from those on here, but there were no big problems that I found.
Once again, the main part of this post will all be put under the cut. If a chapter isn’t covered, it means I didn’t think there were any differences worth talking about.
I’ll use localized names for characters and locations, unless I feel the need to do otherwise.
I’ll be using she/her when referring to Corrin in this post. (I flipped a coin to decide the gender lol)
Also, note that after Chapter 14, the translation of this route on Fateswartable ends, so I mostly relied on the English patch done by Serenes at that point forward. (I also used PegasusKnight.com as a reference to fall back on if I needed it)
Chapter 7
-A minor gripe I have with localization. The JP version compares Touma (Valla) to hell constantly. To jump ahead a bit, I believe in the JP versions of the End of All Sky/Land/Below tracks are even called The End of All Roads Heaven/Earth/Hell. The Vallites are also often called demons in the JP version, and Anankos himself is known as the ‘Invisible Demon Dragon’.
Another cool thing I just thought of too, is a connection to a popular Japanese short story. Zelda fans might be familiar with the story, “The Spider’s Thread”, which inspired the Ancient Cistern dungeon in Skyward Sword.
The beginning of the story has Buddha walking through paradise (heaven), before coming across a pond. The pond is filled with crystal clear water, and covered with water lilies/lotuses. As Buddha gazes further into the pond, he begins to see the depths of hell.
Sound familiar? “Azura is walking through Hoshido, before coming across a lake. The lake is filled with crystal clear water, and when she gazes into the lake she sees the fallen kingdom of her birth. Valla, the kingdom associated with water lilies/lotuses in the game, has been turned into hell itself.”
This association loses its meaning a bit when the comparisons to hell are a bit toned down, as well as when the Buddhist inspirations were kind of supplanted in favor of Greek renames. It’s not supremely important to the plot as a whole, but it’s something interesting I wanted to bring up.
-In the JP version, while explaining what happened in Valla, Azura eventually says “Using the art of manipulating people’s souls, he (Hydra/Anankos) made the people kill each other.” This bit of the people killing each other was cut in localization.
Chapter 12
-In the JP version, when Corrin asks Flora if she knows anything about dragons, Flora says “Sorry, I don’t know…The ancestral dragon of the Ice Clan has already perished and isn’t part of the legend. I don’t know what role it plays, sorry…” Localization makes her response “I'm sorry, but I can't think of anything... They've been gone so long that we don't even have tales of dragons in the Ice Tribe. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance...”
So, the JP version explicitly says the Ice Dragon is dead (I believe Fates’ second artbook mentioned this as well), whereas the localization only says the First Dragons have been gone for a long time.
Chapter 16
-There’s not really much of a problem that I have with what Ryoma says about Corrin “having leadership qualities at a young age” but I wanted to do comparisons regardless cuz the word choice might lead one to different conclusions. In localization, Ryoma says this:
Ryoma: Huh... So she told us the same thing... I don't think it's in Corrin's nature to lie. And there's a leadership quality about her that just attracts followers. I remember being jealous of her as a child, in fact. Even at such a young age, she displayed the characteristics of a ruler. Silly to be jealous of her, right?
In the JP version, Ryoma says this:
Ryoma: Oh... So, she told you the same thing. …Corrin isn’t one to tell lies. She’s been like that since childhood. She’s always genuine and honest... She has this mysterious appeal that draws people to her. Seeing my younger sister with the qualities of being a ruler... Honestly, it makes me feel envious. …What a ridiculous thing to say, right?
Again, I don’t necessarily have a problem with how it was localized, but some might. The localization version might have people think that Corrin somehow was a fantastic leader at such a young age, but JP is more clear that it was about the qualities she had at a young age that would be valuable as a leader.
Chapter 19
-A minor gripe. In the localization, Azura says that Anankos uses his magic to send Vallites to Nohr and Hoshido to stir up conflict. In the JP version, she says he uses magic, along with the help of a body of water. That’s why whenever you fight Vallites outside of Valla proper, there’s a body of water nearby; Hoshido’s lake (and the ponds shown in Hinoka’s CQ battle which are in the capital) for Chapter 5, the sea for BR chapter 11, the burning falls for BR chapter 21, and the city for Rev chapter 13. Similarly, the consequences of being a victim to the curse are described as “turning into sea foam” in the JP version. Localization as a whole kind of toned down how much water has an influence on the story.
Chapter 23
-Probably the pettiest gripe I have lol. As Arete is fading away from Azura’s arms, Azura has a different reaction in localization and Japanese. In localization, Azura says “Mother? Mother!” while a voice clip of her in-battle pain cries plays. In the JP, she says  “*Sob... Sob*…! Mother... Mother...!”, while a voice clip of her crying plays. Her crying voice clip I don’t recall hearing anywhere else.
This is one of the few times in the you get to see Azura express a heavy and heartfelt emotion, since her rough childhood caused her to remain guarded and stoic around everyone. The equivalents to this scene in other routes is her death scene in Birthright, and her crying with Corrin over Ryoma’s death in Conquest; a normally unflinching and aloof character breaking down is a rarity, and indicates that the cause of it is something to take note of for the character as a whole. Localization softened this aspect, and I take issue with it, despite it probably seeming trivial to most other people.
Chapter 24
-When Corrin is questioning the phantom Mikoto, an exchange happens. In localization, part of it goes like this:
Corrin: But this can't be... Are you truly my mother?
Mikoto: I am. Even as a puppet of Anankos, my spirit at least remains my own.
Corrin: I... I believe you.
In the JP version, it goes like this:
Corrin: It can’t be... …Are you really my mother?
Mikoto: Yes... I became an Invisible servant, controlled by the Invisible King... Even so, I am your mother.
Corrin:  …………
Again, a minor thing that I don’t personally have issue with, but replacing Corrin’s silence with an admittance of belief could make some believe she has “reverted” back to being too naïve.
Chapter 26
-While Gunter is relaying his past, an exchange happens. In localization, it goes like this:
Gunter: I ask myself that, every day. I cannot understand the minds of royals. To you all, we commoners are little more than pawns in your schemes... Or weeds to be killed on a whim.
Corrin: That's not true...
Xander: Is that how people view the royalty?
Ryoma: Such an impression would easily breed powerful resentment...
In the JP version, Corrin, Xander and Ryoma don’t say anything. They just remain silent.
Endgame
-Not a major problem so much as a general thing about the game, but I can think of like... at least three memes that Treehouse inserted into the localization. Now I like memes, but there is no better way to date your media nowadays. One of them was Kana’s “That’s dragon for I love you” which tbh, is kind of cute and isn’t the most well known meme so I guess I can let it slide. Another is Felicia saying “I had one job!” when she messes up in the dining hall, which isn’t that big of a deal since the dining hall is very optional.
The last one I can think of is why I put this specific grievance here, and it’s during Corrin’s speech before facing Anankos.
Corrin: We won't back down! This is my... This is our destiny! Ready your weapons! Fight for your friends! With the Seal of Flames... With the Fire Emblem on our side! We fight for our world!!
Yeah, she says “Fight for your friends” which is everyone’s favorite Ike line from Brawl. Now, this isn’t even a totally inaccurate translation either, but it kind of just... makes the moment funny for the player when it’s supposed to be commanding and serious I guess.
But yeah, not the most important issue by far, but something I’d thought to mention. Hell, it’s not even that bad compared to how they made Peri’s, Effie’s and Hisame’s quirks into exaggerated and tired jokes. And the Beruka-Saizo support. Never forget.
-When Azura and Corrin are by the lake and discuss the latter’s plans to rule, Corrin says this in localization:
Corrin: I'm going to make Valla a wonderful place! In honor of the true last king and for Queen Arete. And everyone who fought... I promise to make them all proud.
In the JP version, she says this:
Corrin: I’ll make the Invisible Kingdom (Valla) into a great land. For the previous monarch, Queen Shenmei (Arete)… And for all of my allies who fought beside me. I promise.
So, JP version only mentions Arete as the reigning monarch of Valla. Which makes sense, cuz unless there was some wild “keeping the bloodline pure” shenanigans in Valla, Arete being the Queen keeps in line with what we know about the rest of Valla’s history. Arete was royalty from birth, as was her sister Mikoto. Arete is the one who passed down Lost in Thoughts and the pendant to Azura.

Entrapta deserved better
My posts are usually either detailed analysis or memes and shitposts.
I’ve re-watched the show and this will be an angry rant…  
With every viewing of the show, Entrapta’s arc makes me progressively angrier because I empathize with her so much.
She is introduced to the show as being a reclusive scientist, known throughout the Maker’s guild for her genius. Even her staff is weary of her. She spends all her time alone with her robot friends in her lab within her isolated castle.
The alliance interacts with her with the explicit purpose of recruiting her into their war effort. They want her for her ability to build weapons for them. That’s as deep as the relationship goes this far.
Tumblr media
Entrapta has no stakes in the war, the Horde hadn’t attacked Dryl. She joins them because she wants to be their friend; she wants to help them in the only way she knows how, using her technological prowess to their benefit. Due to her isolation (and her being autistic), Entratpa struggles to understand interpersonal dynamics. Human interaction is a skill she has had little practical experience with. She understands the concepts, the rules of the game, so to speak, but she has seen it in play only as a third party rarely ever practicing it herself.
She’s invited to the Princess prom due to her princes status but she’s an outsider there too. No “friendly” princess seeks her out to hang out with her as a friend would. The only person who does so is Catra, and she does it for her own reasons…
Tumblr media
With Glimmer abducted, the alliance mounts a half-baked rescue operation. Everything Entrapta did in this episode had a purpose, it looked like she kept getting distracted when in actuality, she was studying horde tech, rescuing Seahawk and furthering their mission and she had no time to explain herself (it also occurs to me that Entrapta might not explain herself because no one asked and no one ever understands her reasoning anyway) The princesses try to control her because she’s being “difficult”. They don’t care why she’s being difficult, they want her to conform.
Once they rescued Glimmer, they don’t even come back to check if Entrapta’s actually dead, or to get her remains and put them to rest respectfully. They allready have the princess they came for.  
Entrapta is all alone with her new robot friend Emily in the Frightzone vents, expecting that she’d get rescued because “no princess left behind” but rescue never actually comes.
Catra uses this new abandonment to convince her to switch sides. Entrapta didn’t jump ship because of her tech hyperfixation, she switched sides because Catra used her skill at pinpointing someone’s weak-spot and poking at it. 
Catra may not have been Shadow Weaver’s favorite ward (she was her scapegoat and punching bag, the poor girl) but she did learn from her and repeatedly put those skills to “good” use.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once they find out she’s alive, the alliance wants to rescue her but she’s made new friends in the Horde and she think that they understand her fascination with science, friends that actually interact with her directly. She actually feels included here and as such, she’s not eager to return to the alliance’s side.
Tumblr media
Entrapta befriends Catra and Scorpia but even in this trio, she is the third wheel. Catra is focused on herself, her ascension in The Horde and on her missing Adora. Scorpia is focused on Catra and on pinning for her.
Once Entrapta and Hordak start growing closer together, Catra stops talking to her. Perhaps she was hurt because Entrapta “broke her promise” to not go in Hordak’s sanctum, perhaps she was envious of her closeness to the Horde leader, or perhaps both, either way, the friendship is broken from Catra’s side. Entrapta still sees her as a friend and fights Hordak over the decision to send her to Beast Island. Despite his grouchiness, he considers her request and grants it.
Tumblr media
As recompense for saving her life, Catra backstabs Entrapta when she tried to stop Catra from triggering a potentially world ending event and then sends her to the fate Entrapta saved her from: exile on Beast Island.
When faced with the choice between Catra and Entrapta, Scorpia choses Catra. Hordak is lied to so he doesn’t know to look for her, he believed she used him and is heartbroken about it.
You can actually pinpoint the moment his little heart breaks in this scene:
Tumblr media
 Even so, he spends most of season 4 wanting to face her; he’d rather see her as an enemy than not see her at all.
After Catra proves herself a bad friend, (after months) Scorpia finally decides to rescue Entrapta and goes looking for help, deserting to the alliance. She has this little realization:
Tumblr media
Adora is the only person that actually wants to go right away and rescue her. Bow wants to rescue her because they need her tech savvy and Glimmer says that they can rescue her after the war or something… (the Island she’s on is a death trap, she might not live that long for all they know)
she said this 
Tumblr media
then this
Tumblr media
She knows that this is a time sensitive issue but she wants to put it off  despite the urgency, if that doesn’t sound like friendship to you, then what does?  *sarcasm intensifies*
Contrast this with how the villain of the show reacted to the news of her being sent to Beast Island:
Tumblr media
On Beast Island Bow gives her a longwinded speech about how she’s supposed to work harder at friendship. I know he’s projecting his own issues here but it still makes me so damn angry. Entrapta’s trying; she’s trying so hard, no one ever tries back! No one makes the effort to understand her (except that one clone but we’re not talking about him), she has to conform to their expectations, the reverse is never applicable.
Anyway, stuff happens and Glimmer is abducted again, by Horde Prime this time.
Then that whole “Lauch” episode happened. Entrapta is distrusted by the alliance more than Scorpia is. She is seen and cold and interested only in tech, she has to explain and redeem herself in their eyes after they treat her like rubbish. They don’t connect the fact that helping them with tech is how she shows her friendship. 
Tumblr media
It’s the only thing she thinks she’s worth to them. She wants to be accepted by them so badly.
 Entrapta gets emotional over rescuing Glimmer! 
Tumblr media
The person who when faced with the same prospect, said she’d do it later…
Even Catra’s apology to Entrapta for trying to kill her is a blank “I’m sorry”. Pls say what exactly you are sorry for Catra. Entrapta deserves that much. Bow received a better apology for far less of an offense.
All she ever does in the show is work towards furthering someone else’s goals, her own are always a second thought. As @cruelfeline​ pointed out, even a small scene with her discussing what happened with Hordak, her reaction to it and the gang focusing on Entrapta’s troubles for ONCE , even if it’s just offering her emotional support, would have meant so much.
Why is the show trying to tell me that Entrapta should work on being a better friend?
That's a terrible message!
She doesn't need to work harder on her friends, she NEEDS BETTER FRIENDS.
So many of us ND people end up being third wheels at best and we blame that on ourselves, we internalize the reasoning that our friendship fail because we’re weird and we’re not doing it right. That we’re the ones that have to try harder to be understood and that our concerns should come second.  That is a terrible thing to internalize, we are blaming ourselves constantly because we try to understand others and they never try to understand us back. 
With age, I’ve grown out of trying and being different so that other people would like me. They’d end up liking the mask I project, not me anyway. I’ve found people that understand me and that like me for who I am, but only after I’ve stopped trying to be “better” for others to accept me. With being honestly “weird” with those around me, I’ve been accepted far more than for trying to fit in. And I’ve realized that people that shun my otherness are not worth the effort to try and befriend in the first pace .
 That is what young autistics need to hear, not “git gud” at friendship.  You are not wrong, you are not defective or broken, you are you and you’re beautiful just the way you are. If other people don’t see that, then the failing is theirs. Don’t change, just look for people that see you.

I saw this wonderful ship meme template by gibb_arts on twitter and decided to do it for one of my most beloved rarepair OTPs, ItaKabu! I hope this gives you some insight into why I love this ship so much <3
More detailed headcanon descriptions below the cut!
Age/Height: Canon, actually! I think it's really funny that they're almost the same height but Itachi is juuuust a little bit taller.
Gender: I see both of these characters as cisgender male, but while Itachi hasn't questioned things much, I feel like Kabuto went through an entire roller coaster about his gender identity at one point in his life. He eventually settled back where he started, but it's now that purposeful cis perspective that only comes with intense questioning. (I'd also consider Kabuto nonbinary male, but he probably prefers to be called a man)
Sexuality: Itachi demisexual, Kabuto bisexual. Not much additional detail here!
Big/Little Spoon: I think they're both pretty cuddly but Itachi is gentle and passive and Kabuto is happy for any kind of attention, so Itachi probably meets him halfway and they trade spoons back and forth. Kabuto's horns might make it hard to have your face behind his head lol.
Lends Clothes/Borrows Clothes: They mostly have their own stuff but Kabuto is slightly smaller, so he fits in Itachi's things better.
Uses Pet Names: Kabuto is incredibly respectful and feels very weird calling Itachi by anything but his actual name. Itachi doesn't tend toward pet names but might call Kabuto "honey" just to see how red his face goes.
Introverted/Extroverted: Kabuto is generally shy but wants to have connections with people. Itachi likes having company but is low energy--I'd classify him as more of an ambivert.
Affection through Words/Actions: Kabuto does try to make deliberate gestures, but he feels like it doesn't come across well, so he's constantly telling Itachi how wonderful he is and making sure he understands exactly how he feels. Itachi of course reminds Kabuto that he really does love him, though a lot of his affection comes in warm gestures like bringing him tea when he's working or covering him up with a blanket when he falls asleep.
Confesses First/Waits: Kabuto would never imagine anyone could possibly have a crush on him, so only at the very last minute would he even consider telling Itachi how he feels. Itachi is slow to get attached but once he's in deep he realizes exactly how resistant Kabuto is to making the first move, so he does it for him.
Screams about Bugs/Squashes: Neither of them are afraid of bugs. Kabuto goes to swiftly whack it with a rolled-up newspaper, but Itachi stops him and scoops the bug up to put it outside. As long as it's not a mosquito. No mercy for mosquitoes.
Drives the Car: If they had a car, Kabuto would do the handling and maintenance. Itachi can drive but often doesn't because they usually travel together.
Can't Cook/Cooks: Kabuto can functionally feed himself and it tastes alright. Itachi enjoys cooking as a hobby and is happy to make dinner basically every night.
PDA: Itachi is a bit shy but doesn't care much if people see him being sweet with his S/O. For Kabuto, the idea of someone proudly showing their affection for him in public makes his bones turn to jelly. Itachi often humors him by taking his hand when he's not expecting it and kissing his cheek.
Overprotective: Both previously dealt with narcissistic control complexes and are prone to trying to solve problems by themselves. They are also both aware that their boyfriend has disaster tendencies and do their best to look out for each other.
Relationship Experience: Itachi might possibly have dated someone when he was very young but he doesn't really count that. At the very least he loves his brother and does have friends like Kisame. Kabuto has not had a single human interaction that did not devolve into terminal backstabbing disorder and/or brutal death. He is starting from entry-level and Itachi is prepared to tell him as often as he needs to hear it that he loves him and isn't going anywhere.
Horny Level: Kabuto is way too awkward to be thirsty 95% of the time. Itachi is more relaxed and thinks it's funny when Kabuto gets flustered, so he'd probably make the first move. That being said, as soon as Itachi made it clear what his intentions were, Kabuto's meter would shoot through the roof.
Awkwardness Level: Itachi is a resurrected undead paper mache lantern man who feels like everything is borrowed time, so as long as people can be okay with some of his past mistakes he's pretty chill about most stuff. Kabuto has only recently come down off his tirade of unchecked terrorism and mass murder, and is largely of the opinion that while he really really wants people to like him, he completely understands if they just want to lock him in prison forever.
Jealousy Level: Itachi is not the jealous type at all and would let Kabuto do his own thing. Kabuto also respects Itachi's choices, though he is a bit envious of the people who seem closer to him.
--- That's it for this! Feel free to add any headcanons in the tags or let me know if you want to hear more of mine! :D

Ship: Freed x Laxus [Fraxus]
Rating: Teen
Alternate Links: Fanfiction, Archive of our Own
Request: Something based off the official Rockband Raijinshuu art.
Summary: Being a rockstar, Laxus had to endure far too many chat shows. Usually he would grin and bear it, let the pointlessness of it roll off his back, but not this time. He was alone, forced to keep his budding relationship with Freed secret, and done with it. Fucking done with it all! But he had a way to fix it, and all it would take was a little courage.
Notes: This was a request by @fuckyeahfraxus. Just a warning, it has a bit of homophobia near the end, but nothing too vicious. I hope you enjoy it.
The Life Of A Song
Fuck chat shows. Fuck their hosts. Fuck their producers. Fuck their directors. Fuck their too-hot lighting, their stupid uncomfortable sofas, their tiny changing room's, their cramped green rooms with too many camera, their always cheering audiences and their utter lack of anything interesting or unique. Fuck the whole damn thing.
But Laxus' opinions on the matter weren't important. What did matter was that he smiled, laughed, told anecdotes and sat in a way that showed off his thighs and crotch just enough so that his Twitter stans - what a shitty word - made him trend once it was over.
Still, fuck chat shows.
This particular show, Late With Jase, was one of the worst. The host was young, overly enthusiastic, and his name was Jason rather than Jase which pissed Laxus off more than it should. He'd somehow dragged an audience of Netflix only watchers back to mainstream, with a mix of meme crap that Laxus cringed at, and celebrity gossip that would make a tabloid envious. But the ratings were skyrocketing, celebrities who went there usually got a boost in sales of their latest projects, and Laxus' manager had insisted he take his turn.
It would have been fine, were he not alone. If Ever, Bix and Freed were with him, they could take the responsibility and he could fade into the background. They had been a band for years, and that was how they always dealt with interviews. But they weren't there, because according to their management, Laxus was the moneymaker and all they needed.
"So Laxus," Jason turned in his chair to look at him. "Let's talk about Thunderstruck. What a success that's been? You must be thrilled.”
"It's doing well, yeah," Laxus nodded. He wanted to cringe at his words.
"It's doing more than well. You can hardly escape it," Jason laughed, and the crowd laughed with him. Laxus chuckled, even though he didn't find it funny. "But this is the first song that you've written, isn't it? And it's one of the most popular you've had. Must feel good."
"Well, it wasn't just me," Laxus swallowed slightly. "Everything we make is collaborative. Freed worked with the lyrics a lot, and Ever composed it."
"They're your bass player and electric guitar player, right?"
"I wouldn't call them mine," Laxus mumbled slightly.
There was a beat of awkward silence, and Laxus relished it just a little. Jason recovered quickly, which was annoying, and flashed a happy smile. Laxus would have preferred the man to stew in the uncomfortable silence, it would be a fitting response to him being dismissive of the band's contributions, but perhaps it was a childish way to think of things.
"Well we'll be hearing the song live at the end of the show," Jason continued, and Laxus' eyebrow twitched. The rest of the band were in the damn building and yet were being treated like shit. "But let's talk a bit about how you came to write it. Heavy rock and love songs have a troubled history, and you managed to make a hit out of it."
"Just lucky I guess," He shrugged. "Got good people around me too."
"Don't be so modest," Jason dismissed. Laxus wasn't being modest; luck was the dominant factor in successful music and without the band, Laxus would be fucked. "So, take us back. Where did the idea start."
"Well, hard to pinpoint I guess," Laxus murmured. "But, I suppose it was at the end of our last tour."
——
Performing live was indescribable. It was an assault on all his senses, in the very best way.
Everything was exhilarating. The feeling of vibrations on the stage, the cheers, roars and singing from the crowd, the sweat running down his back, the roar of his voice cutting through his throat as he sang. It all flowed through him, removing any sense of doubt or self consciousness he might have. On stage, before a stadium of fans, he was Laxus Fucking Dreyar. King, God and Dragon. Nothing was better.
They were on their last song of the set, a roaring anthem that the crowd could sing along to. It was thrilling to hear a song he'd worked on sung by thousands. Freed's words were being screamed at them, with the passion and love of their fan base. It was indescribable.
"We are The Thunder God's Tribe," Laxus yelled into the microphone as the instrumental began. The crowd roared in response.
Freed, Ever and Bix held the crowd's attention, and Laxus looked over the gathered mass of thousands. They were all there for them, because they loved them and wanted to experience them in person. A loud roar of appreciation cut through the stadium as Bickslow finished a drum solo that always brought the house down. How he managed to do that night after night while never screwing it up was beyond Laxus, but it was incredible.
Laxus sang the final verse, putting his whole heart into the performance. It was the last show of the tour, the last time they'd sing in front of a crowd like this for two years. He loved songwriting, but this was the best part of his work. The crowd, the music, the experience.
God he would miss this. This high. This buzz.
The lights died around them as the song ended, plunging them into darkness as the crowd roared their appreciation. The four of them could still see their fans as they cheered and yelled, and they took a few moments to appreciate it. He would miss this.
As they were taken from the stage, the adrenaline didn't waver. Laxus could run a marathon, deadlift any weight, swim any ocean in those moments. It was pure euphoria.
Evergreen trailed off to her dressing room first, scraping her nails down her bodyguard's chest before dragging him in with her. They were no longer pretending they were simply platonic anymore; Bickslow walking in on them must have removed any hope they could keep their relationship a secret. Good for them; Ever worked hard and deserved a big man to fill her bed.
Bix's groupies appeared out of nowhere, two men and a woman. They clung to the drummers bare chest instantly, and he cackled as he was dragged away for a night of depravity and booze. Laxus grinned; the party boy really had hit his stride this year.
Glancing at Freed, he saw the man looking equally amused.
A shared moment of eye contact sent a pulse of heat through Laxus. They stared at one another for a moment, and Laxus found his eyes crawling over Freed's shirtless torso without shame before he could stop it. Hard muscle and flexing abs were fully shown, and the heat in Laxus' face settled down lower. The rush of the performance was still running through him and he knew he wasn't in his right mind, but dammit Freed looked fucking hot in that moment. Tousled, sweating, shirtless; who could fucking resist that?
Laxus had always known Freed was hot. They spent hours upon hours together, it couldn't be missed. But he'd never thought too hard about it. You didn't fuck your badnmates. You didn't fuck your male bandmate.
And if he weren't coursing with adrenaline and dunk off of the cheers, he might have stopped.
With a stride, he surged forward and wrapped a hand around the back of Freed's neck. He pulled the man against him, pressing their lips together in a passionate, needy, energetic kiss. Freed dragged him back, pushing himself against the wall and taking Laxus with him. Hands were roaming over his chest, and Laxus groaned as they slid lower.
"Wait," Laxus whispered, pulling apart. A string of spit hung between them, and Laxus felt a twisted form of delight at it.
"What?" Freed asked, and his husky voice ran down Laxus' spine.
"We better take it inside," Laxus murmured, and Freed grinned.
They snuck into the nearest changing room, locking the door behind them. It was only in the next morning, when Laxus' mind was focused on something other than mindless, unadulterated pleasure, that he began writing a song. That he felt the need to write in a way that he'd never felt before.
Because kissing Freed was music. A high unmatched by anything else, and one that Laxus would find himself addicted to.
——
"And how did it come about?" Jason probed. "You've never written before. Did you find your muse?"
He had. But Jason didn't get to know it. Not that their manager would let it happen.
"Well, you know how bands work. You tour, make an album, then tour with the album," Laxus shrugged, reaching for his glass of water. "Your mind goes into production mode, I guess. You see things a little different, put a little creative spin on the things happening around you. Something struck me and I started writing," He laughed, awkward. "Not that interesting, really."
Not the fake story he'd been told to say, anyway.
The audience didn't seem to care about how crap the anecdote actually was, and applauded his words for some reason. Jason forced out a laugh, as if his statement had been a self-deprecating joke rather than a simple fact. What he'd been told to say wasn't interesting.
"Well, maybe you weren't struck by some divine intervention, but whatever happened it certainly worked out well," Jason continued, and the small screen beside him showed the album cover. Laxus hated the cover, it was just him. Not the four of them. It should be the four of them, or none of them at all. "It shot to the top of the charts and seems like it'll be there for a long time. That must feel good."
"It's incredible," Laxus agreed, and it was.
"So talk us through the writing process," Jason promoted, grinning. "I can't imagine you hunched over a desk night after night?"
"Well, the first draft only took a couple hours, really," Laxus confessed, blushing a little. The lights would cover it, but it was still embarrassing. "But me and Freed spent a couple nights together, and it became what you've been hearing."
——
"You always this tried?" Laxus chuckled, placing a takeout cup of coffee beside Freed.
The bassist blinked slowly up at Laxus, removing his face from its resting place against his arm. He glanced towards the coffee he'd been given with a thankful smile. Laxus smiled a little as Freed sat up straight, running a hand through his loose hair and letting it flow over his shoulders. He had bags under his eyes and a yawn split open his lips.
Laxus found himself slightly transfixed by the sight of Freed picking up the coffee, bringing it to his lips and drinking it in large gulps. His throat bobbed, pale skin stretching and chords tightening.
"Better to be tired that not focused," Freed smirked a little as he placed his coffee down.
"I think me looking at you is exactly the kinds focus we need," He grinned, and Freed chuckled.
The two of them were writing alone. After a fair amount of hesitation, Laxus had shown Freed the draft lyrics he'd written, and Freed had instantly presented ideas on how to fine tune it. He hadn't been patronising - nor had he teased Laxus about the fact he'd written a damn love song about him - and instead decided to encourage and help him make it a hit. They'd spent three subsequent nights in their studio, completely alone, and Laxus was loving it.
He'd never written a song before. Words weren't his forte, at least not the writing of them, and he much preferred to show passion through performance. But hours of Freed and him in the studio, bouncing ideas off each other, was thrilling.
Laxus suspected any time alone with Freed would be thrilling now.
Walking behind Freed to get to his own seat, Laxus leant down and pressed a soft kiss atop his head. Freed made a small sound and leant back against his chair to get closer to Laxus. He chuckled, ruffling Freed's hair slightly as he sat beside him.
"You made any progress?" Laxus asked, stretching slightly. He didn't miss Freed's eyes roaming over his chest. "What were you saying about being distracted."
"Until you wear looser fitting clothes, you don't get to talk about me being distracted," Freed smirked.
"Maybe I'd agree to that if I didn't know how uncomfortable those jeans you're wearing are," Laxus smirked. "Flatters the ass but crushes the balls, right? Regretting it yet?"
Freed didn't answer, but blushed a little and Laxus cackled.
They quickly fell into step, working on the song again. They were focusing on the second verse, which Laxus had dubbed the catalyst chapter. It had initially been a torrent of ways to describe how explosive his kiss with Freed had been - though names were vague enough for nobody to know that. With Freed's help, it had turned into a well written lyrical explanation to the first flushes of a romance. The burning passion, the fire between the two people, the erotic rush that could ignite from a simple glance. Watching Freed write, Laxus had to hope he was writing about his own feelings for Laxus.
He also had to stop himself from jumping the man, because Freed knew how to write a hot song. A really hot song…
Taking his espresso and gulping it down, Laxus looked away from his lover. Perhaps if Freed were anyone else - if he weren't a guy, or if he weren't in the band - Laxus might have given in and kissed him. He wanted to, but couldn't,
Once they'd been signed, te band had been given a long speech about how you couldn't screw your bandmate by their manager, how it could ruin things and screw up the dynamic. When Laxus had discovered he was bi, and wanted to come out as such, multiple crisis meetings were held. Not only had Laxus not been allowed to speak about his sexuality, with the risk of his contract being terminated immediate held over him, but he'd also been forced to stage pictures with a woman so he looked to be dating.
There had been backlash even then. His fans were vicious to the poor model, many seemed angry at him for supposedly betraying them by dating someone, it was fucking insane, and Laxus hadn't known hot to take it, but it had scared him off relationships for years.
So, he couldn't date. Definitely couldn't date bandmates. Certainly couldn't date men.
And knowing that, he'd still come back to Freed. Slept with him after their tour, then in the hotel later that night, they'd even fumbled about in the tour bus to the airport when everyone else was sleeping. They'd been in dates - or as close to dates two famous men could get - and a week prior had sat down and talked. They didn't care about the rules, because their budding romance was too damn good.
Never let it be said Laxus kept things comfortable for himself.
"Stop that," Freed scolded.
"Stop what?" Laxus asked, looking from the song and towards Freed.
"Torturing yourself," Freed explained, taking Laxus' hand and stroking it. "It'll do you know good. Certainly not when we're trying trying to write a ballad about the two of us."
"Sorry," Laxus hunched.
"Don't be, I think about it too," Freed admitted, leaning towards Laxus and against him. "But drowning in what ifs and self doubt is hardly going to make things better. We might as well enjoy what we have while it's still between the two of us, and deal with the fallout should it present itself.”
"You're right," Laxus nodded, blinking himself back into focus. "Not sure I can write tonight, though. Not in the mood."
"You don't want to write sonnets about how much you want me? Should I be offended?" Freed smirked, and Laxus laughed. "Or perhaps should I see it as a challenge to refocus your attention."
A hand ran down Laxus' inner thigh, and his breath hitched slightly. "Really?"
"Well, the song needs to be finished eventually," Freed hummed a little. "The sooner the better, I'd say. So getting your mind back on me seems the only thing that makes sense,"
"Really," Laxus tried to make his voice sound seductive, but Freed's wandering hand made him crack slightly. "H-how d'you think you'd do that."
"Well, let's say that in five minutes you find yourself in the instrument store down the hall," Freed mused aloud. "And let's say you find me already there, and I happen to be kneeling there waiting for you. Well, we can hardly be blamed if we find ourselves distracted."
Laxus swallowed. "Here? You sure?”
"There's no one around," Freed shrugged far too nonchalantly, and then grinned a devilishly handsome grin. "And I must admit, making you come undone in here has been a fantasy of mine," His hand squeezed Laxus thigh, before he stood up, and all flirtation was gone. "I should find a guitar, we can hardly write without practice. Perhaps I'll see you in there."
And then he was gone, walking away with his ass hugged perfectly in his jeans. All doubts about his future with Freed disappeared, replaced by the uncomfortable tightness in his boxers.
He found himself grinning, and a few minutes later he found himself in the instrument room, panting and moaning.
——
"It was pretty normal," Laxus continued, not looking to Jason. "We wrote, we practiced, we rewrote."
"Keeping your secrets close to your chest, I see," Jason laughed. "Now, speaking of secrets, the rumours have been flying on Twitter about who this is written about."
"I hadn't heard about that," Laxus tried to dismiss the statement.
"I'm sure you haven't," Jason nodded almost patronisingly, clearly not believing him. It was fair, Laxus supposed. #WhoIsThunderstruck did trend for a week. "But you have to admit, a virgin songwriter making something so powerful on their first try, and in a song so distant from anything else you've ever made, does seem to suggest maybe you've found someone to inspire you."
"I'm around a lot of talented people," Laxus shrugged. "They know how to make a hit."
He was squirming now, and not because of Jason. Their manager was seating in the front row of the live audience, and a quick glance his way showed Laxus a glare. This was a topic he had to avoid, because his fans needed to think the song was about them. It was patronising, Laxus thought, but they'd found success with their manager for a reason.
"So," Jason continued. "Have you found yourself a special lady?"
And then something ridiculous happened. Laxus found himself furious.
Such a simple statement, so innocuous and normal for Laxus' life, had opened the floodgates for Laxus. Because why had he assumed it would be a woman? Why had he assumed he could ask a question like that? Why was Laxus in a position where he couldn't answer something so simple when he really fucking wanted to?
Every ridiculous injustice seemed to swarm over him at once. How was it fair he had to parade himself on shows like this, on his own despite how his band deserved as much love and respect as he did? How was it fair that he'd known he wanted to be with a man for five years, and he'd never allowed himself to indulge before Freed? How was it fair that he'd been forced to endure meeting after meeting about how 'stupid' he was being for hooking up with Freed? How was it fair that he couldn't go out for a fucking pizza with his boyfriend without starting a ridiculous internet scandal? It was all so bullshit.
"Nah," Laxus answered, leaning back in his chair. The anger gave way to confidence; every interview he'd been on edge, but not any more. "Not a girl."
"So nobody's tamed the dragon slayer then?"
"Not a girl," Laxus repeated. "A guy. I'm bi, and for the last couple months I've been dating Freed," There was silence, and Laxus grinned and turned to Jason. "Bet you wished you'd gotten him on stage with me now, huh?"
"You're…" Jason seemed at a loss for words.
"Screwing the bassist, yeah," Laxus laughed, exhilaration flooding through him. "Inevitable really. I've known I liked guys for five years, and there's a load of fan pages who talk about how hot Freed is, so it was bound to happen," He grinned, running a hand through his hair.
This felt so good. Fuck, he didn't know how much he needed to do this.
"So," Jason tried to recover. "Well, erm, we have r to go to break now. Maybe we'll talk about that when we get back, I really don't know."
The moment the cameras cut, people began approaching Laxus. His manager, his PR team, and most importantly, his band. Ever and Bix attempted to run interference on their management team, but the angry man and his cronies pushed through them with fury on their faces. Still, Freed met him first, and wordlessly grabbed Laxus by the collar and brought their lips together. It was more passionate and desperate than any of their kisses had been.
"I'm so proud of you," Freed whispered. "And we are definitely talking about how you know those fan sites exist."
"Who d'you think made 'em," Laxus grinned, and Freed laughed.
Their small, shared moment ended when a throaty cough cut through them. Their manager was looming over them, and Laxus met them with a cruel grin, knowing it was too late: that was the problem with live TV.
"Problem?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"What the hell were you thinking?" The manager snarled. "You just fucked all of us, do you understand that? How fucking selfish are you. You've ruined this album, you know that? You think your bandmates will forgive you?"
"Nothing to forgive," Bix said immediately.
"You're a dick for not letting him do it before," Evergreen agreed.
Their manager seemed to flounder for a moment, before narrowing his glare at Laxus again. "Do you think your fans will want to see that?" He growled again, voice getting louder now. "You think they'll still want you now they know that. Now they have to think about you being with… with him!" He motioned to Freed disparagingly. "They'll leave you. You've fucked yourselves, you know that."
Silence filled the soundstage, and their manager seethed. Laxus grinned, then looked past him towards the audience, half of whom had their phones pointed towards them.
"Since you're always talking about PR," Laxus smirked. "How d'you think you'll look once this hits Twitter?"
Their manager halted, then slowly turned. He turned sheet white, and it was brilliant.
"Oh, and in case you're worrying about your little threat to drop us if I came out, don't," Laxus smirked, though looked up to his band, who all nodded. "Yer fired, so fuck off."

Can I request underage mc telling the rfa members, Saeran and V that the reason why she went to the apartment was because she was homeless and had nowhere else to go? (Platonic of course) I know you did a request with a 17 year old mc awhile back so it’s fine if you don’t do this. Thanks!!
heyo! sorry this took a while to get to, but i hope you’ll like it regardless ^^
YOOSUNG:
* When MC tells the RFA how she ended up in Rika’s apartment, he’s shocked
* He’s never even considered that MC, so bright and cheerful online, could be going through such a hardship 
* Still, he feels as if Rika’s spirit somehow guided MC to that apartment, to give her a chance to start anew and have a place to stay
* Well, he’s not wrong per say...
* He’ll always be checking up on MC, asking her if she ate and if not if she wants him to cook something for her-even if he can’t go directly to the apartment they can at least meet nearby so he can bring her lunch!
* He’s nurturing by nature, even if he gets childish at times, so he’ll always worry over MC, even if he often jokes around with her since they’re the closest in age
* He’ll absoloutely help her find a part-time job and permanent residence if she needs to, and will even offer for her to room with him if she’s comfortable!
ZEN:
* He’s shocked but also the most empathetic out of them all-after all he also went through similar situations as MC at her age
* He’ll try and not talk too much about her predicament, knowing how uncomfortable it can get, but he’ll constantly discreetly check in with her-asking if she’s alright, if she wants to talk about anything, tells her that if anyone ever gives her any trouble they’ll have to go through him
* He’ll happily offer to take her up as an assistant if she’s up for it
* Eventually he too would open up about his own situation when he was young, reassuring her that she’s not alone and now, with the RFA, she’s not only found a home, but a family too.
JAEHEE:
* She’s also surprised, but keeps her composure, and never pesters MC with questions about her life. 
* Instead she’s thankful that MC ended up in the RFA, knowing what dangers there are out there for a young girl like her
* She also assumes a nurturing role, constantly asking MC if she’s settled alright in the apartment, if she’s eating well e.t.c
* If MC isn’t at school, she’ll absoloutely try to help her get to school, and even help her find plans that can help her get into university-she never wants to see a girl as bright as MC be denied the chance to higher education, not when she can do something about it
* She’d love to meet up with MC and chat over coffee-it’d be like having a little sister!
* All in all, she’s happy MC found them, no matter what the circumstances that led her to the RFA may be
JUMIN:
* He’s...confused
* All his life he’s been lecturing on the virtues of family bonds, so to find out MC is alone in the world, and that coming to Rika’s apartment was a last resort for her confuses him greatly.
* On the one hand, he’s happy MC found the RFA, and has now found a place to stay. On the other, he feels dissatisfied somehow-like he needs to do something to help MC, but he’s not sure what
* He’ll definitely offer to get her an apartment of her own, so she won’t have to stay at Rika’s anymore after the party-he’ll offer to help pay for her tuitions if she wants to enter univeristy, or even offer a position in C&R once he sees her hard work on the party. Yet still, it feels like something’s missing
* He realises what that is after a few successful parties, ones that took place after MC became a part of the RFA. He sees MC laughing about one meme or another with Luciel and Yoosung, how Jaehee nags at them all as Zen tries to diffuse the situation, and he realises-what was missing was a family. He’s glad MC has one now.
SEVEN:
* He figured it out soon after digging up MC’s background history and finding nothing on her after the age of 16-he simply put two and two together, saw the lack of current adress and realiseed just how MC ended up in Rika’s apartment.
* He doesn’t mention it whatsoever in the messenger-not until MC mentions it herself at least. People are entitled to their secrets after all, he would know
* He’ll feel empathy towards MC, remembering the hell he’d been through when he was 17, but he’s also secretly envious of her-how instead of ending up how he did, she was lucky enough to stumble upon the RFA, to be able to make friends and even a family that can help put her back up on her feet
* He casts that envy aside though-what’s done with him is done, and now he gets to see someone, a friend, grow into a healthy adult, one that doesn’t have to hide in darkness like he does, and he’s sincerly happy for it
* He’ll offer MC to move in to his place until she can get a place of her own, unless she wants to stay at Rika’s after it all-if she does, he’ll of course make the apartment as safe as possible for normal living, and even help her decorate it to make it feel more homely
* He’s glad RFA gained yet another family member, really
V:
* He’s also one of the first to know, as Seven immediatly let him know what’s up after his background research.
* V’s heartbroken, wondering just why Rika would recruit a child in her ranks-was it out of kindness, or are the motives far more manipulative than that?
* Either way, he vows he’ll take care of MC, and gladly welcomes her in the RFA
* He takes on an almost paternal role-he’s seen more frequently online in the RFA chatrooms, chatting with MC and trying to make sure she’s as comfortable as possible, that she’s eating healthy and taking care of herself
* He’ll absoloutely recommend she stay at Rika’s apartment, or at the very least he’ll help her find a place of her own, along with a path she wants to follow-be it academic or not
* He’d also love to teach her photography-she’d have the privy on going on roadtrips with V to take nature shots, and he’d be the most patient teacher, lending her his favorite lens to take photos, and helping her edit them afterwards
* If she’s up for it, he’d love to make her his apprentice, especially with how his eyesight deteriorated-he’d be happy if someone would want to continue his work when he’ll be unable to.
SAERAN:
* Like Seven, he also remembers what he’d been through at 17, how dark his life was, all the way up until MC helped him out.
* He often wonders if he chose MC as his target because of how her background reminded him of his own-but he shook the thought away, trying to focus on the now-now that he’s better, healthier, and has a new friend to thank for that.
* He wants to help MC as much as he can, even though he oftentimes feels helpless-he never finished shcool, and he doesn’t want to teach her the horrible act of hacking.
* Instead, he’ll suggest if she wants to live together with him and Seven, at least until she can find a place of her own if she wants to-and if she agrees, then he’d love to learn about botanology with her
* He’ll spend hours in the garden, planting trees and flowers and reading up on the care they need, asking MC to help him out with it-he finds gardening to be a healing hobby, and he’s happy to share this joy and path to recovery with MC.
* He’s almost like a big brother, and he takes big pride in that-he was always the one to be protected, and now, he gets to be the protector instead.
I’m sorry these were a little short aaa ;;

ONF SIBLING (E-tion and J-US)
Tumblr media
So if you had already known me I tend to keep my hcs flexible. Same goes to this ONF DUO as siblings au. It can be either you are blood related with one of them or even not. Also doable if you are older than them, your birthday are in between them, or even you are the youngest, have fun!
Now this duo is super fun because they share the same family name even though not related. Which makes there is new scenario possibility. All of you related by blood is a very lazy way to open up possibilities for fun hcs.
1. Either you three are not related by blood at all. Changyoon and Seungjoon sharing the same family name are just pure coincidence but from different ancestry
2. Changyoon and Seungjoon are related with the same biological parents but you are from the new parent that married with one of their parent
3. They both you met in young age due to marriage of both of your parent and the parents give birth to you later
4. Either you are related from Changyoon or Seungjoon side and either one of them later joined the family. Confusing? OK example you are Changyoon's sibling by blood and then later Seungjoon joined. Or in reversed, Changyoon joined. (this is for the reader to share same family name with them both)
My recommendation goes to number 3😉. Age gap suggested would be 5 to 7 years (this is absolutely intentional you will know why later) .
I personally think is the most fun one
Common hcs for both of them. I will kind off focus on this part for the double Lees this time.
• Changyoon and Seungjoon always give me the frenemy type of chemistry
• Loud af especially if you three plays game. (The house will be even louder if Hyojin and/or Minkyun joins. So is either you join to fun or rip your ears. But if you happened to the eldest sibling, you will glare at them so that they can be quiet)
• Btw loudest happy birthday song and wishes. It does not matter whose birthday was it, it will still gonna be loud.
• Once them both and you 3 gets really comfortable with each other, or should you 3 grow up together, pranking each other is a definite thing you siblings will do.
• To lend an idea from the modern fantasy au I wrote, maybe once they planked you way too hard and you decided to revenge. You bought a fake bug and then when they are minding their own businesses, you suddenly just random throws the fake bug in front of them
• I could it will be like a cue hint for them that they went overboard pranking you when you pulled the fake bug prank move. So they will make it up by taking you out, buying you food or even timidly asking if you have anything in your amazon/shopping cart
• This household shares the same universe with Hyojin Minseok and Jaeyoung Minkyun households. So you will see Hyojin visiting alot. And Changyoon slowly gets to know about his new younger brother's bff and them 3 hang out comfortably in no time.
• If your bff happens to be the younger sibling from Jaeyoung and Minkyun household, you would see them both often when they drop by to pick their younger sibling.
• Who knows? Maybe you later on develop a crush with those good looking visitors
• Lol. Sorry that i got sidetracked, lets go back to the common hcs.
• Changyoon need time to adjust to new environment and people while Seungjoon is the opposite
• If you are happened to be a cheerfully active type, you easily interact with Seungjoon. But if you are not, they will approach you very cautiously. Maybe Changyoon even enough an introvert himself, will initiate first to show that the nuance of this household is perfectly fine. Especially Changyoon, working very hard to not accidentally step on your emotional landmine
• Changyoon stuttering
• Seungjoon glaring/swearing with his eyes
• It will be a very good contrast if Changyoon and Seungjoon are weak against horror or jumpscares but you being the youngest sibling is perfectly fine about it
• Lol even maybe you are the one who kills bug in the household
• 3 of you have own room because apparently Changyoon has really bad sleep qualities so he prefer to sleep alone and you get your own room too either for the same reason or, you being the opposite sex sibling and your parents thought it's best to sleep separately.
• Either you 3 are related or not, they will be a devoted elder brother. But wont over spoil you.
• Seungjoon giving out critique in a gentle tone. While Changyoon is more on expressing his honest thought that meant well.
• Contrast example : Seungjoon will use phrases of compliment like you did wonderful job, you aced it. But Changyoon will just simply said, you worked hard then just pose you a thumbs up.
• I can totally see Seungjoon and you either helping you with your studies and revisions at the living room while Changyoon just sitting there enjoying the presence of you two. Or, Seungjoon just drags you out to the town library and monitor you. Reason you and Changyoon are having way too much fun with video games.
• Seungjoon will later buy you ice cream as reward.
• Btw if you are born later, this is how it will be when you parents brought the baby you back home.
• Seungjoon is excited to see you while Changyoon is a bit timid but still fascinated at how smol you are
• Maybe when you cried, Seungjoon will be the boy in action to help calm you down while Changyoon lowkey panicking.
• Could be Seungjoon is the type of brother who show you toys and demonstrates to the baby/toddler you just to make you laugh.
• But Changyoon's style would be getting himself a hand puppet, the shark one is his fave, and move the hand puppet around while giving light chomps, making you feel ticklish. Once you start smiling, big bro Changyoon starts smiling too.
• But once them both got the hang of it, they help out parents to take care of you. The type of brothers that won't let go of the younger sibling away from their arms and sight.
• Changyoon follows your mum out and help selected your clothes. And even later when you grow older, you would always go to big bro Changyoon for fashion advice
• Both are very reliable elder siblings when it comes to giving advice.
• I can see if you are leaning to socialising advice, you will go to Seungjoon. For a more inwards self contemplating advice, you will go to Changyoon. Overall they are both good listeners.
• Also, them both singing. I do like the tendency of them singing at home ever since you were born, humming short tunes so that you can sleep when you are still a toddler until you graduated kindergarten. Will elaborate more in below if reader stand in also like singing and dancing
• If Hyojin side as a big brother is more attentive towards younger brother, I can see this two are more attentive if its younger sister. Not that their caring will die down if its a brother but when it comes to a sister, they will be gentler
• Oh,also defo the ones who volunteer to accompany you to prom night
Scenario 1. If you are related with any one of them
• Being Changyoon's sibling, maybe you are a contrast of him. He is a scaredy cat and full of expressions, but you are more of a chill zen type. The one who pushes Changyoon's jaw back up when he was too surprised with his mouth open wide.
• Even though you are Changyoon's sibling, you might team up with Seungjoon and Hyojin to tease Changyoon a bit lol
• If you happened to share the same passion of singing just like Changyoon, you two tend to finish each others lyrics or even try harmonising. Seungjoon will join too once he gets comfortable
• Every year in your birthday card, Changyoon will always write "You are the best, Luv you!" (Taken from Changyoon's "Non choigo ya saranghae"
• Being Seungjoon's sibling, you are also close with Hyojin before Changyoon joins
• Lent from above, you are the one who kills bugs at home because you brother will be using you as shield. And then bluffed that he wanted to train you lol
• And yes, the fake bug prank is legit here
• Even though he is your brother, you would gang up with Changyoon to tease Seungjoon . But you won't go overboard,you two stops the moment he starts his death glare.
• If you happened to share the same passion of dancing with Seungjoon, I can see you two dancing to Taemin's and Shinee's discography alot.
Scneario 2. If you are not related with any one of them.
• Seungjoon is gonna talk to you alot to try to know you more
• There will a lot of cute bloopers and maybe Seungjoon passed through either judging you two being weird or maybe later joins
• Changyoon would try and it will more time compared to Seungjoon but if you share something in common with him, you will get him open up quickly. Maybe tiktok, and then you two filmed tiktok snips together
• If Changyoon and Seungjoon happens to know/acquainted already then things are easier, your sibling only just need to help the other party who is the shy and introverted.
• You might think they are both cold and distant when first meet. Especially Changyoon because of his eyes and how he looks when he is not smiling.
• Pranks in this scenario will be lesser than above. The fake bug prank move won't appear in this scenario
• But both Changyoon and Seungjoon are quite of the unexpected bomb lol they sometimes do weird sounds or weird actions lol but those weird quirks always give you good laugh
• Changyoon works a few part time job and sometimes fall asleep on the sofa at the living room . Will always tiptoe if you found Changyoon sleeping at the living room, snoring
• If you found Seungjoon sleeping, and later found out he is a deep sleeper...
• Cues you and Changyoon maybe lowkey pranking or playing around of loud noises just to try waking him up
• (The similar scene in wake up boys video could totally happen)
• If you happened to be also a light sleeper, you are envious of Seungjoon
• You and Changyoon both will never unsee Seungjoon's face as the orange face meme after Hyojin points it out due to revenging Seungjoon calling him piggy
• You will bond with Seungjoon quickier if you are a Taemin fan
• If you are more of a R&B/soul/hiphop lover, you will bond with Changyoon quicker.
• Amazed at Seungjoon able to take in spicy food.
A/N : sorry that it gotten longer because I side tracked

Hey sweetie! Can you please write a bts reaction to a txt member having a crush on their s/o? Thank youuu, have a nice day 💞
Hey, thank you for your request! It was interesting to think about how each member would react but I had a lot of fun writing this! I hope you enjoy! 😁 This is also a lot longer than I intended it to be but I got a bit carried away 😂
Namjoon:
Tumblr media
Namjoon had observed the way Soobin acted around you for a while, seeing the leader of TXT’s infatuation with you. He first became aware of it when they were at a company gathering, Soobin laughing and chatting to you the whole time. Although Namjoon was confident in your relationship, he felt some type of jealousy whenever Soobin was around. It was like he felt the need to be with you at every moment to be reassured that you weren’t flirting with Soobin without realising.
You were currently in the kitchen of your apartment preparing some ingredients to cook dinner when Namjoon walks into the room and traps you in a back hug, his chin resting on your head as you continue chopping the vegetables.
“I was told today by Taehyun that Soobin has a crush on me, isn’t that adorable.” You inform Joon, a giggle on the end of your sentence. Namjoon instantly tenses a little at his suspicions being confirmed.
“Don’t worry Joon, I have no interest in anyone other than you. Soobin just has a schoolboy crush, I’m sure it will be gone soon.” You continue as you feel your boyfriends grip get slightly tighter around your waist.
“I know.” He smirks before placing a kiss on your cheek. “Thinking about it, I find it kind of sweet really.” He chuckles before burying his face into the crook of your neck. You relax when you feel the smile on his lips as he presses feather light kisses to your skin.
Seokjin:
Tumblr media
You are currently at the studio with all members of BTS, the boys having a break for a while after working so hard on their next comeback. You were all sat in a circle talking together, Jin’s arm lazily wrapped around your waist as you cuddle up to his side. The conversation had turned into talking about when they met TXT, all of them praising how talented they are and that they will be really successful in the future. Jungkook, loving to annoy the older members whenever he gets the chance, suddenly states that he overheard Taehyun tell Beomgyu about his crush on you. Everyone instantly looks at you and Jin to see your reactions, Jungkook sitting with a cheeky smirk looking very pleased with himself. You sit up properly and look at Jin. His eyes are wide with a serious face, you couldn’t tell how he was feeling.
The thing is, you were actually closer to Taehyun’s age than you were to Jin’s. So when you started getting closer to TXT Jin became slightly worried, thinking you might have more in common with them or that you could have more fun. Adding the fact the Taehyun has developed a crush on you was another reason for Jin to worry even more. What if he flirted with you? Or asked you out? Seeing the worry in Jin’s expressionas he stares at the floor deep in thought you decide to speak first.
“Um, I’m flattered that Taehyun has a crush on me, that’s very sweet. But I already have a boyfriend who I am extremely happy with.” You state as you try to get Jin’s focus onto you. He finally makes eye contact with you after you have spoken and smiles warmly.
“I’m so glad you feel that way. It would break my heart to see you with anyone else.” Jin softly speaks. He presses a kiss to your lips, full of so much love and passion that you can feel your head spin. You chuckle into it as you hear the guys complaining and telling you to get a room.
Yoongi:
Tumblr media
You were laying across your sofa on your phone texting with Beomgyu. You had become pretty close with the boy since you had been helping them with some preparations with their next album, spending most days in the studio with them and hanging out. Beomgyu had sent you some random memes that he had found of himself and you were cry laughing at them.
Yoongi hadn’t properly seen you for days as you were both so busy with work. He sits down on the sofa next to your feet and looks over at you. You don’t pay him any attention as you are so engrossed in your phone. You giggle as you reply to Beomgyu before going back to scrolling through your phone waiting for his next message.
“(Y/N)? Are you too busy to acknowledge your boyfriend?” Yoongi speaks, getting your attention.
“Oh sorry, I was messaging Beomgyu.” You smile at him apologetically before putting your phone down on the coffee table. You turn back to Yoongi and start asking him about his day.
You had just left to use the bathroom when your phone buzzes to alert you of a text and Yoongi picks it up intrigued by what it could be. It was normal for you to answer each other’s phones in case it was someone calling or texting with an emergency.
From Beomgyu: I need to tell you something that I’ve been too nervous to say. So I’m just gonna do it over text. I’ve had the biggest crush on you for a while and I know you have a boyfriend and I wouldn’t want to get in the way of that but I just felt like I needed to put it out there.
Yoongi’s eye go wide with surprise before anger starts to overtake him. Just as he is about to put your phone back down you walk into the room and see his cross expression.
“What’s wrong yoongs?” You question innocently, not being aware of the situation.
“Why don’t you read Beomgyu’s message and find out.” Yoongi snarls before passing you the phone. You gasp at the message and instantly turn to face your boyfriend who is sat with his arms folded on the sofa, anger clearly more evdient on his face than before.
“I have no idea where this has come from but you don’t have to worry at all. I’m not interested in Beomgyu as anything more than a friend.” You state as you sit next to Yoongi and soothingly fun your arm up and down his bicep.
“I love you.” You whisper to him, sadness showing as your voice starts to crack. Yoongi’s eyes immediately look into yours and his body language softens. He knows in that instant that you are being truthful and his heart breaks a little at your reaction.
“I love you too.” He whispers back as he pulls you close and cuddles you tightly.
Hoseok:
Tumblr media
Hobi is your sunshine boyfriend. He loves to be around people and make everyone laugh and smile. So when he sees you sitting on your own looking down he rushes over to you and wants to try and make you happy again.
“What’s wrong?” He questions as he sits on the floor beside you. You look up at him and force a small smile onto your face.
“Hueningkai just asked to have a chat and then told me that he has feelings for me.” You mumble, reluctant to share the confession with your boyfriend.
“Aw that’s really cute.” Hoseok beams at you and laughs at your surprised reaction.
“What do you mean it’s cute?” You question confused.
“Well he’s only 16, this could be his first real crush. You know, like when you got a crush on me. I was the older, more mature man that the young (Y/N) fell for.” He laughs and a genuine smile finally breaks out onto your face.
“Haha I guess you’re right. Not about you being mature, but about me being Kai’s first real crush.” You laugh.
“Hey, that’s not a nice thing to say about your loving and caring boyfriend.” Hoseok playfully protests before getting revenge by smothering you with kisses.
Jimin:
Tumblr media
Jimin had always been envious of TXT’s height. Now Jimin isn’t short but he is the shortest member out of both groups and so when he heard that you find tall guys very attractive it made him feel a little sad.
While you were visiting him at the dorms you had received a phone call from one of your friends and left Jimin to take it in another room. Your friend also knows the boys of TXT and had heard a rumour that Soobin fancied you, which you instantly brushed off knowing that even if it was true you were very committed to Jimin. What you didn’t know is that Jimin was evedropping your conversation and heard everything.
You re-entered Jimin’s room to find him waiting for you with a slight pout.
“So Soobin fancies you then? I guess he is your ideal man right?” Jimin says before you can even enter the room properly.
“So what if he fancies me, I’m all yours.” You reply without a seconds thought, sitting next to him as you intertwine your hands together.
“You’re my ideal man, no one else.” You conclude.
Taehyung:
Tumblr media
You were sitting in the park with the members of TXT having a picnic. It was a hot summers day and you were busy laying on the picnic blanket sunbathing while everyone was playing games. Yeonjun sits down beside you to catch his breath after trying to chase down Kai who had poured water all over him. You open your eyes and peer up to see Yeonjun staring down at you.
“Hey Yeonjun, taking a break?” You ask as he smiles warmly at you.
“Yeah, just taking in the stunning view.” He replies and winks at you before standing up and going back to join in the games. It wasn’t unusual for Yeonjun to flirt with you and it is fairly obvious he fancies you which you found sweet. What worried you however, is what your boyfriend Taehyung would say if he knew. Just as you were thinking this you hear a familiar voice call your name and you turn your head to see Taehyung walking over to you. A huge smile appears on your face as you stand up and rush over to him. You press a deep kiss to his lips as soon as you reach him and feel him chuckle at your excitement at him joining you.
Taehyung had instantly joined in playing football with the boys while you sat and watched, cheering them all on from the sidelines. Yeonjun approached you again and smiled at you.
“You look so beautiful today (Y/N)” Yeonjun compliments you. You blush at this and thank him. What you didn’t know is that Taehyung had heard your interaction and approached the both of you.
“Hey baby, I’m gonna sit with you for a bit. I’ve missed you today.” Taehyung smiles cheerfully before he sits at your side and wraps a protective arm around your waist. He pulls you in for a passionate kiss before looking at Yeonjun.
“Hey Yeonjun, you can take my place in the game.” The look Taehyung gives the younger male makes him stand up and hurry over to the game, a smug look resting on your boyfriends face as he pulls you into another kiss.
Jungkook:
Tumblr media
You were attending an awards show with Jungkook and the rest of BTS and TXT. It was the first awards show you have ever been to so to say you vere nervous was an understatement. You had spent hours getting ready wanting to look perfect for the event, which, as a result left Jungkook speechless as you walked into the room. The whole night he made sure that he had either his arm around your waist or he was holding your hand, not wanting to let you out of his sight in case anyone tried to flirt with you.
You were just walking out of the toilets when you bumped into Hueningkai. You knew Kai had a crush on you, it was pretty obvious as he blushed every time you spoke to him and he always seemed nervous around you.
“Sorry (Y/N), I wasn’t looking where I was going. I must say, you look absolutely incredible tonight.” He blushes with slight embarrassment as his compliment.
“Aw thank you Kai, you’re very sweet. You look very handsome too. I’ll see you back at the table.” You smile at him warmly before walking back to the BigHit table. You sit in your seat next to your boyfriend.
“You ok kookie?” You question him as you notice his stern look.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’ve been noticing how all the guys have been looking at you tonight. I swear their eyes might pop out of their heads.” He states looking slightly tense. “I mean, it’s so obvious Kai has a thing for you.” He continues as you giggle at his jealousy.
“Why does it bother you so much? I’m all yours.” You say as you lean into him, his arm instinctively wraps around your waist to pull you even closer.
“You’re very cute when you’re jealous.” You remark before pecking his cheek making him smile again.

OTP Meme
Tumblr media
art by @yesjejunus​
Do they fight often? If so, what is their dynamic like?
Sort of, they’ve actually calmed down since first knowing each other. It use to be that they hated each other because ‘fuck you, I want to leave this stupid ass valley why do I need to fetch quest when my survival is maxed’, and ‘goddamnit you made me care about this kid that youre dragging into war I cant live with myself if he dies due to your little game of exterminate the raider tribe’.
I...am indecisive about how Emilia ends Honest Hearts, but even in the worse case scenario they do become at most tolerant of each other. Still, their arguments is mostly Emi poking and prodding for a reaction, and Joshua feeding right into it. These usually end in him being moody, but he rebounds well enough. Their big arguments though are usually over how things should be handled, in which case both do their own shit and then one has to bail the other out. 
Who is the most skeptical of the two?
Joshua, hands down. Emilia is so eccentric compared to anything he’s use to, he almost always has something to say about anything she brings up. Even if its sound to him he still questions it if it comes from her mouth. It isn’t always voiced, but the eyebrow does raise. He’s stopped being amazed at her actually accomplishing what she says she will and has started getting annoyed with it...what a show off.
Who would be most likely to suggest a night of dancing?
Emilia, and she’d dance whether he comes along or not. My Joshua never learned how to dance, but I don’t think its his cup of tea either. He hums while he works, though, and Emilia has honed in on that.
What would they do if the other was injured in battle?
Assess the situation and then adjust. I think both would cover each other, though I think Emi is more likely to haul his ass to safety. That’s her target, damnit! Unless one was really fucking up patching themselves up, I dont think the other would help with wound dressing though.
How do their fighting styles complement each other?
Complement is a very interesting word here. Their entire schtick is that Emilia is adaptive, dynamic, changing to fit the situation and he is....just headstrong and very determined, haha. They work well together in that she forms to fit his methods and is his fall back if things ever go south. It works out well, some of the time. Other times its Emilia stealing his kills and him getting angry at how fast her draw is. 
Do they want children? Does it frighten them? How many do they want?
Together? No. He is particularly someone she would be cautious around. In their canon I don’t think they sleep together, just because Emilia has Thoughts about a man like that being on top of her, or at least having some kind of mindset about having slept with her. 
Still, I think my Graham is old enough to realize that kids wouldn’t have fit well into his life, Legion existing or not. Both grew up with religious and family pressures to marry and have kids, and neither really felt that it was for them. I think my Graham tried to find a greater purpose than starting a family in Legion, and that was his justification for never trying.
What happened when they took them home to their families? If their families aren’t in the picture anymore, how do they feel about it?
Joshua learns about Emilia’s family and past in a round about sort of way. Camila introduced herself to him, which was a heart attack to Emilia, and he’s seen the photos she keeps in her cigarette case. In honesty, he feels a bit envious at how closely she was able to keep her sister. Though I don’t know how I headcanon his blood family situation, I do think that he misses kinship. After Edward, he becomes very lonely, and even reconnecting with New Canaan he feels lost. How does a man his age find another friend that close? It’s part of why he so easily falls in being war chief again in my canon. It’s familiar, and its something he knows he’s good at, and that in itself is its own comfort. 
For Emilia, I think she envies his community. Though she was young when her life started falling apart she still knew what a stable home was, what a loving family was, and what it felt like to feel safe. She knows that even after all the tragedy he’s caused and how much misfortune fell on his tribe that he still has a home to go back to, and that they’d accept him with open arms. She misses being on the receiving end of that type of love, and most of all she hates being so closed off to people about herself. Even her sister she hides things from, and even then her sister doesn’t share her faith. I think if Joshua ever invited her meet his family she’d accept, even if she thought it would go poorly, just to feel things out and see if she could find some community in there.
How does each person show affection towards the other?
Again, its in the small things. When Emilia springs him from NCR custody, it was for entirely selfish, headhunting reasons, but she brought him bandages and his bible, and those were the small comforts that mattered. She’s hard on him in areas that no one else was, like teaching him genuine wilderness survival, or how to be independent. She also tries to get him to slow down and think about what he really cares about. Sure he gets his purpose from being war chief with the Dead Horses, but he truly does miss his tribe. These show themselves in small conversations, but if she didn’t care for him she wouldn’t even bring them up.
For him, its a bit of the same. He entertains her bullshit, but he also cleans and repairs her weapons. During their end game, Emilia has a robotic prosthetic leg, and he learns how to repair and upkeep it on the fly. He becomes receptive to her teaching (if only for a while), and to humble himself enough for that should speak volumes. 
Who cries the most? Who is better at comforting?
Neither really cry, though I think Emilia at least doesn’t feel pressured to keep face around him. Sharing a religious background and a lot of similar-but-different viewpoints, they actually comfort each other well in a passive sort of way. If their problems don’t relate to each other, they can usually talk through their issues. For Emilia, it’s a huge comfort to have someone else religious to talk to. She doesn’t often get this with most people, and even if Joshua isn’t 100% on the same thought train, the core belief is still there. 
For Joshua, it’s nice having someone who is also religious but doesn’t feel like he has to perform for them. Emilia isn’t here to judge him, they’ve both done and do horrible things in their life, and she’s just different enough that if she says something he doesn’t agree with he can dismiss it. Having someone he doesn’t have to keep face around is a breath of relief. Its nice to not have any expectations set on you, and although it annoys him a majority of the time, her laid back personality allows him to let his guard down. 
When it comes down to it though, a lot of what Emilia has already lived through are things that are popping up in Joshua’s life now, and he often finds reassurance in that she’s found ways of coping, and that she is willing to talk with him when he needs it.
Who is the bigger flirt?
Emilia, no contest. Making passes at him is a pass time to her. If he didn’t have his face covered, she’d probably see just how hard she could make him blush.

“why aren’t you scared of me, why do you care for me, when we all fall asleep, where do we go?”
What’s your sexual orientation? Bisexual. What are you obsessed with right now? lol y'all know my staple stuff I'm always obsessed with, so two recent ones are Skillet (I've been binging soooo hard) and drawing again! What piercings do you want? A lot, jfc. More than any, I want collarbone dermals once I lose enough weight to where they're prominent. I've been on a goddamn weight loss plateau for two years. What’s your favorite show to binge? None. I generally don't enjoy binging too much. Do you watch porn? No, not interested. Do you have a secret sideblog? lol this survey blog.

What tattoos do you want? I refuse to die until I'm P A I N T E D  F O R  T H E  G O D S. Do you like paper books or ebooks better? Absolutely paperback books.

Can you lift your significant other (your best friend if you’re single)? I'm sure I could. What is the first vehicle you recall your parents/guardians owning?

Probably texting back "fuck you" to Mom when she was being really shitty when I was having a breakdown. Pick one: laundry, dishes, or vacuuming? I'd pick vacuuming over the others any day.

Do you resemble one parent more than the other? I don't think so. Your best friend needs a kidney to survive; do you give them one of yours? If we're compatible, yes. Name a big life event that has taken place for you within the last 2 years. Nothing because my life is incredibly monotonous and stagnant. Name one difficult lesson you’ve learned. Life isn't fair, and life doesn't care. Name one thing you look forward to as you get older. Hey, let's hope I can be a functioning adult before I'm 70.

As a kid, I both watched and feared Courage the Cowardly Dog, lol. Do you have any potted plants in your house? No. If you were born outside of your era, when would you want to be born and why? Early '80s! What a time for music, metal fashion, and fun. If you ran a store, what would you sell/have? IF I was more knowledgeable on more species, probably reptiles and more proper care materials and give advice that's not shit. Places like PetSmart and Petco just... disgust me. What part in a movie would you love to play? If I was confident in acting, probably the maniac lmao. I've experienced enough Crazy for that. What's the oldest article of clothing you own?

It'd be quite a long walk, at least by my standards. What was the last picture you uploaded to your Facebook? A picture of Mom and me.

I in general have an extremely obsessive personality. Do you like staying in hotels? I don't have much of an opinion. It's a nice change of space, though. Are musicals interesting or boring? They're cheesy to me. What is your favorite scent of incense? (If you burn it) Okay, HEAR ME OUT. There is legit a kind called "monkey farts" that smells SO FUCKIN GOOD.

I'm seriously digging Halocene lately, esp their cover of "bury a friend." Have you ever sex texted? This is gonna sound so stupid, but I'm actually not *totally* sure what that is? Just like, dirty talking or like, virtually RPing sex? The former I did when I was fuckin 12 like a goddamn idiot, but not the latter. When's the last time you went out of state? A year and a half (I think?) ago to visit Sara. What was your favorite TV show last year? I didn't *really* have one, at least not actively. Like I didn't devoutly watch anything. Would you know who to talk to if you wanted weed? HAHA I sureeeee do. I wouldn't want any, though. What is your favorite Beatles song? "Hey, Jude." If you could kiss anyone right now, who would it be? I don't want to think about this. What is your favorite energy drink? I don't like energy drinks. Way too intense. Have you ever been to Hooters before? No. When's the last time you tripped? (Literally or, you know) HA, funny I take this survey today because my left foot is either broken or I seriously tore a ligament in it because I fell yesterday. I had to go up a dose on my medication that helps my nightmares, but it's notoriously for lowering your blood pressure, and mine is naturally low. I got up to go to the bathroom and grab breakfast and many times nearly passed out from being so dizzy until I finally fell and my foot bent forward. I couldn't even walk by myself yesterday and am still really struggling today. Our family friend brought the boot she wore when she broke her foot over just a while ago, but if this doesn't help, Mom's demanding I go to the ER. Can you touch your toes? I don't know HOW I can, but I can, I guess from when I did yoga daily and I could pretty much go under my feet. What would you say is the best feeling in the world? Being in love and knowing they're in love with you, too. Have you ever “spoken” to any celebrities via Twitter? No. Do you like croissants? YESSSSSSSSSSS. Do you get a lot of traffic outside your house or not? Yes. Mom explained to me why one day because I'd asked, but idr what she said. Do you eat cereal bars? No, I'm a granola bar person. Would you consider yourself healthy? Uh no. Assuming you could speak and understand the language, would you ever study in a foreign, non-English speaking country? Sure, for like a year or so! Doing that in Germany would be amazing. Are you on any prescribed medication? A lot. Do you know any immigrants? I know an illegal one that got deported. I probably know others. Have you ever lived in university or college accommodation before? No. If you haven’t already, are you scared of leaving home? If you have, do you like it? Very scared. I'm just very dependent and ignorant on how to be an adult. If you could only eat one vegetable for a year (not including potatoes) what would it be? Broccoli. Do you have a certain routine in the bath or shower? What is it? Shave, shampoo, facial scrub, this exfoliating brush for your feet, and then body wash. Is there anything that you loved a year ago but just can’t stand now? Hm. I don't really know. What’s the weirdest meat you’ve ever eaten? I took the SMALLEST bite out of it because I couldn't stomach eating it, but after a lot of convincing I tried a microscopic bit out of deer jerky. If you smoke, what brand of cigarettes do you smoke? If you don’t, have you ever tried? Don't smoke and don't want to. Do you like dried fruit at all? what’s your favorite type? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

obscure ask meme: 14, 26, and 3
3. what movie/game/etc. helps you calm down?
The Mummy, 1789, and Chronicles of Narnia for me. Also: Star Trek: TNG and Murder, She Wrote. They’re basically like time portals. Also, given that I nearly cried while playing Wii: Endless Ocean recently, I THINK it’s safe to say that that one counts. Even listening to the opening number is just…memories. Happiness. Calm. 
14. do you like makeup?
I like seeing what other PEOPLE can do with it and I’m always impressed and slightly envious of the transformation factor (the possibility of having cheekbones is very enticing, tbh), but I can’t be bothered to learn how to do it myself. It seems like an encumbrance as far as every day life. I DEFINITELY think it’s ridiculous that women are expected to double down on it in order to appear “professional” while their counterparts don’t. 
26. what do you think about genderbent Solène or Olympe? 
Hm…..I’m ALWAYS down for 1789 genderbends, because I think that you could get a really interesting story out of that, probably more interesting than the canon story. I would probably ship Fem!Laz/Fem!Ronan like fucking UPS.
More under the readmore because I ended up thinking way too much about this and very little of it ended up coherent:  
 I THINK Solène would be hard, if we’re assuming that she’s genderbent into a cis dude from a cis woman, given that Canon!Solène puts so much of an emphasis on childbirth=womanhood, which is personally……EH to me, especially when I know her character was written by a bunch of dudes, but….Hm, it’s hard because on one hand, I feel like a genderbent Solène (Solal?) wouldn’t have to deal with nearly the same issues that Solène has to deal with in canon. Obviously, Ronan fucking off to Paris after their father died would STILL be devastating on an emotional level, but it wouldn’t be quite the SAME level of devastation as a woman who’s lost her family home, the only source of economic stability they HAD in the form of the farm, and both of the major male figures in her life, with no inheritance or dowry to give her a cushion. The employment opportunities for a guy in France at this time were significantly larger, even though he COULD still be a sex worker, because it’s not like male sex workers didn’t exist at this time either, though there was always that added sense of danger due to the illegality of it. (Not that that…..REALLY stopped anyone. I mean, the Tuileries and Palais Royal were NOTORIOUS gay hangouts, though most of that, from what I REMEMBER was more casual sex rather than necessarily sex work.) And, tbh, you could even keep the Zuka/Toho thing with him getting a keeper, since it’s not like that would be UNUSUAL, though I could see him taking a more personal job like, say, a valet or a footman, since that would give off some plausible deniability. (Remember when I mentioned in Forgiveness that Ronan tended to act as Laz’s valet? YEEEEEEEEEP.) 
I think that Ronan would STILL be horrified, because it would still be a little sibling of his and Ronan’s deep enough in the closet at this point that he can see Narnia from his house and I think that, for all his posturing, Ronan is still something of a country boy, but it wouldn’t be the same as his LITTLE SISTER, since a lot of Ronan’s issues with Solène and sex work stem from….him being an 18th century man. Solène “gave up her dignity,” and now Ronan’s perfect little image of a societally acceptable life post-Revolution, where he comes back and everything is nice and happy and they can live on the farm together and Solène can get married off to a nice man and have ten kids while Ronan gets married to a nice girl…that’s all gone. I don’t…let Ronan off EASY for seeing his sister as being “ruined,” even though I do think that I ultimately go a lot easier on him than a lot of people do, but I do think that’s very much where his line of thought’s going. One of Ronan’s biggest flaws is probably that, for all that he talks of Revolution and changing the world….he doesn’t really….know HOW to move beyond his own prejudices. He can be surprisingly conservative like that. Which is far from UNUSUAL for a revolutionary at the time; he’s not UNIQUE there. I do think that if Ronan saw his little brother as an aristocrat’s kept boy, he would still FREAK. And then become Lazare’s kept boy because DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO. 
Another thing that would be possible would be Solal becoming a soldier. That would be a job with steady shitty pay, food of questionable quality, a roof over his head of questionable quality. Soldiers occupied a very…ODD place in society at this point, if I’m remembering correctly from the research I did nearly a year ago, because on one hand, they COULD be seen as heroic everymen, but there was also a distinct stigma caused by their itinerant lifestyle (esp. re: women) and tendency of causing trouble in the towns where they were boarded. Because you have a bunch of guys in one town for a certain amount of time, some of them getting drunk and rowdy, particularly on holidays and festivals, and….It’s not the SAME level of stigma that sex workers had, obviously, but Ronan would probably NOT be happy with it, especially since it puts them on essentially opposite sides. I can also see Ronan FREAKING OUT over it because of the circumstances of their father’s death, which could cause a pretty similar argument to their canon argument. The “Je Veux le Monde” EQUIVALENT would then be him snapping against his superior officer and deserting to join the Revolution, where he and Ronan reconcile. Though, tbh, I’m not sold on EITHER of the Mazurier sibs being able to take orders. Like….Solène is pragmatic enough that Solal probably COULD, but I think he would be seething after a while, especially if he had a dick for an officer. 
Tl;dr: I think that a genderbent Solène would still be POSSIBLE, but I also think that so much of Solène’s arc is really inextricably bound to her being a woman in 18th century France.
Olympe would also be difficult, because the entire reason that she meets up with Ronan is that she’s the Queen’s undergoverness/confidant, and I think that it would be very…difficult for a man to be in that same level of confidence. Or, at least, to be in that level of confidence and NOT be accused of having an affair with her himself. Maybe he’s a young, softspoken courtier who somehow gets entangled in the whole situation? Maybe even a friend of Fersen’s, as opposed to Antoinette’s, with his Enlightenment ideals contrasting to Fersen’s conservatism? His father wanted him for military service initially so that he could carry on the family tradition, but instead he somehow became wrapped up in court life instead, learning to keep his mouth closed and smile. (Though in contrast to, say, Laz’s family, his father was very supportive of him taking an alternative path, even if he was disappointed.) But who still has a conscience and so rushes to the Bastille to try to save Ronan’s life anyway when things go south.
I actually think that Genderbent!Olympe would have a lot in common with Laz, since they would both have that military background and both are doggedly loyal to the Royal Family. With the key difference being that M!Olympe isn’t as DEEP into things as Laz is. Laz is just…covered in blood at this point, whereas M!Olympe ISN’T. 
Also, IF we go with the “Solal is a soldier” option, then that gives the two of them more of an opportunity to meet if Solal is anywhere near the Bastille at the time. 
It would also explain a LOT about his fear about getting involved with either of the Mazurier sibs, because THAT could ruin his life at court, and it would give Artois some leverage to try to use. Not that I haven’t written a carbon copy of that plotline with Laz before.
Again, it’s hard, because so MUCH of Olympe’s role is tied into being a woman in 18th century France. Again, not IMPOSSIBLE, but DIFFERENT. I think that you would end up with a completely different plot/character.

Hailey’s Thoughts: My Introverted  Personality
Have you seen this meme before? It’s a picture of a young girl getting ready for the day and is brushing her hair while crying. The caption to the picture is “ Me getting ready to go out with friends because I promised them I’d go but I really don’t feel like it.” This hit me right in the heart. I was laugh-crying after seeing it because I related to it so much. This meme got a lot of attention on social media. Which brought me to thinking about how my introverted personality is affecting different aspects in my life. Also, how many introverts vs extroverts are out there? If this meme blew up its got to mean something. 
 I have always had friends. While I was growing up, I always had a small group of friends and usually one best friend. I was never the type to be the most popular  but I never had a problem socializing with the ones closet to me. I was always a bit shy. When I moved in 10th grade to a new school, in a new country, things really started to fall apart. I tried to be social, but everyone already had their groups formed. Almost everyone grew up together and had great chemistry. My insecurities sky rocketed, my shyness kicked up, and I started to wear a protective layer around my heart at school. I felt like such an oddball out. I avoided time at school and knew little to nobody from my graduating class. I did make a few friends throughout my time in high school, but after graduating I find that only one friend and I stay in touch on a daily basis. Sadly, she lives in a different state. I have no real desire to go out and be social. I go to work and I feel that is my socializing time. (even though I am technically obligated to go).
Most days I would rather be by myself everyday than have to communicate with others. It exhausts me just thinking about hanging out with friends. I feel content most of my days being and focusing on myself. Lately, I just feel so confused. Is it healthy to spend this much alone time? Is the internet truly helping me stay connected or is it just pushing me further away from true friendship? Will I ever truly make genuine friends again? Should I put effort to revisit old friendships, even though we have fallen off for a while? I get envious observing other people’s friendships. Yet, I find myself putting little to no effort into searching for those friendships. I find myself not wanting to try and get stuck in pattern.
In all honesty, I am not ashamed about being my own best friend. I feel so content and happy with my family, my partner, and my animals. With that being said, I think 2019 will be a good start to make real connections with people. I think being vulnerable and putting yourself out there to make friends and maintain those friendships takes effort. We are all humans. We all need social interactions to be healthy and live fulfilling lives. It’s just a matter off who were giving our energy and time to. Hopefully, I can start manifesting more authentic friends in my life very soon.
What are your thoughts on being introverted? Or are you an extrovert ?I think it is important for us to all discuss the true nature of our behaviors and personality in order to start collectively healing. Start the thread: LETS CONNECT. You got a friend in me. <3

Character Flaws Meme
No one is perfect, so every character has their flaws. Write down your muse’s five worst Tragic Flaws and how they embody them, and tag your friends. Feel free to use [this list of character flaws] if you want!
Tagged by: @pieman1112​ Tagging: Anyone who wants to do it
| Gimle |
Tumblr media
Blunt: Characterized by directness in manner or speech; without subtlety or evasion
Gimle can, and will be very straightforward about well pretty much everything. It doesn’t matter if it’ll hurt someone’s feelings or not, best to just tell people the blunt truth. Her bluntness can also be because she doesn’t know how to deal with people.
Envious: Showing extreme cupidity; painfully desirous of another’s advantages
Jealous of the fact of how easy it is for others to show emotion, also super jealous of Robin. Even if everything Gimle is jealous of Robin for is stuff Gimle in away already has.
Judgemental: Inclined to make and form judgements, especially moral or personal ones, based on one’s own opinions or impressions towards others/practices/groups/religions based on appearance, reputation, occupation, etc
Everything comes down to the simple thing of if she feels like someone’s blood is on her hands or not. She judges everyone that way, and will make sure everyone knows that.
Reckless: Heedless. Headstrong. Foolhardy. Unthinking boldness, wild carelessness and disregard for consequences. 
Gimle will always take the risky road, she’ll never go about something the easy way, no matter how safer it is. And life- especially her own -is something she really doesn’t care about, so she doesn’t see anything wrong with being reckless.
Sarcastic: A subtle form of mockery in which an intended meaning is conveyed obliquely
Maybe not so much as her trying to be sarcastic, it more just happens. Maybe just because of the tone of her voice, or something just ends up sounding like she’s mocking them when she’s not.
| Robin |
Tumblr media
Dependent: Unable to exist, sustain oneself, or act appropriately or normally without the assistance or direction of another
Robin really doesn’t know what to do in life without at least someone to look up to, and for them to kind of tell her what she should be doing. It’s a big reason as to why it was easy for her to help Validar, other then the fact he’s her father of course.
Envious: Showing extreme cupidity; painfully desirous of another’s advantages
Thinks to having future past!Robin/Gimle’s memories, she’s really jealous of Gimle, and what her life could have been like. Sometimes she even dreams of living that life.
Liar: Compulsively and purposefully tells false truths more often than not. A person who has lied or who lies repeatedly.
Even if Robin herself was the one who came up with the idea that she must be seeing the future, even she doesn’t fully believe it. Part of her know she’s telling everyone lies, events don’t seem to always match up. And as long as that keeps happening her lies will fall apart, one by one.
Overemotional: Excessively or abnormally emotional. Sensitive about themselves and others, more so than the average person.
She can normally hide this pretty okayish, maybe... but she can be pretty sensitive about what her life has become, about the life she left behind. And just over all how much she actually breaks down in tears about she’ll become, what she’ll do to the world.
Soft-hearted: Having softness or tenderness of heart that can lead them into trouble; susceptible of pity or other kindly affection. They cannot resist helping someone they see in trouble, suffering or in need, and often don’t think of the repercussions or situation before doing so
Robin cares, big time. Maybe even a little too much for someone who is working towards the end of all life, but she can’t help it. Grima isn’t awaken yet, so there’s no harm in saving lives right now, right? And she’ll keep telling herself it’s so they’ll have the honor of dying by Grima’s hand, but in the end it’s just because she can’t stand back and let people die. Not if she could do something about it. Her mother always told her to be kind, and so she’ll always help those in need.
| Crowe |
Tumblr media
Childish: Marked by or indicating a lack of maturity; puerile.
Crowe has a active imagination, what may make her seem childish, or maybe just a little on the crazy side. She also looks young, and with her really soft voice she may come of a sweet little kid at first. Until you actually hear her really start talking. She also does act kind of childish when she doesn’t get her way, what normally means she doesn’t get to watch any fights.
Fixated: In psychoanalytic theory, a strong attachment to a person or thing, especially such an attachment formed in childhood or infancy and manifested in immature or neurotic behaviour that persists throughout life
Crowe has one thing always on her mind, weapons. Her biggest dream is to make weapons! And watch people beat each other up with them... She’s just very fixated on weapons and fights, all the fighting. Just think Ruby from RWBY when it comes to weapons, she’s kind of like that.
Gluttonous: Given to excess in consumption of especially food or drink
Saying that Crowe will drink way more cups of alcohol then she probably should... and that fact she normally eats mountains of food everyday, I say this probably fits her.
Illiterate: Unable to read and write
The man that took Crowe in and raised her had no real way of teaching her, so she really didn’t have much of away of learning. This doesn’t mean she can’t read at all, but they have to be short simple words for her. And she never even tried to learn to write.
Klutz: Clumsy. Blunderer 
Crowe is a huge klutz, always dropping something, running into stuff, she’s really good at burning her hands. And you know there had to be more to it then just playing around with weapons when she shouldn’t have when it came to losing her eye.

2020-Early 2021, or How I Learned to (Never) Stop Worrying and “Love” Global Anxiety
Published in Winter Edition of Harbinger Asylum
           “I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring!” Before this commences any further, I would like to be selfish for a brief moment and set aside a few words for David Bowie. Earlier this month marked the fifth year of his absence from this planet, as well as what would have been his seventy-fourth birthday. We have lost many artists in many respected fields over the years, including Gil Scott-Heron, Leonard Cohen, Selena, Prince, Greg Lake, and countless others. David Bowie meant and still means a great deal to me as a creator, as well as a human being. The bounty of work and tremendous impact he left behind for his musical contemporaries and his descendants cannot be unmatched. Furthermore, and I hate to seem melodramatic, but if it was not for David Bowie’s words and aural pleasures, I would not be on Earth, existing in this physical life. Around the middle of my sophomore year of high school, I was ready to take my own life. By some stroke of luck, Bowie’s music was able to reach me at a time when friends and family could not. My inner voice heard the dulcet tones, became encircled by musical wonderment, and whispered to me, “You are not finished yet.” I owe him an infinite amount of gratitude for many silent gestures, including: introducing me to a number of gifted artists from around the globe, helping me to embrace the full power of diversity and eclectic nature within the arts, and breathe new life in me. This newfound breath of life added a dash of a unique sense of being, as well as a sense of self. David, wherever you are in the Cosmos, ‘thank you’ would be an understatement. As Scott Walker said to you on your fiftieth birthday, “I’ll have a drink to you…on the other side of midnight.”
           Until last Wednesday, a small boy isolated himself in a toy store the size of a mansion. He remained as cloistered as humanly possible. His mother insisted that they leave and that he could not have the toy he so desperately desired. His mother tried every tactic that her parental skills could manifest, but to no avail. It was useless. The boy simply refused to leave. This situation was the only analogy I could concoct to describe D****d T***p, the former President of the United States. So much is to be said about the ‘actions’ within his presidency, the lack of tact he blatantly showed, as well as the pomposity of his overall demeanor. My father gave the best description of T***p. He said, “He is a caricature of himself.” Even repeating that remark aloud brings me to tears induced by hysterical laughter. The truth is evident, as well as being stranger than fiction. It is worth noting that while I am unashamedly writing this way about the jive turkey that slightly over half of the country voted for, I am by no means glorifying the opposition, either. I daren’t bring up my explicit political views as an individual to the table, mainly because they are beyond jaded to begin with. While I have issues that I stand for and against, I see no reason for them to reach the public eye when the very country I reside in is more divided than united in more ways than one. I have not sided with either major party since I can remember, but I contribute as a citizen in any way possible. An individual votes with their heart, their mind, and their gut instinct. If and when we become more united, I may feel more inclined to discuss said views.
           Like numerous other political skeptics, I will be watching in the wings to see how this newfangled presidency unfolds. Whatever ensues, I am thankful that the T***p has officially left the building. After the insurrection, there was absolutely nothing that could salvage his title…not after every insignificant syllable that was uttered from his lips. I am almost envious of textbook writers and young schoolchildren in the sense that this particular chapter of American and world history will be taught in such a way that will never be forgotten. In addition to being an insult to the country, the name (and word) T***p will permanently instill terror into the hearts of many, as well as secretive and public elation for others. It was a horror comedy film with so many sequels that it became an internationally known franchise. I demand a refund for the loss of my brain cells. There is one beautifying factor of T***p’s brief tenure as president, one that I will miss for as long as I live: the bottomless pit of free entertainment, as well as the entertainment value that followed. From the endless piles of memes and song parodies to the talented people who can impersonate him and his arsenal of mannerisms, wit knows no end. Fun fact: T***p was the only president who blocked people on Twitter. I am quite jealous of the few people I know who have earned that badge of honor. Then again, Twitter bestowed an even bigger honor on the Chief Blocker himself. Oh, digital glory! May this new chapter unify us in boundless fits of laughter. I also feel the need to remind you that everything displayed is merely my opinion. My words are not gospel, despite the outrage nation we live in where the attitude of one too many individuals is, “Everyone is entitled to my opinion, and your belief system is lower than dust.”
           After viewing the inauguration and the host of multifaceted artists who received the genuine honor of performing before Joe Biden, Kamala Harris (First Woman and First POC Vice President…absolutely incredamazing), their diverse team, and the entire nation, one person’s distinctive performance stuck with me. It was not Jennifer Lopez. It was not Lady Gaga. It was none other than Amanda Gorman, the youngest National Youth Poet Laureate and the youngest poet to recite at an inauguration. I regret to say that prior to this reading, I have only heard her name being spoken during conversations about my literary contemporaries. After watching selected recitations and reading certain compositions, her piece ‘The Hill We Climb’ sent my cranium and third eye for a loop. Not only was her voice full of conviction and soul, but the words she expelled screamed truths we longed to hear. From moments of her history to the current state of affairs, ‘The Hill We Climb’ is the epitome and living embodiment of human sensibility, a wakeup call that not only belongs to this country, but the entire blue-green globe that we inhabit. We are but mere guests in this living, breathing sphere and it is our duty to preserve it beyond our abilities. After all, as the old adage goes, “The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to the Earth.” Amanda Gorman’s honor as an inaugural poet stems from a prestigious role that only a small handful of other have played. They are as follows: Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Miller Williams, Elizabeth Alexander, and most recently, Richard Blanco. Besides the usual set of messages, musical performances, praise, and other inauguration rituals, the poem is said to exemplify who we are as a country and the actions we should be taking. It is a gentle, yet harsh reminder of the matters that are and the matters that will be. In this century, ‘The Hill We Climb’ is nothing short of needed, the jolt of electricity to shock us back to life after everything we have endured thus far. In addition to the multitude of medical staff members and frontline workers receiving the vaccines they so rightfully earned, Amanda Gorman is a hero in my book. How she recited her piece will forever be ingrained in my mind. May this excerpt from her poem affect you the same way, Dearest Readers.
“But, one thing is certain, if we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright.”
