doing grocery shopping with the batboys

Could you write something fun and fluff please?

is one of my favorite activities.

I love what you write so much. My favorites are Dickie bird and Jay bird.

Don’t know whether this is fun or fluff as you’d wanted it (kinda went on a personal rant in Jason’s a little bit but I don’t regret it) but I still hope you enjoy it not the less. Also thank you for enjoying my Jason/ Dick stuff! 🫶🦦🐿️

Dick:

You go in for certain things that you need and come out with way more then you probably should. (And most of it isn’t what you actually needed)

Half of the stuff you get is mainly what Dick thinks Hayley might like and she ends up only liking 50% of it…the ‘daddy’s little girl’ doggy shirt was pushing it tbh.

Dick tends to wander off when your shopping together that when you went to ask him a question, only to notice that he was gone, you sigh and say;

‘Dick?’

A few isles over you heard a faint ‘yes honey?’

He was in the pet section. again.

You’d have to remind him that you were only there for specific things and nothing else, but Dick would always try to persuade you into allowing him to get something was wasn’t on the list at all, by battering his eyelids at you and saying ‘pretty please.’

You naturally can’t say no to you pretty boy who acts like a man child when shopping, especially if you’re the one who’s paying.

The shopping list you made might as well have been thrown in the bin with how often you come home, only to be reminded that you barely got 25% of the stuff on the shopping list thanks to Dick’s impulsiveness.

However Dick would only use this as an excuse to go shopping again later on in the week/month and do it all over again without remorse.

Also Dick is way too polite to tell people blocking the isle to move, he wants to, he really does but all he does is breathe in deeply and plaster on a smile before soldering on.

Jason:

Grocery shopping wasn’t a favourite of Jason’s but if he were to do it, he’d rather do it with you because he got to be a little goofy with it.

And by that I mean him getting a little affectionate and pinching your backside and you snacking his bicep and scolding him for being inappropriate in the frozen food section.

‘I’m not doing anything chipmunk.’ He’d defend himself as you glare him.

‘I’m sure as shit there isn’t a perverted ghost here that pinches people’s backsides for fun. Now pack it in.’ You hissed as you rubbed your ass in hopes of soothing the sharp pain you felt seconds ago.

‘Sorry sweetheart.’ He’d chuckle as he kisses your cheek in apology.

You couldn’t help but smile as you could never truly stay mad at your sweet Jason, not unless he was staining your carpets with blood from a night out on patrol, but that was neither here nor there.

Other than that Jason would take the trolley from your hand and storm the store with a determination to get the fuck out as fast as possible.

His long ass strides tend to leave you behind in some random isle somewhere. So to combat this from being a reoccurring thing, Jason would just grabs your hand and puts on the trolley before putting his own on top; Now you were being dragged instead of getting left behind in somewhere with people blocking the fucking isle.

How sweet of him.

(If you’re one of these ppl, go fuck yourself bc what the fuck is so interesting that you have to block the ENTIRE FUCKING ISLE? MOVE!)

Speaking of people blocking the isle, it’s Jason’s biggest pet peeve because WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY TAKING SO MUCH FUCKING SPACE?! FUCKING MOVE YOU LAZY BASTARDS!

He will fucking glare at anyone who even dares to lean over his trolley to get something and when you tell him about how obvious he was being, he’d only response to this was: ‘they’re privileged with the use of a voice, they should fucking use it sometime.’

You’re basically there to calm him down before he bulldozes some poor bastard by guiding him to a lesser crowed isle and get some junk food for later as a reward, followed by your magical cuddles and kisses.

Jason hates shopping but with you it was made just that little bit enduring, only a little bit…he still wants to fight the young couple who wouldn’t fucking move in that one isle and honestly you don’t blame him as you would gladly join him.

any tips for writing c!punz? I'm losing my mind out here

I'm gonna start by referring you to some posts that might be helpful:

elm on c!Punz as a very emotional character

my thoughts on c!Punz's self concept

aidan on c!Punz as an enabler

c!Punz is great at putting on a chill, laid-back demeanor, but underneath that he can be very intense, and if you rewatch some of his key plot-heavy streams chronologically, you can very clearly see him becoming more and more intense as the story progresses. Two things I think a lot of ppl tend to either forget or gloss over are 1) he was there almost from the beginning and presumably remembers the golden past that c!Dream so desperately wants to recover; and 2) he was possessed by the Egg, which would've had a pretty big impact on him vis-a-vis how he views his own autonomy and role/involvement in plot events.

In terms of motivation, I think he can be quite tricky to pin down. He claims his motivation is to "live a life without mystery," but that's in the No Way Home stream when he's angrily berating c!Tommy, and personally I don't see this as a terribly reliable admission. I'm not saying he isn't interested in discovering the secrets of life and death, but if you pay more attention to his actions than his words, I think it's fairly clear that this motivation is second to his desire to help c!Dream. He doesn't just want answers, he wants to help c!Dream get answers. What this tells us is that, in a complete reversal of his "money-motivated hired goon" facade, Punz is actually very discerning when it comes to who he's willing to pursue long-term projects alongside. Will he work FOR anyone? Perhaps (he certainly wants you to think so.) Will he work WITH anyone? Hell no.

Another thing I find really interesting is his relationship with Sapnap and how it informs his relationship with Dream. The two of them have been on opposing sides of various conflicts at various points, but Sapnap seems to continue to see Punz as a friend throughout the story, and Punz plays along even after the staged finale. He helps Sapnap and Karl plan their wedding, Sapnap even says he wants Punz to be a groomsman! The two of them are so interesting in relation to Dream, it's a really under-explored dynamic imo! Former brothers-in-arms vs current brothers-in-arms. I think you could definitely argue that, post-prison, Punz is trying to be Dream's replacement for Sapnap in all ways except one: he isn't going to tell Dream no. He's the yes man Sapnap couldn't be.

Also, I think it's important to remember who he was and what sort of stuff he was up to prior to his involvement in the major plot points. He was a beekeeper! He liked giving gifts, and still does! His sense of humor is goofy and sometimes pretty immature, just like c!Dream's. He wants to be respected by the people he respects. He takes good care of his things. In short, assistant manager at the necromancy store isn't his only occupation.

(Lmk if you want clips for any of these points btw! I’ve done a lot of generalizing in this post but I’m happy to find clips if that’s helpful for you.)

#wanna add that c!punz was also around for a lot of the El Rapids stuff #which imo is...relevant later :))#asks #c!punz #c!dream #c!stagedduo

Your SpongeBob yandere headacanons has inspired into getting more yandere stuff and saw some ppl posting their headcanon so I wanted to post mine that are abt plankton

•I see plankton as kind of an manipulative yandere, he treats his darling like how he treats the secret formula in a way where he just constantly thinks about them, sometimes they just ignore what anyone is saying to him just to think about how he’ll win his darling’s heart with some kind of ridiculous

•And the darling would be kind of aware of this since plankton doesn’t exactly hide it.. uncomfortably aware of it

•plankton indulges in a whole lot of stalking, he mainly stalks them from the restraunt’s massive telescope or some kind of weird robot that has a camera in it, he just has the weirdest ways to make sure he can pay attention to his darling

•I think the darling probably has a lot of friends and plankton would be super jealous easily considering his hate for other people (or other fishes I guess?) and would constantly complain about them either to himself or to Karen, he usually complains about one of their friends not actually being good enough for their darling and how they don’t rlly need them all that much

•It’s kind of gone to a point where the darling hides in the krusty krab a lot since the krusty crew usually protects them especially SpongeBob and Mr krabs, which plankton isn’t exactly pleased about and sees it as krabs trying to steal their love from them considering him and krab’s history together

•I definitely don’t think squidward rlly cares all that much unlike with SpongeBob and krabs who go out of there way to make sure the reader is safe from plankton

•But still he’s very hard to escape from, He always finds a way to see you, and it’s very hard to know if he’s watching you or not, he could be in a cookie or in a Krabby patty or a bug on your shoulder who knows if he wanted to he could make a weird disguise or robot to keep tabs on you and there’s a chance you wouldn’t even know it’s there

•he also does indulge in kidnapping the reader as well, either from their home or from the krusty krab, you could be just casually be eating a krabby patty or sitting at home doing work and then out of nowhere you’re suddenly being kidnapped by a tiny green mad organism and sometimes his computer wife if she feels like actually helping

•he’s definitely a tad delusional honestly, he cannot grasp the idea of his darling not actually liking him or trying to avoid or just generally not fitting his ideal version of them in his head, And just blamed his darling not being around him on Mr krabs or any of the reader’s friends

•I definitely think in instances where plankton’s schemes work in his favor like in the SpongeBob square movie where he does genuinely take over the world he constantly keeps you by his side while being mind controlled by the hats, in-fact you we’re probably the first to be mind controlled, because you can’t exactly say no to his love when you’re being mind controlled

•he also constantly tries to impress his darling a lot mainly by flaunting his plans or showing himself off when he’s doing one of his schemes, tho telling the reader his plans usually doesn’t work out for him very well since the reader ends up telling Mr krabs ahead of time what plankton is planning today

I’m sorry if not a lot of these make a whole lot of sense I get nervous about writing sometimes and I’m mainly trying to improve a lot since English is not my first language, and also sorry for having a word choice like plankton 😭 I just really like the idea of him being a yandere considering his personality

YES! Yandere Plankton finally exists! It is a glorious day, and I thank you!

Attention writers !!!

(Or anyone who uses google docs lol)

So for a while now I’ve been trying to find a new app to use because I literally have so many wips (around 160 JUST for cillian💀) and it gets overwhelming when I’m trying to look and see what I’m in the mood to write. Google drive helps organize them a little bit, but it’s not really enough imo.

So I came across an app called Obsidian. It’s a little tough to figure out honestly, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy. However, my little neurodivergent brain doesn’t like change lmao so I was really hesitant to switch over to that app completely because I like using Google docs for writing (Also Obsidian doesn’t have an underline option??? Lol). BUT I really really liked that you could have folders AND tags. But at the same time, you have to pay to use it across devices so I couldn’t transfer everything on my laptop from docs like I did when I tried using word. And also it did that thing where when you copy and paste from docs into somewhere else, the spacing between paragraphs gets fucked up and as I said before, I have 160+ fics… I’m not fucking going through each one and fixing the spacing😭 So I was about to just accept defeat and keep using docs, but then I literally came up with the best idea in the entire world🤭

TLDR: I don’t like google docs with how many wips I have and I needed an app with better organization than just what google drive offers. I finally found one and figured out a way to have it all organized and easy to find, but still let me write in docs (cause I don’t like change lmao)

Now I’m gonna explain how I use it lol

It has an option for “vaults.” So far I’ve made one for my cillian fics and one for all my c.ai bot stuff. I’m also gonna make one for dc stuff eventually lol but you get the idea

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

In those vaults, you can have folders that the notes go in. Mine are just the characters I write for

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

So what I did was I made the note title whatever the doc was titled, added the tags, and then added the link to the original doc so when I click it, it opens it in the google docs app. (To add the link, open docs and stay on the “home page” don’t go in a specific document. Click the three dots next to the title and then click copy link and that’s it lol)

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Also when you click on “files” above all of the folders, it takes you to this

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Clicking on “tags” shows all of the tags you’ve used and you can click on one to find a fic. So if I’m in the mood to write angst, I’ll click the angst tag and it’ll show me all of my wips that have angst

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

You can also change the appearance to light/dark mode (I made it dark so you could see the contrast of the screen shot on this post but I’m just now realizing that ppl probably have tumblr in dark mode lmao. Whatever) and change the accent color to whatever you want.

You can also rearrange the order of the toolbar (above the keyboard). So I put the ones I use the most (tag, undo, redo, etc) in the front so I don’t have to scroll. You should explore the app too because there are a lot of things you can customize.

Anyway that’s pretty much it. I really recommend this method if you’re someone who has a lot of documents. It takes a while putting the existing docs in, but after that you just have to add them as you create new ones which barely takes any time at all

I think the thing that makes me sometimes "doubt" Byler endgame is how the writers seem to treat Will in the narrative by either making him nonexistent, sidelined and unimportant overall with often minimum screentime. Idk. A lot of ppl tried to explain why it was necessary for him to be sidelined but that resulted in the audience thinking that Byler has no chance of becoming canon and that Will is just a useless background character. Add the monologue moment in S4 and Mike constantly talking about all in S4, how do you explain the duffers will make the narrative fit in what they have showed so far in the show? Most ppl will think Byler came out of nowhere and if Will gets a huge moment regarding fixing/saving the world ppl will think it came out of blue and there was no buildup. It takes really pains to prove Will's importance and Mike's love for Will. And not sure if the writers will manage that.

—so I’ve answered some version of this kind of doubt several times on this blog before, so I’m going to direct you to those posts, so as not to reinvent the wheel:

Will's Taking a Backseat in S3 + Dustin companion piece

The Duffers, Show v Tell, and people missing subtext

The Duffers Aren't Writing "Casual TV"...they're writing for themselves and people like them

Why people assume ST is written poorly (like other shows)

General Audiences, Media Literary, and "Catching" Byler

Why I Don't Understand "Duffer Doubt"

On: "Objective" Byler (and ST) Commentary

The Duffers, the "GA," and how your value system affects how you go about interpreting (or missing things in) media

Mike & Will's 3 season arc (and how it fits in the wider narrative)

On: M&R being "2 Straight White Guys" writing a queer story

+ a cut for more thoughts about how Will really wasn't all that sidelined lmao

That said: if I’m honest, I fundamentally disagree with the premise that the duffers somehow need to “make the narrative of Will fit into s5,” as though he hasn’t been integral to the Hawkins connection to the UD since literally day one.

That, combined with the fact that he was barely even in season one outside of flashbacks (and yet still managed to carry all of S2) + hasn’t really been sidelined at all if you know how to read emotional beats and not just “action” ones? Like, sure, him not being front and center was true in S3, but given that he is the center of all of Mike’s emotional decisions across all of S4 and is now quite literally holding the “main relationship” (which it’s not, but we’ll let that go) together…saying he’s not central to what’s to come given his active connection to El, Mike, every single Byers, the rest of the Party and now Henry/Vecna as we file back into Hawkins is insane.

IMO, the real problem (and at the risk of sounding like every byler critic on the internet) is that the show is made of an ensemble cast who have all had their rounds in the spotlight over the seasons…which means that Will is not going to always be at the fore front of the action, because this is not The Will Show and not every season is written with his story as its primary narrative core. That said, if you are paying attention to the emotional and even supernatural beats of the show, you can clearly see where they’ve set Will up to hold an important and even critical role in the final season—

—especially given that characters like Henry and Vecna didn’t even technically exist 2 seasons ago, and yet now hold primary weight in the story and in the minds of this “general audience” people love acting like matter most to the Duffers (even tho they have repeatedly said they don’t lmao).

I personally do not give a damn about what “the GA” thinks is possible given that half of them were mad when Will was central to the story in S2 (the 'S2 was my least favorite season / the season I don't watch much of people) and half of them couldn’t even tell he was gay, despite being plain as day to anyone who doesn’t need every single beat of the story spelled out for them….and that the duffers literally and repeatedly make fun of people for doing I throughout the show.

All that said...I respect your right to doubt, but…of all the things I could doubt The Duffers being able to pull off in the minds of this nebulous “GA” everyone thinks is so stupid they haven't picked up on any subtext or plain narrative (which I could make a strong case they aren't...which is why they pitch such a bitch lmao), making Will central to the 5th season after all the pains they’ve taken to flesh out both his connection to the UD and his romantic feelings/sexuality is not one of them.

It's not as nearly "blindsiding" as people seem to think it is—because the second you stop thinking everyone is heteronormative, you realize a lot of people who just aren't as loud as the naysayers on the internet see it plain as day.

#finally getting to the marathon of asks in my inbox lmao #that said... I'm not sure how many more asks like this I'm gonna answer tbh #I don't know how many ways I can say the same thing like #its giving someone trying to evangelize a person who has made up their mind not to believe LMFAO I'm not gonna convince you #not if you're not open to being convinced...or want to tunnel in on your doubts to protect yourself #I can't reinvent the wheel lmao #asks

Hi Mar!! I really wanna start writing Marauders fics, specifically about the Valkyries. I have soooo many ideas that I’m really excited about, but this fandom seems really volatile. Do you have any advice on how to keep my sanity lol. I’m really doing it to foster more community with ppl who have similar interests in me.

Bonjour!

So this is so very interesting and valid. I have a lot to say.

My experience with Marauders has been the best and the worst so far. I was in Naruto, then Star Stars, currently diving into Attack on Titans, and nothing has come close to the Marauders in terms of insanity, BUT.

I have met some of the best people on here, I can say with 100% certainty that I made at least 15 really good friends, who will remain good friends whether we stay in fandom or not.

But I personally have gotten basically no hate. I'm a relatively small writer, I fly under the radar mostly, even TikTok is very tame. Basically, I'm cruising. Vibing, having an all-around great time, good for me.

Then I have my friends, who are my real friends in real life and in fandom, who are "popular", and some of them have gotten some vile, vile vile things said to them. I have seen some shit and heard some stuff that frankly should never see the light of day, especially not aimed at a 20-something-year-old human. And they don't have a PR team, aren't getting paid for this shit, and that truly breaks my heart. Because it's a few, but a few is often enough to ruin the positive fandom experience. And then people wonder why artists and authors move from Marauders...

So experiences vary a lot, and the truth is maybe for no fucking reason your work will pop off and you'll be thrust into the limelight and you best hope you have thick skin because some people are assholes.

Or you'll be like me (so far) and just vibe and have a great time.

I think the best advice I can give is to write for yourself and your friends.

I started writing because I wanted to, and then a few people started liking what I did, and now I have a small community of friends and writers and artists and we all hype each other up and that's literally all I ever wanted. I write what I want because I want. I follow the people I want. I read the stories I want. I don't pay attention to hits or "what's popular" and "what I should read." I'll read what I damn well please.

I do pay attention to comments because to anyone who's ever commented, I read it and I get a straight shot of serotonin and I'm so appreciative.

Fuck, I have some really good writer friends whose stories I haven't read.

I think as long as you're careful, you curate your experience, grab a few people on the way who you like, don't pay attention to fame, then you should be fine.

I think HP fandom's issue is that you have fans that have digested the work, we don't really care ("you do you" kind of vibe), we just have a good time. Then there are some that have just arrived and whose experience with social media and "consumption" of "content" is (I'm sorry) wrong. Requesting and asking and demanding shit they aren't entitled to.

Deciding what's right and what's wrong and what's acceptable.

And panicking when someone they follow doesn't follow the script they've written for them in their head, so when you say one thing that doesn't check their box they have this weird "god falling off the pedestal" they put you on, and they decide to drag you down for it.

You just don't know.

BUT. The odds of you becoming insanely popular are quite frankly super low, there are a few freak incidents but generally most of the fandom I'd say is pretty healthy, we just don't see it as much because what always comes out is the bad stuff. Stick to these pockets of happy. Don't engage in drama. Ignore the idiots.

That was unnecessarily long.

Basically, my love, go write your Valkyries. Pop off, write the story YOU want to write, and the people who will find it and like it will let you know. Find out who they are (in a non-creepy way, just respond to their comment, see if they've written something, and have a looksie). Be cool about it. Chat. See if you've got stuff in common. And then kidnap them and force them to become your friends.

Or be super creepy like I was with @greenvlvetcouch 😵‍💫 I wanted to become their friends and wrote them a fic. Then I sent it on Tumblr and said "Here you go" and now we're friends. (Note: Results may vary, and had Green not responded, I would have LET IT GO. Not everyone is meant to be friends and that is ALSO fine.)

Or for @imdamagecontrol my group chat and I were reading Titanic AU and we were all panicking about who was gonna die, and I sent her some screenshots of our panic through instagram and long story short now we're also friends. (Note: Results may vary, and had Syd not responded, I would have LET IT GO. Not everyone is meant to be friends and that is ALSO fine.)

So like... SHOOT YOUR SHOT but don't expect anything from it. Some people don't want to be your friend. Some people have enough friends. Take it with grace.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

currently laying in bed sick and figured i’d get some things off my chest

being on tumblr and interacting w ppl on here is strange bc 2023 was the roughest year of my entire life, like no joke. irl and online, i’ve been forced to stay quiet, hidden, and endure being burnt from every possible angle. i’ve gotten out of one toxic cycle barely by the skin of my teeth and the second chance of life i was given would be a wasted if i didn’t change the way i live and think.

this blog used to be a safe haven for me, a place where i could share my writing (which is something I wanted to get back into since falling out of it for years.) i had a huge medical accident, and never got treated properly for it because I couldn’t afford to see a doctor (financial abuse woo!! 😀) and was gaslight to believe certain things weren’t as they seemed, so my health was pushed to the back burner and i had to press on for someone who never even loved me. now that i’m away from that situation, i’ve been trying to not put pressure on myself to write and upload. i see writing as a whole an art and the things i want to create cannot be rushed or mass produced, which is what a lot of younger people are used to and why they’re so rude and demanding requests, why they don’t read rules or respect boundaries, why they say out of pocket shit because they’re used to commenting on their fav creator/celebs pics without repercussions. writers aren’t influencers or content creators — we’re people who do what we love for free. no creators programs to pay us and gives us platforms, no sponsorships, some of us don’t even get tips. when i see mutuals leave certain fandom spaces because of hate, it genuinely makes me sad.

on top of abuse irl, i’ve been getting abused on here as well. internet harassment hardly constitutes as “bullying” in the eyes of some but not to me. this is an especially hard topic for me to talk about, and i can hardly be vague about it because it will kick up a bunch more shit. but if want see the change, i have to speak up. if i want to be comfortable, i first have to get used to be uncomfortable. I never said anything until now, because it’s been dragged out long enough. they’re younger than me and are clearly suffering psychological issues. i for real don’t want them to be hurt. but it’s hard to not notice what they’re doing when they’re doing it. they keep tabs on everything i say and people i talk to, make blogs and remake blogs when I block them. i don’t have definite proof of this part in particular, but i suspect they go around and tell stories about me which makes sense as to why mutuals i’ve made will block/unfollow me out of the blue. (anyone can block who they want for whatever reason they want, but the pattern is there and it’s strange.) i’m sure they’ll try to take this post and create an issue, victimize themselves and change the narrative, but I don’t care anymore. i mentioned no names and i said what i said.

i want my blog back. i want to write my silly fics and stories. i want to be able to support people unapologetically and see all the self ships, say what i want to say and post what i want to post and show ppl that love is everything and there’s no place for hate in 2024. i’ve always been outspoken and called bullshit when i smelled it, and have said whatever has come to my mind. so if there’s anything I’ve ever said that may have offended someone in anyway, i actually truly am sorry and will 100% say it to your face if need be. its easy for me to troll real trolls, and stick up for other people who have a hard time defending themselves. i need to learn how to do the same for myself, and relearn how to take care of myself. i feel more comfortable doing that one step at a time.

#totally don’t have to read this btw #im just venting fr #text post #i’ve written this so many times but never uploaded it

Hi! So, question about Bart.( This will kind of disregard canon since I haven’t watched the show in forever, sorry in advance). What do you think about Bart’s opinion on death and killing? Like, do you think he might have killed reach soldiers before? Or, like, could have helped someone, but didn’t because of his own need to survive? I belief he would always help as much as possible but...

what about criminals?? What if, say, they are dealing with a bunch of human traffickers, and they say stuff that reminds him so much about his childhood! Like, he doesn’t get pleasure out of killing. But maybe he sees it in a strategic light? “ if I end this now, they won’t ever hurt anyone the way I was hurt. They would just pay their way out of prison..”

I just want to see a moment where his good heart + morals (taught by his family and other heroes) clash with his apathetic mindset from living in an apocalyptic world were humans are at their lowest. Plus, he’s smart enough (and fast enough) to make it look like an accident....

u’ve always got the most amazing questions which i’m so grateful for omg <333 thank you for the ask 🙏❤️

so first on bart’s opinion on death and killing /killed reach soldiers / or whether to help ppl at risk of his own survival :

very interesting scenarios that u’ve outlined !!! especially since yes i have SO MANY HCs about this 😭 some of which I plan to refer to in a Owen + Bart centric fic connecting to allusions of Barts past that i’ve hinted at in AAIT, so i won’t go into detail about those. But i’ll give an overall answer of the HCs that i have ! I do think he’s killed people like reach soldiers and that he hasn’t thought twice about it because it’s a natural kill or be killed scenario for him and the ppl of his time. I think he would be significantly more impacted by not being able to help ppl that he could’ve “possibly” helped but couldn’t/didn’t. I agree that he’s got that somewhat natural heroic tendency to him of wanting to help where he can so if he’s prevented from doing that, he would feel responsible and devastated by it. I think death and killing is such a prominent occurrence in his time that as typically establishes by most he’s been pretty desensitised to it, so even if he would feel sad or bad about something, i think he’s capable of moving on from it fairly easily that it doesn’t affect him to the point of say how the deaths have affected Gar in the show. As a very vague spoiler to my HCs that i plan to write about, everyone he’s killed isnt solely restricted to reach soldiers. Regardless of different HCs of anyone, i think it’s unavoidable to consider that bart has had at least a very strong exposure to death and killing, resulting in his desensitisation, which i would say is what we can assume from canon.

in terms of how his morality plays in and how this relates to things like criminals or ppl that remind him of his past like human traffickers: i think the biggest indicator of his character to answer ur question is that he befriended Jaime of all things, rather than just straight up try to kill him 😂 Like u said, it would be incredibly easy for him to just do it, so if he didn’t kill the guy who practically brought on the Reach apocalypse, the literal main reason why he’s in the present in the first place, then I really don’t see him being “triggered” in any sense to kill any criminal that they might encounter just for the sake of stopping criminality. Now i’m terms of in the moment survival where there’s quite literally no other choice, i don’t think it would be much of a dilemma for him at all in comparison to other heroes. But for the sake of “vigilantism” where it’s to get rid of crime, i don’t really see him being motivated to kill people. He seems to have a heroic morality to him where it’s more about helping people as much as possible rather than just stopping crime, which is why in the previous example of not being able to help someone i think he would be much more devastated than i’d he just killed someone for say in the moment self defence for either him or others.

good heart + morals + clashing with his post apocalyptic apathy: i understand i would LOVE to see that !! it can lead to incredibly interesting situations. i do think though that this can come around in other ways that we might not traditionally think of/expect. like i mentioned, i do see him as someone with an inherent heroic morality of helping people to him, and i don’t think that’s something that would ever come into any significant question for him (because of the blue beetle example). But that doesn’t mean i don’t think of him as without moral ambiguity/greyness, which i think he has plenty of in terms of his worldview and how he is as a person. I think a decent example is the fact that he literally hung out with his grandfathers murderer who helped him with his biggest and arguably most important mission ever. Whether bart agreed to his company out of it just happening or no other choice is something else, but he clearly had no problem being with the guy and even making snide remarks calling him “neutron” which nathaniel is probably traumatised by 😂 Growing up in his post apocalyptic world bart clearly has no qualms about stealing things, like at all. I think moral ambiguity would manifest in just how he is as a person, which can be (mis)interpreted as someone just being from a different time rather than having different moral principles. I think the fact that he’s seemingly addicted (this is more of a HC ig but based on my interpretation of him from the show 😭) to just always being there to help people out, he had no problem literally just abandoning everyone he knows to join the Legion with their mission (which is insane to me lmfao) and maybe, he can be a bit cold like that. In that one scene where the Outsiders lose track of where Vic went, and Jaime was almost killed by the X-pit and as bart said “Gar got his butt kicked” he seemed pretty upset at the notion of “losing” on a mission, like it’s something he doesn’t even want to consider. I think he takes personal failures quite seriously (Mt Justice, Wally), not to the extent that it’s debilitating, but it definitely plays on his mind to a point that I can see him get pissed at himself if anything.

Basically, i see his moral greyness and apathy manifesting in a type of aloof coldness of things socially, where he can seem maybe a bit inconvenienced by morals that are standard of the people around him, and in terms of a very drastic desensitisation of things like death and killing, and in terms of overall morality like theft/doing things for the sake of survival/the mission, but not without having to abandon his core moral of just helping people out. I HC that maybe he might struggle a little with some notions of empathy that he probably had to work towards by just being in the present, and that his sense of morality is maybe almost always mission based where he just wants to get things done, rather than out of a more humanitarian POV.

hope my essay can get some of my points across to answer ur ask 😅 and thank u again for such an incredibly interesting question !!

Devilish - Ch. III

-- I've come to the point where I no longer have pre written chapters and my brain has chosen to fail me-

Warnings below; - This is a demon!Ateez x angel!reader (not for long however) so there is talk of religion. As an atheist I really don't refer to 'God' or Jesus but I do not mean any harm for religion. In this writing I do, however, use real religious names, that being said, this is purely fiction! - Also for confusion purposes, I do cut back and forth from present to future. If you see '~' that is currently what is happening, so be aware! - Brief description of injury/violence

(This entire thing might just go unedited but it's nice to warn ppl)

1.2k

Prologue >>prev.>> | >>next.>>

--

How has fate put me here? The burning of your wings, screams of demons below you, and Ye’un's hand grasping yours kept you present. Anyone could see the pure white feathers in the sky if they were paying attention. From the war below, no one dared to glance in your direction. Or that was the plan. The gates to exit this dark region quickly came into view. This time relief didn’t fuel you, and it wouldn’t until you sat in the comfort of your own home. Instead came an urge to fly faster, but that ability had been taken from you the second your left wing crumpled. Ye’un stumbled to catch you, succeeding, now allowing you to process what happened. Glancing over, an arrow had pierced through your wing. There was a dull ache present, but you couldn’t let that stop you as adrenaline rushed through your veins.

~

Mingi led me to the seat in the middle of the room. Seven pairs of eyes watching me as I reluctantly sat in the chair. It was comfortable, the most comfortable I’ve felt my entire time being here. My mind temporarily forgets the weird moment I shared with the king himself.

“Well first off, we’re going to introduce ourselves to you. I know you have your knowledge on us, but you definitely don’t know us. Except for Mingi and myself I would assume,” The king spoke, his voice now calmed yet still proper. Voices erupted with unique tones and names being spoken, soon stopping just as the king raised his hand. Which led my eyes to an empty throne significantly closer to the king's than the others were. It stood empty, no color glowing in its crevices.

“You don’t have to address me as the king of course, you’re a special guest now. I do have to give my sincerest apologies for the way you were dragged here,” The tone of his voice caused confusion to wrap my brain like moss infecting a tree. His voice carried a sweet sympathy.

‘He’s leading me to a false sense of security,’ Your thoughts unknowingly on display for the men surrounding you.

“Now, call me Hongjoong, the others will introduce themselves. Which by that means go in order,” The last of his sentence directed towards his council. Out of the corner of my vision, a bright red hue caught my eye. One of them had made their way over to me fairly quickly, just to reach out and throw an arm over my shoulder. My body tensed in fear.

“My name is Wooyoung, it’s a shame I wasn’t there to meet you first. I’m definitely the best one to get along with,” A loud groan echoed in the room after his last words.

“Simmer it down, pride,” Mingi stated, his figure slumped into his throne unlike the others. My inner thoughts clicked at the name of another sin. His eccentric personality makes more sense as time passes with the realization. Wooyoung and Mingi had a petty argument as I looked over the sin of pride. The bright red was mesmerizing, as were his horns. Different from Mingi’s as they were a twisted type, yet had the same effect where purple and black clashed in the middle. I turned to the demon king, whose eyes shut, clear his annoyance was sprouting.

With his attention elsewhere I could also take in his appearance without fear. Unsurprisingly, I saw black hair yet no horns protruding from his head. My thoughts were quickly reversed as a set of regal horns grew through his skin. Once at their full height, the shadows of gray adorned the bottom meeting with black as Mingi and Wooyoung’s had.

“Enough you two, our promise was to not scare her and you aren’t helping on my end,” The two quickly stopped bickering and Wooyoung took his place back at his throne. Another man with half horns stood up, stunning yellow shadowed them, complimenting the pitch black locks.

“My name is San darling,” He said, walking over to kneel in front of me. His icy grasp of my hand startled me, “pleasure to meet you.” He finished placing a light kiss on my hand, a smirk adorned his face. A rough clear of a throat pulled him away. The smirk now lost in a look of annoyance.

“Of course the king of greed would ruin it for all of us,” My head turned towards the voice, eyes meeting an icy blue set of orbs glazed with an unrecognizable expression. His hair was white as snow, his head adorned with horns of liberty, not forgetting the same dust of dark blue growing with them. He spoke when someone bolted into the room, a demon in the same attire as those who held me hostage moments ago.

“Dagon is making advances again, he’s heard about your special guests,” The man stated roughly, a glare on me. My head turned back over to their leader, as he quickly lifted from his seat.

“Do not speak ill of her,” He stated darkly, “Mingi and Yunho, take her back to the room. The rest of us will handle Dagon,” Hongjoong finished, as they all stood their cloaks fell revealing the same scaled wings. What I didn’t expect was for everyone, except the two left with me, to bolt off the ground towards the ceiling in this room. It was then I noticed the opening in the roof, my wings ruffled at the idea of escaping.

“Sorry dear, but I wouldn’t think about it,” One of them spoke, realizing it wasn’t one I knew yet. His hair was a chestnut color, yet I couldn’t help but notice the peculiar hint of blonde in the middle of his locks. Hair almost covered the half horns adorned with orange flicks at the bottom. A hand coming in contact with my shoulder pulled me out of my observation. They quickly placed me back in the room with Ye’un, much to my relief.

~

“Your reign has no appeal to me, especially since it’s come to my attention you’re nothing like your former occupant,” The man said. His eyes taunting the king that stood just steps away from him.

“That’s quite insulting sir,” A quote from one of the seven looming behind their majesty. The man had a prince like stature to him, long black hair draped over his horns. Green licked up the black objects like flames. Just under those, his head held a dark silvered crown with a beautiful emerald held in the middle.

“Quite well spoken for the sin of envy,” His voice was now laced with disrespect to the eight divines.

“With or without Azazel the heavens will fall by my hand,” The man stated, his once fiery orange eyes now engulfed by a black abyss.

“The prophecy calls for peace and we’ll abide by that as long as they do the same,” Seonghwa, the sin of lust, spoke. His white hair contrasted with the black and white rubies littering his own crown.

“My apologies Dagon, but my respect for them will not falter. So you will do no such thing,” Hongjoong spoke, a glare slowly situating on his face.

“Our future queen will not be an angel fallen from heaven, prophecy or not,”

Listen- anyone can like what they like, of course. But I do worry about your post about the author using race as part of her world building. Yes, I’m sure it likely is somewhat cringe or imperfect, but I’m extremely ambivalent about people acting like a white person writing other races or about fantasy racism is per se bad. I actually want all media to be more diverse, and I accept that the corollary of that is that some media will be simplistic or imperfect. But that’s the price we pay so not every goddamn fantasy novel is only white people. Critique it if you want, but I hope you interact with the concept and the artist in good faith.

sooooo... ok ok ok lemme get this straight.

on my blog fandomshatepeopleofcolor you want me a woc to "interact with the concept and the artist in good faith?"

despite the fact that I DIDN'T TAG HER NAME, MESSAGE HER, COMMENT ON HER VIDEO OR EVEN LIKE CUSS HER OUT FOR APPROPRIATING THE VERY REAL TRAUMA OF RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS FOR HER "WORLDBUILDING".

Like ok ok ok you don't know anything about her book. you don't know if she's making actual indigenous ppl the ones going to residential schools. you don't know if they're white?!?!?!

Pray tell me how you reacted to the whole pearl/coal novel concept? (the name of the novel escapes me) did you demand that she be treated with kid gloves too? I bet you did because you believe that white women should be protected from their racism.

EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE DIVERSE BOOKS OUT THERE THAT ALREADY TACKLE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BLACK FANTASY WRITERS LIKE NK JEMISIN.

Like don't get me wrong dragons are cool but pls pls PLS do your research on this phenomena of white writers using actual racist practices in their worldbuilding to oppress white characters.

Like the Handmaids tale for one. margaret even admits that she took things that had actually happened in history to imagine her dystopia. like what she didn't mention is that the women being oppressed and used as broodmares in the book were white tho.

ugh i'm just ok so angry at you right now. if you whites don't stop tone policing me i'm gonna turn off anon.

mhm I totally get what you mean. and like, (and this is just my personal feelings so no not speaking for anyone else) I’ve kind of let go of interaction worries just because it personally was stressing me out. but that doesn’t mean everyone else can do that or that it’s easy for other people, this is just my experience. like i absolutely understand what you mean bc I can’t believe ppl like the chan gfx I made I didn’t go into it with any expectations but I know I would’ve worried about it being good a bit too if no one had seen it at all. nowadays it’s just super hard with algos but I’m holding a place for things to get easier (idk how but) I wanna be hopeful maybe that sound silly to some tho. I used to feel that way about my writing too, like I want ppl to see how cool it is so it’s hard when you share it and see that other ppl didn’t feel the same and left a pretty lifeless like on it with nothing else. I don’t think I’m making much sense but I hope this may be able to come across somehow.

It's funny because as a Streamer I had to do the exact same. I'm on the smaller side of streamers and our viewer numbers fluctuate like no one's business, you have to learn to not pay too much attention too it because you should stream to 3 people like you would to 300 people. You just need to be 'on' and so you learn that numbers don't mean a thing and they shouldn't matter.

I WISH I could apply that to my art, but I guess more of me in a way goes into my art? So maybe that (with a sprinkle of artistic trauma) is why I find it so much more difficult to do it as an artist. I go into painting my pieces without expectations of interactions, ever. I paint them for me first and foremost - what has really truly only kicked off this "does no one like it" is one of Elon Fuckfaces updates to Twitter which shows you (and everyone else) how many people have SEEN your post vs. interactions with it and oh fucking hell that fucks you over so much, cause now it's easier to compare interactions to your peers (and even if they may have more followers than you, it still hits harder)

You are making perfect sense! Likes are extremely disheartening on this platform too when you learn how empty they are in terms of helping boost your work (tho they are appreciated, thank you! Just... It's a reblogging website, innit??)

if the vampire academy show gets multiple seasons, i really hope it changes the direction of the rose/adrian relationship bc i can’t think of any good reason to write a show where a black woman is villainized and used as a plot device for her white oppressor's manpain. regardless of your personal feelings on rose or adrian, the concept of a narrative where the black heroine is put in a bad position at the end of her own story to set up more angst for her white ex-boyfriend is a bad choice, for both meta and story reasons.

wrt meta reasons why keeping things the same as spirit bound/last sacrifice is a bad idea, following the books faithfully would prob open the door to a lot of fandom antiblackness and sexism against rose as a character and sisi as an actor. rose is already an overhated character in book fandom and reviews bc of the rosdrian subplot, with many of the same people who don’t see an issue with adrian’s sexually harassing or objectifying rose calling rose an abuser, manipulator, gold-digger and a mix of sexist and racist slurs for not returning adrian’s feelings and/or for not being loyal to him. ofc this isn’t behavior that’s unique to adrian fandom bc all fandoms have sexism/racism problems, and i’m def not saying all adrian fans are anti-rose or that anyone is bad in any way for liking adrian. imo you can love/appreciate adrian as a character and still see that the va show is better off avoiding the books’ take on the rosdrian subplot. black characters- esp black women- always get more flack from fandom and their choices are judged more harshly, rose/sisi is already getting a lot of hate from racists who hate the show reality that rose hathaway is a black woman, and there’s no need to stoke the misogynoir flames even more by making rose “at fault” for how her dynamic with adrian plays out.

the show could write any number of new subplots where (assuming the show wants to keep the canon endgames intact):

(if adrian’s behavior is changed) adrian has unrequited feelings for rose for a while but they don’t actually date, he takes no for an answer after some flirting and his romance shifts to adrian/sydney once sydney takes a more active role in the plot

(if adrian’s behavior is changed) rosdrian date, but they do it in a casual, no-strings-attached way where they break up at some point before they get together with their endgames. there are no hard feelings between them

(if adrian’s behavior stays the same) rosdrian’s trajectory stays mostly the same but the breakup is abt rose getting some catharsis calling adrian out for objectifying her, which could kickstart adrian’s redemption arc. this option would prob be closest to canon, but rose gets a mini-arc that culminates in her standing up for herself against a royal who disrespected her and adrian realizes he needs to start acting better with women who are lower than him on the moroi social hierarchy, which would pay forward with adrian/sydney

this is just me floating a few options and i’d love to hear other ppl’s suggestions wrt how this subplot could go if y’all have any. but the most important point is: no matter what happens or how adrian is written, rose shouldn’t cheat on adrian and shouldn’t be written like the breakup is her fault, like she’s responsible for adrian’s feelings, or like she "owes” adrian a chance at any point. even if adrian is written like a legit nice guy and doesn’t coerce rose in the show, the main issue with the cheating plot is richelle m using rose as an “ex who broke his heart” plot device to give adrian more tragic backstory in a spinoff, without giving rose any of the detailed catharsis, recovery and healing she wrote for adrian in that new series. the va show, like the main series, is rose’s story, and it needs to stay rose’s story without sacrificing her character development or marring her hea so it can contrive more angst for a white supporting character.

#vampire academy #rose hathaway #tweeted something similar to this but posting slightly expanded thoughts here bc twitter is horrible for archiving and referencing things #anti adrian ivashkov #for posterity bc stuff like rose calling adrian out for harassing her is canon but ik ppl don't like to see that stuff #i don't think it's technically an anti adrian take to suggest the sexist narrative bias from the books should change #or to talk abt his canon actions even if they happen to be the shadier ones #but yk better safe than sorry #last sacrifice spoilers #vampire academy spoilers #tw fandom racism mention #tw fandom sexism mention #i might type another post later wrt the story reasons for why this ending was a bad idea #and did a disservice to both rose and adrian's arcs #but that's a post for another time

Ok hi I just started this blog because of my brainrot. The brainrot isn’t new or anything but it’s reached a point tonight that I just can’t stop thinking about something. I’m so sorry if this post is too much™️ there’s a lot happening in my brain space. Essentially I have an Eddie and kind of Steve (and technically other people) x reader idea and I don’t know if I should post it. It’s incredibly self indulgent. But… I CANT STOP THINKING. But also I’m NOT a good writer. I do not write publicly ever, only ever wrote ideas in the notes app kinda shit. Im just not good at it, obviously. It’s like I don’t have the words or enough substance but 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyway.

I read a n.s.f.w steddie thread on Twitter earlier (minors pls go away now)

*****oh boy I uh… never finalized this and i lost my zing for it but like it still exists in my notes app somewhere I just don’t know if ppl like Y/N content and poor writing*****

about Eddie spying on the locker room and getting found and subsequently “used” (consenting) by the whole team including Steve aaaaand. While I love steddie. My brain is also a depraved x reader space. And I am mostly female presenting so my brain said this but different. And then I went way different. It held the same energy buuuut. Right so please tell me if anyone else is interested in this? Here’s the idea…

Basically reader is in need of money for like medical bills or whatever, small town jobs aren’t exactly cutting it but there’s an opportunity to make more, by means of a (mostly) anonymous free use glory hole kind of sex club a couple nights a week. It’s not always her there but on this particular night it is.

The patrons don’t know who’s working and the workers don’t know who’s using them. the aspects that aren’t that anonymous is the employers know who’s working. And basically the people who are attending, even if they’re using fake names, they’re all in one room getting off… it’s not hard to recognize someone just outside of hawkins. But you wouldn’t necessarily rat someone out for being there because it would out you too. There’s not a TON of people going or working but it’s enough to pay some bills.

So Steve, who’s on a dry spell from getting laid convinces Eddie to go with him and check the place out. It’s kinky and kinda fucked up watching a bunch of people fuck someone in a giant glory hole, just their lower half through a hole in the wall, but they end up enjoying it more than they thought they would. Aaaand if the person they end up fucking sounds a little bit like Eddie’s best friend (the reader, who it very much is) well that’s kinda crazy right? But hot… but it totally couldn’t be her, no way.

Is that… interesting to anyone else because. It sure fuckin is to me idk.

#eddie munson x reader #steve harrington x reader #steddie x reader #kind of #blurb idea #it would be more Eddie focused in the end but #I just don’t know if anyone else would want to read #eddie munson smut #steve harrington smut

How exactly do you know paz de la huerta?

This is a pretty long story but I’m gonna do my best to answer ur question.

So when I was 16, I made a post on instagram in support of Paz. I knew a bit about what was going on with her, mostly about her allegations against Harvey Weinstein and how she was working on her sobriety at the time. As a fan who saw that she was struggling, I wanted to write a bit about her to get the word out and help her get the support she needed. At that time, she had a public instagram account and was selling her art and taking donations so that she could pay for lawyer fees and try to start her career back up. So I directed my followers to her account so they could help if they were compelled to. I was never expecting her to get into contact with me about that post. Her account was deleted and she couldn’t be found anywhere online. I thought about her sometimes and hoped she was doing alright, but i did not know her personally at all. On Christmas 2021, almost 2 years after I made the post, I got a message from someone claiming to be friends with Paz. She said that Paz had seen my post from back then and thought it was very sweet, and that she wanted to invite me to her Telegram group chat. I didn’t know what to think but I figured like “I might as well join, worst case scenario is it’s not her and I leave the chat.”

Once I was in the group chat, I introduced myself and Paz immediately began talking to me. Right from the jump I was like “wait I think this is actually her…” bc I had followed Paz on all her social media since I was 14 and I knew how to spot her typing style and way of speaking. I kept talking to her and the other ppl in the chat and the longer I interacted, the more sure I was that it was really her. She ended up sending a lot of recent pics of herself in that chat, pics that didn’t exist anywhere on the internet. By the time I had been in the gc for about a week, I was certain it was real. After some time passed, me and Paz and everyone else had gotten pretty close. I had learned so much more about what actually had gone down throughout Paz’s life, stuff no one in the general public knew about if they weren’t in contact with her personally. Her story goes so much deeper than Weinstein or drugs. There are people in this world who literally would rather she end up dead than make her way back into the public eye bc of what they’ve done to her and what she knows about them… rich and powerful people who have hurt her in unimaginable ways. Eventually, she shared her private instagram account’s username with me. It was top secret at the time. She didn’t want it shared with anyone. I followed her and she followed me back. It was full of pics and videos and captions that kinda filled in the blanks about what had gone on since she had “disappeared.”

Over time, the telegram group chat died out, instagram became the platform where I keep in contact with her, and slowly but surely, things have gotten better and safer for her. I never stop learning more about her and what she has overcome, and I’m so lucky to call her my friend (although she calls us her “babies” or her “angels”… she wants to create a chosen family environment for everyone who needs that sort of love.) She spends most of her time dealing with lawyers, writing her book, creating all kinds of art, reuniting with old friends and making new friends, and just living her life the way she wants to live it, instead of living it in fear and in hiding. She’s not completely ready to go public, but she is doing interviews and creative projects and letting more fans follow her. She has so much in the works right now, and a lot that she’s already put out in the world recently. I am so proud of her and so glad I answered that dm back in 2021.

Lmk if u have any more questions and I’ll try not to write a full on novel about it LOL ❤️

So I’m kind of mad because I’m a new BTS fan (I rather not identify as Army cos I just don’t think I fit that mentality) and I’m beginning to feel like I missed their best years?? Not only music-wise but personality-wise as well. Does anyone else feel this way? I look at Vlives and interviews from the past and yes they were probably heavily monitored even then but there was also some degree of spontaneity and their individual personalities really shone through. Now I feel like it’s the same repetitive lines from a script every time they are interviewed and even their behavior in vlives (whenever they could be bothered to do one) seems faker and more robotic. Sometimes they manage to show sparks of their old selves but very rarely nowadays. The only person who still comes across as genuine to me in his interactions with fans is jungkook on his intagram stories, and I bet they’re going to stop those too soon enough. Taehyung also tries, bIess his heart, but there still seems to be something lacking. Jimin is my bias but even I can admit that all we see from him of late (the rare times we even see him) is a carefully crafted idol persona. Even when they claim to be “acting so natural! Wow army we’re not acting like celebrities at all!!” It comes across planned and scripted. I feel so sad and robbed. Maybe it’s the price of their increased popularity and scrutiny, maybe it’s unfair of me to want more, but it honestly sucks. Makes it even worse that they seem to be completely out of inspiration (except when making music for other ppl. I see you Suga) and are focused mostly on charting and awards as opposed to art.And they will likely never know how short they are selling themselves because Army will literally empty their bank accounts for a turd with the BTS logo stamped on it. Hybe will never change their strategy if they keep getting validated financially, the boys will never consider re-evaluating or improving their art if ARMY pukes glitter and rainbows at everything they put out regardless of how bad. I have a tiny glimmer of hope because I have seen more fans openly expressing their dissatisfaction about this upcoming comeback than I ever did before, so maybe there will be just enough of a dip in the sales to cause HYBE to step up their game. A more rational part of me knows however that the sales are going to be through the roof and things are only going to get worse for BTS artistically.

Hi Anon,

I can relate to how you're feeling. When I started paying attention to them, there was this brief period where things felt really buzzy and exciting. The Vlives were spontaneous and funny, their fashion was A+ and Dynamite was this one off that no one expected would become their dominant style. When BE came out, even tho I didn't like the music (except maybe Stay which idk is still kind ehn), the entire thing of it felt like a step in the right direction. I looked back at the editorial shoots that Tae organized the other day, and they are really good. Probably the last time they looked that good. 👁👄👁

BH doesn't seem to be a place where individuality creativity and personality is allowed to flourish, warts and all. I add in that last bit because at some other kpop labels, we see a lot more imperfection and individuality. People trying things and reflecting on it, success or failure. You also see more genuine interactions between artists. Men working with women, people having disagreements or arguments then resolving them. People trolling one another, lol. With BH brands, because I do sense this with TXT too, unfortunately, things feel neutered to a degree. Though watching TXT be bratty en masse is rather something LOL. The company culture is different at BH/Hybe, and it does feel like even BTS are still tip-toeing. They're in their 9th year now. In SHINee's 7th year (I hope I'm mathing right, lol), they signed a contract that gave them huge freedom and last approval above the board. Jonghyun and the others had been writing songs for a while, but with ODD etc, things became that much more artistic and "shinee". For whatever reason, I still don't see this happening with BTS. Instead, things are becoming well... whatever Butter, PTD and collabs are. Top 40 Billboard pop.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ( gimme five. from not via )

omg hi not via im ur biggest fan, ,, these are just for u tho u better be sleeping <333

this isnt something ive seen a whole lot as of a late but sometimes its very easy to see when ppl dont consider others on here like, , , Real Actual people and thats !! strange!! just bc u met someone on the internet and they are not Face to Face with you doesn’t mean u can just treat them how u please bc there arent like “real life” repercussions for u

kind of going off that but it can be really exhausting to always be reaching out to people only to get limited or cut off responses that just make it feel like someone is Uninterested . like i can be guilty of this!! 100% i am not going to sit here and say that i haven’t been on the other end of things and im trying to get better about it too!! but when ur constantly the person messaging someone to talk or check in or plot or Whatever, ur gonna get tired and like do that less and less and it’s really disheartening! like again, we all have lots of other stuff going on, im not saying u need to make urself available to someone when u dont have the time or mental capacity, but just one message here and there can make a difference, fuck knows im depressed as shit and have my moments of isolation too, its just hard if u feel like ur the only one making an effort

idk if this is unpopular or anything but i find it a lot easier to like,, write with ppl if im like,,, friends or just friendly with someone? i totally understand that not everyone here is looking for Friends or anything, sometimes ur just here to write and that’s fine and i’m like, not going to Not write with you bc ur not talking to me ooc all the time, but idk, it’s just nice to learn about y’all outside of ur muses and ur writing and it makes me a tiny bit more ,, comfortable? to approach ur writing and stuff?

cliques are annoying, they can be offputting, but people writing more with their friends than with ppl they dont know isnt always a bad thing kjfdngfdgf i like to branch out and meet new people but i also have people that im just generally more comfortable with and that replies come to more easily for that! i promise im not here to make anyone feel left out, we’re all like,, mostly mentally ill and sometimes u gotta curate that space

darby already kind of said this but the way ppl pay female ocs dust sometimes, , ,,,,,,, i know i like,, mainly write a Man,,,,,,, but not that long after i first made elijahs blog i made a solo one for a lesbian oc i had and yknow what,,, yeah!! its the like specifically women that cant be shipped with Men that often dont get as much going on and u dont!! need to have a romantic ship to establish some fun and interesting dynamics between people!! elijah as a character is terrible abt distinguishing between platonic and romantic affection bt some of my favorite dynamics for him are ones that are strictly platonic or familial, theyre really fucking fun to write and should!! also be considered, just bc u cant ship ur character with another doesnt mean u cant find some fun shit to write / plot

#﹒˚ ₊ ︵ out of character . ♡#under a read more bc long DFNKG #thank u for sending!!
