what’s the secret project you posted 👀

oh gosh i keep meaning to answer this and then i keep forgetting or pushing it back for reasons unknown to me i think im just unaccustomed to having any asks lol but anyways this is something that actually started because of a certain thing me and marina yell about when it comes to austin and then as our love for callum grew it came to something else grand and beautiful. now it’s only something that has been discussed in the chat, it has no doc or nothing official to it, it may never even come to fruition (marina is already gifting us with so much goodness in the fic worlds she dabbles in)

but i will share some of it and feel free to come further talk about it if it interests you 😘

Warnings: nsfw below the cut, open relationship, threesome, guy x guy, guy x guy x girl

So we’re all aware of how Austin put his blood, sweat, tears, and soul into his Elvis role. This man gave it his all and I’m truly so grateful to him for it because in my opinion (and most importantly in Lisa Marie’s opinion) he did Elvis Presley justice.

• Bree is a famous and highly esteemed guitarist, singer, and lyricist. She’s won multiple Grammies and written for and with Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, etc., that’s more her vibe. Baz hires her on during the making of Elvis movie so she could help him modernize the soundtrack and help with the choosing of songs. Maybe she’s even there when Austin gathers all the people from the record label and has them ridicule Austin after his first run through.

• But she’s there before filming and she’s there during filming and her and Austin even shack up together for a while during the first COVID lockdown, spending time with him in his apartment and staying up at all hours of the night to help him get certain scenes right. The bed sheets are tangled, kisses are shared, breakfast is eaten in bed not in the kitchen and there are multiple walks on the beach taken together.

• Bree tries her best to be there for him through all of it. She can sense he’s about to sky rocket and rightfully so, she doesn’t think anyone around can currently measure for his talent. She tries to be a soundboard and a friend and a girlfriend of sorts and a co worker and he’s got her playing all these different roles to keep up with him but keep in mind he never asked her to do any of that. She’s doing it because she loves him, maybe she isn’t in love with him or if she is she isn’t aware of it yet but she does love and care for him.

• And he’s going through his shit. He isn’t sure where Austin begins and Elvis ends and he isn’t in the headspace for a relationship, especially with Bree who deserves the world so when he’s sick as a dog and bed ridden before heading to London he makes sure to have the conversation with her. They were never official. Never went public or had rumors swirl. It’s better to end it on a good note and leave it how it is.

• So consider his surprise when a few months into filming MOTA, Bree shows up on Callum’s arm being introduced as his girlfriend. It’s supposed to be a lads night and Barry dragged him out and now someone who he calls one of his closest friends is introducing Bree as his current girlfriend. A close friend who he goes on walks in the parks with, who places kisses on his cheek after a few drinks, who places his hand on the small of Austin’s back when he approaches him, who pinches his cheeks and welcomed him with open arms. Dating someone who was there at his worst and gave him her heart and stayed up entire nights talking him down when his anxiety was too high and made him do self care when he forgot he was supposed to be his own person.

• and see, Callum and Bree are both Brits so they run in semi same circles and they knew of each other and were friends but Callum was with Vanessa Kirby and they were in love and for a while Bree was with Alex Turner and them afterwards there was Austin. So Callum and Bree were already friends and when they run into each other at a record shop and then head to lunch after and maybe Callum gave her a kiss goodbye when they went separate ways - it all just grew from there.

• so maybe Austin feels a green jealous monster growing inside his chest but who he’s jealous of he’s unsure and a larger part of him is actually happy for both of them. They’re good people, they love each other and both deserve each other.

• they’re suddenly everywhere. She accompanies Callum on set and it’s clear to everyone how in love they are and one time when they’re filming the POW scenes and everyone’s on lunch Austin is looking for peace and quiet so he wanders into their “bunks” but there right in front of him - Callum holding Bree up against the wood panel walls, pounding into her as she moans his name so prettily, his sheepskin jacket still on and making him sweaty. Callum’s eyes open and he catches Austin walking, Austin who trips over his own feet to back away but Callum just smiles and winks at him.

• and later Callum approaches Austin with a high five and a cheeky, “see how good I was giving it to her, mate?”

• and fuck, Austin gets hard thinking about it. Gets hard thinking about Bree’s moans and Callum’s grunt and his sweat and her breasts bouncing against his chest.

• then filming wraps and Austin’s free of them. Doesn’t have to be in there presence every day anymore and he meets someone, a nepo baby who’s beautiful and kind and he’s in a place where he feels he can be with someone so he goes for it and he falls in love.

• and MOTA press isn’t until 2024 so it’s two years of only a handful of run ins with them but then press starts and news break: Callum and Bree are engaged. And the entire cast and crew are happy and they all celebrate.

• She didn’t join Elvis press because she was touring.

• so now Austin is around his engaged friends and he has mixed feelings regarding both of them. See he’s happy and he loves his girlfriend and his career is good but if he’s being honest something is missing and when he wants to torture himself he admits he knows exactly what it is. And he’s doing interviews and Bree is backstage and Callum’s always so touchy and so kind in his words in regard to Austin and one day Callum admits Bree told him what went down between Bree and Austin and Callum’s a confident guy, he assures Austin it’s all fine.

• But maybe it’s the first screening of MOTA, and Callum and Bree are tired of Austin’s sad puppy dog eyes every time they catch him watching them so Bree corners Austin backstage. Gets close and starts palming him through his pants, assuring him Callum wouldn’t mind, in fact Callum has been purposely teasing Austin during interviews trying to get him to cave.

• Callum and Bree both decided if they all wanted it how could it be wrong? Why not go for it?

• And Bree’s falling to her knees and taking Austin in her mouth, pretty pouty lips wrapped around him as she takes him all the way in and suddenly Callum is there, watching them, talking her through it.

• “Isn’t she phenomenal, mate? Had to work with her to get rid of that gag reflex and now she can deep throat me.”

• and Callum waits until Austin mewls his name and calls him over, begging him to be a part of this somehow, to please hold him. So Callum is joining them, Bree so pretty on her knees between them and Callum is flicking Austin’s nipple and letting Austin let his moans out in his neck.

That’s all we have more to come soon if ya’ll wish 🌚

• oh yeah there’s a scene where Bree holds Austin’s hand the first time Callum fucks him because she’s aware of the pain of how large Callum is.

Tommy is also the reason the rest of sbi joined the dsmp, will has said he joined to play with tommy and both techno and phil said they joined to play with friends. And they were all doing great beforehand. Like most people only got added to dsmp after they became popular on their own (I think the only exceptions tho this are Dreams friends and foolish who dream found through reaction videos) like ranboo got added really quickly after he begun streaming but he also managed to get popular really quickly before that and the dream smp becoming popular was a communal effort its not just because its Dreams and part of the reason it was really popular was covid im sure if tommy and co had wanted to make their own smp instead of joining dsmp it would have gotten as popular as dsmp. Sorry this got long but I really hate when dream stans say that because it is not true at all. Also part of the reason dsmp is seen as cringe seem to be because of dream so

this is true for viceduo and quackity joining as well. iirc tommy really wanted quackity on the server and he's a very big reason quackity ended up joining. quackity's first few streams on there is him hanging out with tommy. tommy brought so many people together. and imo quackity's contribution to the dsmp's story is just as great as any member of sbi's. without quackity we wouldn't have had the election arc or manburg. he was one of the only people consistently on the server throughout the lore drought and lnv arc. he brought a lot of people together for lore. and quackity was already very popular before the dsmp. like you said dream loves to add people who are already popular and then act like he's the entire reason for their success. but quackity would've been fine without the dsmp too. he was in minecraft mondays. he was in smpearth. he was in karmaland. he would've made the qsmp and grown regardless. he owes nothing to dream. tommy owes nothing to dream. all of them owe nothing to dream. the work they put in while using the dsmp as a medium was their own. their effort far surpasses any that dream put in himself. if anything dream should be thanking them because his ass didn't even fucking care to log onto the server or run it correctly unless begged

I'm asking this as someone who absolutely ADORES Lucy St. Louis as Christine, do you think Lucy would have been cast as Christine if Covid never happened?

Kelly Mathieson did say at the time that she was going to be leaving at the 2020 Cast Change, so we would have been getting a new Christine regardless

But, I have always had this feeling, due to the other circumstances that occurred in Phantom London at the time, that Lucy St. Louis' casting as Christine was a bit of a "Consolation Prize"/"Compensation?"

Am I alone in this mindset?

I think she would have been cast, but it would have been very different circumstances from how it happened in 2020.

For one thing, IMO COVID-19 and the subsequent shutdown provided a perfect excuse for CamMack and co. to shutter the original West End production and push in their modified version. So had COVID-19 not occurred, the original West End production might very well still be going, albeit with some changes regardless (I know that even before the shutdown, the Golden Angel had stopped working and the technology for it was too old for them to fix, so something might have changed there). So Lucy St Louis might very well have been cast as Christine, and there would probably still have been huge fanfare for her as the first black Christine in Phantom on West End if she was indeed the first, but it would have been as a replacement Christine, perhaps even an alternate, not as the original principal Christine of the West End revival.

But additionally... I do agree with you that Lucy St Louis's casting, right when it was announced that the original West End production had been shut down and they were opening a new, modified version... yeah, it was something of a diversionary marketing practice. I know some people don't like that argument, for understandable reasons, as it seems to downplay Lucy St Louis's considerable talents, her deserved fame now, and all the work it took her to get to where she is now.

But ignoring that most every actor gets where they are through a combination of talent, work, and plain good luck and connections (see, for an extreme example, Katie Knight Adams being cast as Christine because CamMack wanted her in the role), I also don't see this a a knock against Lucy St Louis at all. Rather, it's pointing out what should be obvious now: companies and corporations will use diversity as a marketing tactic. They will! They know it's something people want to see, they know it gives them "virtuous corporation" points or whatever you want to call it, and they know if they do it, people will sigh and go, "Okay, they did so-and-so sucky things, but on the other hand they are trying to be more inclusive and representative of minorities, so I guess they're okay..."

And I think that was exactly what CamMack and co. were doing here: "Okay, the phans are going to be mad at us for doing this, but what if we did this..." It's a case of being mad at the higher-ups for their cynical use of diversity as a marketing ploy and sop to fans, not to downgrade Lucy St Louis (who is also one of my favorite Christines!) or say she was "only" cast because she's black. None of this is on Lucy St Louis, it's on the people in charge of the show, and it just sucks because, just like the circumstances of the West End revival, it creates this pall on her casting which she does not deserve.

And yet... and yet... IMO had the COVID shutdown not happened, I don't think Lucy St Louis would have been cast in 2020; I think hers or similar casting would have occurred far, far later down the line, because as much as ALW and co. were talking a big talk about diversity, it sure wasn't happening that much in Phantom pre-COVID. (Like, whoo, we got Ali Ewoldt, Jordan Donica, and Rodney Ingram in 2016-2017, but do we get anyone else after? Nope. Oh boy, we got our first Asian Raoul in the West End in the year of our Lord 2019 and he's an understudy, let's celebrate guys.)

And I know this is all speculation, I don't know anything about this alternate timeline other than guesses... but it brings up that conundrum of what are we willing to accept. When is casting diversely okay? Is it all right even when it's being done to make money? Should we expect corporations to do it "out of the goodness of their heart"? When are the benefits of representation and helping minorities feel seen outweighed by the fact that this was done for purely marketing practices? It's something I think a lot of people are grappling with in this era. And I don't have an answer for you on that.

Hi, I saw that there were asks/posts of roommate horror stories and I thought that I could add something adjacent to it. About 7-8 years ago one of my uncles basically voluntold my mom to have 2 friends (and their dog) of his to stay for the night (it was after midnight following 4th of July). They left the next day (while I was at a doctor appointment) and by the time we came back, they had moved all of their stuff into our garage (which was a lot because one was apparently pack rat) and had asked to stay (after they put everything they own in the garage) until the next monday because they were moving to a new place in town. They were in and out of our home for about a week before they ended up not leaving. For 2 months. During this time period they had their dog in our "no pets allowed" rental house, broke a bathroom mirror, and drank all of the booze that was there (we didn't find out until months later) and replaced it all with water (as in filled the bottle with tap water). The only reason they didn't stay longer was the fact my mom and I were going to be gone for a month she didn't want them in our house, alone, for a month. When we got back one of them was in jail and the other one was awol and went to jail soon after. Their things were still in our garage. We couldn't get rid of any of it until about 6-7 years later when we were moving and we had to spent about $600 to get 2 car sized garbage dumpsters that the city/town would/could take.

Skip to about 4-6 years later (I can't remember the year, it was during covid) my uncle's (the same one) girlfriend was going through some schizophrenia/manic episode and was put into a mental hospital but because of that, someone had to take care of her 2 male cats. And who would have to do that might you ask, my mom and I. My mom who lives in a no pets allowed home and is severely allergic to cats (we didn't find out until this but I inherited a minor verison of it)! We not equiped to have cats at all and they had free reign to the house while we stuck in our singular room that we had to share. We only had them for 3 days but it was a nightmare and scarred me from ever being around cats again.

Your mom is a nicer person than I am because I would have gone no co tact with my brother after the first time he allowed someone/thing into my home so tbh out permission.

I’m really sorry both of those happened that sounds like a really bad situation

Watched the episode, I am so confused.

Probably gonna have to watch it a few more times before I gif it into deep meta posts.

But it was emotional and sweet, and I really loved the Chimney and Hen journey guides.

And I'm pretty sure dream Bobby was more Peter than Bobby, loved it!!

It was clear why Eddie wasn't there and why Bobby was dead in that reality. It was heartbreaking and touching and amusing (angry guy and ghost Bobby),

The end felt a little like "dream a little dream" from spn with the two Evan Buckleys. Hell of a scene, well done Oliver!

I was a little sad and somewhat confused that Buck went to the loft with the stairs, so much for no strenuous activity. (For someone who recovered from surgery in a house with stairs, it's freaking hard.)

At the very least, if not the Diaz household (which was the obvious choice) the Han resistance would have been nice. No stairs, house full of family.

Or the Nash home, Bobby and Athena would have loved to have Buck there for the duration, and no stairs!

I don't know, didn't feel very convincing.

I think I'm happy (is that the word)? That Buck gets his bio parents taking care of him for a while. He wanted that, in his dream world, maybe reality will be kind too for a change.

I love Jennifer's and Oliver's interaction, the affection is so clear.

Eddie and Carla sneaking Christopher to see Buck was such an amazing scene, Eddie’s "I couldn't tell him no." Really got me to tear up. And apparently, Aisha wasn't the only one who teared up. 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

Athena's "Wake up!" Was completely reminiscent of TK's mom in LS yelling in his ear (even though there she was completely a dream) to wake up.

Athena is totally Buck's mom. Like May said to Bobby, Athena brought two kids into the marriage, and Bobby brought one. - The best father-daughter scene so far! I loved it!

Eddie will probably get his own mini meta for all that we got to see of him, but the scenes were framed in a hurting spouse waiting for his significant other to wake up, while having to be a functioning adult to their kid.

And Eddie may not have had a full crying scene, but he did cry with Christopher in the room as Christopher talked to Buck.

In 4x14 it was during covid time, Buck couldn't physically be there all the time, I think that what made the difference here.

But I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get a one on one scene with Eddie talking to Buck.

It felt, like 4x05, that this episode was more Buckley family oriented- the ending, I mean, than Buck returning to his chosen family, who he himself sought out in his coma dream to help him get back.

So it felt nice to see the parents' attempt at redemption, but also a bit forced and a little out of place.

The Buck with the X on the Ley was a foreshadowing for this episode. Dream Bobby tells Buck that he saved him by being Buck.

Being Buck saved Bobby, and it saved Eddie and Christopher. And I am still mad we didn't get to hear those words out of Eddie yet, but for some reason, the writers are holding back on the emotional confessions between those two.

Now Chimney's and Buck’s and for that matter Hen's and Buck’s siblings relationship is all out there to see, hell even Albert's connection to Buck is an obvious annoying (but sweet, I was so happy to see him again!!) little brother role.

Even May, subtly suggesting in this episode, that Buck is sort of a familiar fixture in the Nash household and a sort of brother to her through Bobby's marriage to her mom.

But there is no clear way to describe Buck's and Eddie's relationship because it's not a sibling one. It's way past work partners. Best friends don't act like that (unless they get together eventually), Co-parents? Isn't that a couples thing? It's not platonic, I'll tell you that.

And the fact that we're 6 seasons (5 since Eddie and Christopher joined) in and still have an unclear path written in canon really bugs me sometimes.

But, all and all for a 43-minute episode, it was really good, fun, and tear jerking, I loved all the little markings in the dream, that reminded Buck of core memories (that started with Eddie’s voice, and the tsunami with Christopher. 👀)

I loved this episode and am really waiting for "Recovery".

Oliver said that his caretakers and all the hovering get a bit too much. Now, knowing his parents and Maddie look after him, I can see where this is going to go.

And having already watched the promo, I really hoped Bobby wouldn't get into this much trouble, but sadly, he does, it's very Buck of him, just saying lol like son like father, I guess? 👀❤️

Sorry for making you guys wait like a week after the poll ended!

This is the Post Covid Kennelia story:

TW: Prob cringe, self image issues, cheating

Since leaving South Park during Covid to go to college, Amelia has changed quite a bit. Obviously her skills within acting have significantly evolved, but she has also grown mentally. She’s a lot more confident and bold now, not as scared to say what’s on her mind. Not to mention her perfectionist tendencies are nothing like what they used to be, she’s given up on impressing her parents (she completely cut off all contact with them) and trusts her own skill set. After working hard for a bachelor’s degree in performing arts, she got an agent for herself and finally achieved her dream of reaching Broadway. After the success of her first production, she started getting calls left and right from people wanting her for acting, dancing, and even singing gigs. And so she proceeded to accept almost every offer she had received, allowing her to make a fuck ton of money and create a name for herself within the entertainment world. During one of her broadway productions she met a man named Oscar, he was tall and professional with a seemingly tender personality. The two co-stars had hit things off almost immediately, instantly becoming friends.

Eventually their friendship had developed into something more, love. When they finally started dating after their first production together, things were amazing. Oscar treated Amelia like an absolute queen, always checking up on her and providing a shoulder for her to lean on. Things were looking great for South Park’s beloved theater girl once he proposed to her after dating for 3 years. Her first wedding was an event that she could never possibly forget, it was grand and big. As she walked down the aisle in her dream wedding dress, a part of Amelia's gut couldn’t help but feel off that entire day for some reason. Even during her honeymoon, a very small part of her knew something was eventually going to happen. This didn’t end up being important since she basically ignored her gut feeling the entire time. Many years later, her marriage with Oscar began going downhill. Amelia’s husband had turned cold. Personality wise, he wasn’t as caring and tender as before and as for their love life...let’s just say it was hanging on by a thread. Oscar had become greedy in bed, only caring for his own pleasure. Their relationship had become one-sided in a way, Amelia became the only one trying to save it from breaking (so it wouldn’t ruin either of their reputations). Weeks before present time, one of Amelia’s closest friends from New York had sent her footage and screenshots of Oscar cheating on her with another woman. The following sent Amelia into a spiral of emotions and when she confronted him, Oscar bluntly told her that he started seeing this woman 2 years after they had gotten married and that he started seeing her because Amelia was “boring” and that he had only wanted to marry her for publicity and her looks. Never in her life had she felt so hurt and betrayed. Amelia immediately filed for divorce and kicked Oscar out of her house. As she is currently divorcing Oscar, Amelia came back to South Park to escape the paparazzi at New York and hopefully heal from the heartbreak she’s experiencing.

Ever since Amelia got into showbiz, she slowly became more and more insecure and “nit-picky” about her appearance. Yeah- she did struggle with trusting her abilities on stage as a kid, but never EVER had issues with her self image. She loved the way she looked, maybe even was a little self centered occasionally. But that all changed when she lived in New York and started her career. As she started to quickly grow to fame, paparazzi began following her and shit PLUS Amelia had to experience critics practically judging her every move. It was fine for a couple years, until the stress started catching up to her. There was a time where she was offered to be on the front page of a magazine, once the magazine was out, critics had a field day talking about her hip dips don’t look right and how the way she styles her hair makes her cheeks fatter than they already are. Amelia will never forget the way she broke down that day, she almost got fired from her production because she couldn’t bring herself to attend rehearsals. Soon enough, she started to panic if even the slightest bit of her appearance was off. Amelia began to hate her body, she only found comfort in her acting roles since it allowed her to “be someone else” for an hour or two before having to come back to the “ugly” reality. Her ex husband, Oscar, tried to help her in their first couple years of their relationship + marriage, but found that it was no use since she always went back to hating herself. This was apart of the reasoning behind why he began to cheat on her. Amelia became so insecure of her hip dips that she began to wear padding that allowed them to be hidden whenever she wears the pencil skirt seen in her design. Her insecurities only became worse after she found out about the 15 year affair Oscar had. Nowadays, alone in her once shared home, Amelia often thinks about how “flawed” her body is and how Oscar cheated on her.

Ok so if it wasn’t obvious, Amelia and Kenny had to break up in their mid twenties due to Amelia going to New York to pursue her lifelong dream. Kenny could’ve went with her, but he wanted to stay in South Park with Karen and his friends. He understood how much Broadway meant to Amelia, but couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. Once Amelia was gone, Kenny changed. The poor boy was devastated, the only girl he truly had a connection with was gone. He spent a lot of the first few months talking about her and crying, LOTS of crying. These two used to be so close, they were basically attached at the hip. Everyone was convinced they were gonna be the first to get married (After Tweek and Craig ofc 🙄), but after word went around that Amelia had to leave, everyone felt bad for Kenny. A nice little detail I like to add is that he always kept a photo of them together in his pocket and had a whole photo album dedicated to her on the phone she surprised him with for the last birthday they spent together. Moving on, I would say before he began to turn his life around he also slept around a lot and began to drink a lot more often in an attempt to forget about her. This continued for about a year or two until he had an extremely long talk with Stan, Kyle, Butters, and Cartman about how he needed to change and move on. His friends obviously tried to talk him out of his behavior before, but Kenny usually just ignored them. This time around, they had really opened his eyes. Kenny knew he had to change, Amelia wouldn’t have wanted him to end up like this. That’s why he started to go to college, learning more about something that interested him, science. You kinda know the rest from the Post Covid specials, he becomes a millionaire, philanthropist, dark matter + breast implants, etc.

A little over twenty years later (this is picking up after the good ending of when we see Kenny walk into the Applebees and stuff), there’s a reunion taking place in South Park. As we know (since this is considered as “present time”), Amelia just found out that she got cheated on, she’s getting a divorce, and is at South Park to take a break from the big apple. In a way, the reunion was the perfect way for her to unwind, maybe even hook up with someone she used to know. What she didn’t know was that someone very close to her was gonna also attend the WINTER reunion (important detail). The entire time, Amelia kinda just lingered around the bar drinking red wine and mingling with her old friends. That was until someone called out the arrival of Kenny. As if it wasn’t possible, Amelia felt her already broken heart break into even more pieces. There were so many mixed emotions in her mind at the time, it was tough seeing Kenny, almost surreal in a way. She noticed how well he aged and wondered if he was married. Had he moved on? Even though she had fallen in love and married another person, part of Amelia was still in love with Kenny. The whole reason why she had fallen for Oscar in the beginning was because his personality reminded her so much of Kenny, the only difference was that Oscar was clearly a fraud.

Amelia was the first person Kenny saw when he had walked in, he knew that New York had changed her based on her outfit, not to mention the dull look in her eyes. He tried his best to keep his composure as he talked with his friends that he hadn’t seen in a hot minute. His heart was telling him to go talk to her, to see if she was married, to see how her dream life had been treating her. On the other hand, his mind told him not to, if he talked to her then he’ll end up going back to the way he used to be. He couldn’t stand to do that, not after he’s made it this far. So that’s what Kenny settled on, he wasn’t gonna talk to Amelia for the rest of the night. If only he followed through with his words. Since this was an Applebees there was obviously booze at this reunion… and you already know how adults are when they have too much booze. Between Amelia drinking wine and Kenny chugging down beer, they eventually found themselves catching up at the bar, all while being slightly over what’s considered as “tipsy”.

They were sober enough to understand what they were saying and remember it, but also tipsy enough to get a little too close to each other than what’s appropriate for a married woman and a single guy. Everything became a bit of a blur for the both of them once they arrived at Kenny’s hotel room. The next thing they knew, Amelia is waking up next to him with her clothes scattered around a hotel room. Oh god- this wasn’t supposed to happen. She immediately got out of the bed and put her clothes back on in the bathroom. This was super embarrassing. She felt horrible, Amelia had just slept with someone while she was still legally married. As she looked at herself in the mirror she began to break down into tears. She knew Oscar had cheated on her prior to this, but something about sleeping with another person while she was in the middle of the divorce rubbed her the wrong the way. Leaving, in her mind, was the best course of action right now. She thought she had to leave, hopefully he won’t remember anything when he wakes up. As she continued to quietly cry while her thoughts continued, Amelia heard a gentle knock on the door.

It was Kenny. In a soft morning voice, he had asked if she was alright. She cleaned herself up in a timely manner before opening the door. Amelia knew that the both of them needed to talk about what happened last night, but she was scared to face him after all these years. Their interaction had began with Kenny embracing her, the hug filled with many mixed emotions. The two stood in an awkward silence for a couple moments, that was until Kenny decided to speak up. He mentioned how he was sorry for the previous night (because he knew she was still in the middle of a divorce) but also asked her if they could give things a try again. Now that he was a millionaire, he had all the money in the world to build a new lab in New York not to mention a bunch of land for a new mansion for the both of them. He didn’t stay in South Park anymore since his little sister had already grown up and he didn’t have to take care of her. This is one part where their relationship comes full circle. As kids, Amelia was always the one helping Kenny. Whether it was when he got hurt, providing a space for him and his siblings whenever their parents were arguing, and simply just providing him with lots of things in life that he wasn’t able to enjoy because of how poor he was. Now as adults, Kenny was trying to return the favor. His plan was that he was gonna help Amelia learn to love herself again and obviously date her, maybe even get married. He needed to show what genuine love was like again, he knew he would treat her right if she gave him another chance.

Amelia was really hesitant, as much as she wanted to just say yes and go back to him, what would the critics and tabloids think? They couldn’t know about their relationship because then they’ll find out about her divorce. Not to mention they would likely call her a gold digger for moving on as quickly as she did, especially since she’d be dating a millionaire scientist. As she thought about her decision, Kenny asked how long she was gonna stay in South Park, to which she replied with a week. That’s when he came up with a great idea. He told her to give him a week, he promised to make it the best week of her life and show her why they should get back together. Still hesitating quite a bit, Amelia accepted the offer. That very winter day was the one that her life changed for the better, not to mention the same day that they met each other as kids (that’s why I said winter was a very important detail earlier).

He started off this “7-day trial” by explaining to her that despite how much her reputation meant to her, she shouldn’t allow other people to dictate the way she lived. At the time she didn’t really let his words sink in, since lots of her friends told her the same thing many times before. The following explains what they did together for the next 7 days:

Day 1:

- Kenny had Amelia move all her stuff to his hotel room

- They went ice skating

- Fancy dinner

Day 2:

- He insisted they went shopping (bro was thinking ahead since Christmas was in 3 days)

- The entire time he helped Amelia feel more confident about her body which was rlly sweet 🥹

Day 3:

- another fancy dinner

- They watched a movie together at the theater

Day 4:

- Christmas Eve

- Made cookies in the hotel room

- They played music and slow danced together for a bit (This part came from a cute hc I saw)

- Amelia went to bed surprisingly early, Kenny pretended to fall asleep but he actually left the hotel room to go pick up a gift for her

Day 5:

- Christmas day

- Amelia didn’t expect Kenny to buy a gift for her

- Felt really bad after finding out he got her a gift

- Kenny insisted that it was fine that she hadn’t gotten a gift for him, since they’ve only been reunited for 5 days

- The gift was a beautiful dress that made her hip dips stand out and look “prettier than they already were” (-Dr. Kenneth McCormick, idk what year it is for them)

- Despite not having a gift with her, Amelia ended up finding a way to repay him (I’ll leave it up for the imagination to figure out how that worked out; they OBVIOUSLY cuddled up next to a fire and watched a movie together with hot chocolate in their hands 🙄 get ur mind out of the gutter)

Day 6:

- They didn’t do much this day

- Kind of just stayed at the hotel room

- were cuddled up almost the whole time

- Recovering from yesterday

Day 7:

-Last day

- Very emotional

- They finally exchanged numbers

- Amelia packed up her stuff

Just one week with her old lover and Amelia was already feeling happier than she had ever felt in many years. Words couldn’t describe the spark she felt whenever she was near Kenny. He made her feel free to be herself, she didn’t have to put on an act around him, he made her feel loved. Love was something she’s struggled with throughout her life but he made it seem so simple. The hard part about this situation was having to leave him. A large part of Amelia didn’t want to go back to New York, but she knew she had to go back to her career. Sure, she loved Broadway- but she now realized that none of it compared to her relationship with Kenny. She didn’t want to go back to the “ugly reality” (reference to her backstory). Things would’ve been more ideal if Kenny could go with her, but she was still divorcing Oscar and it would be a liability to her reputation if they were seen together.

The drive to the Denver airport was filled with lots of tension to say the least. The two of them were fully dressed in black, just in case anyone was watching. To the average person, it would be hard to tell who they were, they just looked like another middle aged blonde guy and red headed woman. As they finally reached the drop off, the initial plan was for Kenny to leave Amelia at the airport. That changed as she told him to go in and wait with her. This was starting to resemble the day Amelia left for college, and they both felt the deja vu in the atmosphere. Amelia held his hand the entire time, feeling scared of what would happen if she let go. But alas, they knew they couldn’t avoid reality once her flight was having it’s last boarding call. Their last interaction for a while would go a little something like this:

“Amelia, you gotta let go of me, hun.” Kenny softly said.

“But Ken-“ She choked out through her tears. “I’m not ready to let go yet.”

He gave her one of his signature reassuring smiles as he stood up.

“I know you aren’t. But we can’t be seen together while you’re still divorcing that douchebag, right?”

His hand came up to softly wipe the tears that were now falling down her cheeks as he continued speaking.

“Besides, don’t you have my number? We can still text each other and I promise you the exact moment when all of this is over, I’ll be waiting for you in a limo and two tickets to Grease (let’s just say they revived the musical during this time).”

Amelia softly laughed through her tears in reaction at his promise, he always knew how to comfort her. The grip that she had on his hand slightly loosened.

“Atta girl. There’s the laugh I fell in love with. I know you can do this, we’ll be back in each other’s arms in no time. Just remember that I’m your biggest cheerleader. Even when you don’t see me, I’m cheering you on.”

Kenny fixed some of the flyaways in her bangs while he fully removed Amelia’s hand from his. Time was running out.

Amelia took a deep breath before loosening the grip her other hand had on her suitcases. With one swift move, she kissed him, drawing it out for a couple long seconds so that she could savor the feeling. For one last time, they could feel like they were the only people in the world. That feeling quickly faded away as she pulled back.

“I love you, don’t you ever forget it.” She whispered as more tears left her eyes while she ran off to board her flight.

“I love you too.” He muttered under his breath, since she was already gone before he could react.

Feeling the same empty feeling he felt more than 20 years ago, Kenny walked back to his car. It wasn’t until he was in the privacy of his vehicle that reality finally hit him. Even though it was quiet, he felt himself breakdown harder than he ever did in a while. To him, the pain from losing Amelia again was almost equal to the pain he felt every time he died. He couldn’t stand it, but again he knew she needed to leave. It was important that she went back New York to divorce Oscar as quickly as she can, but for once again in his life, Kenny felt like a piece of him was missing.

On the flip side, Amelia wasn’t doing too well back in New York. Oscar was always causing issues at their house and starting arguments, not to mention always bringing home the girl he cheated on her with. Her mental health was a mess and for the second time in her life, she almost got removed from a production. Despite all that the news outlets still wouldn’t leave her alone, the paparazzi followed her almost everywhere she went and took photos of her, even when she wasn’t looking her best. Critics still continued their commentary on her appearance and began to call her out for not being in New York for the last two weeks. One of them even found out that she had traveled to South Park, but they thankfully didn’t find out anything about her little getaway with Dr. McCormick. Sometimes the reporters would stick microphones in Amelia’s face and asked what she was doing in South Park, to which she replied by remaining silent and continuing to walk to her destination. It wasn’t like she could just tell the reporters “My husband cheated on me for the majority of my marriage so I went back to my hometown, reunited and hooked up with my old flame that happens to be a millionaire MULTIPLE times in a week, AND allowed him to spoil me like some sugar baby for that entire time. Did I mention that it was the best week of my life and that I want to go back with him again? Maybe even finally marry him after all these years?”, that would put Oscar’s, Kenny’s, AND her reputation at risk.

That’s all I’ve written for now 🥲 I hope you guys like it! I’ll be sure to post new parts as soon as I write them :)

8 Shows to Get to Know Me

I was tagged by the lovely @talays-portkey and @i-got-the-feels !

1. Ghost Whisperer (2005-2010) I think this was the first show that i actually tried to watch as it was airing. I still remember waiting for 10pm every Friday, whether everyone else was awake or not. I think I watched all the way from Season 1-4, until it stopped airing on our local channel.

2. Glee (2009-2015) Honestly this was my introduction to the English music scene. I did not grow up listening to English songs, so my initial playlist was basically Disney Channel artists and Glee covers. As a music lover, I just enjoyed listening to their takes of the songs. I think I stopped watching somewhere during Season 3, and only did the Cory tribute episode after that.

3. Teen Wolf (2011-2017) This was the first show that I started reading fanfics for. Well I started reading before I watched it, but Sterek stole my heart. I was very into the series, to the point that I watched Season 3B in one night because I had to find out what happened. Dumb me thought it was a good idea to start a new season at 8pm at night. I stayed up through the night, and texted my friend at 6am to yell about the whole thing. And they replied that it is too early to be awake to scream about it. “What do you mean wake up and watch it. I haven’t slept yet” So yeah. Stiles is my baby, and I will protect him with my life.

4. The Untamed (2019) My friend recommended this to a few of us during covid lockdown, and I am very glad she did. It really opened me up to a whole new world. This show had such a grip on me. To the point that I started a new side blog for it, and learnt how to make edits for it. I got to know so many incredible people through the network cos of this show. It was such a brilliant show! The plot is so intricate! It has angst and heartache and amazing costumes and stunning sets and a cast who honestly killed it. Definitely a show that I would recommend to everyone.

5. Bad Buddy (2021-2022) Obviously I can’t go without talking about BB here. Have you seen my blog URL? Till BB, I never watched a show as it was airing. I usually wait for it to end and then binge, or start watching it just in time for the finale. But I kept seeing gifs on tumblr and it made me want to check it out. And boy am I glad I did it. It was such a fun experience to watch it live and scream on a weekly basis. For some reason the hold that this show has on me seems to be lifelong? I have no complaints though. I am still enjoying all the BB brainrot. Pran is my baby. I have never related to a character as much as I relate to him. He is so precious to me. And this show just blends angst with humour and a touch of reality so well. I am making it my personal mission to read through every Patpran fic on AO3. This show made me want to try writing. I cannot explain how much this show means to me. A definite must-watch as well!

6. Arivaan (2019-2020) So my sister told me that this is my kind of show and made me watch it. I started it while she was halfway through, and finished it way before her. It was right up my alley. The whole premise is about trying to identify a serial killer who has been murdering women, and leaves an origami paper crane behind. There is a police officer who manages to find these clues and tries to identify him, but the killer disappears and due to personal issues he end up leaving the force. Years later the killer is back and he somehow gets roped into it again, but his partner is now leading the case, and is finding out things that he doesn’t really want to. And I really enjoyed the way it was taken, and the I am really hoping that there will be a Season 2 for this.

7. Paava Kadhaigal (2020) Honestly no show has made me as mad as this has, and that is totally the point. (Although I am totally gonna be ignoring the second episode. That does not exist to me) It is an anthrological series, with 4 3 episodes touching on different hard topics/issues prevalent in society. The way it was taken , the music, THE CAST, EVERYTHING WAS BRILLIANT!! I had to pause it and just scream on twitter to release all the frustration that this brought up. Which means it really did its job well. I have not watched this series since the first time, but trust me when I say I remember every detail because it has such a lasting impact. Especially the first and the last. I was bawling. NOTE: This can be very highly triggering, so please do check out the synopsis before you watch it. Or feel free to hit me up with any questions, or just scream about it if you do check it out.

8. 3 Will Be Free (2019) Insane plot with amazing characters with so much depth. Loved that each character was so complex. There is no character that is purely good or bad, like it was so real, and you feel for them all equally. This really set a standard that no other show has reached so far. I need another series like this. And of course anyone who put Tay Tawan in funky suits gets a plus from me. Also more female characters need to have guns!!

Honorary Mentions: Mindhunter: This would have been number 8, if it wasnt cancelled!! The casting directors for this deserve all the bonuses for how creepily identical the actors look to the actual serial killers! It was so interesting to try and get into the head of the serial killers and understand why they did what they did. LOVED IT!!! Until We Meet Again: This used to be my favourite BL series until Bad Buddy took over. I loved Fluke’s effortless acting. He is brilliant. And I love the whole concept of reincarnation and finding you soulmate. And this did it so well with the angst and touch of humour and romance. And of course TeamWin stole my heart.

Theory Of Love: Honestly, wasn’t that much of a fan the first time I watched it. But the redemption arc is so goood, that I felt so much for Khai the second time I watched it. That train station scene just lives in my head. So for rewatch factor, this deserves a honorary mention.

The Good Place, Word Of Honor, We Best Love, Stranger Things, RE:Mind

Tagging: @highwarlockkareena , @eohachu , @markpakin , @fangrui , @fuujiikaze , @gege @seawherethesunsets @gaiamochi (no pressure)

Hello there 👋🏻

I left the sanders sides fandom and blocked every tag just short of four years ago, just after the release of DWIT. Now, there is no obligation for you to answer this ask, but if you feel up to it, think you could fill me in on everything that’s gone down? Has there really not been another ‘proper’ episode since then? Like I said, you aren’t obligated to answer. It just, seems like there’s been a lot. Thought it would be easier to ask someone. Thanks for your time.

im putting this under a read more cos. shit gets extensive

ok so here’s the shitty rundown:

if you remember, at the end of dwit virgil confessed to having been a “dark side” in the past, and thomas didn’t seem to take it well

the next episode was a sanders asides, which is basically,, shorter videos that were promised to give us more content (lie)

in this asides, thomas found out his friend was like. an ex homophobe. and somehow that’s a parallel to virgil having been a dark side??? ok

basically thomas realized he needed to accept virgil for everything he was, including his past. but they couldn’t come up with a better allegory. so it’s apparently canon that thomas thinks of dark sides as being the same as. ex bigots. idfk

about a year later, the svs redux came out. oh boy

thomas got back from the wedding, sang a song with patton and roman about how it sucked because lee and mary lee didn’t drop everything to spend time with him instead of. celebrating their fucking wedding. thomas basically said “wahhh why won’t lee and mary lee talk to me instead of focusing on themselves at their own wedding 😡😡😡😡” which like. whatever i guess

they debated on whether it would’ve been better to discuss the wedding vs callback decision with lee and mary lee beforehand and patton was like “but they may have been sad if you picked the wedding, and they would’ve been sad if you picked the callback” blah blah

logan came in as a pixelated pop up (called “logans lowdowns”) and was like “im gonna give helpful information via text box” and no one bothered to read them cos they’re jerks (I DID. MY REACT VIDEO PROVES IT. real logan stans read the text and then had to rewind the video to hear the other dorks jshdjdjfjf)

ultimately patton ended up suggesting that thomas should sacrifice himself for others. and also he should only take care of himself in emergency situations. and he turned into a frog

oh yeah and then deceit popped in and was like “patton you’re being a little extra” and explained that if you only take care of yourself in emergency situations, you won’t be nearly as equipped to handle it as you would be if you. you know. utilized self care a more reasonable amount

then roman was like “shut up deceit” and deceit was like “my name is janus” and roman was like “shut up janus, also that name is stupid” and janus was like “well you’re the evil twin so suck on that”

im doing a bad job of explaining the tension but holy SHIT this video…

anyway, after the redux was flirting with social anxiety, which is another asides. it’s an animatic because covid prevented thomas from actually going to the mall but anyway

thomas went to the mall having one mini moral crisis after another, until he saw a cute guy he wanted to talk to. but virgil was like “hell no” and roman was like “hell yes” and they basically spent the entire video arguing over whether it was a good idea to approach a stranger (regardless of how cute said stranger was)

ultimately, thomas and the stranger, nico flores, managed to get to talking, and they really seemed to hit it off! thus followed a really cute end credit scene back at the apartment, i really recommend watching that part on its own i fucking love it

the next episode was the third and final (so far) asides, in which thomas has sought help from logan in basically getting his life together, starting with cleaning his apartment

throughout the endeavor, thomas tries to follow the plan logan helped him get together in order to get it done, but remus has plans of his own. with every step thomas takes, remus puts a bear trap in his path. you know. metaphorically

oh yeah and the subplot is that thomas texted nico something stupid and he hasn’t responded and thomas is like “pls god why” probably because he’s worried he scared nico off (i can’t remember what the text said but i think it was cringe? idk hsjdhdj)

logan is trying to help thomas work through his intrusive thoughts… hence the title of the video jsjdjfkfk but remus is pretty relentless. finally, logan approaches remus and is like “what the fuck dude” and remus is like. well y’all know what remus is like akdjkdjfkf

remus starts ignoring logan and logans eyes glow orange and he’s like “STOP IGNORING ME” and remus is turned on or something and he’s like “but who do you really wanna scream that at?”

nico calls thomas and is like “wanna look at art?” and thomas is like “hell yeah” and leaves in the middle of cleaning which makes logan sad and ill kill thomas for making logan sad /j (there was also ominous vague foreshadowing from janus eating an apple in a tree or some shit idk)

then there’s the five year anniversary shit. which is like. pointless skhddkjf it’s basically thomas asking the sides shit about the series and it’s mostly fluff until you look into it. pretty much on the surface level kahdjdfjfk

i don’t remember it well i only watched it a couple times so

im not gonna talk about can plushies improve our health it makes me too mad

then the last video in the sanders sides playlist is the over the garden wall cover which i recommend simply because thomas/janus’s voice is so good and the vibes are so soft i cant

and there ya have it. you’re caught up now. now i have a question for you; what the FUCK do you mean, “four years ago, just after the release of dwit”. that was two years ago you are lying to me /j

WIBTA For Snitching On My Brother?

tl;dr at the end, the submissions a bit long. sorry if this sounds like stupid teen drama, but i needed outside opinions. (tw for mentions of attempted suicide)

so for a bit of context here, me (14nb) and my brother (14m) both have Parental RestrictionsTM on our phones. In my opinion they are way more severe than they need to be. i am not allowed to have any social media at all, my mother barely tolerates discord. I cannot text anyone who is not my direct sibling or parent from 9pm at night to noon the next day and i cant use any "nonessential" apps during that time frame too. my brother has the same restrictions on his phone, but he has safari removed because my mother said he was playing "random internet games". however, he has found ways around this and ways around the app restrictions. i know how he does it. i really dont have any intention of telling our mother, its none of my business and i honestly dont care that much.

I recently moved to a new school. My brother and i were homeschooled prior to this during covid. And it was fine. We went to a homeschool co-op twice a week. A year ago we were both enrolled in Local Community College as dual enrollment students. A semester into that i was Not Vibing Well and ended up having a breakdown and getting a therapist. I would talk to her directly about this but i havent been able to see her in weeks due to scheduling conflicts. The workload seemed too much to me, there was no longer a distinction between School and Home. i felt like i was constantly on the clock, and i barely saw my friends. In addition to other factors at my co-op, I got very lonely. At that time the limits on my phone were 9pm-3pm (it was later edited to 9am to noon) . I cant remember exactly what happened, but i asked my mother to at least change the communication limits so that i could talk to my friends during the day. She said no, stating that I Do Not Need to Communicate With Friends During The School Day. i do not have a real “school day” i am at home basically 5/7 days of the week. And normal kids see their friends every day at school. The argument got dropped then.

Fast forward half a year, i felt increasingly lonely, out of place, bothersome, etc, at my co-op and have decided to try going to Local Public Highschool. This meant leaving my best friend (14f) whom i love dearly (for the purposes of this post i will call her Z). Z is one of my favorite people in the whole world, we got platonically married, I lovingly refer to her as “my wife”, and i would genuinely die for her. She got a phone over the summer which means we have a better way to communicate, replacing discord as the primary communication system. Also at that time one of my best online friends fucked up their discord account somehow and the whole online group moved to text. there's about four of them? J, Other J, B, and L (ages vary from 12-16). I believe only B is directly relevant to this story but the others are worth mentioning. Additional context (tw for mentions of suicide from now on), all of those four are varyingly suicidal. B has attempted before, at least twice I believe. out of the group i am probably the most mentally stable.

School starts! I am already feeling a bit lonely due to leaving Z but we stay positive. I wake up for school at like 530 and check my phone at like 6:45. Woohoo a message from B! It was sent at 4 am. This is concerning. There is a glitch that i can use in order to view texts for between half a second and four seconds, it depends, and i use it. B’s message reads “Bye”. theres no fucking reason that they would be texting me goodbye at 4am in the morning unless they were going to kill themselves. I cannot properly view or respond to that text until noon, so eight hours. I wait to know if my friend is ok for eight hours, and at noon i check my phone again. In that time i’ve received messages from the groupchat. J, Other J, and L all received “bye” texts from B at around the same time period. After a few messages, we know B is ok, i dmed them privately and they responded both in ims and the gc. So they are ok. But i had to wait for eight hours to know that. Later that day i asked my mom if she had considered my proposal (i asked her a day or two before if she would at least turn off communication limits because it is also rather embarrassing to be honest to have to tell other people that oh i cant respond to your message right now, sorry my mom has limits on my phone :D. In addition i get anxious when i send a message that im nervous abt and it doesnt get responded to for hours so i hate leaving messages for longer than two hours). Once again, she said no. it goes against her Views As A Parent for me to have “unrestricted access” to my phone. She offered to add only Z to the list of people i can contact during the limits. This is better than nothing but Z texts more in the groupchat than she does in private messages so it wouldn’t work that well. We argued, it didnt work out, i got pissed off and we both went to bed. i very strongly feel that for like my mental health i need to be able to communicate with my friends better than i can at the moment. And i dont want to wake up to a message from a friend, have it be the last one they ever send, and not be able to respond for hours.

Heres where the part where i could be an asshole comes in. (so sorry that that was really long i didnt know what parts would be needed as context and what were not so i just typed everything i think might be relevant). This isnt something that i am very strongly considering, as i truly dont want to fuck up my relationship with my brother and i love him a lot. I just want opinions on whether it would like be going too far i guess. I am considering offering a trade. I tell my mother how my brother has found ways around his limits, and she turns off the communication limits on my phone. WIBTA if i did that?

TL;DR: would i be the asshole if i snitched on how my brother got around some restrictions in exchange for me being able to communicate with my friends?

What are these acronyms?

#aita #am i the asshole

When Mary Manchin argued that SPN gets zero market testing, even Destiel, I already had the fucking receipts that we cleared 3 years later safely after much scrutiny.

When Jess of Mary Sue screamed at me that "the authors had no intention" of trying to take Destiel anywhere, early season 14, I stared at her like the unplugged alien she was, while she trumpeted for example how well she knew berens bc she sits at con tables with him but can never read his eyes rolling out of his head.

When season 15 started, i said at the start of the season we were going there. Because, well, it was the first thing he wrote, and his ONLY reason to stay, which is weird for not having intent. But anyway this "STOP GETTING PEOPLES HOPES UP" condescending garbage was so thorough that Natalie Fisher, a real life friend of Meredith Glynn, argued there wouldn't be a confession that year, only a few episodes before it aired, when we already had three layers of leaks, including the script wholesale and some international stuff, like me too/i you

The entire time they barked and barked and omg it happened. Then the ending wiped out and they laughed at my old "spec" along with that confession of roadhouse reunions and more, missing everything else matched up down to events and death order just to pretend they won something.

They screamed and denied anything was removed or omitted or cut then we got the scripts and the cuts. And then they screamed louder, and literally started thanking covid for destroying the ending to give them what they wanted, or as close as they could ever get.

Jensen's graphic designer stared me in the face and told me the pilot was fake when I had a list of like, 30 reasons 100 miles long it was real that they'd never get, and i told them and 2p0 and everyone they were wrong and gasp, they were wrong!! Go figure that winkyface no Danneel DMed you wasn't real, but whatever they sent you last week sure popped ur lid

So then 2P0 tried to hyperfixate on proving the pilot was gonna be dramatically different and way overblew getting shrill about the reshoots, so I went ~somewhere and within 2 hours confirmed the exact nature of the reshoots, which beyond a few additional fills when the whole group came back for ep 2 were mostly finished with the extended pilot shooting, and how small and minor those were--phrasing tweaks, framing and light mood adjustments. Boom, a week later screener drops, says the same damn thing.

This entire thing is a fools errand of dipshits not understanding WHO has reliable info about WHAT and think A Source Is A Source Is A Source, They Know Someone, Right? -- and like, no. now 2p0 out here trying to frantically retool his pilot dialogue less than 2 weeks before the pilot airs and got so fucking up his own ass about it he forgot there were other episodes to track.

Seriously guys. Follow the leak history there and realize just why 2p0 and co are treading water so desperately for a narrative to fix. For years they brushed all of the above events under the rug but it's time to consider them as a complete picture--both what the creatives were fighting for, and how absolutely fucking disconnected 2p0 is. even people with better contact like Jess don't know what the fuck they're doing. They won't tell their real friends like Natalie most of the time. And low ranking workers in one department do not inherently know the business machinations above their paygrade.

It's time for fandom to start boxing this off. to not fall for 2p0's nonsense blending con sizzle reals and official ads to try to make confusion. To delineate the departments and understand who has perspective on what. To know where to reach above that. And to look for caveats or deflections in the way authors speak.

If you guys weren't desperate for anti confirmation biases or bitter confirmation biases, you'd be embarrassed for EVER reading jensen's "a script got leaked" shit the way 2p0 did. he didn't say it was fake, he said it was different, and that's true, they had already revamped the axis mundi visuals even before the reshoots but the song remains the fucking same, dudes, cope.

Look real, real hard at which fandom leakers speak clearly with confidence on these issues, and which ones like 2p0 say a pile of nothing commital so later he can pull one of 5 options out and say he was right. No, we don't do that shit here. That's not being In The Know, that's you not even being able to sort out your fifth degree rumors, what the shit.

History matters here, folks. Don't buy a car with a history of breaking down, and don't follow a blog like 2p0 that perpetually does.

An Intimate Night

During the pandemic, there wasn't much opportunity to attend music concerts. After all, there was a virus going around. As countries reopen with COVID-19 relegated to the rear view mirror, there has been a return of nighttime entertainment in the last few years. Of note for this humble blogger has been the return of musicals. Be that 9-5, featuring the songs of our favourite country singer: Dolly Parton, to Six and the Rocky Horror Show.

In the city itself, there have been a few smaller candlelit concerts with music ranging from movies to anime. A Distant Worlds hasn't graced the shores of Australia since 2017. And while we had a Kingdom Hearts music concert in 2019, it has certainly been quite a few years since I've gotten to enjoy a proper orchestra playing my favourite songs from a couple of my favourite franchises live.

No longer!

Given advanced notice by Facebook, I co-opted my good friend, @bleachpanda into the proceedings. It helped that the New World concert fell very close to her birthday. But unlike previous New Worlds that had been held at Chatswood Concourse, this time round, the two of us would enjoy the music from Final Fantasy at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

A place that I'd been to in my youth. Back when I was still being graded for piano and hadn't visited in a very long time.

After picking up two Krispy Kreme donuts and getting overcharged (for some reason, they charged me the price of a 4-donut box and I didn't realise it until I checked my bank balance the next day), I picked up @bleachpanda at Wynyard train station in the heart of the CBD. From there, we headed eastwards towards the State Library.

Despite the fact that we had bought tickets for the 6PM showing, eschewing dinner (which we ended up grabbing later anyways), there were still plenty of people in attendance. @bleachpanda and I were not the only music starved Final Fantasy fans out there.

And what a riveting opening number that the smaller chamber orchestra started off with! As soon as I heard the first few notes, a grin split my face from ear to ear. After all, this was Valse di Fantastica!

What followed next were a mix of songs both old and new.

I won't be able to put them in exact order as I thought it rude to pull out my phone and start recording the names but barring two songs from Final Fantasy XIV, I managed to remember most of them. I do believe one of them MAY have been Insatiable from the Shadowbrings DLC. The other was a more jazzy piece that I cannot, for the life of me, recall the name of. Probably because I should have played more of Final Fantasy XIV, but I digress.

The other songs that caught my attention were Town Theme from the first Final Fantasy. Then we had Besaid from Final Fantasy X, which I immediately recognised, followed by Heaven's Tower from Final Fantasy XI.

Then we had a variety of different songs. Unfortunately for @bleachpanda, none of them proved capable of keeping her engaged. These included Lenna's Theme from Final Fantasy V, Atonement from Final Fantasy XIII, Dark World from Final Fantasy VI and Melancholia from Final Fantasy XV.

Finally, in order to keep my poor friend awake, the orchestra played Force Your Way from Final Fantasy VIII along with a piece from @bleachpanda's favourite Final Fantasy game: IX. Except of course, A Place to Call Home was rudely cut short with a Final Fantasy XIV song.

We even got to hear the conductor, Eric Roth, sing when Serah's theme was played. And in fact, Eric Roth was a very memorable conductor as he gallivanted around the stage. Well, gallivant isn't quite the word either. He...danced? Or rather, conducted with the entirety of his body. From stamping his feet to waving his arms around as a means to tell the orchestra to add more oomph to a piece or to keep it more quiet.

Before too long, the concert came to an end. As it did, we were treated with several classic: Zanarkand, One-winged Angel, Victory Fanfare and Chocobo Medley. And to justify the acoustic guitar that they brought in we also heard a guitar solo of the main theme from the first Final Fantasy.

While it was no Distant Worlds, it was certainly a night that brought back a flood of memories of attending these concerts in the past. And, if anything else, was a sign that things in the world were finally returning to a state of normalcy. Whether we were ready for it or not.

Good Sunday, everyone. I hope it’s full of some excellent sentences.

Whelp ... I got covid, which is lame. Fortunately its been pretty mild so far. I’m writing chapter 6 of Mirrors with massive brain fog, though. If it ends up reading like a fever dream just know that’s the reason why. (It lends itself to the material, we’re probably???? fine.)

After all the angst of chapter 4 and that cliffhanger (thanks for all the screaming by the way. love it.) its hard to grab bits from chapter 5 without giving up the game (i dont have game, lets be real.) But then I realized that it’s all just completely confusing out of context so we’re probably safe.

That being said ... here’s something.

Seven bloody snakes, I have way too much time to think right now.

I lean back on the sofa, staring down warily at my half-eaten mess of a ham and cheese sandwich. The butter is so thick in places and sparse in others, and the bread has holes torn through it. It looks like it was made by someone without opposable thumbs. Half the bites I’ve had so far have been mostly butter. How the fuck are you supposed to know how much butter to add?

I feel the sofa dip as Fiona sits down beside me, her back to the armrest. She stretches out her legs and crosses her ankles, settling over my lap. I glare at her, but she’s looking at the sandwich now, too. Grinning.

“How do you fuck up a ham and cheese sandwich, Baz? It’s only four ingredients,” she teases.

Born of a really silly chat with @j-nipper-95 about Baz being hilariously awful at any form of cooking during the Watford era. (He learns for Simon after the events of CO, thats my headcanon. Let me have this. AU where everything is pretty much the same, but Baz cant make sandwiches.)

I might post a more serious excerpt on Wednesday. Maybe. Or I’ll continue to be a shit and just post the second half of this conversation.

Tags and hellos for @whatevertheweather @palimpsessed @captain-aralias @bookish-bogwitch @cutestkilla @johnwgrey @takitalks @stardustasincocaine @tea-brigade @bazzybelle @ileadacharmedlife @aristocratic-otter @ivelovedhimthroughworse @urban-sith @mostlymaudlin @fatalfangirl @facewithoutheart @confused-bi-queer @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @basiltonbutliketheherb @letraspal

With the COVID numbers slowly rising again (unfortunately), that's got me thinking of a question I wanted to ask...

If COVID took place in the HypMic universe, how would your OC's handle it? Would they slowly go insane from being trapped indoors? Would they develop an unhealthy drinking/smoking habit? Or would they be perfectly fine?

Ryūzō, like most teachers, would have to adjust to the pandemic. Due to the fact that in-person classes would be canceled, he'd have to resort to online classes. Despite that, he would still be the same hardass he always is. He'd demand that cameras be on and would randomly call on people to participate. And even though he can't give out pop quizzes much, he would still assign lots of homework and reading assignments. And he would be able to tell if the student has or has not read it, as he would ask daily questions about things in the book that everyone should know. Needless to say, his methods wouldn't change.

Now Ryūzō, personally, the pandemic would obviously take some time for him to adjust to. With safety regulations in place, this means he wouldn't be able to take his dogs out for their daily walk anymore, and he'd have to be careful when he goes out to get supplies. He wouldn't like it all and would frequently worry about his students and co-workers. He only hopes that the pandemic comes to a swift end.

Takumi, he will have the hardest time adjusting. For one thing, as a physical education teacher, he obviously can't expect his students to go out and exercise with safety regulations up. And he also can't ask them to work out on a camera. So the most that he could do in this situation is simply have them write a weekly paper about what they did that was physically active in their house. He would hope that they would be truthful about it. But if they're not, well... he knows that there is little he can do. He does warn his students that once the pandemic is over they should prepare themselves to be worked like never before! His students don't know what to say to that...

As for Takumi himself, little about his home life will change much. Though he will hate not being able to go out to bars and nightclubs like he used to, he is glad that he can, at least, spend time at home, either working out with his kendo stick or playing video games. He will also frequently call and check in on Ryūzō and Kotono to see how they are doing.

Kotono, though she won't have trouble adjusting to the pandemic, may be the one who suffers the most from it. She rarely attends class to begin with if she can't manage to work up the energy. So if the pandemic forced all of her students to attend online classes, she'd most likely wouldn't be able to keep up with it. The reason is that she would have to show people her apartment, which isn't the cleanest place in Japan. Plus, knowing her, she'd probably show up half-dressed and still asleep. So, she may just give her students a bunch of reading assignments and self-study sessions, while periodically giving them quizzes or tests.

As stated, Kotono may suffer the most from the pandemic. She already has terrible household skills, so spending all of her time at home would be a bad idea. As the days go by, her house would slowly get dirtier and dirtier. She'd eventually run out of clean clothes to wear, clean dishes to eat off of, and food to eat since she forgot to go shopping. Eventually, she'd have to call Ryūzō to help her, which would force the English professor to break safety regulations and go check up on his fellow professor. What follows is a day of Ryūzō cleaning, stocking, and sanitizing Kotono's apartment.

Thanks for the ask!

7 Nation Army - ZONNEBLOEM - Part 2: Living. Loving. Learning.

Listening to INDIGO by RM on repeat.

[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]

–🐺–🐺–🐺–

I know I should be listening to playlists tailored to Indigo, in order to help with streaming, and I promise I will from Monday. What has been happening since Friday, is that I haven’t been able to stop listening to the album, day, night, it’s been on repeat and today for the first time I cried at the end of Change pt.2 “You can’t love someone like I do. That’s all I can say to you”.

In a bit I’ll explain what that particular lyric meant to me. For now though I want to begin with thinking through the entirety of Indigo and its creation span: 2019 - 2022; from when he was 26 until 29. Indigo, thus far, is truly an album that has gone as close to one’s true feelings as an artist like Namjoon can, or rather, is able to. At least for now.

[Up to this point I was writing with my own feelings ONLY. Then I got the notification of RM 'Indigo' Album Magazine Film which was very profound and kinda confirmed a lot of what i was going to write based on pure speculation. So I watched it and now I’m back to writing.]

If you’ve read a couple of my blogs you might be familiar with my writing style. I have what you would call a storyteller’s style. I think that events, be it a second in a moment, or life in general, have a defined structure, with a start, a mid section, and an end. Such is life after all; we are born, we live and then we die.

Even within stories that have yet no ending or which start you are unaware of, within the context in which you begin narrating them, that will be your start, the moment you stop, that will be its end. Reason why, for the most part, people tend to love backstories and hate unfinished-stories.

Backstories give you motive for things, sometimes even a justification if you will, something that you hope can help others better understand you and reasons for the things you do. Whereas unfinished stories are unsettling, the uncertainty-of-it-all is damning and the “what-ifs'' will literally drive someone crazy, because what if it happens to me? What if my story/life turns out to be unfinished? …”

All this just to appreciate and fawn over this man, even more than I already do. This wonderful man whose extreme mental affinity with mine was the reason why I even began to seriously get into BTS in the first place. From what I’ve gathered thus far, when it comes to creating art, we have a similar thought process, which is the storytelling approach that I’ve been talking about.

There is a reason. Yup. And I felt it. From the moment he told us that this was “the last archive of my twenties” and then when he went even in more depth and explained that this was the period “from him being 26 to 29”, made even more sense why it felt like the 10 tracks seemed to be a natural progression with Yun being a Prologue and No.2 being an Epilogue to this chapter in his life.

If you watch RM 'Indigo' Album Magazine Film he indeed goes very much in depth, and does confirm and explain about the times and ages of when he wrote some of the songs. If you think about it, his twenties began when they debuted in 2013 and up to circa 2016, all they had been doing, saying and singing was more or less a reflection of the people they were and they hoped to become; and then entered WINGS. The Wings Era was probably the first time they noticed that the face they saw in the more wasn’t themselves but some sort of mask.

This song being “Wild Flower”, basically Namjoon has been struggling for the majority of his 20s and no thanks to COVID. 2018, they survived disbandment. 2019, was supposed to be the beginning of their Chapter 2. Come 2020, the world would halt and he would have to keep living with this emotion, added to new ones, until now, 2022.

And oh I find it so fitting that the person who produced (and co-wrote) “Wild Flower” is DOCSKIM, the same producer for “Lie” and “Outro: Tear”. It really makes so much sense.

And can you imagine being the reason for another artist to not give up art? I mean! This man is the reason why Jimin could give a voice to his turmoil and our rapline could put their suffering to bed. He is a genius to me! Yet, he is human and like a flower he needed some water, among the many things, to keep flourishing, same as Namjoon, same as me, same as you.

Namjoon proceeds by saying that he wrote frog_tful at the age of 26, so in 2019. The whole conversation with him and Kim Sawol was so interesting and insightful. That aside, what really stood out for me is him mentioning and drilling in the fact that he has close friends, who aren’t the members. I do feel that sometimes this fandom has the notion that the members, except for Tae, only have each other. In reality, Jin aside, they all seem to have quite the big circle of close friends, famous and not.

This to once again underline just how much we don’t know about their personal lives or just themselves as a whole. But isn’t this great?! Isn’t it great that somehow unbeknownst to us they still try their best to live, love and learn? This is literally what this album is about: The chronicles of Kim Namjoon’s living, loving and learning stories 2019-2022, and some.

And amongst many other points (such as him hating hotel rooms) another point that was stressed in this album was that “Things change. People change. Everything change”. Yes. He did change and keeps changing. Who doesn’t? That is a direct reaction from the action of living. It’s the result of allowing yourself to love, and be loved and just as well as to hurt and be hurt. And after all that, there is always a lesson to be learned; now whether you attend that class or not, it’s entirely up to you. All shade, lately I’ve been strongly feeling that some ARMY could indeed use a closer look to the lyrics of this song, matter of fact, the entire album … jussayin.

“You can’t love someone like I do. That’s all I can say to you”. Guess what? The same goes for everyone on this planet and this just seems to get lost in translation every fucking time. Don’t pardon my French. Love, love, love; can’t live with it, can’t live without it. There is a particular person in my family that keeps not understanding how much I love them, I'm pretty sure they think I don’t: how am I supposed to come out to them and have them understand the way I love when they don’t seem to understand even the basic form of it?

Yeah … I hope people understand how hard it is to live trapped in a room with your own Truth, constantly begging you to let them be free. “Set the Truth free and the truth will set you free” so they say, some heavy ass catch 22 uh? Honestly, I could go on and on and on talking about this album. In conclusion, I have been waiting for an album like this. Something that would keep me and my Truth company while we try to figure things out through all those times.

Always respectfully yours 🫰🏾💙,

Marengo.

I promise I have forgotten of WWH, I just needed this to be out before I tried to catch some more sleep.

4, 11, and 14!

Ah, okay so here it goes:

4. What character has your opinion on changed the most?

Hm, that's a bit tricky, considering all of them have grown so much in the series-- even some of the more minor characters! But i'd have to say Butters or Kyle.

My reasoning for Butters comes from his overall presentation of his character. Towards the very beginning of SP, it was quite obvious that Butters was more of the naive type, and he was more easy-going and trusting of others. Alot of people will say that he's "stupid", but I personally don't think so because while he doesn't always understand half the shit that is being implied, he's got these really ingenious ideas and is super creative, which makes me believe it's more of an overly-sheltered naivety than it is him actually being dumb. It's also possibly that naivety comes from a place of abuse as he didn't (doesn't) understand boundaries and when people are mistreating him vs. protecting him. His parents are abusive with how they parent weather intentionally or now, and it's common/likely for kids who experience this type of parenting (trauma) from an early age to either be incredibly oppositional to authority figures/peers/etc. or be overly-dependant on others. In both cases, there is a lack of boundaries and an inability to see/understand when others mean harm vs. help, which I think is why he's not particularly dumb. This also goes along with why I believe he's changed. Around S6 is when he started to become more aware of others intentions and began to be more oppositional towards others. He created an alter-ego for himself -Professor Chaos- in my opinion not as a way to actually "cause mayhem" in a seeking of revenge, but actually as a way to seperate himself from the "bad guy" aka oppositional behaviors he has that he'd know would get him into trouble with his parents (who again, intentionally or not are abusive) vs. his co-dependant self and behaviors that are less likely to get him in trouble. TFBW put a stop to the alter-ego in general: not only because Butters most likely realized that it wasn't a proper separation attempt after his dad grounded him, but also because TFBW release ended the superhero/supervillian arcs as it was the final conclusion to the kids games (plus Matt and Trey probably wanted to work on new projects for SP). In more recent seasons (s19-current), while he still can be somewhat naive he's also become more increasingly aware of others bad intentions and when someone wants to harm vs. help you. In the episodes "Weiner's Out" and "Going Native" he is actively more cognizant of others intentions and motives (and his own), as well as goes from being more naive/co-dependant to more oppositional in character and does switch-offs between the two. He's actually pretty complex, which is interesting as he's not a main character and seems to have only start off as a side/comic relief character. And with the "Post-Covid Special", seeing the intelligent and creative but morally/mentally/emotionally conflicted Victor Chaos proves these points, but also shows he has a lot more growth to do as a character in show-- which I find super exciting.

My reasoning for Kyle comes from more recent seasons. While yes, Kyle's character has been steadily developing since the very beginning of the show, mainly due to him being a main character, in the more recent seasons (s19-current) that growth/change has skyrocketed. While Kyle has always had good morals/values, he's sometimes struggled with understanding the grey-areas or good v. bad when it comes to situations these morals/values come into play since the very beginning of the show (which is typical for a young child, hence the "I learned something today" bit he'd say towards the end of episodes). He also was always quick to rile-up where Cartman was concerned, but it was never unreasonable and was very specific to the situation and was an understandable reaction to Cartman's being an ah. Something I've noticed though is that since s19 he's been struggling in almost every episode with being unable to see grey-areas of situatuions, and he tends to put everything into a very black-and-white viewpoint. His judgement of situations seems to be lacking more often then not-- especially morally, going against his own values sometimes with his actions/behaviors. He then goes and tries to convince others (and himself) that he's making the right choices but logic doesn't always make sense or his reasoning isn't normal for the situation. He's also more easily agitated/anxious and is increasingly emotionally volatile not just towards Cartman, but even towards Stan and Kenny. I actual have a rant-ish post from yesterday that anyone can check out, that has a bit of why I think what I'm going to say next, as well as I can definitely give more explanation and reasoning if asked, but I genuinely think Kyle's struggling with untreated mental illness or (more likely) is showing early warning signs of it as he's still (technically) a child. Specifically, I think possibly BPD/Bipolar 2 or something along those lines (as well as OCD, for other reasons I'm not listing here) but it's concerning the rapid change in character and just how conflicted he is. Clearly in the show, it's bothering him that he's not making cognizant choices as he constantly is seeking approval from others (specifically Stan) and is uneasy when people point out the flaws in that logic trying to figure out why it doesn't make sense to them when it makes perfect sense in the moment to him. It's the same with the emotional dysregulation as it's a direct correlation to his lack of moral judgement/reasoning. Of course, I could be reading may too much into this and this is just him growing up and having more difficulties because he's entering prepubensce in the show just like all the main characters (also, I might be projecting w/o realizing it), but because South Park is on a weird, outstretched timeline (which makes the kids more mature than if they where irl people letting them go through/create more adult situations as well as because they're cartoons anything can fucking happen -within context- so it makes it super plausible that a 10 y.o. cartoon character could develop/be diagnosed with mental illness-- also because the kids have been seen all grown up in Post-Covid Special it gives the fandom flexibility to age up or play with future context for characters but that's a completely different unrelated conversation) I wouldn't count it out because of that. But again, I briefly explain my reasoning about why I think this in another post you cn look at or you can ask for more detail.

11. What ship was your first favorite? How do you feel about it now?

My first favourite ship was Bunny (ButtersxKenny). I obviously still have my user for this blog as a comemeration to it, as it was the ship that got me interested in SP (again) in the first place. I wasn't really a big fan of South Park growing up -only watched it every once in a while- but I did have a favourite character (two, actually) and it happened to be Butters (and Kenny). Back in 2018 a friend of mine was re-watching some South Park episodes after I finished up with the dance club (I was a junior in hs and had just taken over for my friend b/c she couldn't run it anymore-- school clubs where runned/hosted by students since it wasn't a traditional hs) and he asked if I wanted to watch with him and I agreed because I like it and was bored. Well, the episode he was watching happened to be "Going Native" and I pretty much just... attached myself to it. Instantly started watching SP everyday, figuring out what i'd missed, and Bunny became my favourite because there was an actual ship for my two favourite characters and "Going Native" was essentially a Bunny episode-- they weren't "together" but mfer it seemed like it and I'm sticking to that.

Anyways, as I started re-watching things from the beginning and then newer seasons I 2019, I started shifting my favourite ship to Style because:

Kyle is my favourite character now and thus every ship involving Kyle (besides Kyman-- nothing against it personally, if you love it that's great and more power to you, but I was deeply traumatized as a child and also had a shit-experiance with a boy I liked who was similar in personality to Cartman which lead to a physical assult by him and his friends when I was 11 and his main justification was I was a "stupid, filthy jew" who "needed to learn his place and shut his mouth" so that makes it hard for me to appreciate the ship on any level. Again, if you ship it more power to you, I don't have ill-will towards you or the ship as it's a valid ship and your like towards it is valid, I just personally have hesitation with shipping something like that.

Stan and Kyle just have this dynamic that makes it so, so easy to blur the lines between friend/lover. It makes it always seem like they love each other-- like their more to their relationship and the fact that I can prove these things with facts/reasons/events/situations between them and not just theories/headcanons makes me so much more invested.

I'm a sucker for the bestfriends-to-lovers trope. Maybe it's cause i'm homoromatic demisexual and can't/won't be intimate unless said dude is deeply connected to me emotionally which usually only happens when they're on the staus of close/best friend and can't see it working any other way, or the fact i'm a bit romantic in the sense that I want the love to always last forever and have a idealic sense that if i'm with someone I consider my best friend it'll last forever. Whatever the case, Style/Stanky fits this box and thus has become my absolute favourite SP ship.

Obviously, Bunny is still on my top 3 list but it's not my "favourite" anymore.

14. You get to pick one minor character to have a spinoff devoted to them. Who is it?

Okay, so while Butters is technically not a main character he's not a minor character either as he's prominent in the show so he's out (but i'd pick him if it was an option). I would say probably Leslie or Heidi.

I would pick Leslie because I need to know how she became an AI, how she got to South Park, what the fuck happened to original Leslie, and why tf she pick Kyle to prey on? LIke I know that she also was trying to use Jimmy, but she eventually just went with Kyle and I need to know what was it about him (and Jimmy too)? Some of this is kinda explained briefly at the end of the episode but it's not-- it's not enough for me. I need to have a more definitive explanation and a mini-spinoff would do that.

I would also be cool with a mini-spinoff for Heidi because she wasn't okay. Not just when she was dating Cartman but before that. He chose Heidi because she was vunerable-- that's what abusers (weather they know they are abusing others or not) do. They choose people who are vulnerable emotionally, mentally or physically as a way of controlling someone-- it's easier to do if that person is more vulnerable in some aspect of their life. So I need to know why or what made her so vulnerable, made her attracted to him, etc. as well as why tf her friends threw her under the bus so fast-- like, even if she went with Cartman and wasn't listening to them telling her it was a shit idea I can't imagine the girls just abandoning her like that so quickly. It's odd af. For the boys it's more understandable as they weren't close and are used to Cartman being abusive so it doesn't seem like a big deal (except Kyle who fucking saw it or what it was-- I have theories about why and NONE of them are about him liking Heidi), but the girls? It's off and I know it's fast plot since it was only a season dedicated to it but it just wasn't fully explained from Heidi's standpoint and i'd like to know more more in depth than what was told in s20-21. I also want to know how Heidi is doing now and what's going on with her friendships since they completely disappeared her character after that. She's my favorite SP girl so I'd just like some more updates/info on her and who she is/was before and after. It'd give me closure tbh.

Oh god I made this long af i'm so sorry 😬😭
