Other news from the BL world

❗️ The production company Studio WabiSabi announced that their actors Boun N., Prem W., Santa P., Sammy C., Yacht P. and Stamp P. have terminated their contracts and will no longer be artists under the company on April 15th. Shortly after, GMMTV announced the 6 of them as newly signed artists, along with the disclosure that BounPrem's upcoming BL Vampire Project is now being produced under GMMTV, who now also own all broadcasting rights; WabiSabi will function as a co-producer. New S. stated on Twitter that the decisions had been long in the making, as well as the fact that WabiSabi no longer functions as a management agency for actors and is now a mere production company. He also denied the rumors that the company is shutting down. Shortly after the transfer of the Wabi Sabi actors, actor Fluke Jeeratch (formerly Pongsakorn) joined GMMTV as well.

❗️ After some confusion, the Korean production company Studio X+U announced that their upcoming series Fragile - which was initially advertized as a Korean SKAM remake - is in fact not connected to the Norwegian web series and is instead a standalone series, which focuses on the life of a group of teenagers. According to ZUM News, there was supposed to be a Korean SKAM remake based on the Norwegian original, which was however cancelled due to unknown reasons. Fragile was created as a substitution.

I feel like now is a good time to announce that I’m in the process of moving blogs! Im doing so for a few reasons, the main one being paranoia, so for that reason I won’t be saying my new urls publicly so like please dm me if you’d like my new url so you can follow me there! I’ll be reblogging this post a lot so ppl can see it (so sorry if you get annoyed by that)!

I’m also remaking my discord account as well so if we’re friends on there then feel free to message me for my new username!

friends and mutuals please do reblog so shared friends/mutuals have a higher chance seeing it!

#whimsy whispers #I’m just like ahdjfjjg #I’ve been considering remaking blogs for a few years now (as some of you may know) and like simply changing urls isn’t enough #no matter how many times I chnage urls the paranoia won’t go away and I think that starting a new blog is the best choice #idk what to do if my newest blog gets found by the ppl I’m paranoid about like idk the odds of that are low (I hope) alas I’m still anxious #about it #for some slight context: I’ve had several people now pop up in my life pretending to be other people/several people and while I’ve blocked #then on every social media account I interacted with them in im still paranoid about them lurking #and then like there’s other reasons to remake as well #I’m tired of this blog like I love it it’s been fun but I think starting over will be nice #tbh this is the longest I’ve had a blog without remaking I usually remake accounts every so often #I don’t intend to remake my next blog like at all but like agdhjfjg I have a habit of getting bored of accounts and staring over (usually #this applies to art accounts like y’all wouldn’t believe how many deviantart accounts I’ve had) #uhhhh idk I’ve been rambling for too long #I have this in drafts rn but you should be seeing this post soon

The huge irony in The Little Mermaid (1989) essentially being about a teenage girl who desired to be understood by those around her, so she went to a drastically different society in order to achieve that, and it's one of the most misunderstood movies that Disney has ever released. Disney Princess movies already get a bad rap, but this movie, in particular, gets the worst of it. It's truly amazing.

#disney #the little mermaid #meta #disney meta #txt #the reputation this movie has earned thanks to the pretentious dipshits who tore this movie apart for no good reason led to the stupid #useless changes in the dreadful remake #ariel never left her family or the ocean just for a boy she already longed to be a part of the human world #she had a WHOLE SONG about it well before she even laid eyes on him. jesus christ #eric was the catalyst. he was the final piece that united everything #he was like the bridge in this movie. he is a representation of the beauty (literal and figurative) ariel sees in humanity #but she also views him as someone who can understand her. that was the point of his character and the remake did not understand this #listen i know a lot of you are more into the “spiritual twin” kind of couple and that's fine #but they didn't have to have EVERYTHING in common in order for them to like each other #the point of their relationship is that they were indeed from different worlds (again literal and figurative) but he still seemed so close #to her #that was the purpose of his character. the final push for ariel to say “i'm gonna take the risk and go there” #it was about her wanting to be understood and that is precisely what eric provided #the new version just turned him into the male version of ariel which minimizes the point of his character #that's why their way of showing that he would definitely understand her but considering how ariel viewed the human world #she wouldn't have been as excited then lmao #if anything it'd been more logical for her to take eric away from there lmao #i went off tangent #but yes it wasn't just him tho he became a part of that desire. the piece that was missing. the final push

My hottest goofiest most tumblr brain take is that genuinely most if not all media would be better if it was animated

#Like idk like a lot of movies are...already animated because of the massive use of cgi we just dont call them that #And the blend of live action and cgi just looks so bad to me and it always ages badly because no one cares how bad mixed media looks if #Youre not intentionally doing it for a reason thats not just exploiting non union labor #Plus advances in technology but its also like idk #Like its never gonna look as good as a fully animated movie even if the animation aged like #Obviously im biased im a little animation guy its just like idk we do rly need more adult animation because to me its just idk the best med #And you can make some insane looking stuff with animation and keep a more cohesive tone and visual style like #Like idk you cant make live action akira to me but you could make an animated the matrix...you could even call it the animatrix hey wait #Like idk in an ideal world we would be doing animated remakes of shit instead of the other way around or no remakes obviously #Anyways i am exaggerating but also idk geniunely animation is a medium that has so much to offer and idk it just doesnt get explored in th #Way i want very often especially now as 2d animation is being phased out for 3d animation which i support but well...not when again its jus #Because its cheaper #Anyways this is all to say im excited to see just how badly live action netflix one piece crashes and burns

Maybe it's because I've been playing these two games back to back recently, but not only does Lilith look like Kalos Pokemon to me, she looks like a one that Diantha could've used in her team.

Like. They'd go surprsingly well together.

#personal thoughts #pokemon #pokemon xy #pkmn xy #champion diantha #fire emblem #fire emblem fates #fe fates #fe14 #fe lilith #i've already talked of a pkmn character feeling like a fe character (give wally pointy ears & boom! boy is a manakete)... #... might as well go other way around as well #seriously that girls fishy tiktaalik ass dragon design really gives me pkmn feels #seeing dragon lilith next to pikachu or any other pkmn somehow feels more natural than seeing her next to dragon corrin #& while i dont hate it every time i look at i think that crimes were committed when it was created #as if loki & circe beaker committed science crimes with horses & deer & bats & lizards & various insects in an underground lab to create it #& then put in mewtwo armor because fuck it that's why #also its stupid feet remind me of chalicotheriums. one of my least favorite extinct animals so thats a minus #but back to pkmn a dragon like lilith wouldve definitely felt more natural in dianthas team over tyrantrum #and before anyone says something about the theme her team has - I KNOW. I DONT GIVE A SHIT. IT WAS COMMUNICATED POORLY TO AUDIENCE #that theme might as well not exist for that reason. as if stealing the manakete boys signature pkmn wasnt enough she does this as well #uuuuuuuuuugghh xy was such a waste of potential & i hope legends z does something interesting with kalos #like diantha may be beyond fixing (until xy remake that is) but surely her ancestor(s)/descendant(s) could be better...? i hope? #tldr ash ketchum should be the one feeding lilith rice balls

Google how do make game run good on okay-ish pc

#rant #i can stomach games playing at 20 fps but i wish robocop game would hit at least 30 like #idk i have my settings all on low like i dont know why its chugging so hard. maybe letting it chill overnight will fix it <cope #also re4 remake runs really good on my pc. meanwhile re2 remake and re7 (sometimes) do not so i actually dunno what the problem is #like my specs have to be decent right its a prebuilt idk exactly what i have but if re4 remake can do it well why cant other games? #im also just really bad at first person aiming so im struggling to play robocop for that reason but i think thats a skill issue and my fault

to be clear I love the champion point system bc it's a fun spin on the MMO-standard of raising the overall level cap and it's nice to have something with actual effects on my character to progress on (the much, much faster leveling at veteran rank doesn't make it a slog either, and it's obviously something you're meant to gain passively doing what you were normally doing) even after the 'soft' level cap and gear stat cap and doesn't make me feel like I'm wasting exp doing things like questing, world bosses, delves, etc bc technically I'm still leveling.

but tbh the main reason I like it is bc they had the genuinely good idea to make cp points a) account-wide and b) usable by every character on the account even if they're not high enough level to actually level cps themselves, and I like that you're tacitly rewarded not just for doing things on your main but for having alts and having them at max level bc every cp level makes every single one of your characters stronger even at level 1.

#saint.txt #long post #a good example to contrast ig is ff.xiv #which VERY strongly does not want you to have alts. everything abt it is designed so that you don't need to. #you can replay the story whenever you want - no need to remake a character. #the class system is designed so that one character has free access to every job that you can switch between #freely at any time and even your gear is shared between different classes. #so you don't need to make multiple characters to test out that job that looks cool which is a blessing and a curse #bc imo trying new classes or builds is a major reason for why you make alts. #great if you're a raider or smth or just don't like juggling multiple characters bc everything is convenient! I love it for that #but ff.xiv's system SUCKS if you're say. an avid RPer or just someone who likes to make alts and level them through content #or just someone who likes to make multiple characters for literally any reason. #want to try playing a different player race? well your options are make an alt and spend no joke at least like #a hundred+ hours getting them caught up to your main #....or spend real money and buy a fantasia or a level skip. all of which suck. #or most other MMOs are like. we want you to get to max level asap. but once you do that's kinda just it. you have an alt that sits there #masteries in g.w2 are similar and it's why I like those too. but eso's lasts a lot longer than masteries #I think the alt problem in MMOs is kinda unsolvable tbh pretty much no matter what you do the bigger #an MMO gets the more tedious the leveling process of alts goes when you don't have the novelty of new content #and learning new systems to distract you but I like that ESO rewards you for trying by making your alts much much much #stronger and more effective which makes everything faster w/ champion points #and that if your alts are at max level you can still make meaningful progress on them for your main #idk. am I making sense here

[nagweon]

i've decided that in modern verse, byan & si-u share a room in the group home they both live in. they definitely have some issues but, because si-u doesn't snitch when byan comes home late, drinks, smokes, etc., it's still the most agreeable byan has ever been with a roommate.

the main reason si-u doesn't snitch is that he's afraid of what byan will do if he does. however, they do also share some of the snacks they steal with him, which is pretty decent encouragement to keep his mouth shut.

#for some reason I've always been so hesitant about linking their stories but idk why??? #it literally makes sense for them to share some connection both in their original setting & in their modern verses #so I'm just going for it now lmao #tbh they've probably known each other since byan was like 8 & si-u was 6 #they've known each other for a loooong time #and in a way they're probably kind of like siblings. just... ones who don't really get along super well. #every now and then they have a bonding moment where they have fun in each other's company #but for the most part they kinda just exist in the same space and aren't really friends but don't hate each other either #....VERY different from their dynamic in the undercity setting #IDK I'VE JUST BEEN THINKING ABOUT THEM A LOT OKAY the multi remake has really got my brain buzzing #( si u ) / * headcanon . #( si u ) / * verse: modern .

[bloop-18]

out of all the isak seasons in skam, aside from the og druck is the one i find the most ‘realistic’ or ‘relatable’ and don’t know exactly how to explain it. despite having not watched any of the other seasons from this remake it’s the one that resonates the most to me; feel the most down to earth in a way

#like the og feels this way as well but more druck for some reason #idk whether it’s because it has a lack of grandeur compared to the others that grounds it is some way #but either way i really like this remakes season #maybe because of how down to earth mattel is as well #i’m rewatching it again now #for like the third time #skam #skam season 3 #skam druck #druck matteo #druck season 3 #druck serie

When you posted about twst not having the same foods it made my brain go... "what if their bf really tried to recreate the food based on description only"

Imagine Azul toiling away in the kitchen trying to re-create Bugals from scratch

Jade testing out different combinations of potions to recreate coca cola

Floyd trying to make the grandma candy that taste like strawberries

Jamil fighting with spices to make hot cheetos

Trey baking Twinkees and oatmeal cream pies

Lilia trying to make Macdonald fries but just creating poison

They all understand how food can help with homesickness and they want to do everything they can to help, even if it is trying to make something they have never had before

The ultimate love language is devoting time, money, and materials to recreated your lover's favorite foods. In our world, this could be going to your partner's parents or grandparents to learn their family recipe for a dish, cookie, drink, etc. Or it could be trying to look up a dish that they had growing up, but can't remember. Or maybe it's a cultural dish from their home country that they loved but haven't been able to have because the ingredients are available nearby. Painstakingly measuring, making, tasting, failing and failing over and over again to get it just right. Love is the ultimate love language.

So I think it's beautiful to imagine Azul trying to recreate your favorite dish based solely how you described how it looked, smelled, and tasted. Making the lounge's kitchen a mess until he can get it just right.

Trey calling his parents to describe the sweet treats and cookies you described. They're digging through their recipes so that he can combine and take what he needs to recreate them.

Jade has full confidence in his potion making skills, yet is dumped when you can only describe your favorite soda as "sugary and fizzy." He racks his brain over and over, taste testing the concoctions himself until he's positive they won't poison you, then bringing you into his little sessions to remake your favorite soda together.

Jamil, familiar with some spices and chilies you describe, but the others sound so otherworldly, messing around with the ingredients he's familiar with to make your favorite foods and snacks. He knows they'll never be the same, but that he they are good enough for you to want to stay.

Floyd is nothing if not determined. If he can't make you that candy you love so much, he's going into the ends of the earth to find you his world' equivalent. Don't question how he managed to get over a hundred different candies, some incredibly rare, others expensive as hell. His father has connections and money, it's nothing to spend on you.

And Lilia…well. He means well. It might be better to let him watch you make some of your favorite dishes, as well as you can when you're missing ingredients. He can watch and slowly start to understand, as you burn and hiss from the splattering oil, why food is a love language for humans too.

Food is a timeless love language. If it doesn't mean time and effort, it means money and sharing an experience that makes you happy. It's shared by nearly every culture, in your world and theirs, for a reason. Love is giving food when you're poor, love is the cuts and burns on your hands and arms, love is in the taste on your tongue, love is the smell you wake up to. Love is the effort, the time, the care. Love is food. And they love you.

#i really love food and the effort it takes to make something for someone you love #how else do you respond when someone's hands have carefully crafted something in the hopes that it's something that you'll love? #mochi asks #twst #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland x reader #twst x reader #jade leech x reader #floyd leech x reader #azul ashengrotto x reader #trey clover x reader #jamil viper x reader #lilia vanrouge x reader #jade leech #floyd leech #azul ashengrotto #trey clover #jamil viper #lilia vanrouge #cyn write

[emmettworld]

if you follow me, please read.

the mass reporting has started up again (combined, obviously, with the anon hate), and it's only a matter of time before this blog is taken down too. so someone on my server helped me come up with what seems to be the best solution.

two things:

i am moving to a new main blog. this one will be privated, not deleted, and only i will be able to access it. on the new main blog, i will only be posting SFW content, nothing that could be reported unless someone is filing a false or malicious report.

i am creating a password protected blog where i will only post NSFW content, including the type that i'm being targeted for. this blog will not appear in search results unless you are following me (so it WILL be marked as Mature), and only people with the password can access it.

believe me, i hate doing this so soon after remaking. but yall have seen where this is going and i need to act now before i lose everything again.

i will drop the link to the new main blog on here. there's no point in trying to keep it private since i'm going to be posting SFW content in the tags.

for all those who are disgusted by me and still reading this for some reason, just block that blog when you see the link.

i will ONLY give out the password to the NSFW blog to people i know and trust. if you would like access to the NSFW blog, leave a 👁️ in the replies on this post.

i wish i could just give it out to everyone, but at this point, i have to suspect that someone is hate following me and would ask for the link -- and if i just give it out willy nilly, i could end up with the same problem again.

i will go through the replies on this post periodically and DM whoever i know/trust well enough. if i can't DM you, i will try to @ you and ask for you to turn DMs on. if i can't @ you, i don't have any other way.

let's hope this is the last time, yall. let's hope this is the one.

EDIT: *NEW* NEW MAIN BLOG IS EMMETTLAND ! I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW DMING TOO MANY PEOPLE AT ONCE WOULD GET THE WHOLE ACCOUNT FLAGGED AS SPAM 😭

if u followed my private blog i will reach out to u with the new blog (same password) and if u haven't been able to follow it yet, just wait until i can reach out. I HAVE TO BE *VERY* CAREFUL ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE I DM AND HOW QUICKLY...

[whimsyprinx]

i do feel like my server is just quickly dying which is no one’s fault it’s just like, darn guess another one died

#whimsy whispers #and it will be hopefully the last one to die because of it dies for realsies I don’t think I’ll make another one #the reason I’ve made so many is that every time someone ends up being a garbage person I just remake servers (don’t ask why because idk) #and this one isn’t dying for that reason like no one is bad or anything #it’s just like noticeably people don’t talk very much to each other or in general and like I can’t make anyone be more active obvs #it’s just like how it is #i also think I just have a tendency to befriend people who otherwise wouldn’t talk to each other much if they weren’t shoved into a server #by me #actually I know this is true as I’ve been told so by a few people #it’s been like this for so long I need to ahdjfjr stop being one of the sole reasons why people even talk to each other #i think I may delete/archive the server once 2023 starts if it remains the same #i also understand there’s not a lot of people in the server #like that’s largely due to the fact that I’m personally not good with bigger servers as well as trying to minimize befriending ppl who end #up being trash #and also because I don’t add people unless everyone in the server is comfortable with it #dare I say we’re cliquey /j #or like half a joke like idk about the majority of y’all but i know myself and at least two others are cliquey

[glassartpeasants]

I was doing a writing warm-up and made this piece. I kinda like it and might make a fic series about it if anyone is interested. Also, I call Kid 'Eustass' in this because it felt right for some reason?

Eustass Kid/ Trafalgar Law x F!Reader

warnings: Angst, small amount of blood, cheating, slut shaming maybe? Modern Au

~~~

“Does he think I’m a fucking idiot?! Does he think I can’t see the way his eyes follow girls’ asses as they walk by?” Gripping the edge of the bathroom sink, you struggle to hold back tears as you talk to your best friend on the other line.

“What am I doing wrong (....)? I’ve done everything right! I gave him all of me, and he’s out here eyeing other women!”

“That’s just the way he is (Y/N). I tried to warn you about him. You can’t change someone who doesn’t want to change.” You bite your lip as your body shakes. Emotion overwhelmed you to the point you could no longer hold back tears.

“I don’t understand. He told me he loved me and that he couldn’t imagine a life without me. He made me a matching ring to his. He promised me that his playboy days were over…”

“Well, if he’s staring at other girls, then obviously he broke his promise.”

~~~

You're feeling a lot more numb than you thought you would. At first, you thought you’d be yelling, crying, and screaming. Asking him why? But now that you're actually hearing his moans along with an unknown woman's echoing in your shared bedroom, no tears fall from your eyes. 

Maybe your heart and mind were mentally and emotionally ready for this. There were many signs he was starting to stray. Staring at other women, no longer being affectionate in public, you even saw him take off his ring once. He hasn’t done it again, but that was the last straw your heart could take when you tried to ignore the signs.

You should've known it’d end like this. He’s been a fuck boy all throughout high school and college. Slithering his way into vulnerable hearts and crushing them without a care about the people he’s heart. How you’ve been friends with him for so long and knowing what he was doing was something you criticized yourself for. 

While you weren’t best friends during high school and college, you both always had a class together. The two of you just ended up talking during each of them. Well, him hitting on you and you always telling him that you rather swim in hell’s flames than get with him. All throughout high school and college, he’d do this. In a way, you said no to avenge all the hearts he’s broken. But once college started, you accidentally started growing feelings for the idiot. Yet, you still said no until graduation day. He came up to you with a bouquet of roses made of metal that he made in shop class. Every rose was made individually, letting you pluck one out and hold it in your hands. Everyone in said class said he’d been working on it forever. Throwing away and remaking it more times than anyone could count. All to make sure it was perfect. It was then that you finally said yes. No one had done anything so thoughtful for you before. 

But when you told your best friend the news, she wasn’t happy.

“What?!”

“Listen, I know it sounds stupid-”

“That’s because it is stupid (Y/N)! We both know his past and how he still was before you agreed to go out with him! How are you sure he isn’t gonna do the same shit to you?!”

“He’s been asking me for years and actually made me this metal bouquet of flowers. Aren’t they beautiful, though?” Showing her the flowers, you watch her sigh. 

“What happens when he breaks your heart? What will you do then?” You were silent as you looked away from her. Her hands go to your shoulders, and it makes you look at her. 

“I just don’t want you crying over someone like him. I’m just worried about you, okay?”

“I know. Thank you for watching out for me. I’m going to give him a chance. Maybe he’s ready to grow up? But if I get my heart broken. Then you’ll get to say, ‘I told you so’.” Laughing at the last part, you pull (.....) into a hug and enjoy how you could always rely on her to be by your side.

Your eyes caught the metal bouquet on the kitchen table. The sun hit it just right to where it shined in your eyes. Furrowing your brows, an immediate disgust came over you as you looked at them. The one thing that had you thinking he’d changed was laughing at you and calling you a fool for falling for it.

Turning away from the bedroom door, you carefully and quietly walked to the metal sculpture. You pull one of the roses out from the vase they resided in and look at it. You twirled it with your fingers before gripping it tightly. Using your other hand, you encase the metal rosebud with the palm of your hand before twisting it harshly. 

The sharp metal cut into your hand as you ripped off the rose head. A small hiss escaped you, yet you continued. Putting down the first destroyed rose, you move on to the second one. Then the third, fourth, fifth, until every single rose had been ripped apart. By the time you were finished, the stems of the flowers were scattered across the kitchen table, as well as the blood-covered roses. A good representation of a broken heart if you say so.

You could still hear the moans coming from the bedroom, and the more you listened and paid attention, the more you swore you recognized the tone of voice. Tip-toeing to the door, you place your ear against the wood. Taking a few seconds, you listen carefully to try to pinpoint who it could be.

“Eustass~”

As soon as the words were heard, you felt your world shatter. That was (.....)’s voice. That was (.....) in there fucking your boyfriend. And your boyfriend was cheating on you with your best friend. The two people you cared about the most stabbing you in the back. It’s even worse knowing that (.....) was cheating on her own boyfriend, Trafalgar Law. The smartest person you’ve ever met. He was valedictorian in high school and had the highest grades in college. He's now a world known respected doctor who’s saved so many lives. Everything he’s done, and this is what happens to him? How could Eustass and (.....) pull this on you and Law?

A rage washed over you as soon as you heard her moan his name again. Grabbing your phone from your pocket, you unlock it and call Law. You thankfully had his number after a project you guys did together a month before college ended, and you just never remembered to delete it. 

“Come on, Law. Pick up.” Whispering, you cross your fingers.

“(Y/N)-ya? Why are you-”

“I really need you to stay on the line, okay? I’m going to facetime you now, alright?”

“What? Why? (Y/N)-ya, I have to go back to work-”

“(.....)’s cheating on you with my boyfriend right now as we speak. Don’t believe me? Listen!” You put your phone against the door, and all you heard was silence on Law’s side of the phone. A groan of (.....)’s name leaving Eustass’s mouth finally made you snap.

“That’s it!” Busting open the door, your met with a half-naked Eustass and a very naked (.....).

“Shit (Y/N)!”

“(Y/N)! It’s not what it looks like!” Clutching your phone tightly in your hand, you finally feel your anger bubble over.

“Don’t pull that shit with me! If your gonna be a backstabbing whore at least admit it! Fucking my boyfriend?! The boyfriend you hated?! Did you just want to fuck him the whole time?! How long has this been going on?!” You watched as (.....) scrambled to get her clothes on, and Eustass pushed his dick back in his pants.

“This is the only time it’s happened, I swear!”

“This is all an accident (Y/N), okay? I promise-”

“Oh, so your dick accidentally found its way into her? I don’t believe that for a second! And don’t tell me about your bullshit promises!” You can feel the cut on your hand finally start to sting as blood starts to puddle against the floor. The cut must have been much deeper than you originally thought.

“You're bleeding! (Y/N) are you okay?!-”

“Oh, don’t act like you care (.....)! If you actually cared, you wouldn’t be fucking my boyfriend in my bed! If you actually had a fucking heart, you wouldn’t have cheated on Law either!” The mention of Law's name has a look of horror appear on (.....)'s face.

“Please don’t tell him (Y/N)! I love him, and I don’t want him to leave me!”

“I’m breaking up with you.” (.....)’s face dropped when she realized Law heard everything. Tears start pouring down her face.

“That makes two of us.” You take off the ring Eustass gave you before walking over to (.....) Plopping it into her hand, you look at her with hatred and a disgusted smile.

“Obviously, this was meant for you since he loves you so much he can’t stop saying your name.” You grab the bag you left by the bedroom door before turning around and start to collect things around the apartment that you need.

“I’ll make sure to tell the landlord that my name’s off the lease and that I’ll gather my things tomorrow morning.” Holding everything you could gather at the moment, you make your way to the front door.

“Where do you think you're going?!” You feel Eustass grab your wrist and bring you closer to him. Looking into his eyes, you see panic, fear, and anger swirling around in them. 

“Leaving, obviously! I’m not gonna stay and shatter my heart more after seeing a man I loved, wanted to marry even, fucking my now ex-best friend.” The panic grew more evident as he pulled you to his chest. Both arms wrapped around you so you couldn’t leave.

“You can’t leave, alright! I know I fucked up, but please, let’s talk about this. She means nothing to me! She’s just some slut-”

“A slut you fucked knowing you were taken.” Tears started spilling from your eyes as you felt him hold you closer. 

“Why? Why would you do this to me? Why’d you say you loved me when you out fucking my best friend? How dare you hold me close and act like the stench of sex and her perfume isn’t surrounding you?”

“I’m outside in the car (Y/N).” Hearing Law’s voice shocked you as you remember you never hung up on him. He was so quiet, and you heard nothing on the other side of the line. Having him even show up was surprising, but you weren’t gonna throw away this opportunity to get away from Eustass and (.....). 

“Alright, be right there-”

“No, she won’t! Fuck off, Trafalgar, and take your bitch with you!” Eustass grabbed your phone and hung up before throwing your phone on the couch.

“Eustass! Are you-” You feel one of his hands push your head to his. His lips met yours, and you could feel the urgency in his kisses.

“Please don’t…leave me…” Kissing your between words only had your heart shattering more. How could he kiss you like he loves you after pulling a stunt like this?

It took almost everything inside you not to dig your fingers into his hair and kiss him back. You wanted it all to be a dream and that when you woke up, you’d be sleeping against his chest. 

Putting your hand against his bare chest, you feel his bare skin against your open wound. It made him pull away from his panicked kisses when he felt your bloody hand on his chest.

“Jesus (Y/N)! What happened?!”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“Stay here, I’m grabbing bandages!” Letting you go, you see him rush to the bathroom. Taking this chance, you grab your phone and start running out the door. Anything you can carry in tow, you run down the stairs as you hear (.....) scream your name and Eustass yelling at you to stop. 

But who was he to tell you what to do?

Bursting out the apartment complex’s door, you see Law’s car parked waiting for you. Using all your strength, you run as fast as you can. Grabbing the car door, You swung it open before slamming it shut. Everything you brought with you on your lap.

“Drive!” Wasting no time, Law stomps on the gas, and as you see Eustass run out of the apartment, watching you and Law drive away.

~~~

If you guys do want this to be an actual fic series, let me know cause this concept is quite interesting to me.

Hazel posts a tiktok that starts with a view of Steve folding laundry.

Hazel: Pop

Steve, looking warily at the camera: What?

Hazel: If you and Dad got divorced–

Steve: Oh, come on, Haze.

Hazel: No-no-no-no, just hear me out.

Hazel: If you and Dad got divorced, how long would it take for me and Moe and Robbie to Parent Trap you back together.

Steve: *very long pause as he clearly considers the question*

Steve: Why did we get divorced?

Hazel: A dumb reason, like in the movie.

Steve: So how long has it been since we last saw each other?

Hazel: Well...no. It's not a shot-for-shot remake of the movie. You'd probably be, like, co-parenting or whatever.

Steve: How long have we been divorced?

Hazel: A long time. Since I was a baby.

Steve: *another pause*

Steve: Yeah, that...makes sense.

Hazel: Okay, don't be rude.

Steve: Who’s dating someone else?

Hazel: What?

Steve: The dad in the movie is dating someone else. So which one of us is the one dating somebody?

Hazel: Oh. I don’t know.

Steve: I bet it’d be your dad. You know what – you wouldn’t need to Parent Trap us because I’d already be trying to get back together with him on my own out of spite.

Hazel: Oh-kay we might need a part 2.

#Steve is Invested In The Conversation #steve: wait so am i dennis quaid or natasha richardson? #hazel: ……dad’s not cool enough to be either of them so you can take your pick #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson #hazel's tiktok page

SEVERELY obsessed with the character insight here. so obsessed that i typed a long-ass post of analysis, in which i support the argument that volo really isn’t a complete sociopath, he’s just a big emotional short-sighted hypocrite.

as we know, volo’s endgame goal is to subjugate arceus and recreate the world from scratch, implicitly so that whatever pain and heartbreak he’s experienced/witnessed no longer exists. this is of course an intentional parallel to cyrus’s desire to create a world without spirit in response to the emotional pain he experienced in his childhood. while we do not have a concrete explanation on what exactly the painful events volo experienced were like we do with cyrus, he talks about them enough that it’s clear that they impacted him significantly. that is to say i think he’s expressing his thoughts and feelings sincerely when he brings the topic up, he isn’t lying or trying to misdirect you in any way in regards to that.

i bring this up because a big portion of cyrus’s character that to this day flies over many fans’ heads is that he is defined by ironies and hypocrisies. he wishes for a world devoid of any emotions specifically because he is dominated by them—he confesses as much during his rant in the distortion world:

cyrus also famously has a crobat on his team, which evolves through high friendship, despite his steadfast belief that spirit—of which friendship is undoubtedly a part—is an ugly, vague, incomplete thing. in addition to this, usum all but explicitly confirms that the journal of a child who befriended a rotom was written by him. so, in conclusion, cyrus has a heart and is easily swayed by good emotions as well as bad.

so now we come to volo’s new dialogues in pokemon masters. i think that they have made it clearer that like cyrus’s emotional actions, his obsessions with history & preserving memories through photographs are meant to be genuine hypocrisy on his part, rather than intentional obfuscation of intent. think about it—a man who’s dominated by curiosity & love for history also claims to want to remake the world so utterly that all of that history is rendered completely destroyed. yet even in the depths of his post-defeat breakdown he still maintains that defining curiosity of his:

and now i ask, what is curiosity, if not an expression of love for the world around you? despite claiming to want to destroy the current world and all evidence of its existence, volo also still wants to know absolutely everything about it, past and present. it’s inherently contradictory. and this brings me to the recurring themes in his pokemas dialogue: how he not only appreciates photographs as a way to create a tangible record of history, but as a way “to capture and isolate the best moments”. those happy moments worth holding onto and looking back on in the future. see also the photograph of him and togepi in the original game, never commented on, taken for no apparent reason other than the fun of it—or more specifically, as these dialogues suggest, to isolate that moment in time in a tangible form. that is an act of love and of sentiment.

so, what’s the conclusion i’m getting at here? well, because of the ambiguity of his character in the base game. i’ve seen that volo is often interpreted as being a manipulative sociopath motivated solely by his desire for control. everything he does before the postgame is entirely a lie, absolutely none of the facade was genuine, etc. and don’t get me wrong, he is a control freak with a god complex! he does railroad the player into doing what he wants! he is not honest and he is not a good person. but, i think there is very much an intentional irony to him the same way there is with cyrus, in that his road to hell was paved with good intentions. he has the capacity for genuine kindness and i personally believe that his descent into villainy was spurred entirely by an earnest appreciation for the world around him and a desire to eliminate suffering.

as a closing statement, i want to bring up a quote from volo himself regarding calaba of the pearl clan:

i don’t think it’s that volo feels nothing for his pokemon or for the people around him—rather, i think he simply loves the world very, very much.

AITA for going almost full Karen at a chain coffee shop

A few days ago I went to a local chain coffee shop and ordered a hot cinnamon-brown sugar latte with oat milk and a cookie, which has been my go-to at that chain for a very long time. When the worker called my name he handed me an iced drink which was whatever I wasn't going to make a fuss over that. However, after taking a sip I noticed something was amiss and I asked: "This is oat milk right?" And the guy responded, "No, it's regular milk." And I said: "I ordered and paid extra for oat milk." To which he told me "I can't make that kind of latte with oat milk. I also didn't charge you for the oat milk so deal with it."

Annoyed at this point, I asked if there was a manager and if I could see them. He sighed and walked off. A few moments later he came back followed by his supervisor. The woman asked me "What's going on here?" So I explained the situation and she told me "Well, he told me you didn't specify oat milk and didn't charge you for the oat milk." I tried to argue that my order cost me what it should have cost if I had been charged for the oat milk (again, it's my regular order at this particular chain) and the supervisor basically sided with her worker. That was until the other worker (AKA my saving grace) who was the only other person there, turned to the supervisor and said "She definitely ordered her drink with oat milk. He was just too lazy to grab it from the storage fridge so he just used regular milk." At this point the kid who had made my drink was like "I don't see what the big deal is, it's just milk."

Now this is where might be where I'm the jerk. I'm not allergic to milk, nor am I lactose intolerant or vegan, I just prefer to take my coffee with oat milk, but I lied and said "It is a big deal, I can't have milk for medical reasons." To this the supervisor's face went pale, then red with anger as she turned to the kid and said "Go in the back for now, I'll deal with you once I remake her drink." She quickly made me the drink I ordered and apologized profusely then briskly walked away. Another reason why I might be the jerk is because I also took the original latte I had been given and gave it to my brother (I mean they were only going to dump it out anyway). So AITA?

What are these acronyms?
