genuinely do not get the point of replying to someone's gifset with 'I hate these characters. I stopped watching after they were introduced.' sorry you feel that way, but I don't actually give a shit. now get off my fucking post.
#do people just...not remember the phrase 'if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?' because like...#now I just feel like shit.#and like...its happened three or four times in the past couple of months. where people will leave a reply on one of my gifsets that's not#negative towards the gifset itself its negative about the character or the episode or the series or the actor#and it's like...well okay you're allowed to not like it but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to like it yknow? but also I worked hard on i#and whilst you're not directly being negative about the work I put in#you are saying its less valid because it's characters that you don't like#it's also always been hidden blogs#which means that I get the email notification of the reply but I can't actually go to the blog itself and block them to stop it happening#I try not to let it get to me but honestly I'm really fucking tired of the userbase of this site right now#it's the constant stream of 'we've got to reblog gifmakers and artists otherwise they'll stop posting' posts being reblogged and then#gifsets that have a reblog to like ratio of 1:4#and it's been getting bad for the past five years or so#but now its getting to a point where it does really fucking bother me#because what the fuck is the fucking point#and like...I get it. I'm not great at reblogging every single gifset I see. Not everything I like is something I'm interested in.#but there comes a point where you start thinking... where are all these people that like this gifset but not enough to reblog it coming fro

while i do think its silly to assign morality to reblogs over likes and that the guilt trippy comics people make about it are goofy i think it's just as silly to act like there is no reason a creator would want thier work to get exposure and that it's wrong of creators to be frustrated when they get a hundred notes and only 25 are reblogs. like i get that no one should post for the numbers and all that but i don't think like. wanting your work to be seen is some big evil capitalistic conspiricy. come on now.

why do we have hands?
Tumblr media
alt title: why do we have hands? (aventurine's version)
a/n: that one meme thingy idk how to describe it but hopefully u get the reference 🤞 uh there is like a good 40 days plus(?) until MY MAN COMES HOME live laugh love aventurine ,, also might possibly make dr ratio's version of this idk hes growing on me okay ,, who r we kidding I AM DOWN BAD FOR HIM AS WELL
Tumblr media
why do we have hands? there are many reasons.
Tumblr media
to pat the aventurine.
when aventurine is not at work or he doesn’t feel like gambling for the day, his usual frivolous and fairly confident persona slips away. instead, he turns into this lazy cat-like person with the way he curls up beside you on the couch, head on your lap and face buried in your stomach. he doesn’t say much (how can he? he’s literally in dreamland right now). however, he asks you of one thing; please do not stop running your fingers through his hair. it doesn’t matter if he’s already snoring away, never take your hands off his head. you need to use your phone with two hands? well, too bad ‘cause now you have to type with one hand for the next three hours. 
Tumblr media
to hold the aventurine.
aventurine has to travel a lot for his work. typically, his business trips would lasts between four days or two weeks. but this one is just taking too much of his time. it has been four months, two weeks, six days and seventeen hours since he last saw you. the phone calls and texts doesn’t do your presence any justice. aventurine’s pretty sure he’s slowly going insane and another minute without you will might as well be his 13th reason. so what does he do the moment he kicks down the door of your shared home? drags you to bed and drops all of his weight on you. he sighs and relaxes, the tension leaving his body when he feels you wrap your arms around him.
Tumblr media
to cherish the aventurine.
with no work on his itinerary, aventurine wakes up early and gets out of bed before you. he then sneaks away to the kitchen after fixing the blanket around you and leaving a lingering kiss on your forehead. an hour later, as he’s waiting for the coffee, he feels your cheek against his shoulder, soft voice of yours mumbling a morning greeting. a nice breakfast is already set up on the table. as he’s pouring the coffee to your respective mugs, aventurine hums in content as you went to peck his cheek in gratitude (“thanks for breakfast.”)
Tumblr media
to forfeit all mortal possessions to aventurine.
it’s either he’s really skilled in gambling or he’s just got an insane amount of luck but aventurine tends to win most poker games he participates in. that being said, his bank account is loaded. he doesn’t have to worry about spending too much, he can practically buy you anything you’d want without looking at the price tags. but when it comes to you buying him something, aventurine becomes speechless. he just stares and stands, not knowing what to do or say, as you hand him a trinket you bought after it reminded you of him. this happens every time you come home from an errand. it has reached the point where he has to tell you that yes, he likes and appreciates all the gifts you give, but please stop spending your money because he’s the one who should be spoiling you and not the other way around.
Tumblr media
likes and reblogs are appreciated! masterlist

Work Out: Prologue
Tumblr media
AN: what up! I, Livvy, have finally written the prologue for my Florian fic and I hope you all enjoy it! I’m gonna try to have it reach to at least 15 chapters at best, if not shorter. As long as I can get it out, I think I’ll be good. Feedback is always appreciated as well; reblogs as etc. Let me know if you’d like to be apart of the Tag Squad!
Warnings: None...yet
Word Count: 1,635 [not bad]
Tag Squad: @themyscxiras || @sparklemichele || @designerwriterchic || @maddiestundentwritergaines
Most people on New Year’s Eve are out and about; with their families or choose to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yet for me, Genevieve or Geneva for short, I was the latter and was out partying with my friends into the wee hours of the night to ring in the new year. This year, 2018 to be exact, has been a rough one for me and I was in desperate need some of positive reinforcements. With starting my own personal training business; moving to New York City to be closer to my parents and going through a divorce, a huge change of scenery was just what the doctor ordered.
The neon club lights illuminated my rich mocha skin, as the music seemed to seep through my veins and control my moments. Moving to the beat and the rhythm with ease, without a care in the world. The vibe was alive in Marquee New York, and it was a great way to celebrate her move. I made sure to keep an eye out on my siblings; Donovan, Lucas and Leilani, all the while feeling free for the first time all year.
Most people weren’t close with their siblings like I am, seeing as though we were all close in age. Even though they were in the club either their friends, the ages were close. Nothing broke their bond and nothing ever will. That is until I got married and it shook the family to its very core on how it transpired in a year. Needless to say, it ended pretty rough but I got the last laugh.
“I’m so glad you came out tonight. We needed our girl out.” Cynthia encouraged as she handed me a glass of White Russian. Happily accepting the drink, I took a sip and went back to dancing as my 4C right coils moved in tandem.
She’s one of my best friends since college, and couldn’t get over the fact that I finally got out of her condo for once.
“We’ve never seen you this happy. It’s good to have our girl back.” Destiny nodded in agreement. It was a rarity to get these three together. Destiny and I, have also been best friend since the 4th grade.
“I know, I know. But listen it’s all good now, I’m here and I’m out. Plus my cousin said he wanted me to meet someone tonight. I just hope he listens to me though.”
“You even agreeing to meet a dude after filing for a divorce, is grand enough.”
“She’s right though. Hopefully Michael comes through for ya.”
They always had my best interest at heart, and I couldn’t have asked for better friends, who were like family to me to be there.
“Knowing Michael, whomever he knows, better be up to par. I just can’t see myself dating an actor, you know? You know how it all went with Jake, cheatin ass.”
I spoke as clearly as I could over the music, and  just kept on dancing. Next thing I knew, Twerk by City Girls came on and all hell broke loose. Dragging my friends to the middle of the dance floor and did exactly what the song instructed.
Having a circle form around us was nothing new. At all the gatherings, before she got married, they were the life of the party wherever they went.
“Mind if we cut in? Can’t have you two dancing alone.” Jonathan said in a smooth voice, knowing it did something to Cynthia. She happily obliged and was whisked away. Ryan soon came up as well and made Destiny giddy as a school girl.
“How yall just gonna take my best friends? Rude.” Seeing how much love my friends were getting was enough for me to get by. The love Johnny showed towards Cyn, and Ryan with Destiny, showed volumes. It made my heart flutter at the bond they had.
“Sorry Gen. We love them too ya know.” Ryan places a gentle kiss on upon my head before heading back to his girl. Leaving myself to dance by alone, till she got a text from Michael saying he made it to the club. Upon sending a reply, Donovan texted her saying he took the twins home. Feeling a sense of relief wash over.
“He’s here y’all. I gotta meet him upstairs in VIP.” Without missing a beat, the other four hightailed it behind me, up the stairs to see who my cousin was setting me up with. Accepting the VIP hand stamp from the bouncer, walking towards the group in the main area.
“For your sake, I hope he listened to you.” Cynthia snickered gently, causing Destiny to lightly tap her arm.
“Well, well well. If it isn’t my favorite cousin Geneva. What’s going on girl?” Michael said enthusiastically, giving her a hug.
“Better not let Donny and the twins hear you say that Mr. Superstar.” I chuckled softly, returning the hug and introduced my friends to him.
Michael always kept in touch with family no matter how busy he got. Whether it was movie deals; commercials or interviews, he made sure to keep in contact.
“Gen, you never told me your cousin was Michael B. Jordan!” Ryan exclaimed in a hushed tone in my ear. I thought it was implied.
“It’s not something I brag about constantly. I don’t need people bombarding me with questions on like; ‘is he single?’ Or ‘does he want a baby mama?’ I’m good fam.”
The more I explained it, the more it made sense. Even Michael nodded in agreement, before smirking a bit. Glancing at the party below, my mind was elsewhere during all of this.
“Listen cuz, it’s almost the new year and I know you’ve been through a lot.” He began his speech, just as Florian stood next to him.
“Yeah huh. What are you getting at Bakari?” Upon taking a sip of the new drink, I turned my attention away from the coward downstairs, to her Michael and his friend.
This man was huge. Like body on point; smile on 100, presence alluring and intoxicating. Just everything about him exuded dominance and power. The way the grey long sleeve cotton shirt, hugged his biceps in all the right ways. He just looked like a tall delicious looking, white chocolate teddy bear. Where have I seen him before?
“Geneva, I’m sure you know-” Michael was cut off abruptly, by our eager attitudes.
“Genevieve Shaw.”
“Florian Munteanu. Oh we’ve met before.” I had a smirk plastered on my face. Everyone, excluding him and Michael, was confused. The memory was coming back to me now, from the beginning of Creed II promo shoot.
I was hired, along with Cynthia, to do the makeup and therapy for the movie. That was so long ago I had completely forgot about it, clearly Florian hadn’t.
“You didn’t tell me, she was your cousin.” Florian’s thick accent, and yet slight arrogant facial expression reminded me why I didn’t go for his advances at first. He made a bet with her best friend Leon, that he could get my number by the time the Creed II press was over.
It didn’t work out because I overheard and stopped all the bull before it went down.
“I thought you knew. She is the reason why you aren’t hurting anymore.” Michael pointed out.
“True. No need to pull a hamstring.” The joking tone from Florian did nothing but increase the annoyance. The roll of my amber brown eyes was a notice enough.
“I told you I don’t date actors, and athletes. But since you’re my cousin I’ll indulge.” A slight shrug and a nod was enough for Michael. Then an idea came to mind, two could play that game.
“How about this, Munteanu. Follow me real quick.” Signaling him to follow me out the floor to get ready for the countdown. Hearing my friends and Michael’s cheer behind us.
Seeing all the women, and a few men, glance at him as he bobbed and weaved through the crowd to follow me, made me feel powerful a bit.
“Since the new year will happen in approximately 2 min, I’m feeling generous. What do you say to a bet? Sound familiar?” Sipping my champagne from the flute, while moving from side to side to the music, it got his attention.
“A bet huh? It does ring a bell. What did you have in mind?” There’s that smirk again. Get it together Geneva.
“If you’re actually interested in me, no bullshit and show initiative, maybe I’ll go out with you. I don’t move to new York to play games Munteanu. You may be fine, but you sure as hell ain’t about to waste my time. Deal?” With an arch of my left brow, I meant business.
He was shocked at how forward I was, but slightly turned on at the same time. He seemed like he was always up for challenge.
“Deal.”
He clinked his glass with mine as the countdown began at 10 seconds. The look in his eyes seemed eager as he inches closer to me, closing the distance between us. The height ratio was actually pleasant; 6’4 to 5’8. Thank god for platform heels. Feeling his body heat on mine at the final 5 seconds, I came up with a tactic.
“Happy New Year!!”
Florian thought he was gonna kiss me, but I stopped him by placing my hand on his chiseled chest. Causing a sweet laugh go escape my full lips.
“Slow ya roll. The bet starts now, happy new year.” Sending a wink his way, I left him there speechless and engulfed in confetti, fo join my friends back in the VIP area. Earning a high five from Cynthia and Destiny.
The year was going to be a good one.

Why I was scared to admit I liked KPOP
-
The following passage is just something I had to get off my chest as KPOP fan. If this does not interest you, please feel free to scroll past.
-
When KPOP started to become more mainstream in the US, I was happy and excited. However, even though I wanted to discover more groups, I seemed to only find the toxic fans at every corner of the internet. There are certain fanbases that I actively avoided because of the actions I saw. Like, I didn’t even want to listen to the group and that sucks because I know that all of the groups are talented. 
I don’t think some people understand that if the public mostly knows the fanbase for being negative and annoying, you give the the very thing you support a bad reputation. If 1 out of 10 fans are toxic or immature or just plain rude, imagine that ratio on a much larger scale. If all the public knows is the negative percentage of the fanbase, imagine how the group feels about it. They love their fans, but to hear that their fans are becoming the bad guys could be heartbreaking. 
I know that due to groups being in companies, there are some things they can’t address or acknowledge because the company said so. They’ll make a passing comment about the situation and hope the hint is taken. So when all they get is pressure from “fans” to talk about whatever it is or getting “cancelled,” it seems like these “fans” don’t care that this is an actual human being on the other side of the screen. People will scream until their face is blue about how the idol should take all the blame when, in reality, that small group blew everything out of proportion and they would rather tear apart a person’s dreams than admit that they were wrong.
I know not all of you are like this. I know that some people just jump on the hate train for attention because I don’t remember seeing them EVER talk about the group.
When it comes to international coverage of KPOP, some places either accidentally or purposely make comments about the group that sets off a wildfire on social media. With such a large social media presence, some fanbases are terrifying but sending threats [especially death threats] is going too far. I know that you want proper representation for your favs, but going at it with pitchforks and torches is a little much.
By creating a bad cloud over the fanbase, that’s all people will talk about and that’s all people may find. You don’t want that. When it came to the whole ARMY situation, Halsey had probably the best statement about the whole thing.
Tumblr media
Don’t become someone you would cringe at or want to avoid. 
---
Throughout 2018, I kept quiet about liking KPOP as people seemed to look down on it and I enjoyed it in quiet. I would see people complaining about [insert group name here] because it was taking over the internet and their timelines/dashboards.
I enjoyed listening to EXID, TWICE, and Stray Kids in the solidarity of my room and avoided reblogging or posting anything KPOP related on my main blog as I had friends from my life following me. They were very vocal about their disapproval on the KPOP takeover, and I couldn’t help but sit there and suffer in silence.
It wasn’t until I met a couple people here on tumblr that I started to accept the fact that, yes, I listen to KPOP. I’m still quiet about it in my everyday life, but I’m happy to have friends that enjoy the same thing I do. They let me know that not everyone in the fanbase is not toxic or rude, and gave me confidence to learn more about groups I once avoided.
I’ve only been a KPOP fan for three years, but I only listened to one group for two years because I was scared to look for more groups. Now that I’ve become more comfortable with the fact that there will always be a toxic percent of any fanbase, I’ve found lot of groups that I absolutely adore.
-
If you made it this far, thank you for reading. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to send me a message or an ask if anything needs to be cleared up.
