Platonic Ghostbusters x social media manager! Reader?
oooo hell yeah!! ; thanks for requesting and I hope u enjoy :)
GHOSTBUSTERS ; social media manager
summary ; you run the official ghostbusters social media platforms
warnings ; language
word count ; 746
masterlist
Tumblr media
Podcast wanted to run the official Ghostbuster social media's but was quickly turned down at that. They needed someone who could actually be on top of that kind of stuff and whatnot. So, Stanz made a deal with Podcast that they'd get a social media manager, and he could act as their teammate with that, basically. Giving them ideas, giving them video clips and extra details, etcetera.
Most of the others didn't see a real reason for a social media manager, but as long as it wasn't their money.
Trevor offered to just do everything himself, but that was obviously turned down as well. The teens all agreed not to let the adults run the account either. They didn't need millennial - Gen X / Boomer humor flooding the whole account and making them look bad.
And that's where you came in.
surprisingly, Pheobe was the one to find you. she's seriously the most chronically offline person ever so the fact she ever opened Instagram was a miracle in itself
lots of talking back and forth and meeting the original four three ghostbusters to get input, then meeting callie & garry and the teenagers
you actually figured out that you used to be friends with Lucky as well, damn
you had managed social media accounts before, but you'd recently quit a few of those because of labor laws being broken so, yknow
you quickly formed a bond with Lucky, Trevor, and Podcast. you were kind of close in age to all three of them and they were all invested in the public image for the brand
setting the Instagram up was genuinely the funnest thing ever
the four of you were chilling in the living room in the firehouse (since sleepover stuff, pheobe was in her room reading) and you had your laptop in your lap and the three of them over your shoulders
the amount of laughing and cackling got some scolding from callie upstairs
it took everything out of you to not make the first post a video of trevor being soaked in Slimer's slime (which had been recorded by Lucky just by coincidence as they were investigating the attic again)
the first three posts, which were pinned, all lined up to be like a banner kind of logo with the theme song in the back, and they all played the same video, clips of the og ghostbusters and how they grew and then the new ghostbusters
the tiktok is its own thing, you allowed trev, lucky, podcast (and pheobe) to run it, but everything had to be ran by you first because pr shit
but thankfully no boomer humor or slang is ever being put on those accounts
most of those people don't even know wtf the internet is anyways lol
stanz has a personal vendetta against you /hj after you posted a .5 of him for relatable promo. he had no idea what you were doing but it was criminal that you made his forehead look so much more bigger than it already was
Winston gives you a bunch of old pics to post to trending angst sounds as well LOL
let's not talk about that tiktok where you, lucky, and trevor dance to/remake submissive and breedable by smosh ft bbno$, okay?
^podcast and pheobe were behind the camera cackling the whole time
lots of random pic posts on the insta as well because why not (most of them are the teens looking awkward, callie, gary & lars trying to look like cool scientists, or venkman, stanz, zeddemore & melnitz being classic, sassy old people)
the socials are never professional whatsoever, it's fun but it's not heavily controversial or obvious that you're there as a pr manager basically or just to manage the socials
like man they don't have the time to look at all the comments, take all the advice, reply to fans, etc
I mean that wage ain't that bad either LMAO
trevor is always bitching about how you make more money than he does /lh
you're not just a representative to them, you're actually family. you're just cool like that
"bro y/n is such a mc I hate them" and you'll reply on your personal w a "says you, reality shifter" or smthn LMAO idfk
always reposting ghostbuster edits / fanart etc because fandom culture 🙏
also I can't get over the fact the ghostbuster theme song is canon now either. yk damn well that shit is plastered everywhere thanks to you 💀
"do the ghostbusters respond??" "stanz said he loves your dog" "HELP HSEIJDLAKE"
10/10 experience

so i was talking to this guy i met on a dating app (my friends were like go for it you’ve never been on a date) and we were talking for like 4 weeks we both have very busy schedules. yesterday he asks if im free on sunday so we can finally meet. i tell him yes, ask him for the details of the date. then i ask him to pick me up since he has a car and he says it’ll be a long drive for him and that he could pick me up from the train station. (but the restaurant is like a 15 min walk from there which to me is unnecessary) and that i probably won’t feel comfortable dressing up nice to get on the train, so i should wear something casual and should tell him if that works for me. i tell him i don’t want to get onto public transport and ask if he could get me a ride (thinking this won’t be a problem at all since the guy works everyday all day a 30 dollar uber won’t be nothing😭) and so then he says ‘hmm never mind lol’ and so im a lil surprised because i’ve voiced the fact that 1 i don’t have a car and the train journey will be over an hour and is quicker by car. 2 i wanted to look good for our date so why is he asking me to dress casual?? 3 why is the uber suddenly off putting like i asked him to pay my rent lol wtf (also please bare in mind that i’m a 20 year old student and he’s a 28 and works full time) do u think was i asking for too much? wasn’t really fond of him but id like to know for future reference.
I don’t think that you are asking for too much at all. Knowing that you were communicating with him from a dating app already indicates(to me) that he’s a low effort type of man. I know some people have success with dating apps, but the vast majority of men on there are there because they can easily talk to(a lot of) women that they would never have the courage to approach in real life. Think about it like this: why would he go out of his way to send you an Uber if all he had to do to talk to you was swipe his phone screen? Imagine if he saw you in person one day and he was a nervous wreck thinking when would be the right time to approach you and get your phone number or social media? He replayed the scenario multiple times in his head until he finally made the bold move to come up to you and say something that would be perfect to break the ice. He went through ALL OF THAT, just to tell you “hmm never mind lol.” I highly doubt that if he did all of that, he would not send you an Uber. Instead, he would be thinking to himself that he went through a stressful emotional roller coaster to get your attention and that he didn’t do all that work for NOTHING. So that $30 Uber? He’ll be thinking that’s nothing to him and make it a luxury vehicle while he’s at it.
Again, I am not discrediting those who have success with dating apps. I’m simply giving you my perspective on why I believe MOST of the men on those platforms are not serious. I do not think you did anything wrong or absurd on your part, and any man who asks you to lower your standards (especially when you’re being perfectly reasonable) is not worth entertaining.

ok pause the mitski. theres lots of examples of bad internet apologies. ppl are still making ukelele jokes. or that one brunette girl who cried. and that other person (maybe same person?) who monetized hers? and on one hand yeah these examples r rlly insensitive and revealing of how the creators behind them didnt gaf abt the harm they did but its also like well what if they did a good apology. what then.
bc like the other thing i remember from that youtube era were these 'body language experts' who would take these videos and zoom in on, like, dilation of eyeballs or hand placement or whatever the fuck psuedoscience they thought sounded cool and smart and go "oh yeah see this here. she's insincere because her frown was 0.5 inches too shallow. if she really felt bad she would frown deeper". (on a lower note they did this 2 amber heard too). and overall everything just gave the impression that. like. if someone said the same thing but hit all the correct social cues, they would be able to do it right. even though that's just about understanding and hitting social cues, which doesn't have anything to do with sincerity or willingness to own up to harm and change.
[sidenote dude in minecraft (which i am playing intermittently between typing this) i just found like three different diamond veins in like a <20 block radius at y=0 wtf is going on]
i mean like i guess when i say all public apologies are inherently performative i dont mean that everyone who issues one is a sick and twisted master manipulator or that everyone who issues one isn't actually sincere. like. srry man thats just how it goes. everythings a play when you're on a stage platform. but idk. the way that creators then go about with that performance. as well as the way the public receives those statements. is interesting to think about. as well as i guess. what both parties are actually looking for, what they really want. out of these kinds of things.

Ranking things people and brands have done in regards to Taylor/Travis from "weird and please don't do that again" to "this is creepy and dehumanizing":
anyone who is planning their wedding or otherwise saying they are meant to be together forever (including digging up the fact that Travis and Marjorie Finlay share the same birthday - wtf)
journalists who keep asking Travis' teammates (and coaches and other NFL players and so on) about Taylor instead of about their job
NBC using Taylor songs without permission to promote games/commentary on football
people taking pictures of them at private events without consent
football fans being generally misogynistic and saying Taylor is ruining football
swifties flocking to Travis' comments on all social media platforms calling him their new dad or otherwise weirdly commenting on the fact that he's dating Taylor
swifties flocking to JASON's comments and doing more or less the same thing
brands like Heinz jumping into the seemingly ranch joke and actually selling products inspired by the joke
that friendship bracelet thing that the stadium or NFL or whoever decided to do
treating Taylor like a commodity for a sports team to make money and get publicity (see: Mark Cuban)

I think the reason why you guys find the post ridiculous is because it wasn’t you. I’m trying to put myself in that girl’s shoes: imagine being called out that way? You guys are the ridiculous ones. Have respect. She was clearly hurt by it.
Anon 2: Imagine a poor girl posting an apology and you all making fun of her for ti. You’re all terrible people.
Anon 3: These comments about the girl are a bit rude don’t you think?
Anon 4: deuxmoi just shared a statement from the girl who shared that spotting clarifying what was her intention>> He's right, he could be making a complaint, and the person, not knowing what was going on, decided to pretend she knew what he was talking about.
Anon 5: Hmmm maybe we just don’t understand her apology because it was her and not us. We shouldn’t try to understand something we probably won’t. She used the platform to reach seb or his friend, not us. We don’t get it because it wasn’t us.
Anon 6: I think the issue is even if he was talking about having an issue with her, I can see it easily being interpreted as so and it must feel terrible and maybe that’s the issue with the comments he keeps making. I think he needs to tone it down a bit.
Anon 7: I think she makes a good point to be honest. Just like she made a mistake, even though he was being funny or trying to be I can imagine how it must be insulting to her for him to assume her spotting was her trying to violate his privacy when she just didn’t think first. I think people are being harsh on her when it should actually be a wake up call for everyone including seb to take a step back and calm down before saying things, because others can also misinterpret it and be offended too.
Anon 8: Your bias about that poor girl is palpable
Anon 9: Stop calling that girl’s submission an essay or a big ass post. Maybe actually read it? It was kind. You’re no better if you’re reacting to an apology statement with bullying.
Anon 10: I go on Reddit and see ss of this big ass apology to Seb from DMs ig. Wtf happened??? / it's basically reddit roasting a fan for a cringey 3 page apology letter she wrote after Sebastian called out her creepy stalking behaviour on a podcast. And the op is also in the reddit thread defending her letter, so cringe. istg, people like this make me embarrassed to be in this fandom.
Lady Danger - Maybe I’m plum out of empathy for people with a lack of common sense but you know the people who have to announce they’re leaving social media or whatever? That’s what this reminded me of because it’s not about the statement, it’s about the attention. Either way, glad she learned something.
Vamp - "Sebastian Stan, I'm sorry that I misconstrued your private conversation and made it public by submitting a gossip site."
Done.
There was no need to release a 2 page statement that reads like a non-apology.

Marketing is bullshit these days... To do this you must have social media accounts. Frankly I do not like social media. I got shit to do other then being on social media platforms. If you don't have the following your idea fails. It's bullshit. If you don't have many social media platforms you sink. I don't like social media because it pisses me off makes me cry happy sad wanna kill someone hug someone all in matter if 5 mins. I have a hard time getting through the shorts. Something always breaks my heart. I can't even be on here everyday because I got shit to do. I also think it's a ploy to keep us in the house while they collect data on us to use it against us. Not to mention data sells it's a trillion dollar market. It pisses me off the scamming phone calls from people that bought my data from someone else it's my fucking phone I pay the fucking bill. But everyone is making a profit off my data.its invasion my phone is not propaganda not advertisement. Not public . I talk on the phone talking to my kids propaganda shows up. That's talking a personal conversations is public domain now. Selling your soul without knowing it. Well if this is how it's going to be fuck this. To market my kids store I have to sell my soul so others can profit off my data fuck that! Job sights another scam. Put your data in for a job 17 phone calls from warranty people health care solar. They say don't put your info online like wtf the want ads in the paper don't exist anymore.

Kinoxiety Diary #3 ( a bit long)
Hey guys.
Yesterday I saw a story in Facebook that triggers my anxiety.
My ex’s story that said he will come for me and another story that shows like a picture of a Grim Reaper and said things about how I created him as a monster and that I’m scared of his dark side. It was really disturbing. In our years together, he didn’t really shown or do like a boyfriend at all. I lived with him in his parent’s house because I was new at the metro. All of my mental health problems started on that house. His parents talking shit about me. Him not a proper boyfriend and whenever I confronted him how he always play games with his friend or how he acted when his friends are around like I am not there or I am just a maid or a baby sitter for him.
Yes, I asked him to help me with my studies but that’s it. And he pointed that at me. Like wtf?
I left him cause I am full already with that mental abuse I took from his parents and from him. When we got a little fight he will make it big and even punch the wall. He won’t listen to me and I’ll be the one to give up and starts soothing him. That’s when I started not to talk to him that made me upset or he will get upset and starts to wreck havoc in the house.
It’s like I cannot move or think freely when I’m there. So when I moved out the house with all my courage I was really happy. Even though his parents stop talking to me and said that I am ungrateful and use them for money and all. Which is not. I cannot even eat freely the foods in there if they won’t say I can eat or him and his cousin are eating. I work hard to earn money and to afford living in an apartment. And they still talk bullshit about it.
When I met my boyfriend he was really kind and care so much for me. It was not hard not to fall in love with him. I know its wrong that I was talking with another guy while I’m in a relationship. So I kept it to myself until I got the courage to break up my ex.
My boyfriend (now) understands the situation that I don’t want to let our relationship out in the public.
But my ex stalked me in all my social platforms and saw the about me of my boyfriend.
My ex is so angry and threatened me that he will kill his self if I don’t follow his wishes. His one wish is to live with me in the apartment. He is trying to get me again.
It was a bad move from me but I was so scared. While he is in my apartment he kept threatening me with a knife on his hand and trying to slice his wrist. We had a fight about that. I tried to take away the knife and at one time the knife was pointing at me. But thanks God he stops. I was tired and exhausted. I can’t focus work. It’s like going back to that house that I cannot move freely. (It is already MY apartment.)
My boyfriend was so worried about me. He keeps the communication on and we are still video calling even if he is there. Every night we fight over a knife. When he wanted to talk with me and promise it will be a calm talk but later on he will be angry and threatening me again to kill his self.
My friend and my one of my co-workers are the two persons that knew about my situation. They told me to kick my ex out in my apartment. That they assure me everything will be fine and if he keeps insisting about it I can just call the police or the authority to report of this disturbing behavior.
So I did. It was peaceful until today again.
I didn’t block him yet because that was he wished. But now, my friend told me to really block him so that he can see me or disturb me again.

Just a general 18+ content warning here, nothing really explicit, but more under the cut regarding what most would consider offensive and violent tropes in smut fiction, and general talk about discourse. Not in response to any one thing happening here, but general observations over the past year or so, since I haven't been here very long. Also talk about discourse on other platforms.
I'm also not posting this to discourage discourse, only to point out that not all reactions to discourse are equal to the issue that is being discussed. There is very legitimate discourse in fandom that needs to be brought to light and discussed, and this is not to minimize that needed discourse.
Long post ahead.
Tumblr is so weird. I'm not talking about the site, I'm talking about all of us on here.
We're weird.
There's so much "no, don't do that" here that doesn't exist on any other site. It's like coming to another world.
I don't do much with Twitter, I really only use it for news, but it's full of p*rn. Just straight up p-in-v right there. And discourse about just about everything. Political discourse capital of the universe. I stay away away because I mostly hate it. I did find out about Vince McMahan paying to cover up an affair though (how did this surprise literally anyone?), which I probably wouldn't have otherwise, so it has its uses. But people stay on Twitter, because discourse is expected and is likely wanted by a lot of the daily users. Arguments and anger and "our side" and "their side" is what their users want.
Then there's Facebook. Everyone I know personally seems to have decided to out idiot each other (this is a regional issue related to politics, so ymmv). There is discourse in comment threads of public posts, but not so much in individual user posts.
But back to FB. Y'all. I read a lot. I read 6 books at a time (1 chapter each a day), of various genres.
I read smut. Erotica. You know. It's not the only thing I reas, but I do read it. And I can, because I'm allowed to make that decision for myself.
I'm a member of a few different groups where book recommendations are their primary reason for being. Groups with tens of thousands of members and that extremely active (note that I am not going to name any of these groups).
Sounds tame. It's really not. Some of these groups are a completely different world.
We know that Tumblr is different and that social media is different outside of Tumblr. But I really mean that it's different. Even discourse is different.
I'm going to put a cut here, because content warning things are below here (and a small mention of an anthromorphic spider).
And my apologies for going in so many directions as this. But this is kind of about why interaction is so low here, and that's because Tumblr is gonna Tumblr, and it's not a safe space for anyone and never will be no matter how hard anyone fights about it.
Without fail, each of the FB groups have a don't like, don't look, don't comment rule.
Someone posted an anthromorphic spider with a partner in a compromising position, asking for recs. Not my thing, but surprisingly to me lots of replies.
And any time I've seen any discourse about anything anyone has asked for, it's been shut down so fast that I rarely see what originally caused the issue.
But I saw the discourse on a request once before the the replying user was banned.
The OP had asked for a book rec that included some pretty dark things. This is your warning before moving forward.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The OP asked for a book rec that included non-con, kidnapping, forced pregnancy, and several other tropes that pushed it well into the "are you ok, op?" area for me. Definitely nothing that I would read or would have any idea of recs for. But recs were given to the OP, until one user asked, essentially, "wtf is wrong with you op? this is disgusting and you are disgusting for asking for it."
Nuked. From. Orbit. Replier was kicked so fast they probably had no idea they were already gone.
Nothing like that could happen here. That response would be atypical here. Anger would only grow from each side, everyone deciding they were in the right in an argument that wouldn't even be a blip on the radar anywhere else.
Here, there would probably be fights in the comments. We've seen these comments. People with differing views of the request would be accused of being the worst type of people in existence. I wouldn't be surprised to see people telling others to off themselves. It would explode into whatever fandom it lives in, and after multitudes of anon messages and deactivates accounts, it would eventually settle down, with the battle lines more clearly drawn and the more casual fans covering their heads to keep from getting hit with the fallout at best, or leaving at worst.
I've seen the absolute grossest takes from both sides of issues here. There is no way to be ignorant of anything because you have to be on one side or another, and if you're not explicitly on one side, you are one of the others, and that just can't happen.
And before anyone says "well, that's because the other side is obviously wrong", I'M TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE TOO.
It doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't matter the fandom. It doesn't matter the issue.
I have literally seen discourse about whether Captain Rex's hair was dyed or natural blonde. As if this is an issue that matters and not some way to put another line out there to make people prove they're enjoying fandom the right way.
I'm not in the Encanto fandom, but if I wanted to be I'm sure there's some terrible discourse going on, and I would have to align with one side or another because that's expected. It doesn't matter what the discourse is, it doesn't matter what my view is. This side is right and that side is wrong. Period. There is no room for any sort of discussion on my part, because the discussion has already happened before I arrived and the lines have been drawn and you have to choose the side you're going to be on.
I'm not in BTS fandom, but it's there. I'm not in OFMD fandom, but I'm sure it's there too.
And this happens for every fandom. You don't have to be part of a specific fandom to know that it does.
And in the midst of all the fandom discourse we're missing legitimate problems because of the voice they're coming from. Legitimate discourse, problematic users. All because of the side that their on.
The absolute refusal to accept an apology from the other side for their misdeads, while simultaneously closing your eyes to the issues on your side, accepting each apology without question. Because everyone makes mistakes, right? At least as long as they're on your side. Those people on the other side are irredeemable. Their apologies are fake. They'll never learn. Because they are problematic and wrong and you can't fix that.
But we are all problematic. There is no way not to be. And if you think you're not, you're not looking at yourself critically.
I am not unproblematic and I know it. And I try every day to do better than I did yesterday. But I will never be perfect. There is no such thing as perfection. And to someone, somewhere on this site I may be irredeemable. That I don't deserve happiness. That If I had a minor child, I deserve to have them taken away from me. I may not even deserve to live in their eyes. I hope that no one sees me that way, but I've seen others make these comments for far less, in replies, in reblogs, in messages, and in anons.
We act like we are at war and the other side is our enemy and we wonder why no one interacts anymore. Why fandom is dying here, so to speak. Lumping everyone who isn't "us" into "them"
We are toxic. We are problematic. And we're trying to pretend that we're not, that we're so much better than the other side, no matter what the other side is. That they're the problem. We are all the problem.
I stepped back some recently, but came back because I missed it, but honestly, I didn't come here to fight with anyone. I'm sure most everyone else originally did the same, no matter what side of what issue they're on. But you can't come here and interact and not fight. The only way to not fight is to not interact.
And everyone wonders why interaction is so low.

Wait wtf????? I just saw that post about the social media ban? What?????? I didn't know anything about that?????? Have i missed something?????????? I'm so confused
It's not on you, Indian media has just been suspiciously silent about this
Lmfao. I wonder why.
It's still unclear whether they'll be banned from tomorrow, or anytime soon, but according to news websites it's very likely.
The Indian government rolled out new laws in February, demanding that social media companies appoint Indian compliance official to oversee their content, essentially, and personally go over/take action against "objectionable" content.
(That doesn't sound fascist at all, does it?)
All SM companies had a three month compliance period- three months to change things- and they've done nothing. Unlikely they'll change their minds in the next few hours.
Either it's because said companies KNOW their platforms won't be banned (though there's no real basis for this assumption, that the public knows of anyway) or because they don't really care very much. Which is fair, they value their users' privacy. As they should.
Unfortunately, this means it opens them up to making THEM liable for criminal action carried out on their platforms
Hence the worry that they'll shut shop in India.
That being said, it's still only speculation. I don't think there's any concrete reason to panic right away.

Omg love did you already answer about your bitchass ex cheating on u and about your worst sex experience for your event? I feel like that’s some hot ass tea please kindly spill for us if you’re comfortable doing so
Tumblr media
@sanrionymph sent the same ask but i’m going to answer yours, nonnie!
*sighs* alright, get ready because lowkey this was one of my most toxic arcs /hj
also warnings: mentions of abuse, toxic behavior, stalking
on another note: lowkey this story sounds so bad LMAO and i’ll admit that this mf put me thru HELL, but i’m okay now and i honestly see this story as pretty funny!!! i highkey use humor to cope! so there’s no need to like express pity and such, if anything it’d make me feel more uncomfy HAHA. but yes, ‘tis all! hope you enjoy my la croix version of my euphoria ass life!
i dated this dude in my freshman year of college. honestly don’t know why but maybe he gave me the right amount of attention at the wrong time. who knows?
the relationship was alright at first! (in hindsight tho i realize he was HIGHKEY love-bombing me lol but anywho!) but eventually he started becoming more and more of a dick to me: comparing me to his exes, forcing me to help him w/ his laundry and get groceries 🤢, and just kinda hiding me from the public? like his close friends knew we were dating but there were MULTIPLE times where we were walking on campus and i would try to hold his hand and he’d shake it off 😭 talking about “people can see us” OMFG IM GETTING HEATED JUST TYPING THIS LOL but he also like never posted me on any social media platform. ever. like one time we went on a date to this museum and he was taking all these snapchats and videos of LA but never took one of me….? now listen, i usually don’t care about this stuff, like social media validation is whatever to me and i’m not gonna FORCE my s/o to post me HAHA but i just found it soooo sus that he kept me so private.
anyways by this point of our relationship we were like arguing everyday. like it was a MIRACLE if we had one (1) peaceful day. like we were the type to argue w/ each other at cheesecake factory (shoutout drake!) there were soooo many other things that he did too that i won’t go into because lowkey they’re really fucked up so i’ll spare y’all the fine details. and because we were so toxic, i asked him if he wanted to take a break (especially since this was around when COVID first hit and everyone was heading back home because campus was closing up and kicking people out). my ex said no and that he wanted to be with me even though we were gonna be like 2500+ miles apart. so we stayed together even after he moved back to his hometown.
but i had this weird gut feeling he was on tinder tho… this one time i like quickly glanced over to his computer when he had his email open and accidentally saw an email that said he had a “new tinder match!” so i was like wtf…. hmm… so when he moved back to his hometown and i stayed in LA, shit just only got worse and this gut feeling only grew stronger. so i made a fake tinder account, used tinder passport to set the location to his hometown, and swiped until i found him. it literally only took 6 swipes. we matched the next day and i texted him thru my fake tinder account and he responded.
NOW if you’re wondering why i didn’t just leave him when shit got toxic, here’s my answer: i was lowkey so scared of him LOL like there were so many close encounters with this man where i lowkey felt like (???) i was not safe? idk. so yea i was scared to break up w/ him because i didn’t know how he’d take it if i just left him “out of the blue.” i presumed that since i caught him cheating on me and i had a VALID REASON to break up w/ him, he’d let me go with little resistance. unfortunately i was wrong because he stalked me for like a year after that LOL oh how naive freshman year dice was </3
ANYWAYS tl;dr i made a fake tinder account, used tinder passport to set my location to his hometown, and matched w/ his slimy unwashed ass! there were other little hints and clues that pointed to him cheating on me for a while but it’s so long ago that i lowkey forgot HAHA

Hi, sometimes I'm looking for old Louis interviews, waiting for new content. I reviewed Louis' interview with Nick Grimshaw. I don't like him, I always thought he was jealous of Louis, so I ask you if you think that between Harry and Nick Grimshaw there was also a romantic relationship as well as friendship? (I never liked Harry as a person, I see him as capable of fucking the world for a career and I think he made Louis suffer / hurt a lot also in terms of betrayal).
I tend to think that Nick had a crush on Harry and Harry took advantage of it for self-promotion. Nick was an access to young English celebrities when Harry needed them. Nick was happy to be seen with a hot 1D star: socially he also benefited from the friendship.
There were fandom stories of Harry hanging out with Nick playing video games until the early hours. Also a few stories of Nick being publicly snarky toward Louis (e.g. the Fiji story) which… why. Wtf was the need?
HSHQ used Nick’s platform all through 2017 but after August 2018, they were done. They act cordial in public, but the friendship is in deep freeze. No romantic relationship. I feel like it’s not really an exes vibe.
Nick’s interview with Louis in 2017 was kind and very nice, I thought.

Do you find tumblr a good place to post world building?
I like it quite a lot, but I’ll be honest it’s not like there’s a lot of competition in terms of websites that allow me to do what I’m doing.
Maaaaybe you could do this with twitter too, by encouraging people to ask questions via Curious Cat so you can answer in more than 280 characters, which would match my use of tumblr pretty closely (posting art and answering asks being 99% of my content)
And of course stand alone blogging platforms would work but no one visits blogs anymore so you’d have to pick your social media poison and link your blog posts.
Maybe reddit? I know nothing about reddit my entire consumption of reddit is via youtube videos where other people read reddit posts. But I’ve heard there’s worldbuilders there.
Discord is nice for this if you wanna talk worldbuilding with a small cozy server. No idea what it’s like on the big ones big discord servers scare me.
But yeah I enjoy posting my worldbuilding here, I’ve got a good following of people who ask interesting questions that are fun to answer when I have the energy to answer questions. I get more than I can answer, but I’ve been here ten years and have built up a following.
There’s definitely moments where people are weird or even god awful but this appears to be true of literally any context in which you interact with any large number of strangers in rapid succession, at least in my personal experience.
Tumblr has definitely given me some doozies in terms of WTF and/or negative experiences but so has volunteering to work with the public at events or even just riding the bus (the bus stories are, in my opinion, way funnier though) and 99% of my time here is a pleasant experience

dumbassrights replied to your post “After the election fraud that happened in Bolivia was uncovered and...”
hey! are you bolivian? can you explain bolivians situation right now? everything i see is outsiders opinions and i know that i can't really trust that. if you can't, thats fine, thank you!
Hello! Yes I am Bolivian, though I currently live in a different South American country, but I’ve been keeping in touch with my family with WhatsApp and I try to keep up with the basic news from back home, so I think I can explain the basics.
The basic start is with Evo Morales, a cocalero (coca leaf grower) who became a politician and came to power as president in 2006. He’s the first indigenous president of Bolivia (he is Aymara), and when he came to power was widely seen as a game changer, destroying the oligarchical, upper white class hold on Bolivian politics. He was received with much fanfare, including from white leftists, who were keen on a president who would enact social reform and change and concentrate on helping reduce poverty and racism. I was too young to vote back then, but the majority of my family voted for Evo. He was... he was hope. It’s hard to explain. We thought it was the turning point. Finally, an indigenous president, someone who knew discrimination first hand and would be able to listen to the many indigenous peoples of our country. Someone who would fight imperialism, and the scars of colonialism.
He managed to do some good things. If I remember correctly, education spending and welfare spending increased, he increased the taxes on many companies, such as hydrocarbons, allowing the state to invest more and have less of a deficit. Bolivia also received an economic boom unrelated to his actions and policies (it had more to do with the price of minerals, since Bolivia is a mining country, and so on and so forth), so for a while poverty did reduce and the middle class grew. He also increased the number of indigenous and campesino (farmer/rural lands) representatives and their influence in politics.
However, as time went on, Evo’s party began to systematically remove any opposition they could, with many political leaders jailed for charges of tax evasion and the like. There is a lot of shady stuff going around that topic, and it’s too much to get into in a short explanation. It turned out that the party sought to remove any rising leadership, even within their party, that could threaten Evo’s dominance. His party also began to stack the legislative branch and pushing new judges through, setting up people who’d be grateful to him and thus legislate in his favor. While this was happening, MAS, the party’s social base, expanded their power and influence in other ways.
Now, the actual constitutional fuckery that angered a lot of leftists. He had the constitution rewritten in 2008 and it was approved in 2009, which had really mixed opinions from people, though I personally liked that he changed the name of “Republic of Bolivia” to “Plurinational State of Bolivia” to recognize the indigenous nations of Bolivia. The constitution maintained its two term limit for the presidency, but the thing was, he claimed that since there was a new constitution, his first mandate/government no longer counted, and he got it approved legally that he could run two more times again, which he did. Which like. What the fuck?
In the process, we began seeing cracks in his pro-indigenous, pro-environmental discourse. For example, he ignored and overulled the indigenous peoples of TIPNIS, a national park and indigenous territory, when they legally stated that they did not want a highway built through their lands, because it would bring in deforestation and cocaleros who are known for deforestation. He basically steamrollered over this, despite indigenous peoples of the TIPNIS walking all the way to the city of La Paz to make protests. He began to approve infrastructure projects that would destroy natural spaces, including hydroelectric dams that can and will flood Madidi, one of the most important national parks and biodeverse areas of Bolivia. And so on and so forth, he began to act in such a way that was at odds with the platform he ran, betraying indigenous peoples and Pachamama (mother earth) at every turn. He also never took any reasonable criticism in stride, blaming it all on American Imperialism.
However, because of MAS’ stronghold and no unity among the opposition, Evo ran two more terms after his first (including the third which really shouldn’t have been legally recognized), and he stated that after his third he wouldn’t stay in power.
If you guessed that he changed his mind or was lying, you’re right.
He called for a national referendum in 2016 for whether he should be allowed to run for a fourth term, but he lost the referendum, which voted “No”, though it was a narrow margin. And instead of respecting the will of the Bolivian people, he ignored it and pushed himself forward as a candidate for the next (these) elections, to the point that he pushed so that the Supreme Tribunal of Justice would rule that the constitution was inconstitutional (wtf) because it did not respect his right to reelection (wtf) and decided that no public office would have a term limit. I hope I don’t have to explain why that is just. A horrible decision for democracy. Term limits exist for a reason. It’s so no one person can get a stranglehold on power. After this it became clear to us that he had become enamoured with power, and was mainly seeking to establish himself in power indefinitely, which well, it pissed a lot of us off. It was heartbreaking too. To see someone we’d pinned our hopes on becoming... a dictator.
This finally brings us to three weeks ago, when the general elections were held. Now, in Bolivia, we have it so that any winner of the presidential elections has to have at least 10% points more than the guy in second place, or we go into a second round of elections between the higher scoring candidates. And as the official electoral authority reported throughout most of the counting process as results came in, Evo didn’t have the 10% lead needed to avoid a second round, and statistically even if the remaining votes were majority Evo, he wouldn’t be able to get the 10% needed. Also, the remaining votes were City votes, and the cities are in general, not Evo supporters anymore. Until at around 80% of all votes counted, the website and reporting of the electoral authority just. Stopped. It cut off. It cut off for 24 hours, during which the government first claimed that oh, it’d had some technical difficulties, and then (this part I actually don’t understand, so I’m paraphrasing what I maybe undersood) claimed that because some voting places had finished counting already, so they wouldn’t have two places reporting results, they stopped the main authority. Which like.
That’s really fucking fishy.
So people were really suspicious, and when the authority began reporting again those 24 hours later, reporting that oh, actually, Evo had won with the required 10%, a lot of people didn’t believe it. This smelled like electoral fraud. So people began gathering to protest because Evo shouldn’t have been running in the first place and now he wanted us to take this lie and swallow it.
Evidence came out over the next few days about electoral fraud: non-Evo vote ballots were found in trash bins, and the official databases of the electoral authority were found to have “irregularities” that all favoured Evo. People got pissed even as Evo claimed that it was imperialist forces and that the counts were all valid and legit and transparent. But the damage was done. Bolivians took to the streets in big numbers to protest and froze the cities, stopping transport and literally putting the cities in a standstill, only letting emergency services and food trucks coming to the supermarkets through so people could live. The protesters in the cities began to get threats, because Evo began trying to sell these protests as “the racist cities trying to stamp the rural vote”, from Evo supporters, that they’d shut the water supplies to the city off. Counter protesters began massing too. Clashes happened. Evo supporters were pushed out of the city of Cochabamba, but they set fire to the grasses around a city landmark and place of pride because they wanted to give a last fuck you. MAS supporters attacked hospitals that had protesters and even the doctors and nurses who weren’t supporting MAS. Photo and video evidence, and people coming forward, showed that the government was paying people to counter protest. The protesters were mostly non-violent, but there were clashes when the police wasn’t able to keep people separated. One mayor near Cochabamba was found to have paid two thugs to beat up protesters, to the point that one young man of 18ish was thought to be dead, and her hair was cut off and she was sprayed red - supposedly by protesters, but now there are cliams of people from her town that it was her own people that did it to make the protesters look bad. (My opinion? It could be either at this point, I don’t know). The protesters wore the Bolivian flag and called for democracy to be respected. The Evo supporters primarily wore the party flag, and got their hands on dynamite that they set off on streets to intimidate protesters. Protesters have died at the hands of Evo supporters - I haven’t heard of one case of dead Evo supporters. The police started to get unhappy, because they didn’t want to throw tear gas at the people protesting. To try and sweeten them, the goverment paid a bonus... but it turned out the bonus money was taken from the police officer’s pension. Police departments began to ... not sure if mutiny is the right word, but to defy the government, in several cities.
At first, people were pushing for a second round of elections, but when we realized that actually, legally, when there is fraud of a significant impact the elections have to be annuled and new ones held, and the people who did the fraud jailed, the movements began to call for new elections completely, with a new electoral authority that could be trusted.
In the meantime, the military was quiet and not sent out to repress anything even after the police began to rebel, with military subordinates presenting letters that they would not repress the people, while it was known that military high command is pro Evo.
While this was going on, the OEA, The Organization of American States, had issued from the start of the 24 hour blackout from the electoral authority that they had concerns about the election process. Evo ended up accepting an audit from OEA representatives, and said that he’d stand by their resolution. When they finally came out with a report saying there were serious irregularities in the election that cast it into doubt, he called it politically motivated, but did call for new elections...
Then the high commander of the military said Evo should resign so that the country can be peaceful again. And a few hours ago Evo presented his resignation to the presidency.
It’s not over by a long shot - we need to establish a transparent, trustworthy electoral process in record time and hold new elections, and people are afraid that Evo will take back his resignation, and Evo incited his supporters in his resignation speech - but we’ve managed to get this far after three weeks of non spot protests.
There’s a lot more going on, a lot of context I’ve skipped, on Evo, on the political opposition - including Camacho, a religious right wing religionalism whose gotten a worrying amount of support with the protests in reaction to Evo’s excesses - but so far, I am proud of Bolivia. We’ve not let a wanna-be dictator establish himself. Now we just need a good left wing leader to help build us up to the promise that Evo gave us, and to stand strong against right wing pendulum reactionaries.
I leave you with the protest chants that spread in Bolivia these past three weeks
Quien se cansa? Who gets tired? NADIES SE CANSA! NOBODY GETS TIRED! Quien se rinde? Who gives up? NADIES SE RINDE! NOBODY GIVES UP! Evo de nuevo? Evo again? HUEVO CARAJO! [Pun involving the word egg, which sounds like Evo, and a swear word that doesn’t have a translation]

Hi! I loved your tinder!AU for Veronica, really hope you decide to write the dating headcanons because there's so little content for her going around!
I gotchu anon, I gotchu.
Taglist: @somewillwin @belvoiresqueenbee @origmansello @clownery-is-a-new-personality @kamilahtrash @poppysminion @poppysimp @minsinclair-lee @poppysmc @iiizdumb @uselesslesbianfr @scattered-to-the-winds @idiot-justidiot @toyhenoctus @begoniathotia @otakufangirl-12 @malvinghlein
Tumblr media
Dating Veronica Lombardi
SFW
• The two of you formally meet after you and Poppy have that supposed truce, and whilst you have seen Veronica before, seeing her close up was a different experience entirely. She's drop dead gorgeous, you can't help but admit and you understand why she's top three alongside Poppy and Chloe because they're all pretty.
• Veronica is much more social than Poppy and Chloe, she's more friendly and actually attempts to befriend you. This is because she doesn't really care if Poppy gets angry, she's got her own platform so she's not scared to make new friends and she knows Poppy's not going to do anything to her.
• The two of you become fast friends and it's really fun because the two of you start to hang out where it's just the two of you. Your favourite spot to hang out is the cute little café by campus, and you learn that Veronica has a major sweet tooth.
• Veronica is also the type of person who's very affectionate, both in the way she speaks and acts. She's very touchy-feely and always likes hugging you whenever she sees you.
• If either of you is having a bad day, expect a lot of memes to be sent, some so obscure that it actually makes you feel better. There's also the fact that if you have spare time or if you're not doing anything the other gets food and drinks from the cafe and the two of you just talk to release stress.
• Veronica's instagram is quickly taken over by you, where it's almost always accompanied by #squadgoals and you just laugh because you didn't really think that you would be friends with her. Not because she wasn't nice or anything, just that she looked so intimidating when you first met. When you tell her about your first impressions she just laughs it off and tells you that she thought you were cute.
• You're confused because is she flirting??? The two of you actually become really close and the whole school notices, a few people start to assume that you're dating but they don't say anything.
• The two of you really like each other, but both of you are oblivious until Poppy and Chloe point it out by pulling you away to give you the talk. Both look intimidating as fuck, and you're highkey scared. "What the fuck is happening between you and Veronica? I swear if you try to hurt her you can kiss Belvoire goodbye." Poppy says whilst Chloe nods her head in agreement.
• You're confused because you and Veronica are just friends, until it clicks. 'Holy shit, am I into Veronica?' you think. (Da doy idiot, everyone thought it was obvious)
• When you finally admit it Poppy and Chloe, you don't notice it but Poppy sort of has a disappointed look. (I know this is for Veronica but I wanted Poppy to be sad because she could've have tried harder to befriend MC)
• "Holy shit, I like Veronica! Can you guys help me? I don't know if she likes me or not." you say and Poppy and Chloe just roll their eyes as they begrudgingly agree.
• Cue Poppy and Chloe being the worst wing women, Veronica gets more confused because what is going on?? Like why are the three of you acting so weird.
• You're about to give up because it looks like Veronica doesn't like you that way. That is until you and the top three girls of Belvoire go clubbing. Veronica notices that you were dancing with another person too close for her comfort, and she's immediately annoyed. She quickly pulls you towards her and glares at the other person who gets the message and leaves you alone.
• You're confused until you see the silent fury in Veronica's eyes. "Jealous V?" you tease and her eyes narrow as she kisses you. "I don't like seeing you with other people. Be mine?" she says and you're left flustered because you genuinely didn't think that she liked you.
• That's how you start dating, and because of this you actually get closer to Poppy and Chloe. The four of you become a force to be reckoned with, and this is because all of you actually become really close and you learn that Poppy and Chloe can actually be sweet when they want to be. All three of them have a soft spot for animals, so the four of you are always seen at the animal shelter volunteering.
• Veronica adores taking pictures of you and posting it on her socials because she wants to show you off. Everyone is confused because are the two of you dating or not? It's kept a secret until someone snaps a photo of you and Veronica kissing.
• You become well known on campus as the laid back couple, who genuinely just have fun no matter what they're doing.
• Be prepared to be in front of the camera, Veronica drags you to do tiktoks with her and you just roll your eyes because you're whipped and you're not complaining if it means that you see Veronica dance.
• She absolutely adores giving you her clothes to wear, especially if her clothes are a bit bigger on you than they are for her. She melts when she sees you and her story is filled by her fawning over how cute you look.
• Lots of PDA, especially when the whole school knows about your relationship. Poppy and Chloe are disgusted, because can you like not. They always make gagging noises whenever you're being affectionate in public, and both of you just give them the finger.
• Always has to be touching you, whether it be your hands, her hand on your thigh or whatever she just has to be touching you in some way.
• Does not get jealous often because she's very confident in your relationship but in the times she does get jealous expect her to kiss you senseless in front of everyone, and you're not gonna complain because she's a very good kisser.
• Arguments don't really happen unless it's about something stupid and in the rare times that you do argue, it becomes a game of who can avoid each other for longer and Veronica always loses because she hates arguing.
• Cuddles every weekend, and you're almost always at Veronica's room, so much so the Zetas think that you live there.
• Expect soft mornings where the two of you just stay in bed, cuddling for warmth and soft kisses being exchanged after waking up.
• Absolutely adores kissing you and leaving marks. Poppy and Chloe tease you by saying "Are you dating a vampire? Wtf your neck is all marked up." and you just smile and give them the finger. "Fuck off, you're just jelly I'm getting some." you quip back and the other two laugh.
• Actually a really good support system with Poppy and Chloe, all of you don't take shit from anyone or each other. You're quick to call each other out if one of you is being a bit bitchy or whatever.
NSFW
• Veronica is a hard top, who absolutely adores teasing you and having you at her mercy.
• Absolutely adores having you on her lap as she fucks you with the strap, mainly because she can see the expression on your face as she fucks you. Also adores seeing you ride her thigh, it's one of her major kinks.
• Not afraid to be handsy in public, especially at the most inappropriate times and you're left a blushing and flustered mess. When you get up and go to the toilet, expect her to follow after you, and things get frisky.
• Major biting kink, every inch of skin she can reach expect there to be bite marks or hickeys. She's really good at mixing pain and pleasure and it's very very hot.
• Enjoys having you eat her out whilst she's sitting on a chair, and her hands will guide you where she want you.
• Doesn't like choking but isn't above using a collar on you, so that she can tug on it to force your head to tilt back as she kisses and bites your neck.
