ENHYPEN, s/o who wears glasses
𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 : fluff
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 : none really, jokes
𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 : none
𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 : enha x gn!reader
author’s note : where my glasses pookies at?!? 😔
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐥𝐡𝐬.
honestly thinks you’re so cute
obviously without your glasses you’re still cute but he thinks they make you look even more adorable
literally gushes over you
he tries to help you be careful with them
he’ll remind you to take them if you’re forgetting them for work or class or smth
“baby, don’t forget your glasses, okay?”
loves how they come down your nose when you’re really focused or just in general
wears his glasses around the house so you two can match (even if they aren’t the exact same frames)
he loves when your frames get pushed all against your nose when he kisses you , thinks it’s cute (idk it’s heeseung)
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐣𝐣𝐩.
the responsible one out of the two of you
makes sure you’re extra careful
tells you not to fall asleep with them on
..you do the exact opposite of what he said
he takes them off for you when you do (+ a little kiss on the nose cause you look too cute while sleeping :< )
he goes out of his way to prevent you from breaking those things
“y/n, if you break those, i’m not buying you a new pair.”
ends up buying you a new pair
might even buy a matching set for himself
cleans them for you
makes sure you’re wearing them at all times
“babe, you know you can’t see so just put them on.”
you comply :(
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐣𝐬.
literally LOVES glasses on you
another one that thinks you look so stinkin adorable
he’s there at the eye doctor, when you first get them
is so scared for you when you have to do the puff test 😭
“babe, what if it takes your eye out or something-“
“jake, it’s just air 🙁”
helps you pick out the frames
he’s actually got really great taste
is the “how many fingers am i holding up?” type
he has so many pics of you with your glasses
and of you and him with matching frames
you have to keep them away from him cause he can be really.. clumsy
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐩𝐬𝐡.
im not even gonna lie to you, he calls you a nerd
but in an affectionate way of course
makes sure you're wearing them at all times even if you don't like them
"hoon, pls i hate them sm, they make me look like a nerd 🙁"
"so? you need them. and you're my nerd."
surprisingly, he’s way more responsible than you
another one who’s extremely careful with them and makes sure you are as well
secretly thinks you’re so attractive with them
it’s kind of not a secret though cause you see him stare at you a lot more when you wear them vs when you don’t
either way you’re cute, doesn’t really matter to him
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐤𝐬𝐰.
another one that loves glasses on you
a lot of the times , people see glasses as something to be insecure about but sunoo doesn’t really think much about it
of course he notices them but he thinks they add character
he buys a matching pair just like jay
he definitely likes to study with you just so you can match (idk it just sounds so cute)
loads of cute library selcas with you
i feel like he’d buy you all types of different frame styles
he likes taking pics with your glasses even though you tell him it’ll hurt his eyes
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐲𝐣𝐰.
‘how many fingers am i holding up’ pt 2.
also cleans them for you pt 2.
adjusts them for you if the slide down your nose or if they’re all the way against your face
he always says they compliment your eyes
he’s just so 🥹💔
mocks how you squint when you don’t have them on 😭
definitely helps you pick them out
he tries the different pairs on with you when you’re at the eye doctor
don’t tell him you like more than one pair cause then he’s gonna get all of them for you
“jungwon, seriously, it’s okay I’ll just get these-“
“where’s the other pair you liked?”
ᖭི༏ᖫྀ 𝐧𝐫𝐤.
calls you a nerd pt 2.
takes your glasses cause he knows you can’t see without them 💀
WILL NOT give them back until you give him a kiss
it’s giving “where my hug at?” 🤨
other than that, he loves the way they look on you
pretends he doesn’t know you when you walk out of the doctors’ office with your new frames
“who is that fine babe 😩”
niki.. sthu🧍🏽♀️
wears his glasses more often because of you (have yall seen that boy in glasses ??? omg 😫😫)
ngl he’s probably the reason you break them
too much roughhousing
“RIKI OMG-“
will definitely buy you a new pair
+ free kisses n food cause he didn’t mean to do it :/
author’s note: im sorry this is so short. also, if i see another enha tour clip i just might jump into a lake (i can’t swim)

and i just had to say that i'm so happy you got into p1h, they're so talented i kinda loved how they trapped you lmao !
anyway, i haven't sent an ask about them yet because i was busy BUT i'd love to hear your thoughts about them and choking (receiving or giving). and it's not at all because i can never stop thinking about jiung and his beautiful hands wrapping around my throat, noooo !
a/n: yk we love choking in this household!! ohh they did trap me and they’re never letting me go!! lmk if you agree <3
# p1harmony + choking
keeho is the one i see being equally turned on by both giving and receiving!! (this theory drives me a bit crazy ngl) he’s the type to go with the flow when it comes to sex - you start kissing and time tells if he’s the one who’s going to lead you or the other way around; or you just rotate between both dynamics cause that works perfectly with him too. my point is he’s pretty chill when it comes to this and he always leaves you to do whatever you wish to him so choking turning into one of his main kinks is inevitable. plus, he finds it really hot when you show off your dominant side. he has a really good time when you jerk him off with one hand squeezing his throat and the other one stopping just when he’s about to cum (and he wouldn’t be afraid to admit it)…
taeyang enjoys having your hand on his neck while you ride him, especially on days when he’s exhausted and just wants to lay down and you do the work (he wouldn’t admit it like keeho tho). however, most of the time he’s choking you. he feels powerful when he has a hold of your neck especially when he sees your excited reaction. out of everyone i have a feeling there’s a chance that he’s into breath play the most, and if you’re into it, he might leave you to fight for air for a few seconds… he prefers doing it when he’s on top and you’re laying on your back cause he gets to watch your desperate face and the way you grip his arm as you cum
jiung prefers to choke you, because the amount of arousal this brings you pleasantly surprises him every single time. he goes crazy when he feels your walls clench, because of his grip hugging the sides of your neck, and the way the sounds of your moans change the longer he keeps his hand. he also loves watching your mouth hanging open; moving only to tell him that he can squeeze a little more. despite the roughness of his hand the soft dom in him is not forgetting to compliment you for how pretty you look when you let him take control even over your own breathing. his weak point is when you choke on his name…
intak loves choking you. he’s the type to have his hand around your neck even when you’re simply making out. he likes the sight of his palm wrapping perfectly around your throat; it makes you look even smaller and weaker and that really turns him on. he likes choking you while playing with your pussy too. he’d get so cocky if he catches you getting wet from his hand resting around your neck and just a few kisses… he’d squeeze a bit harder and mock you for being so easy to please. he doesn’t mind agreeing to you choking him during sex, but no matter how strong your grip is he’s still gonna be dominating you with his hands and the rest of his body. in contrast to jiung’s praises, i feel like choking unlocks intak’s degradation kink, and if you’re into it, then he’s most likely whispering filthy words at your ear with his raspy voice as he fucks you from behind

NPD culture is being very picky on the supply you get. You—you don’t do it on purpose. And you’re so jealous of people who can get supply easily. Having a high maintenance brain sucks. Compliments don’t work because they always feel condescending and back-handed and patronizing. It feels like they’re lying. Gifts don’t work because they feel low-effort and also somehow condescending and manipulative. Praise is a coin-toss, either it does work or it doesn’t. Because it has to be overly specific and backed up by “facts” or else your brain thinks they’re just doing out of pity and not because they actually believe/mean the things they said. Why is my brain essentially cock-blocking me from supply??? Why won’t any attention do? Why must it be hyper specific? If my brain is convinced I didn’t “earn it” then it feels like the person giving supply is secretly mocking me or acting like they’re better than me. Why??? Why can’t I just appreciate that someone has taken the time to praise me/etc???
A lot of supply just feels like a kid being given a participation award out of pity. I don’t want a participation award. I want to work to earn it, because then my brain will finally believe that I deserve it. It can’t just be given to me or else my brain will destroy it immediately. I have to earn it. But I have no energy to unfortunately. So I’m stuck in this situation where I genuinely cannot get supply unless it’s from specific people and/or situations. Why must it feel like so much supply is “low-effort” and that I deserve better than that?? It feels like the entitlement itself is entitled—it already feels entitled to praise and stuff, but it also wants it to be good and to meet it’s high standards/expectations. I hate having high expectations/standards. No matter what, I’m always unhappy—it’s never enough. Friends, supply, etc. It always feel like something’s missing, like it’s never enough. And I hate that, because it makes me feel like I’ll never be happy.

It’s strange to me that people have latched on the idea that Ianthe is some sort of Evil, when she actually is one of the chillest characters in the series. Like she won’t hurt you unless the situation is very dire, she won’t mock you or bully you, she won’t enjoy your suffering. Her treatment of Babs is likely something that is both very performative and likely done for the audience and also Babs likely didn’t perceive it the way we do (until the very end). She is entitled, brash and probably a horrible boss. That’s it. Harrow is so much worse. The way Harrow treated Gideon is just plain worse than the way Ianthe had ever treated Babs, and Ianthe wasn’t actually in love with Babs. For example, Ianthe is in love with Harrow, so Ianthe is usually gentle, eager and helpful to Harrow, respects her boundaries and never pushes her, but also only lets Harrow push her around once, when she didn’t really know her, and then obviously regrets it and continuously cuts Harrows bullshit. Like yeah she gaslighted her, but actually I’m not even sure that she did???? Harrow is schizophrenic! I straight up don’t understand what was happening with Cytheria….. I might be wrong but I am still not convinced that the body was there. It seems very strange because Ianthe literally never behaved like this before or again? And also gaslighters always gain shit from their gaslighting?? Yeah, Gideon thinks that it was gaslighting, but how can Gideon be sure?
I straight up think that if Harrow and Gideon were in the position where they had a third cavalier, say Ortus, Harrow might have killed and eaten him, too, to spare Gideon and become lyctor. Sure, Harrow should have given an honorable excuse or something, but so what?
I agree with some of it! I think by TLT standards Ianthe doesn’t cut it as a villain (she wishes! She isn't.) She’s just… a very unpleasant personality. More about it below.
Getting the last point out of the way first: would Harrow have killed and eaten Ortus?
Ok. Ok, you know what. I think yes.
The thing is, Harrow isn’t pursuing Lyctorhood for immortality. She pursued Lyctorhood because she sees it as the only way to begin to make amends for the genocide that gave her life. If she had been born under different circumstances, Harrow would have turned her back on Lyctorhood rather than kill, because she doesn't care about more power or immortality. All she REALLY cares about is her House and the Tomb.
But I also think Harrow doesn’t think she has a choice. Lyctorhood IS her path to saving her House. She wouldn't have killed Gideon (and hated herself for it) because she's in love with Gideon but also because Gideon suffered so much at the hands of the Ninth, and her hands especially. But I think she would have killed Ortus. She would have hated herself for it, it would have wrecked her, but... to HER, this is duty. “You’re already two hundred sons and daughters of our House, what’s one more?” except now it’s Harrow @ herself. She would've been a very bitter Lyctor. Mercymorn vibes.
As for Ianthe... 700 words of babygirl meta blabber under the cut
On Ianthe and Harrow: their dynamic says A LOT about Ianthe as a person, I think, so obviously it’s pretty messed up. As you said, Ianthe was actually pretty helpful to Harrow, but she was also very backhanded about it and her support came with a side of negging. I think that’s just Ianthe’s approach to interpersonal relationships because she does the same things with Corona. See also how she reacts when Augustine compliments her before the dinner. She’s pretty insecure in social situations, and her default mode, when confronted with people whose opinion she actually cares about, is to make them feel worse about themselves. You know, so they won’t think they’re too good for her.
Ianthe is in love with Harrow, so … [she] respects her boundaries
IDK if she’s in love but she’s definitely in Something. The point about boundaries is so interesting actually; it’s not always true, but it’s obvious that Ianthe wants Harrow to choose her. She has 0 issues fucking with Harrow’s hair after the lobotomy (definitely boundary violation and manipulative; it makes Harrow doubt her own body!) but when she walks into a naked Harrow post-bathroom attack, physically exhausted and mentally drained, needy and helpless, ready to throw herself at Ianthe’s feet… Ianthe just leaves. She walks away instead of taking advantage of the situation because she knew Harrow didn’t really want her.
I don’t know if this is a case of Ianthe coming to care about Harrow’s boundaries as she comes to care for Harrow, or if her personal morality thinks that ‘violation of bodily autonomy’ is fine but ‘having sex with someone in a moment of emotional vulnerability’ is much less so. Who knows! But I think that Ianthe, despite all her bragging to Gideon that the centuries would tangle them together or whatever, would never actually force Harrow because she values Harrow’s opinion of her.
On Cytherea’s body: if the body was there, then Wake could clearly appear and disappear on the Mithraeum and there’s no reason why she wouldn’t have done that before Harrow came back with Ianthe, because she wasn’t there later when Harrow checked. If she was never there, she was never there. I don’t think Ianthe lied.
Ianthe & People
Like… she won’t hurt you unless the situation is very dire, she won’t mock you or bully you
This is the part I disagree with. Yeah, she won’t, but that’s just because she avoids people at all costs. If she had to deal with people… she WOULD mock or bully you, though I don’t think Ianthe goes out of her way to be cruel. Going by the Cohort files + the reputation of both Third heirs in GtN, Ianthe at Ida was mostly a loner who disappeared in social situations, and only let her Freak Flag fly around Corona and Babs. — but it isn’t necessarily about Ianthe’s character. It’s just that she only cares about, like, two people in the whole galaxy. Maybe three. Yes, she was horrified by the idea of destroying the Houses, but I think she covers up her own insecurities with petty cruelties towards anyone who might be nearby, given the chance.
(I have very little idea of what Lyctor Prince Naberius is like during her War Crimes Era, because idk how much of what we see in NtN reflects how Ianthe usually behaves and how much is posturing + the current crisis. But I don’t think she’s especially chill — she’s on her last nerve)
On Ianthe and Babs: I’m not sure how much was a performance, how much was the reality, and how Babs felt about it. I think Canaan House was a major turning point for the Third, because everyone in their triad knew that the ruse would be up sooner than later, and they were absolutely boiling over it. I think Ianthe and Babs definitely didn’t get along on a personality level (she always invited to her birthday whoever Babs didn’t want to see!) but had a decent working relationship with occasional constructive parts (Ianthe’s ‘you can’t help to care about your cavalier’ was about Babs; she compliments his needlepoint then immediately deflects with a joke about killing him.) It was Fraught.

Kokichi with a very tall (like around 6’1), curvy S/O who is very insecure. He flirts with her constantly but she always thinks he’s making fun of her because she doesn’t think anyone would like her. They’re not together yet.
Height differences are always great, but add in some insecurity and outward affection? *chefs kiss*
----------
Kokichi with Tall Curvy Insecure S/O
When he first met you god damn did he want to climb you like a tree
He was already used to being short so anyone he liked was naturally taller than him. But you being 6' 1" was something he never experienced. You were a LITERAL foot taller than him! He was entranced
Pretty much instantly he turned on the Ouma charm~
And by Ouma charm I mean the charm of a middle school boy pulling the pigtails on the girl he likes
His flirting is a bit more of a teasing type. It not anything bad, but he definitely likes to poke fun and joke around
Whenever you do something like eat a weird food or have an odd hobby, he likes to playfully gasp
"Aw, you like ketchup on your hot dog? Man, I don't know if this is gonna work out between us anymore..."
You tend to watch TV as a group with your friends. Anytime a couple kisses on screen, Kokichi likes to nudge you in the side
"Hey hey! You know, that could be ussss~ Come on, come on!"
When next to you he likes to give little pokes and pinches to your body, and when you look he gives his little shit eating grin
"You can't blame me when you have a body like that, I can't help myself! You're just too cute!"
Whenever you catch him eyeing you, he gives a little wink
You do notice most of his compliments focus on your body, so it seems like he just wants to get in your pants. I mean, he does. But he actually really thinks you are adorable and so kind! Everytime you laugh or smile he can feel himself melt inside
Anytime you walk in the room he instantly perks up, everyone can see that clearly. He'll jump up from his seat and call out your name sweetly to get your attention
Although he almost constantly washes you with praise and makes flirty comments, they really only make you feel worse. In the past you've had very bad experiences with relationships. There were even a few boys that asked you out as a joke. It fucking hurt then, and it still does now
Also, you've heard from the others how much he likes to lie to others and cause problems. If he's such a well known liar, how could you trust he's being genuine with you? He's probably lying so you'll fall for him, then pull the rug out from under you and laugh
At first you seemed to blush and play along, but as time went on Kokichi noticed you become more and more distant. Sometimes you would even walk right out of a room if you saw him. He knew he shouldn't care that much, you're just a girl. But he soon found himself following you
The more he tried to sweet talk you back, you just kept on walking faster. Eventually it got too much and you just exploded. You told him off, telling him he can stop mocking you already. You were already broken down by the past decade of your life, he didn't need to add onto it
This was the only time you've ever seen him serious. There was no cheeky smile or trickster eyes. The look on his face was almost scary with how serious it was, it sent a chill down your spine
"...Mock you? That's what you think I've been doing?"
As you nervously nodded your head he kept his glare, but then his face gently softened. He opened and closed his mouth multiple times, you could sense his hesitation and inner conflict with his words
When he managed to find the words, his voice was... oddly meek?
"Tch, really? I can't believe I fell for a dumbass like you..." It was in a condescending tone, but his averting eyes showed his anxiety. It was quiet and low, but you heard it loud and clear
Overwhelmed by emotions of all kinds, you quickly wrapped your arms around him. You don't know why you did it, your body just acted on it's own
His body was stiff. Kokichi isn't used to affection, especially physical. Everyone he knows pushes him away both literally and emotionally. This was... weird. Sure he found himself crushing on you, but the reciprocation was NOT expected. Eventually he found himself hugging you back
There were no more words spoken in that moment. It wasn't needed
From then on, Kokichi still continued to tease you, but this time, you understand his intentions and enjoy it
----------
Jesus lord this turned out long, I am so sorry-
{Like my work? Consider tipping me on Ko-fi! Every little bit counts~}

Is The Owl House Timeless?
So this morning I made a blog about how the main thing required for something to be timeless is for it to be at least decently enough written to connect with an audience and that it had to have an emotion that the audience could connect with. A universal feeling that could cross race, gender, religion or even, yes, time. I used It’s a Wonderful Life as my example then.
I bet a lot of you who read it though were waiting for me to talk about TOH though because I know a LOT of people in the fandom at one point expected TOH to not only be timeless but a classic. The new Avatar the Last Airbender or the new Harry Potter (especially in what people wanted for its popularity with the latter). Both of those works are indeed timeless, as much as I am loath to compliment Harry Potter.
Is The Owl House? Individually, I think one could argue specific episodes and maybe the first season but the real reason I wanted to do this follow up blog is that satire and comedy almost always ages the worst. As worldviews change, what was mocked might not seem like it was in such good taste. How many 80s/90s college comedies like Animal House now feel kind of tacky when viewed from a modern lens? Or at least kind of misogynistic with their treatment of women?
I don’t think there are many element in TOH that are going to be as yikes as stuff like that someday but I think there’s already been a turn against it. It claimed to be progressive but in the end gave few real answers to that which it wanted to claim it was better than and even fell into many of the same holes as other works like it fell into. Its comedy is often stale and rooted in needing to be in its exact same mindset in order to be able to enjoy it.
Frankly, the style of satire, comedy and social commentary kind of makes me think of the spoof movie craze in the mid 2000s. You know, stuff like the constant sequels to Scary Movie, or Action Movie, etc. like that. TOH NEVER gets as bad as those, don’t get me wrong, but they’re both taking the same approach to their writing of these elements.
Rather than tackling it with a human emotion, something anyone can latch onto, they’re looking for buzzwords, specific gripes and incredibly specific tropes/references. Then they nail it to a board so they can hammer away until it’s damn near unrecognizable and whatever point was there is lost because they’re using a blunt object when a scalpel is required.
A LOT of people way better at this than me have talked about how a lot of things that want to be ‘satirical’ or ‘subversive’ are nowhere near as good as Mel Brooks but rather than talk about why his subversion is allowed while so many people fuck it up, I just want to talk about why they’re so often still timeless.
Blazing Saddles is the easy one. Human stupidity, greed and hate is always going to exist so rooting your comedy in both a genre and time period known for being exceptionally stupid, greedy and hateful, all while it normally tries to pretend it’s not, is just brilliant. Frankly, the main change from some Westerns to Blazing Saddles is that it’s willing to recognize bigotry and state it as bigotry, rather than try to justify it as a noble crusade or the like.
How about Space Balls though? One line tells you that they know what makes Star Wars both good and also exceptionally silly: “Evil will always win... Because good is dumb.” You want to criticize the fantasy genre as a whole? THAT is how you do it because we’ve all gotten fed up by meat headed heroes who walk into an obvious trap instead of thinking for literally five seconds but we also still like seeing those same meat heads win! It also plays into the ego in most fantasy villains as well as their hubris, as such working as just a general villain line but with the bluntness and delivery needed for it to be a joke instead.
TOH never really has this. Honestly, the best moment it comes to it is probably when the crackpot human curator seems so close to the truth before going off the deep end into conspiracy theories. I’ve literally had a friend do that to me once where I thought they were sane and rational until one night they told me, and I quote “You could have a catgirl girlfriend, it’s just that no one’s willing to admit that they’re real.” It’s a genuinely good subversion away from there being a mastermind villain and instead he’s just some loon who managed to be about 20% right in this case and that’s enough to make them dangerous. And mocking that level of insanity, of someone who has just lost themselves entirely in a rabbit hole that everyone else knows is unhealthy, is a common thread for many, especially in the modern age. It’s not like people in Ancient Greece never had to deal with some loon who thought the end of days was coming though.
Most of the time though? Most of the time it’s stuff like the Golden Snitch reference where it’s not even referencing a common trope in fantasy writing but specifically calling out a very singular thing. Where if you don’t know Harry Potter, or even worse LIKE QUIDDITCH, then you have nothing to connect to there. Maybe Luz’s outrage over losing due to a technicality but it’s not even a technicality. It’s just being outplayed and so the closest to a more universal feeling is betrayal but the joke spends so much time on rage at the literal trope, instead of even what Boscha did, that the thread at bare minimum gets lost.
And that’s much of TOH’s elements like these. They have a theoretical point to them but along the way, they lose their point or focus, or are so focused that they miss the universal element that’s right there. Take The First Day. Luz is someone who has struggled in school because of being bullied and an oddball. This was a great chance to really connect with every child who feels left behind by the school system because they won’t cater to them.
Except... It doesn’t work here. Her complaint isn’t that she can’t learn, that how things are being taught don’t work for her either because she learns differently or her brain processes things differently, etc. like that. Instead, it’s that she COULD learn whatever single subject she is stuck on but that’s not what she WANTS to learn.
Even the detention kids are the same way. Viney in S2 is established as one of the best healers in the school despite her multi-classing but it’s got nothing to do with her multi-classing. As such, strict healing magic is something she learns just fine. It’s just that she’s not being allowed to be creative with it.
And THAT is an interesting topic to discuss, schools stifling creativity or needing to give opportunities for it, but the narrative context stops that. They never say it because it would get in the way of their point but the school should say they allow single tracks because it’s literally illegal for them to do otherwise. That can allow a theme of how industry and government too often dictate the priorities of our schooling and how that’s a bad thing. That would even fit within the themes of TOH where the individual is crushed by the monopoly. By the ‘normal’.
But they don’t do that because they have a different goal in mind. And this is why being well written is part of my criteria for being timeless. Again, not perfect, but an invested audience in TOH should also have that nagging question of why the coven system isn’t getting brought up in this episode. The EC is brought up as the basilisk disguises themselves as an inspector, but never that the Emperor would potentially close the school entirely if they were to allow mixed classes because that goes against both the coven system and the Titan.
It instead just never comes up so while it has a theoretical point it’s trying to make, the resonance is lost as a reasonable question, a genuine plot hole, grows wider and wider with every passing minute until the moment an audience should cheer for creativity winning out, for the need for flexible thinkers to be shown, is still met with some amount of confusion as people wonder why the show still hasn’t said ANYTHING about the coven system properly in this entire episode, even as now Hexide does frankly the biggest act of rebellion in perhaps the entire show.
And that is when TOH is GOOD. The later TOH goes on, the more and more a disconnect can be felt between the theme or resonance the writers are going for and what they’ve actually setup until S3 is pulling things out of its ass left and right because it can’t even do an identity arc with a clone, a sci fi staple to put it mildly, right because it literally can’t focus on anything long enough to make it function. Or its actions are too contradictory to keep you invested, like in Reaching Out where Luz is willing to at least tell 75% of her problem to Eda and King but then acts like she literally cannot, lest she die instantly on the spot, tell Amity or even think about it for all of five seconds.
As I concluded my last blog: Resonance should be something that all writers as a base element of writing should strive for. Bare minimum, it should resonate with the writer and that will help it resonate with others. How well you can make your writing be able to resonate beyond yourself though is the real test for a good story and a good writer.
And while obviously the fandom for TOH proves it resonated with many, myself even at one point, I wonder how many it still resonates with today? And especially as time wears on and tests the claim of it truly being transcendent of the moment it was created, or if it will just look like a relic to be left behind.

What are your thoughts on the Martells and Starks and a potential North/dornish alliance ? I must admit I'm biased as those two are my favorites houses, yes there are no "good guys" but that who we would should be rooting for imo. For me they both represent the struggle of indigenous people and a satisfying end for both of them should be their freedom. They're far from being friends but as a reader it's so frustrating to see because they have no actual reasons to not work together, quite the opposite. A lot of their goals align, and they have for a while and it's even more obvious with the Stark/Lannister war. And I must admit I love Preston Jacobs dornish master plan videos. I might not agree with all of it but I love the depth and importance it gives dorne and the Martells, one that should've been Central in the series imo. I can't help but think of an alternative version where Robb survives and somewhat ends up alone in Dorne. A Robb x Arianne relationship/alliance would've been amazing to see, they would learn so much from each other.
And ofc he/him lesbian older sister Robb otherwise it's not fun skskskskks
A stark/martell alliance is literally my AU of AUs. like will it plausibly ever happen in the story, no but it's something I've always wanted!
i think one of the big failings of GRRM is not significantly establishing the North/First Men as essentially an indigenous culture, because... they are! They're meant to be wholly different than the rest of the country and that's how they're codified in the text both in how their culture differs from the rest of Westeros and how they're perceived. But no, the most that we get is Fur and York Accents.
I think also it matters to the Starks in how they individually relate to their culture; you have Catelyn as the outsider, they way in which the kids all take after her, except for Arya. I think for Sansa as well, the one who embraces her mother's culture the most, who would essentially "pass" as Southron yet still feel so othered and pushed back to her Northern heritage-- I think there would be so much to explore by really fleshing First Men culture as more than just ideals about honor and justice.
The opportunity to draw from Central Asian influences was RIGHT THERE george. THE EASTERN SLAVS ARE RIGHT THERE GEORGE.
Not to mention, the Red Wedding should really be regarded as genocide, not just war crimes. I mean, EYE personally view it as a such, as the point of it was to break the power of the North, wipe out its next generation and humiliate them beyond repair. Not to mention the desecration of Robb Stark was meant to mock the entire identity of the North, not just a specific family
And then you think of the history the Dornish conquests, which blows an entire hole in the "Targaryen Imperialism is Good Actually".
But yeah, I really wish the Dornish have more cultural details besides just hair and skin colors and how they’re just saurrrr excotique and sexy~ (I want regional accents and languages George, I want region-specific clothing, food, music, all of it!!) But I think the Dornish and Northern code of ethics compliment each other well despite how fundamentally different they still are! I would love to see how these two groups would interact. Actually, put Dacey and Obara together in a locked room and lets see what happens
It is interesting to think about how the Starks and Martells suffer very personal losses at the hands of the Lannisters and never being able to have vindication for it. My dream AU is an Alliance of “You Hate the Lannisters, We Also Hate the Lannisters, Lets Have a Pact of Mutually Hating the Lannisters Together”. And then Oberyn rescues Sansa before she can marry Tyrion, just SOMETHING.
Robb ending up in Dorne would also be insane because it would be the third time a Stark was there-- Rickon, son of Cregan who died. Jon who was born, and now (girl) Robb who lives. Things would probably get just a wee bit messy with the Young Griff alliance BUT ARIANNE HAS TWO HANDS. And also Robb and Sansa can reunite there and that could be rly sweet too.
god im sorry this went so off topic but STARK/MARTELL ALLIANCE, I LIKE IT!!

May I please ask for poly la squadra headcanons (Sorlato included) with my Tira please
https://www.tumblr.com/crazyyanderefangirlfan/708253472236142592/tira-columbina
Also Hi I’m new
Hello!
This is a great amount of info to analyze, so I hope you forgive me if there’re any inconsistencies.
She is probably the closest with Risotto, Formaggio and Prosciutto. Risotto appreciates her softer side paired with professionalism. Prosciutto can discuss how to better other members’ skills and general well-being with her, coordinating their methods. Formaggio likes to mess with her, as he does with everybody else, but at least she’s actually fun.
Risotto is a very busy man that takes no nonsense from anybody. However, he is a little more relaxed in her company – her Stand is very strong, so at least he doesn’t have to worry THAT much about something happening to her.
Ghiaccio is always riled up, and the dolls do get on his nerves every time he sees them in the “wrong” place. He starts screaming immediately, the noise gathering others, and doesn’t stop until Risotto tells him to shut up or Melone manages to calm him down. The worst thing Tira can do is actually argue with him. He will apologize after an hour or so, of course, but for the love of God, have her keep the dolls out of the shared spaces strictly. They have an image to maintain.
Melone, on the other hand, is rather pleased with the dolls. Hell, he’d play with them if Tira asked. Illuso may mock him however much he wants, but if it makes Tira happy, Melone is happy as well. He is very curious about them regardless. Who made them, how long ago, how rare they are, do they have names, does she believe they’re haunted (he’s ecstatic if they are)… He wants to know everything.
Pesci is scared of the porcelain dolls. Barbies and such are fine, but those porcelain, possibly haunted ones… Illuso, Formaggio, Sorbet and Gelato forced him to watch one too many scary movies, please keep the dolls away from this guy or he might get a stomachache from all the stress. That mammoni…
Prosciutto is probably the most fitting and most similar to her out of the bunch. He has a lot of respect and care for her, his gallantry fits compliment her feminine visage, in public they look like a movie couple, and out of that, they probably coexist just as harmoniously, a few specific kinds of situations excluded.
Illuso is an ass, we all know that. No idea how Tira even tolerates him, probably wants to strangle him to death from time to time? He does tease her less than others, though, almost as rarely as he does Prosciutto, for an obvious reason – he knows she’d fight back. If he sees her angry or upset, he hides into the mirror and stays there. However, as rare and unusual it is for him to offer anybody comfort, Tira is probably the only person who gets such treatment.
Formaggio is a sweet guy while she’s on his good side. He doesn’t mind the dolls at all, even shrinking himself to their size as a joke. If she has a dollhouse, he will happily agree to shrink them both to hang out there (who’s useless now, huh, Illuso?). But if he’s in a certain mood or if they had a fight… Well, Formaggio is one of the crueler members of the squad. He won’t start a full-blown Stand fight (by God, he knows he’d lose), but he has many other ways to get on her nerves until they either have a shouting match or she gets so upset he feels bad and immediately tries to make up for his little shit ways.
Sorbet and Gelato are very hard to tolerate unless you are them. Sorbet is mostly just…silent. He doesn’t talk to people. He may love them as much as he is able to love, but he won’t talk to people unless he has something to criticize or money to demand. Gelato is extremely clingy. When he’s not glued to Sorbet, he’s glued to Tira, either following her around like a puppy (more like a bloodthirsty war hound, but anyways) or demanding to cuddle. And if she denies him, he gets upset, then angry and then vindictive.
However much she enjoys teasing others up to smacking them jokingly, Illuso, Risotto and Prosciutto would take none of this shit. Formaggio or Gelato may laugh it off, Melone and Sorbet just ignore it, Ghiaccio grumble but otherwise just take it, poor sweet Pesci is used to it. But Illuso WILL change her alarm to Barbie Girl and hide some of her stuff in the mirror world and Prosciutto WILL scold her for such a show of disrespect. Risotto will just give her a glare and silent treatment. They take their tough guy image very seriously. Especially Prosciutto.
Her kindest gestures do raise a lot of questions to others. Most sigh and move on with their life, Illuso and Formaggio may take a couple jabs at her, but… Sorbet and Gelato are dumbfounded, not in a good way. Sorbet thinks it is unwise (what do you mean, you entertain children FOR FREE?), Gelato, being a cruel man in general, may even sabotage it all. It’s not out of malice or spite (so they assure themselves), they are just concerned that she will “grow soft”.
Risotto and Pesci are by far the most accepting of her being generally a better person than them all. They find it endearing, a reason to love her more. As long as she does everything well, this is a good quality. Formaggio, Melone and Sorbet are always trying to push her to be a bit meaner. After all, if she’s a good person, they feel inadequate. They need to bring her down to their level.
Any time there is a fight between the guys, it eventually turns into “hey, Tira, tell him he’s wrong”, as if she is their mom or something. All in all, them being mostly very competitive as well, they ARE fighting for her attention from time to time (even Pesci tries to do that, except he gets shut down very quickly).
I hope you like these!

“You’re a woman Sarah. You’re not as free as you think you are.”

GIVE US BLACK DICK AND WE FEAR NOTHING
That’s a nice ship. Be a shame if someone set it on fire.
This soldier looks like he’s in fucking preschool
“We were phishing sir”
“Is there anyone the boss doesn’t know!?”
Phishing for facts
Well James you fucked up
Make friends with the press
Imagine Sarah stood up on the boat during her outburst and they all fell in the water
Time to dramatically sulk in my colonial dress.
“I’m sorry you feel that way.” Uhhh gaslight much!?
She looks like she’s watching a battle from a castle in 11th century England.
Gonna poke some holes in your ship nbd
When you have a hard time controlling your character in the underwater levels.
Sarah how are you so compassionate like that after what they did.
“Nothing would change my loyalty to my friends.” That could be romantic if it pertained to just James.
The First Fourth of July
Ah yes, the origin story of why these apes called Americans are so obsessed with blowing shit up.
I need more posters for this show
Hessians are here
Imagine if England did win though
George why so sexy
Oh fuck the Brits invited Germany!?
Why is James alone with George Washington
Henri you dumbass
The Hessians are here ✨
Henri like a lil papillon barking
DR FRANKLIN DR FRANKLIN DR FRANKLIN
“I shan’t let you out of my sight!” Sarah to James and then later their children
Looking into a congress meeting will never be this easy again.
“I’m a journalist” “Yay for you”
Words have great power, especially if your girl wants you to propose properly.
Larry Daley was Thomas Jefferson before Night of the Museum.
NATM: Revolution Edition
Sarah you cunning beast
“Especially when defying a king.” Damn.
ORDA
James he’s a man of God, we’re stopping.
Sarah’s definitely a church girl but thankfully not an annoying church girl.
James go to Delaware so we can get this guy to vote
Bro don’t fall off your horse please
Get this man some oxygen
It’s only July 2nd
Johns got this 4th of July shit figured out

Dorlily
Damn pickles, making me work up a sweat by answering all of them.
1.) What’s their love language?
Quality time for sure. It’s hard for them to spend much time together as they’re in different houses so they take advantage of every opportunity to be together.
2.) Do they have a dynamic trope?
Academic rivals, bickering married couple, “I’d die for you” x “I’ll kill for you”
3.) Who cooks? Who cleans up? Who’s banned from the kitchen?
They take turns cooking and they always clean up together. Unless one of them is stressed or tired, then the other sends them up to bed.
4.) What’s their favorite sleeping/cuddling positions?
Lily as the big spoon and Dorcas as the little spoon. Lily also likes to lay on Dorcas’ chest.
5.) Who does what chores?

10.) Who drives and who picks out the music?
Dorcas drives and they fight over the music (lily usually wins).
11.) What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?
Bad Idea by Girl in Red is a very dorlily coded song imo. They always do a dramatic rendition of ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Dolly Parton on Karaoke night so it’s kinda become the song all their friends associate them with.
12.) Who gets up the earliest? Who has the worst sleep schedule? Who is the sleepiest?
Somehow Lily, for all of these. She goes to bed at 5am and then wakes up at 8am ready to take on the day. But then she always takes a nap around 4pm.
13.) What’s their opinions on PDA?
They try to keep their relationship a secret so they’re not very fond of it. But they will sneak a quick ass grab in the hallways.
14.) Who does fashion shows after a mall trip and who watches and compliments them?
Lily does the fashion show and Dorcas watches. She makes sure to applaud every-time Lily twirls in her new skirt.
15.) Do they go on vacations together? Where is their favorite place to visit?
Not really, they usually just go to the beach.
16.) What’s their favorite “domestic bliss” moment? Do they cook/clean together? Do they like to go out shopping together?
They co-parent plants together and wash the dishes together. They’re not allowed to go shopping together because they encourage each other buy everything they look at.
17.) What does a relaxing night in look like for them?
Watching a movie and napping on the couch
18.) What does a date night out look like for them?
They go the drive in and make out in the backseat <3 (can you tell they’re a movie couple?)

Dorcas runs bathes for Lily when she’s stressed. Lily gives Dorcas massages after quidditch games.
20.) What clothes/accessories do they steal from each other?
They wear each other’s ties a lot because they like feeling like the other belongs to them. They’re also the same shoe size so they accidentally put on each other’s shoes and it’s how people end up figuring out they’re together.
21.) Which of their friends/family pokes fun at them for them getting flustered/affectionate?
Sirius and Marlene mock them all the time.
22.) How do they apologize after arguments?
They’ll make the other’s favorite food as a peace offering.

No. Absolutely not.

28.) What’s something that reminds them of their partner? Do they have anything on them daily as a reminder (a photo, phone background, tattoo, clothing/accessory, etc.)?
Dorcas gives Lily her quidditch jersey. Dorcas has a lily tattoo on her collarbone and Lily has a meadow on hers.
29.) What is something they can never agree on? How do they meet in the middle?
Constantly argue over small things. Lily has no idea how to flip off light switches.
30.) Free space! Say something about this ship that you want to say!
I love them so much, I need to inject them into my bloodstream. Also they’re better than dorlene and marylily. Sorry not sorry.

Roses and Daffodils - Epilogue
Summary: When Belle breaks the Enchantress’s spell before she ever returns to the village, Gaston’s plan to threaten to lock her father away in an asylum never comes to fruition. Instead, when Gaston discovers that Belle is engaged to a prince, he becomes determined to steal her away, vowing that he will someday make Belle his wife. After Gaston secures a position as the gamekeeper at the castle, he strikes up a false friendship with Adam - a relationship he tolerates only so that he can become closer to Belle. Over time, Gaston’s feelings change, and a friendship that began as a clever ruse transforms into something else entirely.
But happily ever after won’t come easily. And thanks to the Enchantress, things aren’t always what they seem.
Pairings: Gaston/Adam, Adam/Belle (poly-v end game)
Check it out for a Gaston redemption fic! Includes fun Gaston and Adam banter throughout. :)
Click below for an excerpt!
Startled by the sudden sound of the stem snapping in two, a black grouse flew up out of the covering of shrubbery and grasses. Gaston took the shot. The grouse fell back to the ground.
“Nice shot,” Adam said, sounding genuinely impressed.
Gaston grinned. “I know.”
“How long until you think I’ll be able to shoot like that?”
“Depends how often we come out here.” Gaston handed the blunderbuss over to Adam. “Here you go, your highness.”
“Do we really need two birds for dinner?”
“You’re not going to hit one. They’re fast. It takes practice.”
“Don’t you care about me wasting the lead balls on lousy shots?”
“Not really. I have plenty of them.”
“You must be employed by a very generous man.”
“He’s alright,” Gaston said with a wink and then he nodded in the direction of the fallen grouse. “Let’s go pick up that bird. Then, we’ll try to find one for you.”
The two of them had to walk for a while before another opportunity to shoot presented itself. Just as Gaston had predicted, Adam missed the shot, but it seemed that he had fun trying. They only had time for one more attempt before Gaston had to ready the bird for dinner. Adam was quicker to pull the trigger that time, but he still didn’t manage to kill the grouse.
“Aren’t you going to throw me some sort of compliment that’s also an insult?” Adam jested. “I kind of miss those.”
Gaston snickered. “You would.” He rubbed his chin. “Nice job, your highness. You’re not staggering backward as much when you shoot. Maybe you’re finally building some real muscle underneath that ill-fitting shirt.”
“Ahh.” Adam let out a mock lovesick sigh. “Like music to my ears.”
Gaston snatched the blunderbuss back from Adam and then he dropped the dead bird before hooking his arm around Adam’s waist and yanking him close.
“There’s something wrong with you,” Gaston said.

idk if you're also english (sorry) or if you're scottish (nice), but i dont think most english people are physically capable of coming across as sincere [with compliments], honestly... give me a ridiculous full-hearted nicety from an obnoxiously kind american any day, at least i know they actually believe that what they're saying matters. eng is such a mocking and emotionally constipated country, it feels like an affectation when english people attempt to be sincere. it's so strange! it's like the actual way of speaking is inherently condescending
ah wow i’m so sorry, i only just saw this! anyway yes i’m english and i think you’re kind of right honestly. like yeah, this is an incredibly emotionally constipated country for sure, and i do think that factors into how i feel about the whole thing.
having said that, the way this person gives compliments does remind me of how americans do it, and those also set my teeth on edge before i consciously remind myself that no, they’re not being condescending, that’s just genuinely how they express affection haha! so there’s a fair chance it’s a problem with me, but also yeah, the fact that sincere compliments à la american behaviour are so uncommon here is very likely part of it

A Review on ✨ Swixxz ✨
As part of the ‘owns more Swixxz than I know what to do with it’ club, I feel like it would be pretty useful to write about my own personal experiences with Swixxz clothing, zumiez.com and ordering Swixxz outside of the United States.
Under the cut, you’ll find my thoughts, experiences and honest reviews on each style of clothing that I own, (e.g: hoodies, which ones I personally have, size).
Disclaimer: I am by no means boasting about the collection that I have. I am writing this as a guide for other fans so they know what expect when buying Swixxz items. Please do not take this as me flaunting my collection.
Baby Tees
I have: Monster Baby Tee, Skull Baby Tee, Spider Baby Tee, Love or Lust Cinch Top, Patchwork Mock Neck Top
Some of these aren’t baby tees per-say, but they all have the same fit, so they’re grouped together! Honestly, I wear these a lot. They’re simple, but the designs stand out, which means that I get compliments on them whenever I wear them! I’ve found that the sizing on these is a bit small, so when Swixxz say ‘slim, cropped fit’ they really mean it! I’m usually a size small in Australia, but with the Swixxz baby tees, I feel that buying the next size up is definitely the way to go. All of mine are mediums, and they still fit pretty tight, but the fabric is stretchy, so it's not suffocating!
Tees/Tops
I have: Beautiful End Short Sleeve Tee, Wish I Was Human Short Sleeve Tee, In My Head Stripped Long Sleeve Tee, Maggie Lindemann (Suckerpunch) Logo Short Sleeve Tee
The Wish I Was Human short sleeve tee was the very first thing I bought from Swixxz back when it was first announced!! It’s honestly my favourite out of the three tees that I own simply because it has a more direct link to Maggie’s music than her other designs do. I weirdly received three Beautiful End short sleeve tees when I ordered one from Zumiez; and have since sold one, I wear one as a sleeping top, and the third is just in my collection. I’m also counting the Maggie Lindemann Logo tee that I got with my Suckerpunch box set collection because, well, it's kind of related. It just says ‘Maggie Lindemann’ in that pink + green writing on the front in print, and my goal is to get someone to recognise the name when I wear it out! The In My Head stripped long sleeve tee is the perfect layering top underneath oversized shirts, in my honest opinion! The Wish I Was Human short sleeve tee was bought in size medium, and I really wish I bought it in large or extra large. Beautiful End was weirdly bought in a small as an impulse buy, and again, I wish I got it in a bigger size. The In My Head long sleeve tee was bought in medium, and I believe it's a good size! The Maggie Lindemann Logo tee was bought in a medium, and fits just like the Wish I Was Human tee.
Skirts
I have: Anime Plaid Skirt
The only Swixxz skirt I currently own is the Anime Plaid Skirt, which to me, is such a simple but cute design! The belt is detachable!! Which means you can take it off and wear it with whatever else you want!! The only downside that I have with this skirt is that it's slightly too small on me- I bought a medium- but the next size up would be too big.
I have: Trouble Flared Sweatpants
Trackies
The Trouble Flared Sweatpants have the coolest pattern design in my opinion. Every time I’ve worn these pants, people compliment the pattern! They’re super comfortable, even though- again- I wish I could’ve bought these in the next size up. I got a medium, and they fit perfectly fine, but I like a bit of a baggier look for my trackies, so a large would’ve been awesome. They wash really well, and they’re still super cozy after a few washes in the machine.
Sweaters
I have: Spider Black Distressed Sweater, Flash Sheet Crewneck Sweater
Every. Time. I’ve worn the Flash Sheet crewneck sweater, people compliment it! Some think it looks like Dennis The Menace’s sweatshirt- which yeah, it does- and they think it's pretty cool! The material is a thick knit, but I’ve worn it on summer nights and it doesn’t feel too heavy. I only just got the Spider Black Distressed Sweater in the post a few days ago, and it’ll be perfect for the upcoming winter this year! It appears to be double layered (black knit on top of red so the holes have a bit of red peeking through) which is a pretty cool design too.
Hoodies
I have: Paranoia Live From The Roxy Hoodie, Tear Drop Cropped Hoodie
My dearest Paranoia Live From The Roxy hoodie, how I love you so... I wore that thing every day since I got it in the mail after the Paranoia Livestream concert. It’s been everywhere. And sadly, the print on the hoodie really shows how much I wear it. It’s starting to peel off, a lot of the smaller print is just orange flakes now, which sucks, but I guess thats what I get for wearing it to death. The Tear Drop cropped hoodie was part of the first order of Swixxz that I ever got, and while I regret buying it in large (a medium would’ve been great) its honestly the best quality Swixxz item that I own. The print on the back hasn’t aged a day, and the Swixxz logo was stitched on the back. I really wish Swixxz would come out with a similar collection to this cropped hoodie again!!
Coats/Jackets
I have: All Over Print Sherpa Jacket, Backstage Zip Windbreaker
The Backstage windbreaker is my most worn Swixxz item in my closet. I really didn’t think I would wear it as much as I have- I bought a large and thought it was just a bit too big at first, but now it's perfect! It’s a great top layer in winter (it gets pretty cold in Australia) and it's been everywhere. I packed it in my suitcase when I went to Scotland last year, and I wore that damn windbreaker every day. It's the perfect jacket to keep you warm over the top of a hoodie! My only issue with it is: it's definitely not rain-proof. The one I own is now permanently water stained at the shoulders, but thankfully you really can’t see it unless I point it out. I recently got the All Over Sherpa Jacket in the mail and haven’t worn it yet because it's still the middle of summer in Australia, but my god it's so FLUFFY! Definitely a good addition to my winter wardrobe!
My Experience with Zumiez.com
When I first started buying Swixxz, swixxz.com’s international shipping fees were more expensive than Zumiez was, so I bought a lot of my first Swixxz stuff from there! Their postage prices have definitely gone up since Swixxz first started, and I’ve moved to buying from swixxz.com instead because of it. They don’t ship to post office boxes, so whenever I do order from there, I stress myself out because I’ve had a few shipping issues with them.
My first issue was when I bought the Beautiful End tee, and the tracking for the parcel never worked, so I contacted customer service thinking that the parcel got lost. They sent out two more tops before all three arrived on the same day, so that’s how I got three tops for the price of one (I feel so bad for that).
My second issue is buying Swixxz items on sale. I’ve learnt that when you buy Swixxz stuff on sale at Zumiez, you should definitely expect some kind of fault with the product. I’ve bought two items on sale, first one being the In My Head Long Sleeve Tee and Love or Lust Cinched Top. Although it's small, the In My Head tee arrived with a small yellow mark on top of one of the patches, and I’ve had no luck getting the mark out. It's not all that noticeable, because the mark is small and the patch covers it (sort of), but it really bugs me anyway. The Love or Lust top came with a bigger fault that really irks me. The main graphic is two different colours for a 3-D effect, and has clearly been printed twice. One colour is perfectly centred, while the other is off, and it's not on purpose. I still wear the top regardless, but that small detail that people don’t notice stops me from wearing it more often.
However! I do have major pluses when it comes to buying from Zumiez.com! Their shipping is fast. Like, I’m amazed at how quick I get things, considering they ship from somewhere in the middle of America all the way to my tiny ass city in Australia. Usually that takes weeks- from swixxz.com it takes up to a month- but for Zumiez, I only really have to wait up to two weeks. I ordered the Spider Black Distressed Sweater on the 6th of January, and received it yesterday (the 16th). Only counting business days, that took a week to arrive on my doorstep! Another plus: their customer service. I mentioned getting three of the same top, and because I contacted customer service, they shipped out the other two free of charge. Their customer service team are friendly and really responsive, so!! Major bonus!!
My Experience with Swixxz.com
The true downside that I have with swixxz.com is that it seems that their stock is smaller than Zumiez, and for the official website, that seems really strange to me. Sizes can go pretty quickly if the item is popular, so if you want to buy from Swixxz directly: be quick! Other than that, their international shipping is pretty expensive, but that’s just standard for American websites regardless of where you buy from. I wish they’d have more pictures of people wearing the Swixxz items- like what Zumiez do- or maybe just Maggie wearing those items so people can see how she’d style them. Other than that, after the website upgrade, swixxz.com has become easier to navigate! And it looks better now too!!
Overall 💞
Honestly, I love Swixxz. If I didn't, I wouldn't have bought all of that! I buy things a few times throughout the year- mostly for Christmas and my birthday- because its so expensive to ship all the way to Australia. But, in my opinion? Its worth it! The items are great quality, easy to style as statement pieces in outfits, and most importantly: comfy!! I love the direction that Maggie is going with the company, and while I wish they would branch out a little more on the accessories side of things, the collection that they have going is impressive!

Something I'm not proud of: How pleased it makes me when comedians I like flatter their audience by saying we must be smart if we're listening to them.
I recently watched Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Experience, and I thought they sometimes went unnecessarily far into pretentious territory, not with any of the comedy itself, but with the way they talked about its place in the world. There was much talk about how this stuff wouldn't go over well at a normal Friday or Saturday night at a comedy club, in a way that's sort of ostensibly self-deprecating, but actually they're pretty much saying "my comedy is too smart for most audiences". I listen to it and think, oh come on, this is very good but it would be funny to almost anyone. But then I think of all the time I spent in comedy clubs pre-pandemic (which is a fair amount of time, since my brother does stand-up and I used to go see him a lot, his act is... decidedly not the sort of thing that would be on a Stewart Lee show), and I realized that actually, it would be pretty outside the norm if Josie Long got up at my local comedy club and did ten minutes on socialism between sets. So maybe it is fair that the comedians on that TV show cast themselves as not very palpable to a mainstream comedy club crowd.
Anyway, when they did that thing on Lee’s TV show in which they sort of made fun of themselves for being niche but were really sort of backhandedly bragging about being smart, they were also sort of making fun of their audience for being nerds but really sort of backhandedly calling us smart. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy that a bit. Any part of me that enjoyed that even a bit is genuinely among my least favourite parts of myself, an indulgence in smugness that’s a true guilty pleasure and really it’s not a large part of me, and in my defense, I got a lot of shit for nerdery in school and therefore have the right to enjoy this now. That defense would make me feel better if it weren't also the defense of every nerd-identified insufferable asshole I've ever met.
What made me think of this is that I just heard Nish Kumar call me a criminal. Specifically, he called his fans "a pack of criminals", by saying he knows that being outside Britain will not stop anyone from finding his stuff that's only officially available in Britain, because the sort of person who's into his comedy is also the sort of person who’s good at illicitly finding media. I've heard him say things like that a number of times before, and every time, I do feel a bit pleased with myself. Like, yeah, Nish, you're right, you know me. Stewart Lee also has a bit on a DVD show about how it's less lucrative to be a smart comedian like him because his audience is full of people who are smart enough to pirate media, and Michael McIntyre doesn't have this problem. Which... yes, okay, I know, you're a comedian during the 2010s, you all fucking hate Michael McIntyre. No one has ever fully explained to me why he’s the worst thing in the world, but I’m not interested enough in the sort of thing he does to listen to any of his stuff and find out. But yes, Stewart Lee, you are probably smarter than Michael McIntyre.
Streaming and downloading media is a common practice that doesn't require any special level of intelligence, and that means it’s very silly that comedians flattering their audiences by complimenting our skills in that area does work on me a bit. I think I just like being part of the team - Team Pack of Criminals for Nish Kumar.
If I ever feel too pleased with myself for being into highbrow intelligent comedy, I can always remember the guilty pleasures I have besides the occasional indulgence in smugness, which is that sometimes I like to get drunk and watch Roast Battle UK and outtakes from Frankie Boyle-era Mock the Week (the outtakes being where they leave out that show’s occasional forays into intellectual merit, and just show Frankie finding contexts for the word “cunt” that make it even more offensive than it is on its own) and lately, old clips of late-night Edinburgh shows in which comedians do things like rap battle at each other (I make no apologies for how pleased I was to first find that bit of comedy history and I posted about it a lot at the time, the bit that makes it a guilty pleasure is how much fun I find re-watching that stuff while drunk). Oh, and Amstell-era Never Mind the Buzzcocks - it's been a while since I've gone back to that but that was a big one for a while in terms of bad shows I like to re-watch while drunk. I think I might just like watching people be assholes to each other, which makes me absolutely no better than people who are into reality TV shows. Sorry to let you down, Stewart Lee. Though to be fair, Stewart, you were on one episode of Amstell-era Buzzcocks, so you’re not that above it all either.

can I just say, I'm so glad your blog is still here? My religious beliefs are. complicated. but hellenic polytheism was a very important part of my own religious journey and still have a lot of love and respect for it. I'm going into religious studies as a major, and seeing the way people talk about helpol just makes me So Mad. like a lot of people just don't have any idea about how hellenic polytheism worked in the past or works today outside of the myths, and they just say. stupid shit! like saying that it doesn't make sense for Zeus to be a father figure bc he's Bad Myth Man even though one of his epithets is literally fucking. Zeus Pater. it just really annoys me that instead of respecting helpol as a legitimate faith, people just mock it! and they'll mock people for practicing different in the modern day as if religions don't naturally evolve and change to fit the needs of their practitioners. like yeah a lot of pagan circles do have issues with historical inaccuracies and bias and etc etc, but so do all religious circles.
this is kind of random and rambly but tl;dr ive followed you for a long time and I'm glad you are still here and being yourself and doing your faith. it's cool. you are cool
I agree with everything you said here! It is truly frustrating on many levels because 1) that’s my divine father they’re speaking about and I’m ready to throw hands in his defense 2) They read a mythology book and LO/PJ so now they think they know more than actual worshipers who have literally dedicated their lives to these gods through study and active worship…like either sit down and be educated or keep fucking walking.
It’s why I’ve implemented the rule for myself to block anyone who comes at me with the Zeus hate. Im cool with pple who pop in with genuine questions and a desire to actually learn. But I’m not wasting my time, energy, or peace on people who can’t show me or my Dad an ounce of respect.
I’m also not going to debate or argue with someone whose knowledge level is clearly nowhere near mine. They can live in their ignorance and miss out on being loved and protected by Big Poppa.
Oh and i really liked this line “as if religions don’t naturally evolve and change to fit their practitioners”
I feel like all that is very relevant to me, my devotion, and my blog because I get a lot of hate for choosing to wander outside of tradition with my worship. But exactly what you said, religion is constantly evolving. It was the same even in antiquity. Depending on where you were worship looked differently. So if the ancients were allowed to bring fluidity to their devotion why can’t I? And isn’t part of the reason the gods have stayed relevant for so long is because we allow them to evolve along with us? I do of course believe there’s a balance and you need to know the “rules” before you break them. But I don’t think “breaking” the rules is inherently hubristic. I think modernizing the gods is a devotion in itself because it keeps them close to humanity which will always be where they belong.
Okay let me end this Ted Talk so I can thank you for all your lovely compliments! It’s always a wonderful feeling to know your presence within your community is valued and appreciated! So thank you so much for that! I’m glad I can be a bit of light and hope! ❤️
