Swifties do love setting Taylor up.

Just what I saw on Twitter Yesterday:

1989 is a pop Bible that everybody knows. - Well if it's trash maybe.

Reputation is hip hop ??? - What?

Reputation is goth Rock ?? - Lol

That Reputation is also supposed to be R&nB - like where?? wtf?

And her new album the Treacherous Dead Poets Default is an album with a new sound.

Or this yt lady on tt that was claiming that no other artists has transcended genres as successfully as taylor did. 😭 And she mentions Rock? Girl where? And literally there are tons of artists who did it way better than her.

Or that one video which they have now deleted bc taylor was getting dragged. It was a video of her just walking on stage and singing (not live) and the caption was like: I can't believe she was doing that for the first time. ' - Some small part of me does feel sorry for these delusional fanbase. Cause she has the highest grossing tour right now. Big emphasis on right now cause that record is not forever. Anyways they can not post much about her performance anywhere without people using it to drag her. Cause let's face it. She can't perform. She's not serving. She's giving nothing. Her dancers slay more than she does.

Pffffft Taylor went from pop country to pop and never changed again. Slightly different vibes? Sure. Still pop. She wouldn't know rock if it smacked her in the head.

Missy Elliott is hip hop. Early P!nk (ie Most Girls) is R&B. Sumo Cyco is goth rock (+ others, but still). Taylor Swift wouldn't touch any of those genres with a 10ft pole, and quite frankly she'd suck at them if she tried lol.

She doesn't "transcend genres", and considering she can't even make different versions of pop sound good, I think we know why.

And no, she can't perform. Let me flex my expertise here: I'm a trained dancer. Specifically with 26 years of training in tap, jazz, ballet, theater, and contemporary, with additional training in commercial/street jazz (aka music video and tour choreography) and various other styles in sporadic classes. I've literally been choreographing since I was about seven years old, and have been analyzing commercial choreography since I was 15.

That said,

Her performances are not only weak, but they show me that her tour choreographer either

Doesn't exist and she created all of her own "dancing" herself

Doesn't know how to adapt choreography for someone with virtually no dance technique

Actively has something out for Taylor and is trying to make her look bad

I'm going to reference "Look What You Made Me Do" from the Eras tour, because that's the most recent and clearest to illustrate my point

A video of the performance in question, for reference.

Okay, first off, right off the bat, her hand floating on her hip looks awkward and uncomfortable. It's giving "over-excited 8yo at recital". For someone with as much experience as she has performing, I'd expect her to look more settled in her beginning pose. She looks like she's overthinking, and thus it looks under rehearsed.

Then we have that flexed hand - yes it's a nit pick, but that pose belongs very few places outside of a 6yo's tap dance.

Movibg on, her robotic movements look messy as fuck. Sharp isolations like that are HARD. A lot of dancers with years of training struggle with getting the kind of sharpness you would expect to see from that choreography. And on the scale of a stadium like she's in, everything is amplified. If it's messy, it's going to look five times as messy as it might on a smaller scale, because the further away the audience is, the more detail gets lost. So you're movements need to be SHARP in order to translate to the audience. Add to that that this is clearly filmed professionally/intentionally, and it really just looks unprofessional/poorly planned.

Meanwhile the things like the "don't like you" scolding (besides looking childish) are so small that you wouldn't see them beyond the front row. When you're choreographing even for a normal stage, the #1 rule is make everything BIG and intentional. If you're kicking, you're hitting AT LEAST a 45° angle, and with the force of trying to kick the winning soccer (football) goal. Taylor doesn't do that. Those movements are small, sad, and weak, and it honestly looks lazy. I know a 10yo currently doing a competitive dance solo to this song, and I shit you not that 10yo is 50x more interesting to watch perform than Taylor.

So yeah, her music has been one note since Fearless one note (uninspired pop), and her "stage presence" is about on par with an 8yo who doesn't want to be here.

Heeeyo! I saw that your askbox was open and was wondering if you could do the rise and bay verse turtles with a trans!guy s/o(not poly btw) that doesn't really show many emotion, like, has always a poker face besides laughing a bit from time to time and one day he forgets his journal at the lair and when the guys see it there's cute drawings of the guys and like, cute writing of the s/o saying how much they like the turtles and stuff like that?

I'd like if you wrote headcanons plz, have a nice day ^^

Sorry this took me so long to do, hope you like it! Also this is kinda long lol

Bay! and Rise! Turtles x Trans!guy reader (he/him and they/them pronouns used)

Turtles and the Notebook

It was a normal day at the lair. Crime had been at its lowest point all year and the boys could finally relax and just have a day to themselves.

But, why would they do that when they could invite their best friends (and crush) over.

April and Y/n were quickly called and they all had a blast together.

Well they think Y/n had a good time, he was a very quiet person and didn't show a lot of emotions.

When April and Y/n left that night and most of the lights had been turned off, that's when something caught his eye, a notebook.

He didn't recognize it, picking it up off the sofa and flipping through it.

But wait....this is clearly Y/n's hand writing....but it's about....him?

Bay!Leo:

Jaw. Dropped.

He laughs in disbelief, this notebook, is full of drawings and notes about him!

And they drew him well

Has he always had such nice legs?

Wait, no, he shouldn't be looking through this. It was an invasion to Y/n' privacy and should be returned.

But....how can he do it with a straight face now, you clearly wrote those things on purpose and apparently like him back

Does he return it and act like normal? No, he couldn't possibly do that

He wants to close the journal but he just can't, seeing how you drew his expressions and the sweet notes with little hearts made his knees feel week.

You never, ever showed this much emotion with anything, you were quiet and observant, like him, but you had such a kind a caring heart

He sighed, closing the book and making up his mind. He'd returnt the book, it's the right thing to do.

But there may or may not be a small note tucked into the pages asking you out on a date.

Rise!Leo:

Ego 📈📈📈📈📈📈

He's posing like how you drew him in the book feeling so confident and good

He loves your art and keeps flipping through all the pages, his smile getting wider and wider

Then he sees a simple one, he's relaxed in a bean bag with his feet up, reading a Jupiter Jim comic.

He looks so serene in the picture, it makes him stop for a moment. The detail in the picture is amazing, you clearly spent quite a bit of time studying him

Wait....why would you study him?

Cause he's awesome that's why, he laughs to himself, turning the page as his jaw drops.

It's a drawing of him laughing, he's not sure at what, but there's a caption at the bottom of the page.

'My Champion'

Your.....champion?!?!

His heart plummets to his stomach, before he can realize what he's doing he's out of the lair, journal in hand, rushing to your apartment.

Bay!Donnie:

Mistook it for one of his own notebooks, didn't realize it until after he had written down a.....very long.....and complex equation....that takes up a whole 2 pages...

He feels slightly guilty about writing in it, he would hate for someone to do something like that to him.

He'd quickly go to close it, in the process though, it flies from his hands and hits the floor, pages up.

It's now on two full pages of your drawings and it's takes him until he's picked it up and shoved his face in it to realize the drawings are of him.

His heart rate spikes and he feels himself start to sweat buckets

He quickly closes the notebook and returns it on your next visit, trying not to make it obvious that he knew what was inside.

He plans and plans and plans for weeks, taking data on how you act around him versus his brothers to see if you do have feelings for him.

When the results come back positive, he starts a new experiment.

'Confessing Feelings'

Rise!Donnie:

Goes right over his head

Okay, you left your journal, everybody does that, and he's quite the specimen so of course you chose to draw him

Your skills were very good, you got his expressions near perfect and the proportions were spot on

It was clear that all the time you spent in the lab with him was to study and draw him

In a strange way it made him feel a bit....special

You choose to draw him. To make him the center of every page. To draw little hearts next to him smiling -wait what

Why are there hearts next to him smiling? And when was he smiling like that?

This is clearly a mistake, you must've just been doodling.

He does the responsible thing and close the journal and text you that it's still in the lair

Of course he doesn't mention that he went through it, he'd freak out if his brothers went through his things.

But he rolls around in his bed that night, unable to sleep, thinking about what you drew

Suddenly he jumps from his bed, he's got a new equation to solve

Bay!Raph:

Probably the only one who doesn't open the notebook right away.

He stares at it for a few hours, unsure of what to do. He tries doing others things as a distraction, but his eyes keep going back to it.

Bay!Mikey:

But his curiosity gets the best of him and he looks.

And his jaw dropped to the floor seeing that you had drawn him. And drawn him.....quite handsome

You really made his muscles big, damn, are his arms that nice?

He puts it back where you left it and acts like he doesn't know what it is.

He'll be way more flirty and tease you way more to try and get you to admit your feelings.

He loves seeming you get flustered.

Rise!Raph:

Turns redder than his mask.

He's so flustered and embarrassed and probably almost ruins it when he tries to close it and put it back down.

He's so awkward for a few weeks after he returns it, he has no idea how to act around you after seeing little sketches of him smiling and laughing.

I mean, you drew hearts next to him smiling, that's gotta mean something right?

He's too nervous to make any first moves, you'll have to be the one to do that.

But when you do, he's over the moon and will happily reciprocate.

Purposefully opens and looks in it.

Rise!Mikey:

He's got no shame when he found it, he flips through every page and goes through it at least three times over.

He takes pictures of his favorites and puts them in a separate folder to look at when he's sad.

His heart skips a beat and he immediately seeks you out to tell you.

He doesn't beat around the bush, he's got actual proof that you like him back and he isn't going to waste this moment.

Unfazed at first

You'd both been each other's models hundred of times, it was no surprise to see himself in your notebook

But...he doesn't remember posing this way....

Wait, that was when you two were hanging out in the kicthen, he was trying a new recipe and you were at the dining table.

You caught him at a side angle, eyes big and bright with a large smile. He looked cute!

And what's this? A little heart next to it. Aw that's sweet. Wait, there's a small blurb next to the heart

'Making cookies, they're almost as sweet as he is'

*gasp*

He seeks you out and gently asks why you drew him (and apologizes for peeking at your notebook)

His heart skips a beat at your answer.

Welcome To the Playground (Arcane Rewatch Sunday)

| Episode 1 |

This post involves spoilers to the episode and is entirely my commentary on watching it!!

To start this rewatch off we meet the first episode. The one that sets the stage of what's to come, and damn IS this an episode. I lied abit about watching this for the second time because I have seen this episode one twice. More so one scene being prominate but I didn't give enough of my attention to the opening scene.

Here we see the sisters. (A lot of these screenshots I took are of them being together because they actually make me want to SOB and throw myself onto the floor in shambles.)

Powder's song is almost haunting in a way, as we see moments later of Vander and the total fucking destruction (which I didn't remember this scene all that great so holy shit this was such an interesting way to set the stage and tone of things.)

Another photo of the sisters because like above. They make me want to sob. VI LOOKS SO BROKEN TOO. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE HER A HUG FFS.

I really really appreciate the color. The way everything is shaded and just too, the way things are-- Vander. I'm guessing this is how they met and he took them in?? I'd assume. Might have missed some kind of subtext but it definitely is an emotional look combined with the utter emotion behind both of them. Too with Powder's singing.

AND HERE WE ARE! This scene I have the most familiarity with. I really do like how everything is colored as well. Mylo and Claggor alongside them <- I did not memorize their names before EITHER WHICH IS WRONG. They do seem like cool characters, but LOOK AT THIS SHOT. Topside really be having EVERYTHING.

I was going to entre a joke here about Powder almost falling off the building and Vi grabbing her arm and show a picture of Catadora from princess prom to say something but I forgot the punchline and I didn't take it. Not the same energy either, but my brain was trying to think up a silly joke.

I had to take a screenshot of the Kiramman place-thingy. It's so funny- I missed that detail last time. Imagine robbing the girl's families' place that's going to be your love interest. CANT RELATE LOL. But hey!! I thought it was really funny Mylo commenting about them locking their balcony alongside Vi just kicking the fucking door open. SUCH A SLAY move. We love, we stan!!!!

(Also to note, its such a cool frame to just pause and look at in finer detail. It's got so much stuff to look at. I know I didn't take more shots of Powder with the orb ball thing, but I really thought everything in the place was super unique and even through them robbing the place it was fascinating the part where Powder finds the sandwich and just ate ONE BITE of it and going oooo what's this thing. I CAN'T. Girl eat more of the sandwich, you're leaving too much behind!!!! AT LEAST TAKE IT WITH YOU.)

"That's a nose hair trimmer." <- I love you Powder.

I would say never change but uh... UH... ANYWAY.

The orb fucking EXPLODED. CRAZY.

Guess your clear Powder. Don't think they're gonna find that sandwich now. But I don't think that's.... leaving no traces.

I mean you left that building without a trace, sure... but like... where's the building???

(btw yeah I was watching with captions on. It helps with my comprehension of what I'm watching. I'm not gonna ramble about it NOW but damn people should not hate so hard on people who watch stuff with captions on.)

Mylo commenting about his new shirt and getting cut off by Vi kicking him down was so goofy. If you KNOW. But too-- This color pallet. I know I keep saying that but even the topside shitty parts are pretty. TOPSIDE REALLY BE HAVIN EVERYTHING.

UGH GOD I HATE THIS PART BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING SO GOOD. Mylo is such a stupid idiot. More of the sisters because I can't. I actually can't. Someone's gonna skin me if I say that when I first saw Powder I thought of 2-D from Gorillaz. It's the blue hair okay. I DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO THEM. Derailing this episode mb.

All this violence and then its Powder. I got so frustrated when they started chasing her with the stuff too. Was truly rooting for her. Every time I see the scene too I always wish she succeed.

SHE LOOKS SO FUCKING BADASS. LOVE HER. Love the buzzed fade thing so MUCH. The hair. It's everything. SHE is everything.

I always want her to win. I always do. She deserved so much better than how they treated her. Her inventions, she truly was so misunderstood. Never given a chance and written off. I really liked the writing but like holy fuck it was so infuriating because you just want the best for her with all that's happening. You want her to win...

He said it. He said the thing.

He should fuck off and die but HE SAID THE THING.

I cut out most of the part where we saw The Last Drop and Vander talking to those people about negotiating things. Dunno what to comment about that whole segment but Vander coming to chew out Vi once they all came back. I think the whole part where he coaches her about being a leader was a good message. About how she needs to be less reckless and more strategic because people look up to her- Especially Powder. And then not only that, but their health is also in her hands if she is being reckless.

Vander asking if she put that guy on his ass after chewing her out is such an Eda moment but also such a good parent moment. I love when we have that be a trope(?) with fictional parents. Chew the shit out of your kid and then be like "but you still kicked their ass, right?" Slay shit right there.

Ekko. I NOTICED THE FUCKING DETAIL ABOUT "LITTLE MAN."

HE GAVE THEM THE INFO. I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT LAST TIME OMFG. It's all coming together. The air fighting 💀.

More of the sisters because they deserve better. Vi being supportive of Powders inventions. It all makes me emotionally unstable /pos.

MORE OF THE SISTERS. PLEASE I NEED YOU TO KNOW I LOVE THEM. This moment. I can't. I can't. I can't.

The orb.

I am giving you screenshots of the sisters and I am not sorry.

Then there's this. The way the scene ended. I'm not sure how else to comment on it all but I really wanted to insert this photo because its such a nice shot of the lanes and then them in scale of it all. Kinda symbolic to an extent. (I hope I got that right? Undercity verses The Lanes was confusing me on the difference.)

I'm so mad about that cat.

But Silco.

We see him.

We still hate him though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway ahhh THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD. Sorry if I seemed dry at all in any of my parts. It's like- I dunno what else to say at times but I really really enjoyed it. I think seeing this show again is going to really inspire me in more ways than just "ooo show" but it's just SUCH a neat looking world. World building is such an important aspect of stories to me, it needs to have a good and interesting world for me to feel a good hard urge to invest into the content.

One of the reasons why I fell in love with TOH so hard was BECAUSE of its world. (among other things *cough cough* wlw)

The world is such a important piece in storytelling. Characters too, and sometimes they matter more because they can fall flat if they aren't written good. But everything that goes into the world is such an engaging thing.

With this episode it didn't feel like- Boring or anything at all. (I have a short attention span at times and sometimes my mind will just be like "ughhhh") WHICH IS AWESOME. These episodes are literally 45 minutes so like wtf. If a show can do that shit- Damn dude they're cooking SO hard.

I'm not even a LoL fan or like knowing of that lore, and I'm sure knowing of that stuff would make things even more interesting with lore (am a SUCKER for lore too) but even as it stands it's such an Indepth show. (I mean that as in it's not kid-ish. THERES MEAT TO IT.)

I'm so ready for episode two!!!

UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY!!

TIME AND PLACE (And, yes, the joke is a bit misogynistic but we're talking about boomers here lol.)

I saw this cartoon the other day and chuckled. This was my mom and grandmother's favorite joke actually! Mom told my grandmother, "why is being a hooker better than being a drug dealer? Because you can wash your crack and use it again!" The two women cackled away.

But they wouldn't have told this joke in church or in front of strangers. It's okay to have a dirty mind and free speech but you must use respect when exercising both.

I am by no means trying to promote the criminal element but as I've said, I date them. And I also meet a lot of non-criminal varieties who sleep with a lot of women, which aren't really my type. So why is it that most of these men are way more respectful to me than the good old country boys who work hard and live respectable lives??

I feel it is a matter of socialization. I am an uneducated rural woman but I have self-awareness and empathy. These things don't get taught when you grow up on a farm and are only exposed to your family and a handful of locals.

As a result, nearly every time I talk to a rural blue collar man, I hear the worst ignorance. I am not talking about them directly cussing me out or insulting me but they think it's okay to comment on big tits or make sexual jokes to women they barely know. And I know it's because they grew up sheltered and still are.

I dated one in 2021 and he said he went to a party, a woman farted, and he started yelling to everyone, "THIS BITCH FARTED." I said, why did you repeatedly call her a bitch? He was from the Rockies, WV. He said he thought bitch was just another name for woman. He actually listened to me and realized it wasn't respectful and corrected himself.

Earlier this year I met a man from a tiny rural Virginia town bordering WV. Very rough around the edges, uneducated, bad teeth. He was polite and kind but then a few days in he randomly told me he had a big penis. Okay? See, I'm not a prude, but I don't want any man I don't know coming at me talking about sex or his genitals. And he wasn't trying to be disrespectful, he was just plain ignorant. I saw his father's profile on Facebook and it was a bunch of right wing posts and pictures of busty women with captions like, "look at her floatation devices, she won't drown!"

I let it slide and he didn't say anything else sexual until the next day when he said, "your tripod is home from work ha ha." I blocked him. I don't care if he had a big dick, that's not how you respectfully address a woman you are trying to get to know. And he didn't know any better, that's just how his father had raised him.

As for the felons and manwhores? My theory is that they have been around enough people to learn social skills, even if it wasn't always good people. For instance prison is the worst place in the world but it seems some of these men come out of it knowing how they DON'T want to be treated and they apply that to how they treat others. Meanwhile if they had just stayed home on the farm all their lives with mom and pop and the farmhands they would still think it was acceptable to talk about bitches and tits in front of everyone. And the promiscious men? They've learned what women like because you don't get in a woman's pants by calling her a bitch and randomly leering at her breasts in public.

That's just my theory. Isolation is never good. I'm an introvert myself but in life you really have to get out, be around people, and be in social situations so you know how to act right. Because being around a small handful of people with no social skills is just going to turn you into one of them

I'd rather deal with a guy with no father who has lived on the streets and experienced life rather than a guy with a father who has been exposed to nothing but stacking hay and being taught lewd comments towards women.

Funny side note. I saw people talking about Rozupan so I wanted to bring up something stupid about one of her posts. It's the stupid rock band AU where she, yet again, has Nico doing something that has nothing to do with the actual mha series nor does it flesh out her character as well as, yet AGAIN, seeing Hawks doing nothing else except simping for Nico because he's the love interest. I find this one funny especially because on the post, she mentioned in the caption that Nico's "an amazing singer yet rarely shows it in her canon story" to which I say

1) Girl, what story lol. We know nothing about her and probably never will. Which is a shame because I'd at least like to know why someone like Hawks ever took interest in a bland ass piece of eye candy like Nico. Maybe Hawks is shallow in Rozupan's canon lol.

And 2) What reason would Nico have to show off her musical or I guess vocal prowess in the canon story? This is MHA not High School Musical tf? She's wasted all this time working on stupid AUs like this one yet it's been about a year and some change since I followed her and I know NOTHING about Nico.

The ONE AU that actually seemed interesting to me was the Villain Nico AU but as you might guess that AU seems to be only available on her damn Patreon. Hiding the cooler AU behind a pay wall huh? Okay. But look at the bright side! We can expect MORE art of Nico's daughter, another uninteresting AU. How is it an AU when I thought her daughter would be canon to her story? Because she hooks up with Hawks? That's like, what Rozupan is trying to do right? But whatever, sucks that I still don't know anything about Nico. Guess I'll never know. What a shame. But hey that "Unfollow" button seems reeeaaally tempting now. 🤔

Yeah, again I think she is trying to emphasize way too much on appearance than writing stories. Such a shame Nikeru is like a "look at me I am pretty latina doll who has no story to tell that hawks randomly simps for me".

Hello! I recently found your blog, so I don know a whole lot about you. I’m sorry if you’ve already explain this, or if it’s a sensitive subject. You can totally ignore this if it is, don’t worry!

Are you deaf? I mean, yeah, you’ve said you are. But, like, how deaf? And how does it work? Because you also listen to music, as far as I understand, so you must hear something, no?

I’m really sorry if this annoys you or offends you! I’m really just curious, if it bothers you, just ignore it, okay?

OMG HELLO NO ONE HAS ASKED ME THIS BEFORE IN MY OVER A YEAR OF HAVING THIS BLOG LMFAO I AM VERY EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT IT!! Yes I am Deaf >:) I love talking about this stuff (I'm also majoring in it LMFAO)

Me personally - I allegedly was born partially deaf in my left ear (like 50% I'd say). We don't really know why. Could be because my dad is also deaf. We didn't really realize until a couple of years ago when I went to an audiologist for another reason and they were like you know ur also like really deaf in this ear and I was like oh I thought it was just because of my headaches - and the symptoms were things I remember even from my childhood. Anyway and then I actively starting loosing my hearing started when I was 10 because I developed a weird, magical random thing where my ears don't pop, so I got a lot of bruises and trauma to my ear drums that I had to take hella antibiotics for as a kid (big plastic blue and purple pills). This would not have been as bad if my parents weren't travel nerds and didn't force me to go on at least 6 airplane flights a year until I was like 16 /srs. As well as that, we just recently discovered that I have reverse slope hearing loss (meaning I can't hear deep voices/I can't hear you if you're facing away from me/I can't hear you talking if there's background noise) (recently discovered as in it's been on my MyChart for like a year and we never noticed it [we do this a lot. it's embarrassing]).

This is semi related but my first language was ASL and that's not even really related to the fact that I was born Deaf - it was mostly because i literally didn't talk and my parents were getting nervous. Now I'm going to school to be an ASL teacher so it all works out! And also now that I'm an adult, when I talk to Deaf people from other states, they say I have a violently strong Californian (bay area) accent - isn't that funny? I started going deaf the year I moved to California. I wonder how I would be signing if I stayed in Vegas.

I think what you're asking me is if I'm stone deaf ([Deaf people with 0% hearing] sorry if I'm mansplaining) - which is actually a very very small percentage of deaf people - 1/2%? don't quote me on that but that's what we learned in high school, might be dated. Deaf people can still hear small, fuzzy things, and some Deaf people even have enough hearing to be able to talk on the phone normally (jealousy).

This is all off the top of my head -> My good ear is around 56 to 59 dB I think that's also minus the fact that I can't hear low frequencies? Which isn't bad - it's moderate severe hearing loss, which isn't as dramatic as it sounds. idk, last time i saw an audiologist was last year yawn.

(did you know 1 in 20 Americans are medically deaf or hoh? I didn't - I found that out trying to google the percentage of stone deaf people LOL! This is actually quite funny because out of the people in my ASL language class alone, 3 of us are Deaf).

What's my daily life like? I can function in a normal conversation with people that I've been talking to since before my hearing went to shit (because I recognize their talking patterns / the noises they make and what it means). But if a stranger with a mask walked up to me trying to talk to me I would definitely be completely confused on what they are saying!! and also the mask doesn't help!! I also need closed captions on things. And unlike 90% of deaf people, yes, it kinda does help me if you over-annunciate your words.

also yes, I listen to music :) I frequent local punk and metal shows and I sit right there next to the speaker and feel the drums. I just can't listen to black metal because oftentimes I find it too low for my silly ears to pick up on and it gives me headaches. Death metal is sometimes too low for me - the guitars are never, though. I don't like listening to any other genre because it all just sounds bland to me. I like fast drums. I do like mitski, however, but that's beyond me.

Any other questions? :)

(if anyone has read this far and you're also trying to learn ASL - join my discord! link is in the pinned post. We have a channel specifically for me sharing cool ASL youtube videos and sources that I find

EDIT: I found this - 10% of deaf people are classified as profoundly deaf (90-120 dB, which, I can tell you right now that the Deaf people I know who are in their 90s can still hear small, 'fuzzy' things)

idk ur still doing the confessions thing but anyway. it's not really wild or anything, i just needed to get it off my chest lol (you can ignore this if you want this gets pretty long and confusing i think so buckle up)

also shoutout to the 6th grade anon, i had a similar 6th grade exp. middle schoolers are the worst. i literally had little no friend AND was bullied lol.

anyway there was this one girl in my class that was like a sorta popular girl i was friends with. so during 6th grade, i had no friends except for her (i dont think she saw me as a friend tho or were even friends in the first place?? idk) and i would always crave her attention. i didn't know i had a crush on her i think.

(side note: i would rate the girls in my class based on how pretty and nice to me they are, (i think i put her on 2nd lol))

so then whenever she was absent for the day i would feel sad and all that shit. whenever she was around i always do anything to please her or make her think im cool or something (i was not cool, i was a loser). we would talk endlessly on messenger, talking abt random shit, how shitty her mom was, how shitty my mom was etc. one time during our first class for the day (which was about 5am i think) she was acting weird, i asked her about it, she said her stomach hurt. so me, being all lovesick and shit gave her my lunch ( i didn't have lunch money and only had sandwiches lol) when she thanked me for it, and said she felt better, i felt so proud. idk i just felt so happy then

fast forward to end of 6th grade, we were graduating. by that i mean transitioning from 6th grade to 7th grade. anyway. so we graduated, kept in touch, still messaged her on messenger, and then school got in the way and my phone got taken away cuz i failed sum classes in the 2nd quarter. never had it back since. so we didnt talk for about 4 years.

so back in 2020, my parents got me a laptop for school, and i made a new mess. acc. i reached out to her again. we talked, talked abt shitty moms, i found out she's bi and i told her im a lesbian. after a few days i asked her if she'd ever had a gf or bf or whatever (like the idiot i was) and said she didnt have to answer if she didnt want to obvi. she said yes she's had bf's before. i said, cool. then she asked me why i was asking i told her i was just curious.

then came out of nowhere, she said, "wanna try?" so then my brain shut off and i didnt reply for minutes then she just sent a "haha"

and she was like, "oh sorry was that weird? sorry😬"

but i said it was fine and shit. we didnt talk about it for about a day.

then we were talking again and i was like, "so this is gonna sound weird but do you ever like, like someone and would want a romantic relationship with them but wouldn't like, mind being their friend instead? like youre in the middle?"

and she said "yeah, i have" so then i was like "oh cool, cool"

then she asked, "why? have you?" and i said yes.

then she asked who. and my brain shut off again lmaoo so i was just like "you" the speech bubble appeared multiple times lmao then i followed up with like, "sorry! that was weird! please just forget about it!"

then she was like, "no no, it's fine. i feel the same way" (and i beliived it. how naive was i?)

so then i was like, "really?? cool cool cool" (im a really awkward person okay)

then after a few minutes of talking again (you know when you're like flirting as a joke but then it's not a joke anymore? lol) she was like, "so wanna be my gf?"

my brain shut off again. i didnt answer for a few minutes cuz my brain was dead. then she was like, "um was that too fast? that was too fast sorryy"

by the time i read that my hand was shaking lmaoo (from nervousness or shock i dont know) so i hastily replied with, "nah its fine. i would love too" after overthinking it and shit

does dating count when your just talking over text? what is dating????

anyway we flirt a lot, saying goodnight, i love you's and shit. she said i was her first gf, i said she was my first relationship and what not. i was genuinely happy. i had a person who understood me, and liked me, and i was happy. she even said she saved my bday on her phone

so then like about a week and a before my bday was when shits started to go down.

i messaged her, said a quick goodmorning cuz i had classes and how i wanted to kill myself and shit like that (dont worry, im not actively suicidal and she already knew this) she replied and i quote "Good morning, love. I love you."

then like after classes, i messaged her, asked how her day was, told her about my day etc. i waited about an hour. (she doesnt typically reply for about 10 - 15 minutes cuz duh she does have a more eventful life than mine) so i thought none of it. thought she was just busy. so it was nighttime and still no word from her. so i said good night and wished for her to be safe.

morning came, i checked my messages, still nothing, she didnt even see it yet. i went on with my day thinking nothing of it. told myself she might have some problems at home and all that. by the 3rd day, i was pretty anxious and i couldnt think properly. my brain conjuring up scenarios where her mom found out, and her phone got taken away. anything just to convince myself what the dreaded truth was.

it was the 5th day was when i gave up. i saw she changed her pfp, and captioned it like she would normally caption it. replied to the comments, that kind of shit. so then i was so mad by then so i commented too. ofc she didnt reply. i spent days worrying over her safety, when in reality she's just an asshole. and i really thought she really like me you know? i really thought she'd at least considered me as her friend, i guess not

my bday came, we had a party but i wasn't really feeling it ya know? by then i'd already spent the past week crying myself to sleep. no one noticed a thing.

a few months ago i saw she had a bf, and by that time i already felt like my old self again, no longer the broken pathetic shell she left. i was back to square one. so i cried again.

present day, i still see her posts, her ig stories, (i dont think she blocked me). and i cant bring myself to block her either. like idk on one hand i'm so mad that she just left me hanging, that her relationship with her new bf lasted longer than we were together and on the other i knew if she ever reached out again, i would latch on to every inch of her. (that's probably bad lol)

anyway have a nice day/afternoon/night!!!! i hope i havent troubled you too much lol sorry!

Damn that's a lot to take in, I'm sorry 😔

Janis & Jimmy

Fake dating begins!

Janis: Grace wants to buy you a coffee for being such a gent. Janis: If I was you I'd have a freebie black and charge it to her tab. Her and her cronies are in there enough, and it'll save you having to endure a frappe/her and said giggling gal pals. Jimmy: Me and her or a group hang with the BBs for the 'gram? Jimmy: 👍I did that last week and the one before Janis: Depends. She obvs wants alone time with you but she's never passed up a #goals photo-op in her life, so. Janis: Can't be freeing the nip on Insta but maybe she's got a private snapchat she wants to whore out, you'll be well in then 👍 Janis: Christ. Good to know not ALL her money goes on Brazilian blow-outs, she's also topping up the salary of every hot barista in town, what a philanthropist she is, amongst other less favourable titles. Jimmy: If you can be arsed to 3rd wheel this I'll shout you something from the secret menu Jimmy: Which exists swear down and isn't just a invite to my snapchat Jimmy: Why am I worried Brazilian blow outs is a way bigger euphemism any day Janis: Hmm. As much as I try to avoid spending ANY time with Grace, for obvious reasons as you well know, it could be pretty amusing to see her make such a twat out of herself. And it would piss her off if I gatecrashed...Fuck it, I'm in. Janis: Don't get any ideas about making some taboo twin content though, lad, that only happens in the minds of pervy porn execs, and in weird old lady novels from the 80s. Janis: Lol. Yeah, it ain't a Cavante special. Its to make her look MORE white, funnily enough. As if the coffee habits and UGGs weren't making her a literal meme for the cause already. Jimmy: I'd rather down a strawberry açaí refresher with coconut milk every time Grace makes a gaff, which funnily enough is what necking with your sister's tall mate tastes like, than get sandwiched between the two of you Jimmy: I'd shout her a flat white if she'd get the joke though. One for each of them Jimmy: 😩 Janis: OMG, girl code, Grace sooooo saw you first, Tammy is gonna be out on her flat white arse when Gracie finds out, like 💀 Janis: The feeling's mutual, dickhead. Wouldn't put it past my sister though, she's more obsessed with me than she'd EVER be with you. 🤢 At least she'll be moving on when you finally give in and give it to her, I've got a life fucking sentence, mate. ⚰ Jimmy: OMG Minnie (??? Isn't that her name maybe) launched herself at me first and I'd be out on my penniless arse if I'd let her crack on over the counter ⛔ Jimmy: I like my encounters with a little less ego it's no crime. Or slight on you, mate. Jimmy: I'll tell Gracie that if she ever lets me get a word in. Janis: Fuck knows. All look the same to me. Ironic if it is, though, fucking jolly green giantess. Janis: And soz but sexual assault ain't no crime either when you're them though, they're just being #girlbosses swear down garda 💋 Janis: Good luck with that one, kid. Even if she gives you the chance, she won't be listening. Fucks with the fairytale where you shut the fuck up and carry her bags 'cept to call her pretty once in a while for said ego's boost. 🙊🙉 Janis: oh, and look good in the 'gram, standard. Jimmy: Could be what the lads call her... whoops Jimmy: Damn. I'll have to spoil her fun by letting it be known I've got myself a girl already. 🎻 Shame it'll take me years to find one who can stand the interrogation 💔 Jimmy: Gotta get Cass to keep her ear low. Effort. Janis: The 'lad's' secret is safe with me, the 'girls' are hardly likely to listen and I'm even less likely to bother to tell 'em. She'd just think #pussygamestrong 'neway so I ain't giving the bint that unwarrant stroke when you've all already been there, done that. Sloppy. Janis: Woe is, lad. Like everyone ain't on your dick rn 'cos you got that shiny, new appeal. Just pick one that ain't TOTALLY unbearable- ah, I see your problem. Janis: Sadly, I can't help, I ain't the massive lezza you've no doubt heard from the lads and girls alike that I am. Janis: Slim pickings either way you swinging, you see. Jimmy: You can help me then. Go on. Think how mad it'd make Gracie if nuffin' else Jimmy: Counter distance between us at all times if you want Janis: Aside from pissing off my sister, which I'm more than capable of by me larry, what's in it for me? You get her off your dick and back into Costa to cry it out, like Jimmy: Freebies of any of Common Grounds finest where you can also hang without her and her hangers on Jimmy: Semi trained mutt if I can wrench it from my sisters grasping hands? Jimmy: Plus an end to the rumors if you're arsed about that. You said yourself I've got the newbie appeal Janis: Alright, alright, you had me at dog! Janis: I won't deprive your sister but I could do with an AM running partner who can keep up. I'll wear it out and have it back to you at the end of your morning shift, before she's even had her weetabix or found her school tie. Deal? Janis: I'm down for writing our own rumours, why the fuck not, eh Jimmy: Done. Her name's Twix and she's as annoying as the name makes her sound. Jimmy: Get ready for rumors about how many bodies she's buried for you after all the holes dug Janis: Cute. And I'm sure I've dealt with worse bitches, I'm up for the challenge. 💪 Janis: Its always the dog walkers init, suspicious cunts. Jimmy: Yeah, and if you wanna bury a few of 'em yourself I'll keep my lips sealed Jimmy: Tomorrow too soon? Janis: Good man, you will if you know what's good for you. Janis: Though, not too sealed, gotta set this dump's/my sister's world alight, like, and I don't think that's happening if we just hold hands. 😲 Janis: Nah, I'm ready. Only thing I got scheduled is double chem and that can always do with livening up. Janis: How you wanna do this, lover boy? Jimmy: Point taken. I better work on my angles too. For the 'gram. Jimmy: With minimal cliches if that can even be a thing round 'ere Jimmy: Probably wouldn't believe it without 100s would they Janis: You best, I don't know how to work facetime, you've got the wrong twin there. Janis: Well, I could oh-so casually ask Grace if her and the bitch squad are going for coffee on the way home from hell (as if they don't every fucking day) and she will be buzzin' thinking I wanna come 'cos she's always asking/attempting to drag me like she's on a mission from the coffee bean gods Janis: Then we can be there, together, oh-so casually again Janis: Aside from sucking face on the playground (which is a little first school, even for these hoes) its the best way to get max attention and thus the rumour mill will do the rest Jimmy: Make sure Tall Tammy's at the back. Can't have Grace missing it Jimmy: See if you can get one of them to spill coffee on you too. Everyone loves a heroic gesture and a clothes share 😏 Janis: 😂 Brilliant. Janis: Assuming Grace doesn't straight up throw it at me, I'll be sure to make that happen. Janis: I'll probably come chat to you at lunch tomorrow too. Can't have this springing out of nowhere, like, how implausible! 😏 You hang with Sean Bryne and that atm, yeah? Jimmy: Yeah we'll be in the smoking spot if not our usual corner Jimmy: I'll slide into the seat beside you the period after make it look like we got it really bad 💘 Janis: 👍 twos up on the ☠ 🚬 then, lad. what could be more romantic? Janis: good thinking, grace is in that class too and she's hopeless with maths so she won't be paying the slightest bit of attention to anything but the absolute scandal Jimmy: What should I call you so you don't wanna punch me in the dick as soon as I go in for a pet name? Janis: Eurgh, good shout, even if it is just to save your own bollocks, can't blame a boy. I don't fucking know, what's not vomit-inducing but also #couplegoals enough to make it worth the hassle? Janis: Blah, just remember my name, yeah, that'll have 'em creaming. Such courtesies are not often extended their way, like. Jimmy: Deal. And I'll # everything #JJ so you can block it from your feed easy Janis: Solid. Janis: Imma take a picture with your dog tomorrow, it best be fucking cute. Jimmy: [Takes a selfie with Twix and sends it] Do you? Jimmy: Not my #goals but should spark jealousy with the intended Janis: Cute. Janis: The dog ain't bad either. 😉 Janis: I'm getting in practice Jimmy: I'll do mine in the comments when it's posted Jimmy: How keen is cringe in the eyes of Gracie and her friends? Janis: You're asking a mouthful there. If you're too nice, they'll say you're boring. But they've gotta at least pretend they're feminists in this day and age so if you are too full of the bants and low-key treating me like shit, they're gonna have to pretend they ain't here for that even though that's every boyf they've ever had, na'mean? Janis: Just say something confusingly inappropriate for what is not gonna be a hot pic, isn't that how you lads do? Janis: I'll set you up with a lame caption Jimmy: Thanks. There's back room access in it for you Jimmy: Again not a private snapchat invite Janis: Steady on there, not until the 3rd date, at least! 😂 Jimmy: 😂 Jimmy: Seriously though. You're not as much of a bitch as everyone says. Nice one. Janis: Well, don't be spreading that backhander about, will ya? Janis: You've got a rep to make, that's a bit of mine I'd like to protect Jimmy: 🤐

#that was fun #jj ftw
