CHILDE as your makulit na fuck boy na suki sa away (PT. 1)
WARNING: Filipino Modern AU, the entire story is in Tagalog and Taglish (I'm so sorry), OC X Genshin character, OOC, a ton of grammatical errors, typos, wala na ata
Hihihihihi, it's my first time making AUs like these and I'm enjoying it so far. It's tiring to edit and think of what the characters should say but I'm loving it so far. And btw this will serve as the second fanfic for my birthday special, the other parts neto I think won't be a part of the birthday special since I have a lot of fanfic ideas.
Isa nanamang napaka-nakakagagong umaga.
Sa sobrang pag mamadali ko nakalimutan ko dalhin yung payong ko, and on top of that napaka init pa then it so happens na hindi ako mahatid ng mama o ng papa ko kaya naisipan ko na lang maglakad kesa maghintay sa driver namin na matapos makipag landian sa mayor doma.
Sa sobrang init, I decided to take a rest at a bus shed and took out my phone at nakitang nag-chat na yung kaibigan ko.
I started to walk again hanggang makita ko na yung gate ng school namin, I thank my mom for picking a house na malapit sa school na pinili ko kaya marami akong choices of transportation to go to school kada araw.
Lumine and I headed up to our classroom and immediately sat down, letting the air conditioning in our class to cool ourselves bago kami makipag-chikahan ulit.
Afterwards, nag chat sakin yung kaibigan ko from the other section.
Nakinig ako sa announcement ni sir about sa agenda namin this new school year, there was not much difference since all the faces were just the same from last school year. That's when pinakilala na nya yung sinasabi ni Eula na new student ng klase namin; he was tall, blue eyed, and had orange hair.
Nagsi-tilian ang mga babae kong classmate to which hindi ko naman sinuway, I must admit— gwapo sya.
Pagkatapos nyang ipakilala sarili nya na hindi ko naman pinakinggan, our adviser then decided to elect class officers since we all already know each other and know who would be the best for each position.
It took a while pero natapos na din yung mga votings. As usual, ako nanalo as class president while my other friend Keqing won vice president.
Si Childe naman, yung new guy, he won escort and partnered up with Lumine as muse.
Pagkatapos ng first lesson namin sa Science, our teacher grouped us into two.
I was saddened na sa iba na-partner si Lumine but I was still keen on getting with someone I know that will help me; there was still Keqing, Yanfei, and Amber.
But then—
"Miss Angelica... partner mo si Mister Ajax."
It was already lunch time, I just walked up to Ajax and handed him my number with no further explanations other than telling him to chat with me later about our project.
Nasa cafeteria na kami nila Eula at Lumine when I suddenly received a message.
As I was about to put my phone away to continue eating with my friends, Lumine and Eula decided to ask. Mga Marites pala kaibigan ko.
"Who was that?" Tanong ni Eula.
"Ayieee baka pumapagibig na best friend ko neto ng hindi ko alam ha!" Tukso ni Lumine.
I sighed.
"It's just Ajax, he's asking about our project."
The two looked at each other, Lumine having a mischievous expression on her face before turning back to me.
"Baka fini-first move ka na nyan ah!" She started.
"Hala, baka hindi naman... alam mo naman kung gaano kasungit si ma'am, maybe he just wants to finish the project early." Sabat ni Eula.
But hindi nagpa-awat ang blondina kong kaibigan at nagawa ma n'yang ngumisi ng mas malaki pa sa usual smile nya.
"Nako nako... dyan nagsimula lolo at lola ko eh!"
"Ay, may karapatan na palang mag-aral mga babae noon?" Sabat ko, which made Lumine pout and Eula laughing at her face seeing how Lumine couldn't accept defeat.
Nung gabing yun, while I was making advance studies on our future topics, I decided to send Ajax a message regarding our project.
He's nice naman.
Pero nakukutuban lang ako, I just hope our project goes well.
A/N: Ramdam ko na ang pawis at tiyaga ng mga AU makers sa tiktok, pero okay na yun kasi nagawa ko na yung gusto.
It's so fun making AUs like this in fairness, might continue doing these in the future.

“No man, not even the most perfect, can bear such compulsion.”
This is translated from a letter Auguste, vice-queen of Italy, wrote to her brother Ludwig of Bavaria in 1811, published in A. Schroll, Prinzessin Auguste Amalie von Bayern, 3rd edition, AVM München 2013
A few days ago, the Prussian chamberlain Baron von Ramdohr gave me your letter dated 17 September, in which you write about your marriage. In it, dear brother, you ask me a question that is difficult to answer.
I’ve not seen Ludwig’s letter quoted anywhere, though admittedly I didn’t look very hard. Maybe it’s lost or simply unpublished. So we can only guess from Auguste’s answer that, with his own wedding day coming closer and seeing how his bride felt about him, he may have gotten cold feet a bit? In any case, it seems he wanted some advice on how to have a happy marriage life. And whom better to ask about this than Ludwig’s very own sister, notoriously happy in her shameful marriage to this totally unsuitable Frenchman? - It was a bit of a touchy question, it seems, in particular as there apparently had been tensions in the marriage of Auguste’s and Ludwig’s parents:
Our good mother's overly excessive love for our father caused her unhappiness, not because she loved him unspeakably, but because she loved for herself and demanded equally strong love and perpetual attention from our father. No man, not even the most perfect, can bear such compulsion.
This sounds as if Wilhelmine (Ludwig’s and Auguste’s mother) had been the rather clingy kind. I can see how Max Joseph (at least as much of a womanizer as Eugène in his youth!) would have reacted badly to that. Auguste continues:
Never have I had a gloomy moment with my own [husband], but I love and cherish him more than I will ever be able to say. I stake my happiness on doing everything that is dear to him. Alas, I see little of him, for his duties call him to important business. But when he comes to me, he is sure to be well received, and no questions, that only jealousy can entertain, will come from my lips.
So this is apparently the one lesson Auguste learned for herself from her parents’ marriage: Don’t nag.
And he sees me as his best friend and finds comfort only in me when he feels sorrow. Our mutual trust makes our happiness. The only pretense I permit myself is to appear satisfied when I have to do something that pleases my husband, even if it is not to my liking.
I guess the “sorrow” and “trust” part really is important here. Eugène had felt very alone in Italy, overworked, out of his depths, and cut off from everyone before his marriage, that gets pretty clear from his correspondence. It changes very quickly after he brings home his wife.
In no way do I want to present myself as an example for your wife, I can be wrong, dear brother, I leave it to your judgement. But do not be afraid of your wife's too great love, she can cause your misfortune, but more likely your happiness, which depends on your behaviour towards her.
Those last words Auguste better should have written in fat, bold, capital letters, in red ink, and underlined them several times. Because I fear the one difference between her marriage and that of her brother was indeed – the husband’s character.
Needless to say, Ludwig treated his future wife like shit: bossed her around, knocked her up on a regular basis only to leave her alone with the kids, spent literally every winter in Italy with some mistress or other, had affairs – publicly known, of course - when he was home, barely allowed his wife enough pocket money so she could occasionally visit her parents … but it took until Lola Montez came around in 1848 for Queen Therese to actually protest.
Of course, Auguste, too, at some point had to reign in her husband and his womanizing ways. But as soon as she did let him know how much he had hurt her, he was at her feet again. Eugène’s main character trait was the need to be loved. Ludwig was very different from him in that regard.

Who changed Lola Bunny?
Malcolm D. Lee explained, “This is 2021. It’s important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters. … So we reworked a lot of things, not only her look, like making sure she had an appropriate length on her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice. For us, it was, ‘Let’s ground her athletic prowess, her leadership skills, and make her as full a character as the others.'”
(See the complete interview here: X)
So, gone are her curves, thigh-high drawstring shorts and midriff-baring crop top. Instead, Lola Bunny now takes on a sportier look wearing a more standard basketball vest and leggings under her track shorts.
But, let's see more deeply what determinated this choice:
1. Being mad at a fan art is sad, people.
Before, a sad 50 yo guy starts complaing about how "cancel culture" or "politically correct" ruined his life - Really? Changing a cartoon bunny from a movie you didn't see for a decade ruined your life? Wow. Someone should really review the list of their priorities -, let's see how really Lola looked in the 1996 original Space Jam.
Here we have original Lola Bunny:
(Here you can see all Lola's scenes in Space Jam: X)
Yes, Lola walked in a sexy way that show off her curves, or at least she seemed to have curves (a little breast, tight waist, long legs, bootie), but those are not big as in the fan art you are seeing around, and Lola's curves are not evidenced during the match or when she played. Is more her attitude and posture that made her look sexy. However, althought her curves clearly changes every time she is doing something different, from action to action, there are some scenes in which she is purposely made sexy, with saxophone music as soundtrack and male-gaze sections that ends in the same way, Lola surrounded by a bunch of horny and howling cartoon guys.
That's appropriate with Jessica Rabbit: she is purposely made and designed as a parody of the femme fatale from old hard boiler movies, in which attractive, mysterious women were portrayed as evil and manipulative gals who hide criminal intentions. Jessica, with her intentionally exaggerated body, subverted the misogyny of 40s and 30s detective movies: she is kind-hearted, truly loves her naive and goofy husband Roger and uses her powers (beauty and cunning) to protect him. Her body too is used for comic sketches, while this not happens for Lola, that's just a serious and indipendent basketball player. So, the male obsession for her body is out of place, expecially because she reacted with anger at being misconsidered only for being an attractive female bunny. “Don't call me doll” is her catch phrase. So, it seems strange she didn't react at all at the very sexualized presentation at the final basketball match: Lola simply shows her basketball skills, ignoring or accepting passively the reaction of the honey crowd of wolves around her. (Please, notice the association: Lola “admirers” are wolves, predators, while Lola, their object of desire, is a rabbit, a prey)
This is the cartoon version of cat calling: they are like a group of men who sit on their porches and whistle at girls everyday when they walk in from of them. A normal girl or woman would pass over this thing, even if they are bothered, unconfortable or embarassed, because they are more scared by a possible violent reaction of this whistling horny guys at their legitimate anger objections. But here, we are talking of Lola, a strong Looney Tunes bunny, and she could smash that damn basket ball on wolves' face, breaking all their teeth. That would be very a Looney reaction. But Lola doesn't react at all at this situation. Here, on my opinion, screenplayers missed an opportunity, but probably they thought to have already did too much with Lola's personality and “girl power”.
Remember also that Lola is the only young cartoon female character we see in the whole movie. So we can't do a proper comparison with other female relevant characters' rapresentation. (See here for a deeper analysis of Lola's origin and development: X)
However, compared with Bugs, Lola looks more fit, more humanized than Bugs. Lola has clearly a definited breast and booty, but it looks like is more her posture that makes them relevant. Lola has clearly shoulders back to show the rack. Bugs is anthropomorphic but remains an animal, has no shoulders or pectorals more like a human and looks a bit over-weight (fat belly). And his posture don't keep that stomach in, chin up, and march forward.
Lola, on the other hand, has a more human structure. That's why I say she has curves. An example are Mickey and Minnie who are two beans in the same way it is not that Mickey is a bean and Minnie has small tits, they are structurally alike.
Lola's body remembers highly No-Ribs-Jasmine from Aladdin (see the gif for reference). That unrealistic Barbie-like waist that was so popular in the 90s and 80s. (See here for references: X and X)
Now, we are changed a lot from the past 24 years. Barbies didn't have that impossible, unrealistic waist-line anymore, Disney princess concept has changed (see Merida and Moana).
Lola concept is changed in 2012: her design for the new cartoons is totally different and her personality too. She wear a blue or violet dress, almost flat-chested and she was made annoying and silly, just to make a contrast with Bugs smarter. Just like Daffy Duck is dumb as hell and his new girlfriend, Tina Russo (no more dear old Melissa Duck), is way smarter than him. Tina is tough, street-smart, rebellious and feisty. But we will see this thing in the next point.
2. People on the upper floors hated Lola personality.
Lola Bunny had only few lines in Space Jam, but she definitely passed the first impression that she was draw only for make male characters fall in love. Lola was a good basketball player and show it off, in front of a skeptical and then astonish bunch of cartoon guys and also Michael Jordan. She also had a strong personality and said it clear to Bugs she didn't like being called "doll". Lola was beauty and curvy, but not a cheerleader. Lola was a basketball player. Remember this part, because we will talk about basketball in the next point.
If at the box office Space Jam was a success, at Warner Bros there were those who turn up their noses, and they are important people, from the upper floors, who accused the film with Michael Jordan of having completely distorted the philosophy of the Looney Tunes. They blamed Lola Bunny more than everything else. Producers of Warner Bros said she was too perfect for the moody group of Warner cartoons: she was too sensual, provocative and independent, totally alien to that core of crazy characters that act as an exaggeration of the vices of 'man.
And fans hated her too. Chuck Jones, creator of the Merrie Melodies said: "Lola Bunny is a character with no future, she’s a totally worthless character with no personality."
So, Lola Bunny was deleted. Lola would make only some brief apparitions in some comics edited by DC Comics, in Baby Looney Tunes, in which she was a toddler with a very similar personality and resemblance to Space Jam adult version, and also as playable character in some unsuccessful videogames.
Years passed and projects for a sequel of Space Jam never become reality, so in 2003 Warner Bros relased Looney Tunes Back in Action. But Lola wasn't here, because the movie purposely want to make a deep cut with what we saw in Space Jam, according to what said it's director Joe Dante. This movie was a totally failure, but it gave back to Looney Tunes their craziness.
Years passed again, but this time is 2011, 10th of May on Cartoon Network was relased the second episode of The Looney Tunes Show. The series aimed to strongly relaunch the Looney Tunes, long gone from the glories of the past, updating the stories of Bugs Bunny and associates in a sitcom key, with the rabbit sharing a house with Daffy Duck in a suburb of Los Angeles. All interspersed with sketches by Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner done in CGI and the updated return of the Merrie Melodies. But the big news of the second episode is that LOLA BUNNY RETURNED.
And Lola was a character with some relevance within the series, even if something didn't seem right with her. Lola looked different, she was no longer the rabbit version of the femme fatale seen in Space Jam: she was naive, talkative, with her head in the clouds, crazy to the point of becoming Bugs Bunny's stalker. Bugs after having fallen in love with her at first glance understands on the first date that he absolutely can't stand Lola. She is no longer the Lola we used to know, even if the appearance is similar and the name is the same. Lola is effectively a Looney Tunes now. And the fans like her, the public like her, Warner Bros like her.
(See Lola in The Looney Tunes Show here: X)
But this is a big walk in behind from the indipent character we used to know in Space Jam. Lola was turned into the stereotype of the crazy girlfriend for a while. And this is not a surprise, if we remember that in 2012 were popular the "overly attached girlfriend" meme template. (See here for references: X)
However, in The Looney Toons Show Lola has some very funny moments, while in Space Jam she was more serious and a little out of space among the other characters. (See here for references: X)
3. What women wear when they play basketball?
Women's National Basketball Association was only created in 1996. So, women's basketball were not considered - and still is not considered - as important as men's basketball at the time Space Jam was filmed.
In Space Jam 2 there will be WNBA players with a significant role, for example Diana Taurasi and Nneka Ogwumike.
Professional female athletes aren't that curvy because curves are determined by body fat and they have a little.
As a busty volleyball player, I can say, dear people, breats could be very annoying during sport activities: it could be a pain, when you run or jump. That's because a lot of women wear sport bra to compress and support their breast. Sports bra may also include layered cups or a high neck to keep everything in place and protect from painful hits, so women can be safe and comfortable during workouts.
Female basketball players didn't wear crop-tops and tight shorts to play. They wear exactly what Lola wears in the picture above: long sleeveless tees, large shorts and maybe protective gears such as knee pads, sleeves or braces to reduce chronic pain caused by the immense burden put on the knees in basketball, to prevent bruises caused by collisions and hard fall and to provide support after a significant knee injury like an ACL tear. They could wear also compressive arms sleeves to help muscles that are sore or overworked to recover faster. The sleeve enables your blood flow to circulate quicker to the heart, which helps you heal and recover quicker.
Wow. WNBA wears Exactly what wear NBA players. So surprising.
4. This is only a promotional character sketch, not what Lola would look in the movie.
Space Jam 2 would be developed in CGI and there are a little preview frames going around, included one showing Lola jumping and you can see her breast shape. But she totally looks like a comic cartoon character. It's not humanized. It's not designed to be the sexy love interest. She doesn't look out of space among the others anymore, expecially because seems that there would be also Tweety's Granny and Melissa Duck or Tina Russo as players too.
5. Reality.
Really? You want a human anthropomorphic rabbit? Well, Lola as a rabbit would have something like six nipples, but no human-like breast. And, also, real life girls have ribs. No one in real life is that thin. Oh, well, if you don't considered Pixee Fox, a model who had surgically removed six ribs and wears daily a compressive bust corset (yes, like the one that made Elizabeth Swan faint in the first movie of Pirate of the Caribbean) to look like a cartoon fairy (Tinkerbell, you are the one to blame for this).
(See here for references: X)
In conclusion, we can say that all this controversy is based only on a porny fan art and that Lola “new” graphic isn't change too much from the original Space Jam movie. It's just a little more cartoonish.
We can also firmly remeber that Space Jam 2 is going to be developed for children, to relunch Looney Tunes among new generations of children, who are the largest buyers of merchandising (including Happy Meals surprises) and consumers of new cartoons that surely would be developed, if Space Jam 2 would be a success.
However, we should admit that those kids probably know better the 2011 version of Lola than her original version and that 2011 version was more appreciated by fans and producers. Lola's voice actress, Kristen Wiin won BTVA People's Choice Voice Acting Award in 2012 and was nominated for that prize also about three times in the following years. Also Rachel Ramras, Lola's voice actor was nominated for BTVA People's Choice Voice Acting Award in 2016 for her role in Looney Tunes: Rabbit Run.
We don't know anything about Lola's personality in Space Jam 2, so we can't do a proper comparison or a prevision, but, according to what Malcolm D. Lee said, we can assume that original personality of Lola would be preserved.
The controversy is relevant only for Lola's body and not for her personality, and that's is highly rappresentative of what impressed more this bunch of grow-up kids. They grow up to be like the horny wolves and they are howling because their prey is not available anymore.
And, to be honest, being so obsessed with the breast and the body of a cartoon character (that is clearly made up for kids) it's not sane at all. Sorry to say that, but sometimes people need to drink from a bottle of truth.

"I swear half this fandom don't actually like Ben" lmao true! Thing is though he's not likeable all the time and he can be a right old dick. But personally even if I don't like him or his actions at certain times, I feel like the broader picture is still there and I root for him because I get why he's like he is? And I can see and appreciate the softer sides of him even if they're fairly well hidden at times.
I also think some people in the fandom intellectually understand that he's traumatised and a survivor of various abuses, and when that shows in certain ways e.g. like if Callum or Lola is comforting while he's crying. But when it comes to situations like this week with Jags and Whitney, I personally think some people have struggled to understand how his trauma connects to it because it's not as obvious as e.g. Whitney's fiance dies, Gray manipulates her, bish bash bosh hit and run. Even more broadly I think it's easy for the audience to underestimate how Ben's experiences have shaped him because there's a distance created by time, his criminal actions, his (un)likeability factor, not viewing Phil as an abusive parent etc.
I don't wanna say everyone criticising him is like that btw! I'm sure there's a few reasons but I think this plays a part tbh.
i get what you're saying but to me it's like.... why would you even waste so much time invested into someone you don't like most of the time. i genuinely don't get it. ppl tend to ship ballum but hate ben AND hate the majority of the sls lately and it's like.... it's 2021 bro it's not like gay couples are THAT rare anymore there is so much media out there if you're not enjoying what ee are doing then you literally do not have to watch. in fact im BEGGING you for your sake not to. literally just do not engage with media that you aren't enjoying. do not sit in your own negativity writing 20 posts a day abt 'why are they doing this? why don't they do that? if they did this i would enjoy it more' bc you're only making yourself miserable. like this goes for any type of media but literally just stop engaging w it if you're not enjoying it anymore. the think pieces don't help anyone. your opinions aren't universal and they aren't gospel. we all need to stop confusing our opinions w facts. just bc i'm not enjoying smth doesn't mean other ppl aren't and vice versa. just bc i'm not enjoying smth doesn't mean that the thing needs to change. eg i hate the fact that callum is a copper and pray every day that something will force him out of it BUT it doesn't really affect my overall enjoyment of him as a character and it doesn't mean that the show has to make him quit just bc i don't like it. you (the royal you not u specifically anon lmao) might hate the fact that ben still does illegal stuff but that doesn't mean the show has to make him stop just bc you don't like it. if it affects how much you enjoy him as a character/ben and callum as a couple then maybe consider stopping watching. festering in the energy of 'i hate this, i hate what they're doing and here's 1200 words why' is unhealthy! i learned this the hard way !
i know this seems like an irrelevant ramble but i think i've realized that this is what my issue is. ppl not understanding trauma is frustrating and damaging and still pisses me off, but i feel like what actually pisses me off more are the ppl who just don't even attempt to be understanding bc underneath it all they're angry/frustrated at the show/sls and that's how it manifests itself. ppl don't like the direction ben and/or callum are going in and so the minute they (and it's usually ben lbr) step out of line they JUMP on that as an excuse to vent their frustrations and often end up saying shit that is ignorant or damaging or mean or just straight up cruel abt things that are so often symptoms of mental illness or trauma. so they're out here posting so many things and making these cruel little comments bc they can't just acknowledge that they don't actually like ballum anymore meanwhile ppl who are actually disabled/mentally ill/traumatised are sitting there reading all of these things and seeing all the people agreeing w them and it's doing real life damage to people.
is it on purpose? probably not. but that doesn't make the damage any less real. i have never forgotten or forgiven the way ppl reacted after ben went deaf. it was vile. as a disabled person who reacted very badly to being disabled just like ben did, it genuinely fucked me in the head seeing what ppl said abt him during that time. now i understand that it was partially ignorance but also a big chunk of it was ppl being unhappy bc they thought they wouldn't be able to enjoy their ship anymore bc ben was disabled (not that he hadn't been disabled before, but now it wasn't ignorable anymore).
idk there's more i could say but i feel like it's pointless. ppl don't care lmao all they care abt is their ship. which, ok fine whatever, but stop letting ur mentally ill/traumatised/disabled followers get caught in the crossfire bc you can't just admit you're not enjoying it anymore and feel the need to tear the thing down and rant about how it's 'bad writing' or 'out of character' etc etc. it's frustrating to read (which is why im never on here anymore) and speaking from experience it hurts YOU in the long run. negativity breeds more negativity.
you don't need to make excuses! just let it go! find something that does make you happy! you deserve that! and we deserve to be able to enjoy something without seeing ppl tearing it (or worse - us) down every 5 minutes !!
(edit - to clarify anon none of this was aimed at you i just sort of started ranting and didn't even really answer ur question im sorry !! i get what ur saying tho lmao 💞💞💞)
#eastenders#anon#question#like it's just nitpicking and it's too much it's tired#how are you mad they're still social distancing ? you are literally just looking for smth to be mad at atp#like please im begging just admit it's not something you enjoy anymore and GO#i just want peace... that's all i want

Doujinshi Google Drive
Hey guys! Those of you on my server have already seen this (or if you check the blog, it’s there, too) but I wanted to make sure some people on tumblr here don’t miss it:
We’re uploading all of our Doujinshi, RAW or not, into the google drive link below
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17rYSmfcPaHgk4URnQdzAVbc9puL-gsfK?usp=sharing
We’re still going to put the doujinshi on the blogger site so you can ready them there. The point of this drive is:
1. download links will now go to there
2. insurance in case something happens to my hard drive
3. RAWs are uploaded as well
The downside is there are NO CONTENT WARNINGS: The drive is organized by couple, whether it is R or not, and if its RAW or scanlated. This system is not perfect as the point is to get the doujins out in public as quickly as possible, so R rated content may show up in SFW stuff and vice versa! Look through at own risk. So if you are worried about content subject, please continue to use blogger instead. All content warnings will continue to be used there.
And of course, if anyone has anything to contribute, scans, translations, edits of the RAWs, you are more than welcome to submit them to [email protected]
You can also support us and help pay for the cost of the drive here!
Happy reading~!

Hi everyone, i wanted to make a post about Eliott and his insta. Especially how meaningful it tends to be. Back in S3 we know Eliott set up a POLARIS cipher puzzle to find @srodulv, and he would tend to post stuff that would foreshadow his personal SKAM or actually the plot e.g. double trouble cartoon, Virginia Woolf, My Own Private Idaho etc.
With this season S3 Eliott is back again, and once again his insta is foreshadowing the plot. Ok, just hear my rambling theory out. Eliott likes film, works in a film store and is posting movie recommendations as well as his own little obscure movies. We know the spoiler. We know a movie is gonna be made soon that will cause drama. Let's look at Eliott's movie insta posts for a minute.
1: Moonlight - a queer movie about same sex love. Specifically in this movie is a theme of the character struggling to come to terms with his identity and connection is very scary. The character has issues with being touched. How does this relate to the show. Well Lola is a depressive who has developed feelings for Maya. Lola has no issues with sleeping with others on her benders but it's pretty obvious that it's self destruction and not true connection. Lola is lonely and hurting and when she hurts she uses vices to bring some release e.g. cutting, drugs, alcohol, sex etc.
But Lola is looking for true connection but there is an intimacy fear there which makes her angry and closed off. In EP:1 Lola was taking pictures of the city. She took a picture of a quote "I want to get under your skin" and what is happening so far is that Maya has gotten under Lola's skin. So safe to say that if true about Eliott's Insta. Lola/Maya and W/W connection and love is this theme.
2: Parasite: Ok this movie is about not falling in line and screwing the system. The Rich own everything and it's basically class inequality and the characters obviously are sick of it and seek to do something about this unfair class system. Ok how does it relate to the show? The first thing is that the Lecomptes are lower class, they live in flats and are tight on money. The dad either does shift work, or doesn't work at all. Daphne told the dad that her birthday isn't an issue and she knows that they need to watch their money. They end up throwing Daphne a surprise birthday and Daphne whines hiding in the kitchen not wanting to have it as she is ashamed and prideful over the gang knowing that they live in flats. She's hidden her home and always had pretenses and airs and graces. Now the gang are in it and she's focusing on the class inequality between her and her friends. Lola tells her to wake up and go to her friends who love her. Daphne does.
The second part of the theme of screwing the system is urbex/lamifex/Otteli. So Eliott is the urbex legend Otteli. He has a passion that is very illegal and dangerous and he does it at night channeling his raccoon persona. Lamifex love urban exploring, specifically around the La Petite Ceinture area, which is a huge abandoned railway system that runs throughout Paris. It's very popular in reality for urbex and the underground Parisian Art scene. Lamifex connect to Otteli as they revere him and he's a rockstar in their community. It's not the last we see of this theme as there's gonna be more urbex with and without Otteli. So this theme is ongoing. But basically it's the intoduction of urbex/grafitti art and our characters intersecting for the S6 plot.
(Edit: wanted to add another movie Eliott chose in the recent mardi scene and watched with Lola.)
3: The Kid: this is a 1920's black and white silent movie directed by Charlie Chaplin. It's about the relationship between a tramp and an abandoned child. The tramp takes the child under his wing and mentors the child. They have fun and friendship as the movie is a dramedy (comedic drama). They get into schemes together and look out for each other. How does it relate to the show? Ok, so Lola is the abandoned kid. She's lost and looking for connection. Maya has ghosted her and she's taken to wandering the street at night while the dad works to avoid Daphne. Eliott is the tramp who is working in the video store. Lola now reaches out to him as she is desperately trying not to slip and go back to the club and get high and forget.
Eliott sees her with a smile and a "how do you do?" He is instantly welcoming and open. He literally (arm around the shoulder) takes her under his wing. He gives her compassion and comfort and expects nothing in return. 😍 he can see she needs to talk but doesn't push her. He sees she's homeless, so offers her a seat. He chooses 'The Kid' and they watch it. So this i suspect is the dynamic going forward. Eliott is going to nurture and help Lola. He right now is between her, the club, and her self destructive habits. The source of connection she needs. She's deeply hurt by Maya's silence, and she may not understand it right now but Maya has her reasons for pulling back, as we very much know. Eliott's friendship is gonna help her learn what true connection is, and the importance of holding on to the people in your life. Eliott may also have a story to tell Lola as he can identify with Maya right now (S3 text to lucas over his bipolar)
What Eliott is also going to do is give Lola a sense of purpose, focus, and direction. I don't know how he involves her in the movie he's making but i suspect it may be a moment where he sees her vulnerable to her vices (drink/drugs) or she simply tells him she's an addict. But Eliott involving Lola and Lamifex in his uni project is gonna distract Lola so much. And the movie may even help Lola with her love towards Maya. POLARIS is about connection and the fear of it.
The Kid is also a comedic drama, one of the first of it's kind. Chaplin's words were "a picture with a smile...and perhaps, a tear" meaning the relationship will be bittersweet, and there will be pain involved among the friendship, and the Eliott and Lola connection will ultimately be a healing one.
Right, so that's Eliott's actual Movie recommendations that he has posted on his insta. Edit: And our boy is gonna keep it up with his pretentious obscure tastes. So I'm just gonna keep editing this each time. 😄
My next post will be about his personal insta posts of his obscure favourites, and how they are connecting to the plot. Thanks for reading. 😊

2020 Reading Challenge - E-Book Edition!
According to Amazon, I have exactly 294 e-books currently sitting in my Kindle library.
Granted, some of these books have been read and are being saved for a second (or third, or fourth) re-read, but when it comes down to it, that number is around 40 books, give or take.
Which means I still have over 250 books that need to be read.
And it’s not like I haven’t tried! There are plenty of titles that, when opened up, will go to the last place I left off - that being chapter 5, or maybe chapter 10. But sometimes life gets in the way. Or a sudden interest in another author. Or a new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. But whatever the reason may be, it’s over 250 books that haven’t been read. Challenge accepted!
For 2020, I commit to not buying any new books to add to my Kindle library (checking out books from the library is ok, because you’ve gotta support your local library!), and instead focus on the books I already have. So no addition of 99 cent books, or Kindle Unlimited books, or books that are suddenly 75% off. Only the books that I currently have.
As the reading commences, and after the book is finished, I’ll update my list to indicate what has been completed, along with the date purchased, and a short review (or a reason I just couldn’t finish it at all).
Below is the list for future reference - and to clarify my what my favorite genre is. Spoiler: it’s romance novels.

Welp, tonight we finished Exit Signs!
Rrroberto’s cover died, but he came back as Kara: all along they’d been the librarian from Florence’s original hometown. After what happened to Florence, Kara is the new bus driver.
The original Channery Keene has moved in with Julia at Subtle Green. Since werewolves don’t need some cyborg to protect them physically, Channery thinks she might take it easy and do some Genius maintence on the camp. Her girlfriend LOVES this.
Swing is taking on additional responsibilities from Amical in the future. Though his business has little formal structure, he’s named her Vice President Of Adorable Things. This essentially means she now outranks Amical, and is the new head of the Western Tass Market.
Amical is currently on vacation in the Bahamas.
Dr. Drew Cross was never tainted by The Void. He’s still trying to figure out why the map of the world doesn’t make sense...
...and the creature who consumed the existence of his sister, becoming Lola Cross...is still keeping the truth hidden.
Chrome is helping Prism adjust to his fallen life, but outlook’s good. There may be a new god in town, soon...
Amon and Johann are staying on the bus for now. Both of them have been cooped up for so long, they’re eager to get a good look at what the world has become in their absence.
William Hunter went back to school. His grades aren’t the best, but he’s passing his classes. And finally managing to open up to his friends, bit by bit.
Asia Ellis is committed to continuing to uncover the truth. She’s starting a trend of giving serial killers purposefully cruddy names to shame them. It’s just a drop in the bucket compared to her journalism, but if you catch her at the right time, you can see a small smile on her face.
Adrienne Moore has a home in Peshtigo, her cat is living there safe and sound with her, and her brother Melvin has already visited twice. The man who originally owned the house suddenly remembered that it belonged to her, actually. How odd.
Markus “DRT” Nowak was taken into custody by the Chicago Police Department. His crooked ex-coworkers on the force would have covered for him...if not for the mountain of orderly paperwork and damning evidence that arrived with him. He is currently serving multiple life sentences alongside many of the same men he sent to jail.
Cyril McMillan is making his hallow as pleasant and well-kept as possible, a glum look on his face all the while. He doesn’t want to make that new, powerful spirit mad at him.
Owen Pierce has no trouble getting up early for work in the mornings, and Eliza “Exit” Pierce has started sleeping with earplugs in. They’re drawing up plans for the ultimate in rehabilitating traps, and when not traveling on the bus, they commute from their home in Peshtigo to their day job, in Purgatory. Owen hasn’t had a day in months without constant attention, and Exit can’t remember the last time she was lonely.
Florence Flightheart risked her life and her mind to stop Dr. Kato from ascending to godhood, coming very close to losing both in the process. Her bus is bigger and better than ever, and she’s got Kara keeping the driver’s seat ready for when she recovers, making new memories every day. Until then, Kara’s teaching her how to dissemble an SMG while firing a glock, all while driving. The bus passengers do not like this one bit.
Corbyn Benjamin merged with the spirit of Order, achieving godhood. He’s preparing to throw down with Talaiporia for the future of the Bardo. His pure heart and the support of countless friends ensure that the spirit within him will not corrupt him for years and years to come.
Last, but not least, Dr. Funko Pops married a limited edition Gamora funko pop. All of C Squad was invited to the wedding.
They went to Wisconsin Dells instead.

I’ve not really done a followers’ gift for y’all, but this time, I am gonna make up for all that with this thing I’ve been working on for quite a while.
These are clean, townie-free templates of Pleasantview, Strangetown, and Veronaville that I practically overhauled to give jobs, relationships, even new appearances for some.
They’re based on @meetmetotheriver‘s “Fixed Dead” templates, so resurrecting sims should be much safer.
More info under the cut (WARNING: THIS IS A VERY LONG POST)
PRE-REQUISITES: Theo’s Alien Eyes for All Skintones (WARNING: THIS WILL ENABLE THE CC STAR IN CAS. DO NOT DELETE IT)
DOWNLOAD LINKS: Main Hood | Shopping District (alternate versions are labeled clearly)
KNOWN ISSUES:
You need to change their appearance in the mirror to see the facial changes. You don’t need to do anything but you must click Accept.
Mary-Sue’s rigged chance card might not appear in the main hood version.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for main hood: Put directly in your Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods folder AND/OR put in your -INSTALL LOCATION-TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods folder. If you choose the latter, make sure you take backups of your existing templates first.
for shopping district: Put in your -INSTALL LOCATION-\The Sims 2 Open For Business\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate folder. This is meant to replace the templates by @meetmetotheriver so delete the B994, B995, and B996 folders if you have them.
FOR ULTIMATE COLLECTION USERS: follow the same instructions, except your base game folder is under Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base, and your OFB folder is under Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Best for Business\EP3
