holy fuck i just got the most passive aggressive email from a teacher

#parent teacher conference thing was today and apparently my mother wasnt the only one who didnt book because #‘im sitting here waiting at the PT conference many of you didnt bother to make an appointment for :)’ #yes she actually added the smiley face #im sorry what the fuck makes her think we have the authority to force our parents to take their time to go sit & talk to the teachers? #also most of them have jobs??? why should they be expected to use a day off for this??? #they literally gave us *one* day & we just had to choose the times #and she thinks it’s unreasonable that not everyone was able to go on this one specific weekday between 3-8pm??? #and idk if anyone else was in this position but. personally?? #my mother did not have work or anything at that time. she easily couldve gone. but she didnt (and never has) because she doesnt like them. #which is perfectly understandable #but it literally isnt my choice. i have no power to go up to her and say ‘hey you need to go to that’ #bc being a teacher she knows the legal stuff and knows she doesn’t actually have to go if she doesnt want to #no matter how much the school might insist #and she is determined not to go to these things for some reason & i cannot change her mind #but now i have to deal with this bullshit

[pebiejeebies]

Spoilers below!! Watch iii18 <33

DID ANYONE NOTICE ALL THE KINDNESS THAT WAS TOWARDS CABBY?? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DID?!

*sry for these two agh—*

SORRY I HAD TO— LOOK AT THEM 😭😭‼️‼️

BACK TO THE RAMBLES

YOU GO BOT!! BEAT HIS ASS!!

LOOAAADDSS OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS I DIDNT EXPECT GETTING AFTER THIS EPISODE

Ramble below if you’re interested <3

OKAY SO WHAT-

THE AMMOUNT OF RECOGNITION, FORGIVENESS, AND LITERAL CONFUSION WITH CABBY’S GOOD AND BAD THINGS IN THIS EPISODE WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME

EVEN PAINTBRUSH, FAN, AND TESTTUBE, WHO WERE THE BIGGEST ENEMIES, WERE SLIGHTLY ON HER SIDE! AND EVEN SUPPORTED HER CHANGE!!

LIKE— AND WHEN BOT MENTIONED HOW HARD IT MUSTVE BEEN FOR CABBY TO REJOIN AFTER BEING ELIMINATED BY LITERALLY EVERYONE (MAINLY TESTTUBE) IS ACTUALLY TRUE

YOU REJOIN TO PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO SEE YOU TALK OR EVEN BREATHE AFTER WHAT YOU DID, THEN YOU START AN ALLIANCE TO KEEP YOURSELF IN THE GAME WITH SO MUCH HATE AIMED TOWARDS YOU WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL GET ELIMINATED TOO—

THEN SHE SLOWLY AND STEADILY STARTS TO WALK ON THE RIGHT PATH!! SHE NOTICED HER WRONGS, AND STARTED WITH YINYANG, SHE MADE A HEALTHY FRIENDSHIP! AND THEN BOT! TWO HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS THAT SHE DIDNT EXPECT TO EVEN FIGHT FOR HER SAKE

THE SHOCK IN HER FACE WHEN YINYANG, CLOVER, AND BOT WERE CONFUSED ABOUT HER BAD SIDE WAS LITERALLY HEART WARMINGGGG IM GONNA EXPLODE

WORST PART? SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW THAT ANYONE IS PROTECTING HER IN THAT JAIL!! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE MADE TOO MUCH OF A WRONG AND DOESNT THINK ANYONE WOULD FIGHT FOR HER!! (Other than balloon,, yikes man,, only two votes 😭)

Okay but let’s be fr, we all collectively got angry from Nickel in this scene right?? RIGHT????

LUCKYYYYYYY??? LUUUUUUUCCCCKKKYYYYYY???? ME OH MY. ME AND CABBY HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON, AND THATS NEVER LUCK! EVEN IF HE DOESNT KNOW THAT SHE STRUGGLED, THAT DOESNT GIVE HIM ANY RIGHT TO DESTROY SOMEONE ELSES STRUGGLES BY COMPARING THEM TO OTHERS!! YES I GET IT, HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS

BUT THIS IS JUST.. PATHETIC 😭

HE’S TRYING TO MAKE BALLOON WIN WHEN IN REALITY, NOBODY AGREES, AND HIM FIGHTING FOR BALLOON ENDS UP BY HIM SAYING ACTUAL BULLSHIT AFTERWARDS

YEAH WE GET IT, YOU LOVE BALLOON AND ADMIRE HIS CHANGE, BUT NICKEL, ONLY YOU NOTICED. HES ANGRY THAT NOBODY CARES WHEN THEY ALL HAVE A POINT!!

THEY ONLY SAW THE BAD SIDES OF BALLOON, AND NOT TO MENTION, BALLOON AND NICKEL!! THESE TWO TORE UP POOR BOT AND DIDNT EVEN SAY MUCH TO THEM!

I admire your care for them Nickel, but actually fucking wake up. Like please, get over your blindness and realize that literally NOBODY saw his arc and how he changed

WOOH. That was a slight vent there lmao.. guess who hates nickel guys…

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE OVERALL FUSS WITH CABBY IS ACTUALLY PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME! LOOK AT HER, SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW THAT BOT AND YINYANG ARE FIGHTING THEIR SOULS OUT TO MAKE HER WIN 😭😭‼️

*ahem look at balloon here aweee <3*

AND LIKE.. THAT SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT HER GUYS, SHE’S HURT, AND SHE KNOWS SHE HURT OTHERS, AND SHE FULLY EXPECTS EVERYONE TO VOTE BALLON OR SILVER OVER HER, NOT KNOWING THE TWO PEOPLE SHE HELPED ARE ACTUALLY HELPING HER BACK AND HELPING OTHERS REALIZE THE VERY SHINY OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR THE WINNER!!

THINK ABOUT IT, BALLOON? HE DID GREAT, BUT HE TOOK, JUST A LITTLE TOO LONG TO CHANGE, AND HIS CHANGE WASNT NOTICED BECAUSE LITERALLY EVERYONE WAS ELIMINATED, AND/OR WAS HIDDEN BEHIND THE FIGHTS THAT NICKEL AND BALLOON HAD! NOBODY SEES ANYTHING IN HIM BECAUSE OF THIS, AND PROBABLY NOBODY WILL VOTE HIM OTHER THAN NICKEL AND GOO (Which I think personally, goo is only voting balloon because of his poetry, which.. really says something about balloon don’t you think?)

Now SILVERSPOON?? DO I EVEN NEED TO TALK?! HIS FAT FUCKING EGO LITERALLY TORE UP FRIENDSHIPS, MANIPULATED, HURT, AND PROBABLY FUCKING KILLED HIS WIFE

DO I NEED TO CONTINUE ON HIM? NO, IM SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IM SAYING. RIGHT..??

Maybe I love seeing myself (a cabby kin) get recognition after all the struggles she goes through, but let’s be fr, Balloon? Not really, SILVERSPOON?? HELL FUCKING NO.

That’s why BOT and YINYANG WERE FRUSTRATED!!!! They’re all blind to his fucking ‘Inner flame’ or whatever, which then led his wife, and probably Mephone into so much more fucking trouble. And that infuriates the two that literally lasted so long and saw her grow from each challenge!

They’re frustrated because the obvious option is being pushed away by silver-spoon, again, with the manipulation and the tricks! AGAIN!! to try and win something that you don’t deserve (which is nothing, so like yeowch) is kinda frustrating

As much as I want cabby to win, what will she win? After all this struggle she went through, watching everyone villainize her, as she thought she was genuinely caring to help her team, and to barely survive the votes with yinyang, which then got eliminated, she then struggled to fix her friendship with bot, who both shared an equal struggle with testtube

The actual fact that bot is literally fighting their mom is wild, EVEN FAN EXPECTED THEM TO FORGIVE EACH OTHER!!

But after all of this, she really didn’t win anything

if we remove her boyfriend, (yinyang) and bff forever and ever (Bot) she sorta doesn’t win much, which really sucks

But hey, even balloon has someone to talk to, imagine being silverspoon

Even if he wins, he will LITERALLY win nothing, and good golly gosh Test tube and Paintbrush I’d like to hear why the hecking heck you’d vote for him?? Seriously? All that flattery worked THAT well?!

They do know that he’s manipulating them.. RIGHHTTT??? MAYBE IM JUST VERY FRUSTRATED THAT NOT EVERYONE WANST THE OBVIOUS WINNER TO WIN BUT HEY IM NOT WRONG!!!

I’ll gladly fight with yinyang and bot for cabby‼️‼️‼️

Alright thanks for listening to my Ted talk. Farewell, and do tell me on what you think if you have something to share :D

oracle year one born of hope from batman chronicles #5 (published 1996) is hands down the best defridging story ive ever read for a lot of reasons--the first being just that its such a damn good comic in the first place. but every time i read it im so struck by the way it reframes the casual *incidental* violence done to barbara in TKJ, where she's just an obstacle in the joker's way to get to jim (to get to batman) and it's not *about* her. on the very second page of OYO we have this:

the entire page (...minus bruce in the bg up there) is drawn from barbaras point of view while she recounts the incident from her hospital bed. literally recentering her and her perspective, her experience and her feelings. where TKJ sensationalizes and sexualizes the violence done to her we see an illustration of her choice--love for her father, "don't get up"--then the shock and pain of the injury, then the operating room.

and she opened the story with "i cant believe i was such an idiot," berating herself for not looking through the peephole or using the chain on the door before she opened it, emphasizing that she knew better, and its a very human response to being the victim of something like this--almost fixating on a small mistake you made. inside the story its about the grief and the sense of control bargaining gives you--"if only i had--!" and then on the meta level its actually addressing the "well why DIDNT barbara look through the peephole???" (<- the answer being that TKJ never considered whether or not she would have, bc that was less important to the story than hurting her.)

and the next page. god. its masterful:

the balance of OYO being a response to TKJ on a meta level and the genuine story-level exploration of barbaras feelings just in the first 3 pages alone... chefs kiss. the way it addresses the previous bullshit storytelling choices--but builds something new off of them, because that shouldn't be the end of barbaras story.

and its so fantastic bc it doesn't shy away from barbaras ugly feelings...

she's so angry and she's allowed to be. and thats also what makes it such a good defridging--that its a resonant portrayal of becoming disabled. anger, grief, humiliation, shame, fear, the absolute *slog* that is recovery, the realization that your independence has been compromised... it really reckons with what this means for her in that moment and moving forward.

just posting this one bc i love her...

and the crux of the story is barbara taking control back over her life, barbara not feeling helpless anymore. its a superhero origin story to its core and its fantastic at what it does.

and i mean... i do always feel iffy about this part:

the juxtaposition of her wanting to do this without batmans help with her, well, unknowingly accepting bruces help. makes seesaw motion with hand. i always feel like its a bit of a weak spot... i like elements of it, particularly *because* this work is addressing so much of TKJs bullshit; this is making bruce actually care about barbaras injury because fuck you he *should* care, he *should* do something. and barbaras need for independence and her struggles to accept help are pretty central to her character and in a story about disability... i mean interdependence is a core tenant of disability rights activism, no man is an island and all that. but btwn it being bruce who finds richard dragon for her to train with, and richard dragon both being yknow a man and not a wheelchair user himself, it falls flat. which is really something you notice bc the rest of the story is so damn good... its hard for me to put my finger on exactly what i think they should've done instead, bc they only had 18 pages for this story and like. it's incredibly tight, not a panel wasted, so it *was* important that barbaras teacher be someone we the reader already know, and there was no *time* to establish some other way for barbara to find someone of richard fucking dragons caliber on her own without bruces connections.

but that i guess does bring me to. the other thing i find frustrating re: OYO which is just that it's. 18 pages collected with two other stories, neither of which is memorable... i mean how many other year ones of a heavy hitter like barbara freakin gordon can you think of with less than a single full issue? and batgirl year one had 9 issues (9 mediocre, mediocre issues). i dont think OYO needed that much time (but hey neither did fucking bgyo)... but come on. come on!!!!!!

anyway whatever. oracle sweep

#dc #text #note for the record that like #barbara had already been doing oracle stuff all the way back to suicide squad in like 1988 #and i think the first bop mini was the winter before this came out #but when i say this is the defridging story i hope u still know what i mean.

[marrow-minded]

its really so funny that ruby can apologize to cordovin, someone who was blatantly racist to blake, and make peace with her that "theyre all on the same side" and "we didnt want to steal from you but you gave us no other choice" (which is total bullshit cordo literally said she would escort weiss to ironwood, why couldnt weiss have just taken oscar and qrow and the lamp and then they could have gotten direct orders from ironwood to collect the rest of the team) and after *nearly* dooming argus (through some really piss poor writing) they can all be besties and cordo gives them her blessing to steal an atlas airship, not because she was made aware of the true mission and she understands thats theres more at risk than her petty arguments with maria and sticking to the rules by the letter, but simply because ruby made a speech which included a dig at cordo physical attributes--

but General Ironwood, someone qrow has a personal connection with and history, and has actual power to make a difference in this war just from his assets alone, is someone inherently untrustworthy and needs to be lied too; not bc he did something that "forced" ruby and co to lie, but because a schnee implies that mantle didnt use to be this bad (?) and dissonance between what was being shown to the audience on screen (a pretty well taken care of couple city blocks and two drunks) and what the characters were saying (total chaos and martial law and fascist dictatorship being imposed on the poor). like ruby was willing to look past CORDOVINS blatant racism, endangerment of civilians (by jumping straight into her mech over what was essentially a petty argument that leads to the whole city being in a panic and drawing a leviathan) and is even willing to apologize and take accountability for their fuckups to leave on a good note with cordovin.

but nah ironwoods too fucked up. hes too sus. i know we literally spent the entire show up until this point showing ironwood as a well meaning ally put into tough situations and ozpin and qrow both see ironwood as an ally and yeah sure hes literally going to upgrade our weapons and gear for free and is going to give us our licenses (you know, just the entire original premise of the show being fulfilled dont focus on that) and even train us to use our semblances and aura and tools in new ways that we never thought of while also being completely open and honest about his plans that hes making with all the knowledge he has available to him (mind you, we are going to keep really vital and important information that could drastically help and change the plans around). like IGNORE all of that, its more important that we make the schnees likable and have cordovin as an ally.

Why is your Katherine so obsessed with Stefan? I know she was obsessed with him in the show but you take it up a notch and it comes across as Stefan being Katherine's main personality trait. I think it leaves a poor taste for a woman's life to revolve around a man so much that it takes a big chunk of her autonomy. Stefan has done so much to her and it's overall a poor choice to me. I don't think Katherine - being the bad bitch that she is - would pine after Stefan after he has treated her in the worst ways :/

I thought about this all day, and I decided to answer it anyway so here goes.

Katherine is extremely obsessed with Stefan in the show too? Like the second she saw him that was her entire goal in life was to be with him? She watched him for 145 years while she planned her big break for freedom from Klaus so she could be with him for REAL- She ONLY came out of the shadows because Stefan started fucking around with Elena. "I came back for you." She literally screwed herself over revealing herself to them because of Stefan. She continues to help Stefan for the entire 3 year he absolutely treats her like shit.

Which btw she DOES fuck him up several times in retaliation but never stops trying to win him back even though he's spat in her face several times. She gets turned human literally tries to off herself and Stefan just says "Suck it up" and shes right back on the obsessive wagon to win Stefan back. He fucked her, snubbed her, literally SHATTERED HER ENTIRE WORLD- and she STILL snatched Elena's body with the goal of getting Stefan back. Which was the dumbest choice on her part- but you know what she was terrified of death, out of her damn MIND with paranoia and clinging to the thing she KNOWS makes her happier than anything else- STEFAN.

LITERALLY GETS SENT TO HELL AND COMES BACK AFTER STEFAN- So yes absolutely she pines after him despite all the shitty things he did to her.

The only thing that changes in my writing? Is I give the emotional insight to why she acts like that. The internal drive. The bond that she feels to him in detail as opposed to us just seeing her on screen saying she loves Stefan.

Katherine got Silas levels of the Doppelganger draw and it fucked her up badly. She absolutely was obsessed with Stefan she loves him more than anything or anyone. Katherine's goal has been LOVE since she was a human. She was literally a shadow of an extremely tragic love story. AND YET- while being completely bound to him in ways not even she fucking understands she still found a way to be the baddest bitch of all. She didnt LOSE anything by loving Stefan so hard. She CHOSE to dedicate everything she had to being with him because SHE WANTED her happy ending. Katherine decided what she wanted and KATHERINE went after it.

It didn't take anything away from her character at all and neither do I.

Saying Katherine is less of a bad bitch because she wants to be with Stefan so bad she acts a little stupid sometimes is the same bullshit as saying house wives are less than career women. Katherine decided what she wanted and she went for it. Just because she decided she wanted a man and not world domination doesnt take ANYTHING away from her. She was NEVER extremely ambitious she ONLY wanted to be HAPPY and STEFAN MADE HER HAPPY.

Katherine's main personality trait is that she wants her happy ending, she wants to be loved the way she loves, she wants to be able to keep and enjoy that love, and she wants what she fucking wants when she wants it. Shes a driven highly capable woman and her choice of main focus being Stefan doesnt take any of that shit away from her. Shes a BAD ASS with or without Stefan, but SHE wants STEFAN.

It would be so out of character to just have her decide she doesn't care that much and fuck off to do... what? Shes not a world domination type. She only wants safety and love- so if she ditched Stefan she'd just go after another lover. Oh wait like Elijah. And when that didnt work out she went right back to Stefan. So really idk what your beef is here. Katherine has always been a character whos main trait was she wants love. Just turns out the love she wants is Stefan's.

She makes shitty choices sometimes that get her in hot water regarding Stefan but none of her autonomy is ever taken from her unless Klaus is involved because he literally compels her. Katherine does what Katherine wants at all times PERIOD. Idk what kind of new age feminism you're trying to force on Katherine as a character but her being all about love and just wanting her happy ending doesn't make her any less of a bad ass and personally I think it's kinda sad that you'd say that.

Katherine was the fox that out ran the hound for 500 years both WITH and WITHOUT Stefan. She continued to thwart his plans and be a general thorn in his side, she continued to be the badest bitch, and an absolute legend ALL WHILE pining after Stefan. Katherine wanted to be happy and she knew Stefan made her happy. It takes nothing from her to have her goal be a happy ending with a man. Sorry that leaves a bad taste in your mouth but I will continue to keep her true to character and her love for Stefan in every verse it's applicable in thank you.

#Answered #Anonymous #the one and only... sort of: ooc #might as well mark this as a damn PSA #I didnt even go into how Stefan is her FP and how that greatly effects her behavior too #anyway all i do is put her thoughts to words #I didn't change anything about her

TW: SA, ABUSE, and R^PE MENTION.

Holy shit-

PLEASE watch this video if you're ok with sensitive topics. Madeline Maye doesnt just go so well into the show's issues but also says what Stolas and Blitz's relationship actually is-

Which completely changed my view on Stolas and Blitz's relationship.

Stolas and Blitz is worse than I thought. As it has not just SA but full on r^pe (TW: The video actually has the word.) since Blitz feels that he "needs" to have sex with Stolas to keep his job rather than for it to be a choice, and Blitz only saying "ok" to the job in ep 5 not because he wants to be with Stolas but because he wants to be with Moxxie and Millie- people he actually likes and wants to consent with.

Not Stolas, the man who's r^ping him and using the fact that Blitz is lower class to do so. So all the merch and tweets calling this relationship "romantic" or "naturally developing" are bullshit.

No, this is not sex work. This is trafficking of a minority group by a classist. Not the same thing as sex work! Sex work is not r^pe!

Sex Trafficking (aka what Stolas has been doing to Blitz without actual consequences since Ep 1.) is r^pe! NOT SEX WORK!

Of course, this doesnt excuse his own r^pe of Stolas in Season Two's flashback, but it just goes to show just how irreasponsivly that Vivziepop and Brandon delt with the subject matter because people are making fun of the subject of male r^pe in the mainstream again!

So much civil rights progress- ruined! Because of two people.

Extra Criticism down below:

Also (so sad that the fans didnt censor this person's name, we all know that they did this to get them bullied. How rude....) the problem with the fandom is that they keep trying to twist our words to make it seem like were saying that there's "nothing sympathetic" about a HB character or that we're saying "mcs should always be a nice type character or ur a bad person for writing a meanie!" when in reality-

They're just twisting our words as a way to convince people that these characters "should" continue to be with the people they're horrifically ab^sing because "lol it's ok for them to stay with their victims they'll change it will be all wholesome again and then they'll live happily ever after as endgame!" to sugarcoat the fact that they like the way they are currently as they dont actually want them to change in the first place or that it's "ok" to portay these subject matters in this kind of direction. The "point" of Loona is to make abuse look like a "consequence" for Blitz's actions and not literal abuse and to make men being abused look like something to be seen as the "joke". The "point" is that she's from a writer who thinks that the character being abused is "karma." Which is a terrible way to present abuse, and let's face it, only enables abusers further by depicting what they're doing as a "punishment" by showing this kind of representation as a "good" thing.

Which is the main reason why this person made this post, besides the fact that like most people, are sick of all the sugarcoating.

Abuse is not a "punishment." It's to deliberaltey harm someone for self gratitification. Loona might have her "nice" points, but it doesnt make her any less ab^sive than Stella, or make it so she "deserves" to be around Blitz just because she is sometimes "nice. Stolas is a r^pist, and Loona is a abuser, and neither deserve to stay with their victims no matter how "uwu sad!" that they are.

End of Story.

some choice quotes from the subreddit which I peeked at since I'm nosy:

"They make videos for kids like “WE GOT ATTACKED BY A ANGRY GHOST” and have a hot babe in the thumbnail, wtf is going on, who tricked joe this bad"

"Bro literally I checked out their channel thinking it’s gonna be like paranormal activity, but it was more like the ghost hunters from South Park. “What was that!! There’s a wet fluid going down my pants”

'Damn, mad respect…. I made it 14 min. I’m assuming not one ghost was proven to exist throughout the entire episode. Someone please tell me I’m wrong."

"No, im 42min in and you hear about how they tried everything to get famous and settled on Ghost hunting because it was safe and not illegal so they wouldn't get in trouble like they did with the other stuff they tried. They didnt mention anything about having a 6th sense or experiencing paranormal stuff when they were young. Nope they found out they could get views doing this so they stuck with it. So yeah their whole thing is bullshit."

"They only farm kids for views, there is nothing special or good about it, you understand that it’s like 5-12 year olds that are watching this mindlessly right? They use sexuality and fear to get this kids hooked."

"Lmao, they're all grifters but I would take anyone over these tiktok e-boys. They could have had someone like Jack Osbourne, Josh Gates, Jason Hawes, Katrina Weidman, the Buzzfeed dudes- hell I'd take Zak Bagans. Those people would have more to say than just "we're popular because we're cute and 16 year old girls love us, please subscribe to our channel where we make the same scared face again and again".

I am picturing all of these coming from dudes sipping on Mountain Dew after doing 20 push-ups. tho some of them are being won over lmao. I almost feel a little bad for snc since now their fandom is mad at them and Joe rogan's is trashing on them. since when do Joe rogan fans get to feel superior.

THE GHOST HUNTERS FROM SOUTH PARK LMAO. What a topical and timely reference. 🤣

I'm sorry, this whole thing is killing me. These guys have their little asses so bent out of shape over this and it just makes me laugh so hard. I love when the dude-bros get all mad and yelly because a couple of not douchey boys who are extremely popular with the girls show up and take over their testerone fueled man time.

SNC really is getting pummeled from both ends today, but hey- what else is new lol. Half the snc fandom hate watches them at this point anyway, and who actually wants a bunch of Limp Bizkit wannabe internet trolls like these Rogan stans joining the snc fandom? This might be the best case scenario for them, lol.

This'll be the last time they ever do anything mainstream though, just you watch. 🤣

“The pleasure that he brings to your body feels like nothing that you had ever felt before. It feels intoxicating and freeing at the same time.”

jungkook deserved better than her. you shouldve made her end up with namjoon after writing an explicit scene like that 😑 just what everyone who wanted oc/jk together hoped for 😵‍💫 nothing she had ever felt before but you still made jk her second choice and made them end up together. he deserved better than her after a scene like that. literally wanted to throw up, why did you think it was a good idea to include a scene that long and detailed? it was more detailed compared to their sex scenes together too. its like some of you writers just want people to suffer because of your silly choices. whatever though. she shouldve ended up with namjoon after that bullshit. let me tell you, the chapters you wrote after didnt make up for anything. it makes no sense.

I already knew that I would be taking a huge risk with this story even while I was developing the plot of this series and figuring out its storyline, so I've already expected different opinions and reactions for the story from my readers.

As a writer, I know well enough that with an angst fic, we can't possibly please every single one of our readers with the path that we choose to end the story. That's why your response wasn't too surprising tbh, but perhaps I would have taken this message of yours more seriously and would take my time to properly explain and discuss my intentions if you haven't been so rude about it and if it wasn't so obvious that all you've done was read the story until chapter 5 without finishing it properly or even read the rest of the series to get to the point that was needed to solve the issues on chapter 5 before coming here to lash out on me.

If you had truly read the story, you would have understood that the "detail" within that scene was not written with the purpose of showing an intimate moment between the reader and Joon, but more to show the mating pull that they were fighting so hard against until it became too much for them that they came close to losing the battle. If you had read it properly, you would've come to the part where she finally managed to fight against it for knowing that it wasn't as real as what she had with Jungkook, nothing but a mirage that was created to bring them together, and you wouldn't have come here thinking that they actually slept together and insisting that they stay together over some illusion instead of real, genuine love, which is something that this story is trying to show you. If you had truly read the story properly, you couldn't have come here to tell me that I have written a more detailed intimate scene between them when it was really nothing compared to the lengthy multiple scenes between Jungkook and the reader that showed how their relationship grew throughout the series.

A little advice, next time when you come into an angst series that has a huge warning about a possible heartbreaking moment with characters that might be making some questionable choices to keep the story going, do come into it with an open mind and without hoping that your precious favourite character (of, in this case, a BTS member or any idol you are coming in here to see) wouldn't get hurt. I know what I wrote, I know my intentions with this story, and everything had been deliberately put together in order to create a story that invokes your emotions, not for the sake of making some silly choices as what you’ve made it seem to be. The only thing that doesn't make any sense here is the fact that you come fuming to a writer and hating a story that you barely finished reading and when you obviously ignored all the details and answers that were provided in every scene that you missed.

The Watcher Issue

Damn. Like I'm so happy for them and I DO feel like it's the right choice and I'm going to coordinate with family that also likes watcher to share an account since we have different schedules and would be watching at different times anyway.

But like. I feel so bad for everyone.

And I'm tired of being subscribed to a bunch of different bullshit.

And that's not in any way Their fault.

And they're getting the brunt of people's hate specifically because we're all tired of being subscribed to a bunch of different shit. Which is sort of out of their control.

They have to work in the industry that they're in.

They can't just join with Dropout. Watcher is their own business with their own leadership and mission.

It looks like they've had help specifically from Dropout to build it though, because it looks almost exactly the same as Dropout from the preview images. Which is great imo and means that it should work well.

I know Watcher has to do this if they want to keep producing with the staff they have at the level of quality that they have been. And unlike other services like Netflix and Hulu they give a shit about their content and their employees.

I just hope that once everyone is done reeling from the bad part of the news that things will even out and people will enjoy it like they do Dropout.

I mean hell like they said they aren't policing account sharing so like...

For those that can: They've given the Green Light to Team Up with 1 or 2 buddies and split the $60 yearly subscription into a $30 or $20 fee for each of you and just Share The Account. And that's what I plan to take advantage of honestly. They said it was ok.

Also as a tip: Dropout and other smaller streaming services will tell you not to use a temporary visa gift card for the subscription but there's literally no way for them to tell so like. That's how I signed up for Dropout for a few months last year. Fake name fake email fake credit card that was actually a Visa Gift Card bought at the grocery store so that when the Free Trial and the funds on the gift card ran out it wouldn't keep charging me (didnt quite have enough for a year just for like 4 months).

It just put the streaming account on pause when the payment declined. Take that advice with a grain of salt though. 🤷‍♀️

But also like I'm hoping there's someone working furiously to back up whatever is on youtube because we really shouldn't have okder content suddenly put behind a paywall.

Idk if they plan to do that but just in case.

Edit: They apparently clarified all old content will still be on Youtube which is great! I personally still have a backlog to watch through so I'm glad it won't disappear.

(Still though you can never be sure. I mean fr look at all my favorite Vocaloid reposts with English subs disappearing left and right and the quality of old favorites being run through the garbage disposal. Preserve what's important to you!)

Weddings, Family, and Bullshit

What is it about weddings that make people so crazy? My sister’s wedding was this past weekend, August 8th, and good god, it couldn’t be over soon enough. There are so many threads of B.S. that tie into the knot of that day, I don’t know where to start. Oh! How about that it only happened because I got engaged? No, really. She had been saying for ages before it that they were “married in the eyes of God, and anything more is a paper of man” (Obviously my sister is more than religious enough to make up for my lack of it.) She said they were going to save up for a nice wedding and they were in no rush. She said these things over and over, as recently as days before my engagement was announced. Not only that, my sister has always been very “I’m the oldest, I should be first!” To an incredibly irritating and delusional degree. So just a week after I was engaged, she announced her plan to have her wedding. God. Dammit. Because of this, our weddings were made to be a competition. With little over a year and a half for me to plan mine, and barely 6 months for hers, the family decided that her wedding was going to be a wreck and mine would be gorgeous. No pressure, right? But she just kept screwing herself over! She bought a 4 foot metal swimming pool, and literally HOURS later posted to facebook complaining about trying to afford her wedding. I wanted to be happy for my sister, but for a thousand reasons, I just couldn’t. She kept shooting herself in the foot only to butch and moan like it was someone else’s fault, the family kept comparing all our decisions, and she was such a smug, childish cunt I just wanted it to be over. Some maid of honor I am, huh? But I was only her maid of honor because she moved to a nasty little chicken farm town in GA, alienated her friends, and made a number of bad decisions that keep her broke and housebound. She had no one else and it was her own fault. Oh, and she was planning to milk me for every penny she could. Unfortunately for her, my stable job and working fiance pay our bills, and we do put our bills and responsibilities first, so there really wasn’t anything left for her. You know her church offered her a choice between a wedding shower and free catering for her wedding? Guess which she chose. Then she tried getting our father to do all the cooking and serving. I sound like a terrible person and sister, but I’m still mad. I held all this in, kept a smile on my face, and stayed supportive for her. I did everything I could do for her because in spite of all the crap, I love her and this was her big day. With her date literally 2 month in the year before my chosen date, October 8th, which I had announced before her, as well. All that aside, I sucked it up, put a smile on my face, made the trip to the most disgusting town in GA, and did my best to make sure she had a great day. And it turned out alright. I wouldn’t have chosen blue and orange for my colors, but Rosanna and I have always been incredible opposites.

Family. Oh, tumblr, will you ever hear the end of my family troubles? DRAFT END

Here’s my thoughts, several years later.  Rosanna is stuck in a holier than thou, victim mentality. I was so angry when I wrote the above post, because I was tired of the competition. It didnt stop after this, either. Years later, long after I went no contact with her, she scheduled her baby shower to be on my daughters birthday. She knew from family that that day was my daughters birthday, but she didnt care. Rosanna was the favorite. The golden child that got what she wanted. We were raised in constant competition with each other. She was the normal child that my parents could understand and support. I was the troubled child that liked weird things and they didnt understand. Thats a whole thing to write another day. 

Ive been no contact with my sister for years, and I dont regret it. She’s not a good person, she doesnt make healthy, responsible decisions, and she uses her christian god as a weapon and validation for her toxicity. “You dont need antidepressants, you need god.” was probably the final straw for me. Shes homophobic, ignorant, and so very self absorbed. She doesnt care that she hurts people. Im past being sad about the disconnect.  I dont know what else to write, so Im going to end this here.

im so f**king tired of everything

the self help shit on social media is bullshit if you cant even utilize that stuff in your day to day life. Im so done with staying at home and doing absolutely nothing. I'm use to making new friends every year but the friends that I made last year were truly bad for me so I cut them off but now I am alone. I havent spoken to anyone in so long and I am literally losing it. Even writing a post like this feels like shouting in silence but atleast I get to publicly yell about it (stepping outside of my door and trying to yell will just get people to make weird looks at me).

My friend said one of the worst things you can do is introducing your friend group to a different friend group. I don't know how legitimately the friend who told me this was since I only met him online. I dont know if I am currently living in a day and age where making online friends should be normal but to me it is not. Anyways i heard him out cause he seemed like he was speaking with experience and expertise regarding this topic and he said that.... well honestly I dont remember what he said. I dont think he elaborated anymore on that but my imagination and overthinking skills kicked in to try to figure out why mixing friend groups would be so shit.

So, I looked at my specific circumstances. One friend group was this group of friends I met online during the covid online schooling year. Some of the guys I met from one of my classes introduced me to their old neighborhood friends a few months after and I started talking more and more to them. With the online

Explaining all of that was important because that is why I am alone today. Does a part of this state of being "alone" come with loneliness, yes, but I would like to thing that this is something that I am familiar with and something I just havent seen in a while. What the problem is is that I am feeling the most experimental and rebellious right now and I can't do anything about it. Yes I have been known to be kinda extroverted and loud, possibly even confident online when talking to random people, but whether that was a product of the lack of consequences of my actions and possibly tying the words I was saying to me as a person, its very possible and possibly true. I want to run and I want to fall. I want to do the things that I feel like I have been training my whole life to do and have mentally trained myself for to "slay". I dont even care if I have a childhood or teenagehood, me running will always be my teenagehood.

But again, I feel trapped. At this point its a waiting game where I just have to sit and suffer. Then, you might be asking, what is the point of sitting down and writing your complaints if they are going to go away soon? Its the fact that I have to sit and suffer through the wait in the first place. I have waited for many things in my life. Results to exams which I had studied for, results to exams which I hadn't studied for, the consequences to my mistakes whether it could've been fixed by eraser or by having better friends that I didnt feel peer pressured by. I have waited for so many things that were to be revealed in the next following hours or things that were in the distance future. But right now is the first time that I had felt like I was wasting my own time. My own time anxiety was compounded with the fact that my suffering was not just me learning to experience a different emotion for the sake of getting out of my comfort zone. My suffering was the bad choice that was presented to me when the good choice was also there right along. It was this summer when I started to feel like my life was truly in the my own hands and I could make something of it myself, and yet I was still stuck at home.

This could be a blessing. As much as I love being organized, maybe I was not to be trusted. Instead allowing myself to learn like how I wanted to, learning about life would cause there to be irreversable problems to my perfect suburban life. Really I had many things that the other kids had but I just wanted to do something on my own.

I would like to say that all of this is just in my head but in the same way that I feel the need to be shouting this in an online post and making a mark in physical space, this has been taking a physical toll on my body. I havent been able to eat properly and some days sleep properly in the past few days and plates of dinner I had tried to convince myself I would finish are laying in the room next to mine because they have officially started to smell. When your brain can't find a way to directly fight the thing it hates, it compensates by ruining something else that was doing fine in your life. I wish I could say that I am going to try to eat better by whats the point of fixing something if nothing is gonna change anyways?

**

this post is incomplete and shares the surface level of the thoughts that linger through my mind during this year's summer months. I will be doing my best to finish the thoughts that I have started in the near future

I don’t know about this Oliver guy or what his issues are but there is no denying Sam knows about why these other men he idolizes are controversial unless he’s really living under a rock which he is not. He watches Fox news and admired the worst type of guys full of machismo and extreme ideologies. While i like the content he puts out with Colby and he seems kind enough, i would not be surprised if suddenly he says he agrees with Alex Jones. We already saw how he felt about blm and only changed his view once caught. Personally that is why i feel so disconnected to him. Sure you can’t know whats going on in the world at all times but surely you’re not dumb enough to constantly fall under the trap of ‘i didnt know they were a bad person’ after following and praising so many of them time and time again.

i want to preface all of this by saying that if you don't like sam, i don't judge and totally understand why you would feel that way. same thing with colby. if you don't like some of the things they've done over the years, i get it. this isn't me trying to persuade you to think differently, this is just me voicing how i feel.

now that i got that out of the way…

the oliver tree guy, tbh myself, i didn't even know he existed until sam talked about him the one or two times he did. and while i know who melanie martinez is, i don't listen to her so i literally know nothing about her. so, like i said in the other asks, he probably doesn't know what that guy has done, and especially so if he doesn't listen to melanie either.

and realistically, not everyone is gonna look into every artists they listen to. some will, that's for sure./ but i know for a fact there are artists i listen to that i don't know anything about, but i still love their music. so i feel like sam just falls into that same category.

as for his other questionable taste, i think we might have to agree to disagree to some extent.

i think sam looks up to billionaires bc he wants to be one to some extent. he believes in the american dream of capitalism lol he's a businessman himself, after all. and i think he follows ppl like elon or bezos bc of the amount of money they've made over their lifetimes. he sees that success and wants that part of their life.

granted if he looked into either one of them for like half of second he would realize it's all bullshit and mostly came from either their parents or just straight up using and abusing ppl. but i digress.

that whole side to him, i agree, is annoying. and while i do love him, i think wholeheartedly he's a capitalist. he definitely seems like the type to be socially liberal but fiscally conservative. and that is just not where i fall on the specturm personally, so of course i hate that he likes billionaires. but the thing with sam is that he seems to be the type to separate ppl from their controversies and their successes. and while i think sometimes that can be a good thing, i don't think that's the way to go most times.

sometimes bad ppl make good financial choices. doesn't mean you gotta look up to them tho.

we're talking about the same guy that said in a podcast about the paul brothers "whether you like them or not, they know how to make money" and sure, yeah. i guess you're right. but why not just pick someone else that also knows how to make money without showing a dead body to millions of ppl? just a thought.

which is why i think he's a devil advocate type of person. i think he toes the line of seeing what the other ppl are saying, not because he agrees, but because he wants to know what they're saying and thinking. he would be a great philosophy professor or something like that lol bc every single one i had would argue against what we were saying, even if they agreed with us.

and i get to some degree why he does this. to beat the other side, you kinda have to understand them on a fundamental level. that being said, sam is a nice person. he seems compassionate, loving, and kind. so i highly doubt he subscribes to the same ideologies that someone like alex jones spouts. alex jones is a raging conspiracy theorist, and the jump from sam having questionable taste in musical artists to going full blown q-anon doesn't seem likely to me.

i think sam has a good head on his shoulders. i think he's definitely made some fuck ups in his life, but he still has empath for ppl, even if he's a little short-sighted or self-absorbed sometimes. and that alone will keep him from crossing over to the dark side, so to speak.

but again, if you don't agree with me, totally fine. not gonna argue with you if you feel differently.

Idk why i'm telling you this but it's about @girlpl6net .So she ALWAYSSS acts like her bf is in bts...like when you tell her is your bf in idk txt or straykidz she straight up said no but never gave a valid answere about bts ...She answered a question in which she said she just had dinner with his bf in south korea ...I got in her inbox and said SOOO bts are not in korea...then...your bf is not in bts ....AND SHE DELETED THE POST WERE SHE SAID SHE HAD RAMEN WITH HER BF IN SOUTH KOREA AND DIDNT ASNWERE MY QUESTION ...I SWEAR SHE'S LYING ABOUT HER KOREAN IDOL BF AND NOW I'M QUESTIONING THE WHOLE LOA 😭😭

Ok wow. ⚠️THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG RESPONSE⚠️

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ PLEASE READ ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

First things first: YES I WELCOME ALL AND ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS AND/OR CORNERS. BUT PLEASE I ASK YOU GUYS NOT TO MENTION OR BRING UP ANY OTHER LOA BLOGGERS AND THEIR LIVES, ETC. THIS IS NOT A DRAMA BLOG NOR DO I HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS THE BUSINESS OF OTHERS HERE. I DON’T PART TAKE IN GOSSIP‼️‼️‼️ THIS BLOG IS SOLEY FOR THE PURPOSES OF HELPING MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS WITH MANIFESTING JOURNEYS. I DO NOT FOLLOW THE ABOVE BLOG MENTION SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SECNARIO IS ABOUT. SO I WILL NOT BE COMMENTING ON THAT. I WILL NOT BE GETTING INVOLVED WITH DRAMA. I WILL NOT BE SPEAKING ABOUT THE MANIFESTING JOURNEYS OF OTHERS. AS I AM NOT THEM I CAN ONLY GIVE POINTS OF VIEW FROM MY OWN PERSPECTIVE. ‼️‼️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

With that being said I’ll only be addressing this anon’s issue about questioning whether the law is real or not. As always I will tell you DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH - DO NOT JUST COME ON TUMBLR AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE LOA IS AND TAKE THE WORD OF OTHER PEOPLE AS FACTS. GO TO THE MAN HIMSELF - NEVILLE GODDARD. You can find his lectures on YouTube (if requested I will make a post with the ones I’ve watched so far so others can hear it straight from the horses mouth), you can google him, you can get his books, you can look up quotes. They’re no excuses as to why you can’t go and see what he says for yourselves. Personally I found out about Neville 2 years ago and just like many people I had no idea what he was talking about my first thought was oh this is just some other religious nut case (because the lectures I watched he had a lot of references to the Bible and I’m not a religious person) but then when I decided to actually listen and pay attention to what he is saying things started to make sense for me. I’ve applied the law and it has personally worked for me, and as God of my reality I can only do what works for me. Using the law I was able to manifest getting a tattoo, I’ve manifested money, my kyphosis (look up if you don’t know what this is but it’s basically hunch back - has drastically improved), I’ve lost weight without exercising because I’m a lazy bitch🤣. So I know for me the LAW WORKS. I can only tell you based on my own personal experience it works. In the lecturers I’ve listened to Neville will tell you “test it”, “go on try it for yourself” you literally have nothing to loose but everything to gain so just try it. The Law of Assumption is basically believing that you have whatever it is that you deserve now even though your senses deny it. All it requires you to do (in my opinion - DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH) is just believe and have faith that whatever it is that you want is here it will show up. I know that for a fact because I have a whole tattoo on my wrist it showed up lol. I made a post about it but I’ll attach a picture so you can see I have my PROOF THAT IT WORKS - it’s not bullshit it works.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOUR BELIEFS - IF YOU THINK THE LOA DOESN’T WORK OR IT JUST A HOAX OR WHATEVER IT WONT WORK. (See my pinned post about beliefs, faith and methods). This will happen because you’ve conditioned your mind to think it won’t work and your mind it that powerful and has no choice but to operate from the thoughts you’ve feed it (again my opinion right here). CHANGE THAT MINDSET- WORK ON YOUR SELF CONCEPT. And if you’re manifesting something and it hasn’t shown up in the 3D yet (KEY WORD HERE BEING YET) it doesn’t mean that you’re not going to get it!

➡️ See my post here for more info on that. For a quick note just look at this quote here:

“Oɴᴄᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴛʜɪs sᴇᴇᴅ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴜᴘʀᴏᴏᴛ ɪᴛ ʙʏ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴀɴxɪᴏᴜs ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʜᴏᴡ ɪᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴀᴄᴄᴏᴍᴘʟɪsʜᴇᴅ. Eᴀᴄʜ sᴇᴇᴅ ʜᴀs ɪᴛs ᴏᴡɴ ᴀᴘᴘᴏɪɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴛɪᴍᴇ. Sᴏᴍᴇ sᴇᴇᴅs ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ᴀ ғᴇᴡ ᴅᴀʏs; ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs ᴀ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ. Fᴇᴇʟ ᴄᴏɴғɪᴅᴇɴᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.” – Nᴇᴠɪʟʟᴇ Gᴏᴅᴅᴀʀᴅ

This is one of my favorite quotes by Neville as it gives me so much hope and confidence within myself that it will come! I normally like to keep what I’m manifesting privately but I’m order to show you have strong my beliefs and faith is in myself as God and the loa, I’ll tell you this. I am currently in the process of manifesting moving to another country, I’m yet to see this materialize in the 3D as yet but thanks to this quote (every now and again I’ll turn to it when I’m feeling down or unmotivated for a little hope) as well as everyday I’d say to myself out loud or in my mind “I am now living in my desired country legally right now” and then I go on with my day because I have faith in myself as god I know that the 3D has to conform - every seed has its appointed time! I say that affirmation especially when I’m not in the feeling of the wishful filled because I refuse to give up. I’ve manifested before and I know I can do it again. They are no big or small desires all desires are equal so I know it’s only a matter of time before my desire is materialized into the 3D.

Final point: I can say all this and more, you can read success stories, you can even hear it From Neville himself but if you personally don’t believe it, it won’t work. As for success stories it’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not. I would say to use success stories as inspiration that the law works. Nothing is impossible. When you start to question and doubt in my opinion it’s like your questioning and doubting yourself and your abilities. Believe in yourself, that whatever it is that you want you can and already have it. As God you are limitless nothing stops you from getting what it is you want unless you decide that you’re going to allow something to stop you from.

DO NOT LET ANOTHER PERSON INFULENCE YOUR BELIEFS LIKE THAT AND CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT THE LOA AND ESPECIALLY YOURSELF LIFE THAT! BECAUSE YOU’RE ALLOWING SOMEONE ELSE’S STORY/PERSONAL EXPERIENCE/ETC TO GET YOU WORKED UP YOU ARE GIVING AWAY YOUR POWER TO EXTERNAL AN SOURCE OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF! THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BUT YOU WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR REALITY, SO YOU SHOULD NOT LET SOMEONE INFLUENCE YOU LIKE THAT AND THIS IS WHY DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT‼️ DO NOT COME ON TUMBLR AND/OR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA AND LET NO ONE DICTATE ANYTHING TO YOU‼️‼️

I can't belive that fandom belives that Bakugou suffered in his life because he had a "quirk villian". When in all the manga besides his kidnap someone said or though that Bakugou's quirk was a villian one because if when you read the manga all kids and adults around him are praising him for his skills and quirk. Bakugou was a jerk because he wanted, he chose making Izuku's life miserable because he enjoyed it and they still have the face to tell that he was a little baby that do anything wrong.

Just an other day of bakugou stans coming up with stupid shit, to justify his shitty and abusive behavior. Sometimes Im really not sure if we read the same fucking manga then them?! Bakugous quirk is NOT an villain quirk?!?! The way he BEHAVES and he USES his quirk is villainous, that was THE WHOLE POINT why the lov got interested in him and wanted him to join them! Bakugou didnt say no because it was the morally right choice, but because he sees villains as losers and heros as winners! Would it be the other way around and their world had been dominated by villains people would worship, you can bet bakugou had turned into a villain, because for him its about which side is the winner side! Its not about what is right and what is wrong - its about winning! Thats the reason he hated and feared izuku so much, because izuku makes a WAY better hero then himself and he knows it! He explained himself, that izuku was scaring him shitless, because he cant believe a person can be so nice and heroic!

Hori confirmed that bakugou had a great childhood and was spoiled rotten by his parents and the people around him! He never missed anything in his life. He was neither abused by his mother nor was he shuned out by society for having a villain quirk! Like what kind of brain gymnastics need his stans to do, to come up with such bullshit?! Hori pointed out since the start that bakugou was literally worshipped since kindergarten by other people because of his quirk! Since the day he got his quirk people told him he will make a great hero - not because of his (lacking) heroic personality, but his QUIRK! HOW can readers come to the conclusion that bakugou suffered because of his villain quirk??? Seriously bakugou stans told me so often I need to learn how to read - maybe they should look in the mirror first, before accussing someone else?!?!

The whole point of my hero academia is to show a society that is obssessed with quirks and the more flashy your quirk is, the more you have the chance of winning an high social status. Hori pointed out OVER AND OVER again that something like “villain-quirks“ dont exist! Its not the quirk that makes you a villain, but the way you USE it! Peoples actions turn them into villains, not the quirk itself! By that logic ofa is a villain quirk because all might and izuku could destdoy WHOLE citys with it! No quirk in bnha is villainous! Not shinsos brainwashing, not togas blood sucking, not tomuras decay, not even afo itself - the quirk of the most dangerous supervillain on the planet! The thing that matters is HOW people use it - for good or for evil! Jeez, izuku was one of the first people who pointed that out!

So to make a short conclusion, bakugous quirk is not and NEVER was considered a villain quirk by others! He was WORSHIPPED for it!!! The problem is the way he is using it - because he is ready to HURT other people with it! A fucking EXPLOSION quirk!!!

Tony Stark-antis need to learn some chill and basic narrative comprehension skills. Like really? Again with this bullshit?

Dude, we are ONE episode into Falcon and the Winter Solider and people are already using it as an excuse to resurrect anti-Tony Stark bad takes. Like... WTF fandom? Do we really have to go through this with every single post-Endgame mcu project? Really? When are ya all gonna learn some comprehension skills and actually pick up on what the narrative is trying to say?

Say it with me: the bank loan scene was a not-very-subtle jab at systemic racism and the way black veterans have been treated in American for decades. It’s not an excuse to anti on about how “tOnY sTaRk DiDnT pAy ThE aVeNgErS CuZ hE’s A eVIL bILLIonAiRe!”

Are you all so afraid of talking about systemic racism that you have to blame Tony Stark for Sam not getting a bank loan? Really? After a year of BLM protests and extensive awareness-raising for systemic racism, and y’all still don’t get it?

That’s the real world issue that the narrative was trying to lay out, and it’s the in-universe explanation for that scene, which is trying to address out-of-universe real-world issues. But now let me be petty and go back to the in-universe issues of whether Sam got paid... because this whole take is just pissing me off and I have to rant. So...

Sam hasn’t had a paying job in seven years, and he chose to leave the Avengers when he defied the Sokovia Accords because he blindly follows everything Cap says without ever thinking for himself. He’s been badly written ever since he showed up at the end of Age of Ultron. And that bad writing means he’s just been playing as Cap’s lackey, and in doing so, he CHOSE to leave the Avengers, to reject a government paycheck, and take his chances on the run for two years as a fugitive. So yeah. Two years, no job, no pay. And as far as we can tell, he didn’t do a whole lot of awesome saving-the-world in those two years either. He was just hiding out with Cap and maybe punching a couple of low-level terrorists or something .There certainly weren’t any alien invasions that he stopped in that time. And after that, he was dust for five years. That’s not his fault, obviously, but no one can expect to collect a paycheck while they don’t exist. That’s why the post-Blip economy is probably a bit wonky at the moment. So in total... seven years. No job. No paycheck. Part of that is consequences of Sam’s actions and part of it was through no fault of his own. But yeah, after seven years with no paycheck, there’s a good chance he’s got money issues. Did banks seize assets of those who were blipped? Totally possible.

But now, in-universe, let’s remember that all this bullshit that antis are spewing about “Tony Stark should have set aside money for his friends and teammates” and “Sam saved the world from aliens so many times, so he deserves a pension” and “Tony could set up a trust fund for all of the avengers because they’re his friends!” Yeah. That’s all 100% BS.

First off, Sam Wilson and Tony Stark are not friends in the MCU. Never have been. In Civil War, Tony said, “I know we don’t know each other very well” because they don’t! They’ve NEVER FOUGHT TOGETHER ON THE SAME TEAM! Think about that. Tony wasn’t an active duty avenger between Age of Ultron and Civil War, and that’s the only time period where Sam was an active avenger. So they were never really “teammates” and they weren't friends. They were, at best, acquaintances or coworkers who never worked closely together.

And during that time, when Tony appears to have had little contact with the avengers, he was bankrolling the team. He says, “what, am I doing here? Running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?” He made the compound and supplied all of the avengers’ tech. He gave them free room and board. It sure looks like they had everything they needed, so it’s entirely possible (even likely) that Tony was paying the Avengers during this time. But that’s all it was. Two years when Sam was an active avenger, Tony wasn’t, but Tony was still bankrolling the team. After that... Sam was a fugitive and then he was dust. So he spent 7 years with no job, and two of those years were by choice, because of Sam’s rejection of being an avenger and refusal to accept a government paycheck. He chose to be a vigilante with Cap, and vigilantism doesn’t supply a paycheck on its own.

And finally... Sam has never saved the world! And he’s only fought aliens during Infinity War and Endgame. So where are people getting this whole, “but Sam should be paid because hE sAvEd tHe wOrLd!”? Uh, no. Not really. He helped in Endgame. He tried to help in Infinity War. And that’s good. That’s important. It’s not nothing. But it’s also not saving the world. In this first episode of TFATWS, Sam literally accepted thanks from a guy who said “you brought my wife back,” when Sam had nothing to do with that. Bruce snapped and brought back all the dusted. Sam had no role in helping for that. Now I get that Sam was probably just being polite. But it’s contributing to this narrative that Sam did more then he actually did. Naw, man. Marvel never cared about Sam Wilson until five minutes ago. So they’ve never actually shown him doing anything that was, well, important. And that’s a fail on Marvel, but if we’re looking at it from a purely in-universe perspective... Sam Wilson doesn’t deserve any more or less than any other government/military contractor. Because that’s what he is now (he’s not an Avengers because the Avengers no longer exist), and that’s what he was up until the last scene of Age of Ultron. Most of his existence, he’s been a solider. He’s a military guy. So if he’s not been getting paid, that’s on the military. Tony, at most, would have paid him for two years of his time and work. The rest is all on the military, including Sam’s current finances.

Which means, you want to blame someone for Sam’s finances and his inability to get a loan? Well, there are three reasons. 1. Sam chose to leave the Avengers to become a fugitive with Cap, which means he had no job and no paycheck for two years. That’s the consequences of his actions. 2. the military either stopped paying him at some point, or hasn’t been paying him enough/quick enough in the past six months since the Blip. Military pay for veterans and veterans’ access to benefits is a real problem, but it’s a military problem. And it’s possible that any back-pay or pension that Sam is owed is tied up in red tape, which is probably only exacerbated by his time as a fugitive (which might mean he was made ineligible for any pension). And finally 3. systemic racism. His sister was pretty clear on the fact that “people like us” are the ones who always seems to be denied loans. She was saying that there is money available for loans, but it always go to white folks first. Maybe try listening to the black character explain why they believe they aren’t getting paid. Sam (when not on the run or blipped) was living a pretty cushy life as a supporting avenger for two years. He apparently didn’t have to think about how systemic racism could affect his family because he was temporarily insulated from it. Now that layer of protection is gone because he’s not living in a cushy compound away from the real world (which, for the record, is probably a good thing. I think the Avengers being so isolated from the real world is probably partially what led to the problems in Civil War). So now Sam is going to be confronted with the reality that systemic racism is real and can affect anybody, regardless of your fame or your job. And after the past year of discussions on race, the fandom shouldn’t be surprised by this narrative.

I am so sick of every single MCU project post-Endgame being twisted by antis who just want to use it to hate Tony Stark. I mean, seriously. Give it a rest, people! Try reading the narrative the way it was intended and stop twisting it for your hate-Tony-Stark obsession.
