Jesus fucking christ what the actual fuck is happening. Like... to be clear, I'm not mad at the people who are calling out *that user*, the shit they said about Finn was absolutely disgusting and I'm really, really glad people are actually pointing it out so I know who to block and avoid. But jesus christ, like... you think it would be easy to just... not sexualize minors, right? And not be a creep? Like it honestly pisses me off that we have to have these conversations in the first place, because this isn't something that people should be doing and it isn't something that actual kids should have to be worried about, period. Byler tumblr is normally such a safe and awesome space, and then something like this happens and it feels like a slap in the face. And I'm really, really glad that people are handling it, and that our community's decent enough that nobody is just letting this shit slide, but like... ugh. Why does this have to happen? Maybe I just need to lie down, but seriously, do not come into our community, sexualize young actors, and then just expect us to not even care for some ungodly reason. It's not okay, no one believes it is, so don't expect that we're just... fine with you being predatory. End of the fucking discussion.

heyy mads so actually i need more of your thoughts on amy/laurie and why you don’t understand people defending them…. i remember being kind of baffled by them when i read the book as a young teen so please <3 be a hater <3
hiii laura oh my god i will (gladly) be a hater it comes sooo naturally to me and we all rlly gotta be biting our tongues on here daily, don't we :-/
(pls ... if you are a passionate amy/laurie fan .. just close your eyes and keep scrolling babes i love you sooo much this post cannot hurt you i promise !!!)
OKAY. so i feel like the whole amy/laurie vs jo/laurie debate has been widely discussed (both on The Internet and in my household lol) but for me it's less that i think he should've ended up w jo and more that i think acting like a/l truly love each other and totally definitely make sense is so stupid. it's soooo stupid laura i am rolling my eyes!! can you see me!!!
and the reason i think this! is because, essentially, Alcott uses the four sisters to like ... represent the few limited life paths that were avail to non-wealthy american women in the 19th century, right?
like meg marries the man who is able (if only just) to provide her a stable home. beth pursues her music (piano? if im remembering right) and is content to live her life at home, with her family. amy wants to (and eventually does) marry a wealthy, cultured man of ~Society who can give her a life above the one she was born into.
jo is the wildcard, ofc. the one who goes off-script for the normal young woman, and ofc who alcott views as a reflection of herself. we know that alcott wanted jo to remain unmarried and was strong-armed by publishers to put her w someone, but if she knew she'd have to, then my only explanation for it to not be laurie was to spite the predictable narrative and spite the readers lol.
the guy jo does end up w is so random and just .. makes no sense. if you're making sense of it, you are having to reach so far up your ass to do so! sorry to be crass!!! (rlly leaning into my hater-moment oops)
anyway - the way this connects to amy and laurie is this:
i do not believe (and i'm sure we are not meant to believe) that meg married for love. beth (</3) did not marry ofc. and it's impossible to believe jo married for love if the author intended her to be unmarried. that storyline doesn't exist to me now.
and amy is the sister that is represented as a bit vain; a bit entitled and spoiled in the way youngest children are allowed to be. from the start, it's clear she plans to marry for wealth. even if we're taking from gerwig's adaptation instead of solely the book, then amy still isn't really represented as particularly romantic (the whole 'i'm not a poet' scene) (also tbf it's been awhile since i read the book, but imo she romanticizes her life, yes, but not love itself).
LAURIE is the romantic, the most so, out of all the characters. i genuinely feel like this is the ONLY reason ppl latch onto amy/laurie and try so hard to rationalize it .. bc they can't bear to think of laurie in a marriage that was w his next-best-option rather than True Love (sorry.. by no means a dig at amy...but cmon guys ..)
because i also feel like the only thing laurie really wanted even more than to spend his life w jo, is to be apart of the march family. it was always clear he wanted that, just as it was always clear he loved jo from day 1! and so the only conclusion i was ever able to come from all this is that he loved jo for being jo and he loved amy for being a march sister.
ah god sorry this is SO anysmally long i am SO SO sorry laura dear!! so grateful to you for this opportunity to hate on them (read: cringe & take the romance out of) them as a couple!!! but there is simply no scenario where i can imagine knowing a boy has loved my sister his entire life and then MARRY him after ?? bc she rejected him ??!!! esp knowing amy and jo's history of shared drama. esp bc the entire story is one of sisterhood!
like bro that girl (amy) has mentally been your sister-in-law for a decade ... and now we're saying we LOVE her? puke vom i hate it it makes me cringe and twitchy and yuck. its so weird ppl !!!! so weird.

hi friends, from whatever time it is where you are <3
i just wanted to say really quickly that i am sorry if all of my ask memes are coming out a little slow; to be honest, it's because i spend a lot of time on the answers to make sure they are thorough / put a lot of thought / heart / soul into them, which often results in them being...very long...so posting them takes me a second.
i also apologize if you've been waiting on an ask meme for a long time ( and i do mean long, like multiple months ) i promise that i see it and am stoked on it, i just get rlly distracted by the asks at the top of my box ( me actin all surprised when they diagnose me w/ adhd )
bc theyre so shiny/relevant to the content i am posting usually ( ie. something that has to do with a drabble i recently posted that needs clarification ). i also...x2 have over 90 of them in my box ( some of them are asks i answered but didn't post / repeats...anyways, )
that is not to say that you should not send me asks because i love them and i will answer them even if i have 200, but due to the volume of them, my lack of time, my poor fingers and how much ( lowkey criminally insane ) effort i put into them, posting them is slow goings.
( i also love them so much, i srsly do not care that there is a fuck ton of them, getting them is like christmas to me, i mean that lmao when i wake up in the morning and see them in my box i am STOOOKED )
however, i know you have all told me multiple times you are willing to wait for my content and enjoy it ( tho my brain tells me otherwise ) so thank you for that and know i will get back to all your ask memes as quickly as i can. again, i just take my answers very seriously because i feel very seriously abt responding solidly to all of you. <3

top5 svt moments (funny and in general)
anon hi for the love of god HELLO i know you sent this ask a year ago and im not sure you will ever see this but im finally answering it 😭😭😭
5 - when, in their first one fine day, hannie tricked hao into thinking abalone was what you used as currency in a store 😭 hao believed him and tried to buy something with it and the store clerk was so confused…hannie was so wrong for doing that to him!! like hao hadnt been feeling well for a couple days before that, if i remember correctly 😭
4 - the chicken vs. egg discussion. literally i am ALWAYS thinking abt it. hoshi really said gay chicken rights <3
3 - theres a moment in their second one fine day where hoshi is losing his mind bc he needed to switch teams (for some rough context he and wonwoo had been like '''feuding''' or something and hoshi wanted to get back at him, but in order to do that they needed to stay on the same team or something) and then wonwoo, mid-hoshi freaking out, goes 'hoshi-ya finger guns', and hoshi, not missing a BEAT does the finger guns back and i swear to god…i lose my mind every time 😭😭😭 theyre so stupid but i cried laughing the first time i watched it omg….
2 - their 5th anniversary special where they pretended to be one another…kills me everytime!!!!!!!
1 - their first win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wasnt a fan then but ive seen he footage of it and yeah…makes me feel emotional every time i wont lie :') like they had so much stacked against them (13 members coming from the basement of a near bankrupt company doing most of the stuff themselves??? thats near destined to fail) but they went on and did so well and look at them now!!! one of the most popular groups around with an amazing discography, an endless line up of activities, and theyre a group of best friends like…what more could anyone ask for, really
