a good friend made these horrid beasts in WWE something-or-other and i went fully fucking bananas drawing and writing about them. theres a whole AU and associated erotica under the cut. See ya

im thinking about how fucking butthurt gordon would be at having to be a heel and he sees benrey just fucking eating up all the attention and everybody booing at him and hes leaning into it so hard and gordon gets blisteringly fucking irritable about it. theyre both heels but gordons just mad that benreys better at it than him

goes out there in his bullshit baby slut wrestling outfit and hes already feeling like the world biggest and most embarrassed idiot and then he has to deal with everybody booing him and putting up their fucking signs saying how much he sucks and theyve all got really funny jokes on them

i want gordon to have a very small but dedicated group of fans that only like him b/c he looks like hes gonna cry every time he hits the ring.....but he doesnt know that they like him b/c hes pathetic. so he gets genuinely heartened to see the one sign in the crowd telling him that he rules

but..........i think he can turn it all around.........if he gets into tag team wrestling. or, more specifically, gets suckered into being teamed up with the one guy he really cannot fucking stand b/c hes got a fuckin contract to fulfill and he cant really be choose-y as the New Guy. i just think it would make sense! as a gimmick!! producers leaning hard into gordons perceived bitch status and pairing him up with his polar opposite in the ring!!! like being suckered into being the straight man of a comedy duo except a lot more personally embarrassing!!!!

what if he didnt even have to wear that obscene baby slut outfit until they got teamed up with each other and they wanted him to match benreys. b/c they literally fucking match in this godawful WWE game. and the one he picked out for himself was equally humiliating but in a wildly different fashion

like. what if he wanted his gimmick to be "science guy.......with a twist" and so he shows up in a lab coat with the sleeves ripped off and also for some reason he decided to wear a fucking hat like the guy from jamiroquai

anyway . i just think. it would be cool.......if benrey......taught him how to lean into being an asshole for the drama of it by just continuing to do his own thing and shoving gordon into the spotlight with him. it feels less fuckin personal when its two of them thatre being booed! and benreys heel persona - aggressively flirty and campy and leaning very hard into the stereotype of the flaming homosexual - is so much different from his like......flat affect, dead-eyed look and bored tone in "real life" that gordon starts figuring out that theyre not really booing him, theyre booing a character

and gordon starts figuring out how to get cocky! and he starts eating that shit up and getting into the role! he starts to feel the fuckin high of performing with somebody in a super physical environment and it finally just Clicks for him and their chemistry goes off the charts and the crowd is so hyped up and engaged b/c of him, b/c of them

i just think its fucking cool. okay. wrestling is intensely physical and involves a lot more one-on-one contact than most other sports. hot, sweaty and thick gordon with his arms wrapped around benreys throat and wrestling him to the ground......benrey slipping out of his grip and reversing it and forcing him to his stomach, sitting on his back with a bicep wrapped around his throat, waiting for gordon to submit.......its dope! whats fuckign wrong with that!!!

and its, yknow, its really fucking cool when theyre bending each others legs back too. like in that one screenshot. the stretch and burn of the muscle.....benrey pushing just a little too far and smirking down at him just to see how gordon will react......the feeling of being bent like that and exposed by a guy hes been having wayyy too many weird feelings about lately......gordon probably never jerks off so fucking good as he does immediately after a match with benrey, riding the endorphin high of a good performance and a good workout

think about it! all the intimate touching meant to be aggressive.....yelling at him while in kayfabe. grappling and throwing him. touching and being touched. ACCIDENTAL RING BONERS. just.....all that sexual tension coming to a head after months of working together and of benreys glances in the locker room getting more and more blatant. months of benrey blandly commenting on his form while twisting his arm back or hooking an arm under his thigh to bend it up to his chest

sometimes its so intense that gordon swears theyre going to fuck right there in the ring in front of god and everyone. them breaking kayfabe in ring and nobody realizing it.....basically flirting and aggressively bantering and having a good time and they know they personally are going off script but they dont know if the other is. and theyre both showing their horny ass in public in front of thousands of spectators

and then on the eve of the best performance theyve ever had, gordons feeling incredible. a little fucking bounce to his step. and benreys trying really fucking hard to sound nonchalant when he tells gordon he did good out there, but its not easy for him, either......hes got to spend all this time with a guy thats thicker than molasses and a whole head taller than him and whos frequently wrapping his thighs around benreys head for the sake of the sport. who he swears is down to fuck but wont ever make a move in return

and.....maybe its the first time benreys ever said such an earnest compliment to him. maybe it goes right to gordons head, makes him flush and prickle all the way to his ears. and they hit the showers but gordon cant get it out of his head. keeps glancing over to benrey across the way, letting himself look for once. letting himself really think about it

and then he gets rimmed and fucked in the locker rooms i dont know. this is the part where i chicken out every time nowadays. Tried My Best

anyway heres gordon freeman getting fucked in the locker room

ThaNks for read

Possibly unpopular opinion head canon thoughts? But I wanna ramble right now as I’m avoiding a thing. Got long under cut, you know the usual.

Galo is bisexual, biromantic, non-binary.

Lio is greyaro, homosexual, non-binary transman.

They just call themselves gay outta convenience.

Galo is pro skirts but only the really loose and flowy ones and they gotta be slightly past the knee so they don’t tickle their leg hair and give a bother sensation. (If you ever felt that it feels bad imo) Lio is anti dresses and skirts and if he’s too warm he’ll just wear the most torn up jeans, with massive holes that he mine as well not be wearing any jeans. Lio does shave his legs cause then he can throw his legs into Galos face and be like ‘FEEL SMOOTH’ and then rub his own legs all day.

Lio walks around topless at home since he cannot do so outside as a pre-op boy. He doesn’t bind unless he’s dressing up in his frills. He does enjoy his punk clothes with leather but his go to night out for fun shirt is a frilly button down with lace princess sleeves. He 100% wiggles and flaps his arms around in those sleeves cause fuunnn.

Opposite to Lio getting cold super easy. Galo gets warm and sweaty super easy. They hate feeling sweaty and sticky so thats why he is usually topless. He shaves his pits cause they don’t enjoy the feeling of tickly hair or the thought of it being more smelly. It could be 30F degrees out and they’re fine in a tank top. Lio has a video saved of Galo in only their boxers jumping straight into a massive snow pile.

Meis, Gueira and Lio’s relationship is a polycule. They’ve decided to be platonic partners but call it ‘blood brothers’ cause it sounds cooler. They just all couldn’t bare the thought of not being together for the rest of their lives, especially after all they’ve been through. Galo was at first jealous of Meis and Gueira’s closeness to Lio and how they knew so much about him that Galo didn’t. It wasn’t a jealously of ‘Lio’s mine and only mine’ more of Galo’s self esteem issues of ‘why would Lio like me when he already has them?’.

Most times Galo hangs out with Meis or Gueira is when Lio is also there. One night Lio has a bad meltdown, he takes off on a motorcycle into the desert and isn’t found for hours. Galo is down right freaking out and trying to control is own panic attack. After searching by himself for hours and then almost getting themselves into a crash, Galo calls for Meis and Gueira. Meis and Gueira unfortunately know this is something Lio’s done before. Gueira heads off alone to all the places he knows Lio might go to for alone time. Meis stays with Galo to calm them down. Galo confesses all their self doubts about how he’s horrible to Lio, all Galo’s ‘what ifs’ and Meis quickly shuts down all of them. Through an unfortunate circumstance Galo’s jealously towards Meis and Gueira subsides after realizing theyre just there for Lio as much as Galo is. That their friendship doesn’t downplay Galo and Lios platonic or romantic relationship.

They do find Lio and shovel mint choco ice cream into his face while he cries and the cold grounds him from his episode. Galo even kisses him despite the gross mint covered Lio lips.

Meis and Gueira are not actually always with eachother 24/7. They both do a lot of their own things. Gueira being a sports junkie but having physical issues with his limbs giving out or cramping up at random times to the point he unfortunately isn’t allowed to play in real life teams, he goes into commentating. Being loud and talking fast is his specialty. He also loves e-sports and dives into video games after the Parnassus events left him bound to a bed for recovery.

Gueira forced Lio and Meis to watch lets players online and try out different video games. Gueira quickly learned that Meis is the player to feel satisfied in just sabotaging anyone elses chances at winning even if Meis themselves lose, and that Lio is really really competitive. Gueira stopped having them all play verses games together after Meis screwed over Lio in Mario Party and they both stopped talking for a week.

Gueira also is super good with kids!! He helps out the orphaned Burnish after the Parnassus events. He even went out of his way to start working on getting EMT and physical therapy training to help other kids with mobility issues that he himself has.

Meis is a WEEB. I know most fandom seems to make Gueira the anime nerd but Meis was into Visual Kei! They are into anime and j-fashion. Galo was excited to learn Meis enjoyed anime...til Galo found out what kind of anime. Anything blood, gorey, horror related was Meis’ thing. Hell Girl, Another, Corpse Party, Death Note, Devilman Crybaby, Elfen Lied. Meis can make a list of how horribly problem filled each one is but then love watching it.

Meis also is super into the music scene. They built their own punk band after the Parnassus events with a couple other ex Mad Burnish members. Meis even plays for other bands sometimes. They’re a lead singer and guitarist in their own band but just instrument in others. They’re that type of person that can make a good beat played with anything just lying around. Mad Burnish camp songs were Meis jam on the days when they were on the run.

..................I feel like I could go on forever haha but imma stop here for now. Thank for reading!

dude im starting to foam at the mouth at tmr. whats ur characterisation of the mains i need to hear the tea

when i first read this i was like MY characterization? but eye didn’t do anything.. and then realized james dashner and whoever wrote the screenplays didn’t really do anything either so.

i feel like (much like Avatar, 2009, Oh, Wouldn’t You Know) tmr focuses more on building a world than building its characters, now i don’t really mind this as i happen to be a fan of Places and Things, but i AM annoyed bc memorable characters = relevancy and thats a setback for what i’m trying to do here

i’m literally not even saying the characters are bad i like them but they needed rebranding. if thomas had some sort of unique physical distinction synonymous with who he is and his backstory, destiny, and legacy maybe we’d have a maze runner theme park at universal studios rn you know.

ok ok but the funny thing abt tmr is it’s basically a teenage boy hivemind..... the only thing they CAN think about most of the time is how to not die, they don’t seem to individually represent anything, and they all have their fucking minds wiped so there’s nothing about their past to shape them or motivate them or anything like that.. in this post apocalyptic hellscape the core goals of the heroes AND the villains are just going to be about survival and while that’s not uninteresting, none of that makes it easy to create distinctive characters. ahdjdkkd sorry i’ll stop myself and talk more about that later and now i will actually try to chat abt the tmr characters !!

okay so i mentioned none of them having backstory which is a lie because THOMAS, hello, actually has a backstory, and it is completely wasted on him which is so funny to me. like he’s a very in-the-now person who willfully ignores the fact that he has a past and honestly that doesn’t matter bc it barely affects his current reality at all besides people from WCKD already knowing who he is. like i strongly think if thomas was just some random he would still do everything the same and everyone would still be trying to kill him. thomas (alright besides his magic blood i’ll give you that) is not actually special but it’s like HE is the only one who knows that. everyone’s like why is thomas so special why is thomas different, but i think (again, besides the blood) he’s genuinely not, he’s literally just stupid. it’s implied maybe he used to be really smart but that obviously didn’t work out for him because now he’s just a newborn calf who’s dumb and brave and impulsive and it WORKS !!!! he’s naturally very curious, which is why he’s a good protagonist for exploring our fun settings and (more importantly) another reason why it’s SO funny he does not care to know about his old life . and thomas is a circumstantial leader. i think most YA protags in things like this don’t want to be the leader but are good at it once they try and usually NEED to be the leader for whatever reason. thomas leads when it makes sense for him to lead, like when they need to take immediate action or someone needs to yell “RUN!!!!” otherwise the leadership role goes to someone who is capable like alby or minho or newt or if they’re lucky enough to find literally any grown up who isn’t evil it’ll go to them. i think it’s nice that thomas pushes when something’s important to him but otherwise is fine with whatever he’s given. if one were to use cats 2019 terms i would say most of the time thomas is victoria if she was the jellicle choice but he’s jennyanydots when he’s alone (he sits and sits and sits and sits)

i think it’s significant TERESA was the only one who got her memories back and in the movies she doesn’t really become a person until she finds her purpose from those memories and her former self’s morals. thomas was like “yeah there’s no way i’m fucking with WCKD again because they suck. they put me and my friends in a killer maze. i ain’t reading all those memories. i’m happy for me tho. or sorry that happened.” but teresa needed to know and needed to justify her choices. if thomas doesn’t think he’s different, teresa definitely thinks she is! and she is unique, once she gets her memories she’s SMART AGAIN she’s a teen scientist wunderkind which i will never stop thinking about like how does she really feel about thomas who she KNOWS has lost all intelligence on PURPOSE and is on the right side of history because of it. what teresa did wasn’t even that bad i guess she had noble intentions but she betrayed the boys and that is not on. teresa is what always sunny would call “the useless chick” for most of the time in this fun little series but her shining moment is when she entered the maze and was like IMMA START THROWING ROCKS AT ANYONE WHO IS NOT DYLAN O’BRIEN (a very accurate and impressive representation of a teenage girl). and can i mention the dynamic between thomas and teresa would be a lot more interesting if they were twins. it’s the drama of the last of your family making a decision completely opposite your own instead of some random coworker you have no real chemistry with

BRENDA is just like Cool Action Girl i have no thoughts on her but i don’t dislike her. i don’t think we like ever see her interact with the whole maze group but they’d all be scared of her because she’s not fucking around and i think she would be mean if needed. she’ll fit in

this is the part of the tumblr post where i get to the best characters but have nothing to say about them 😔

MINHO is too cool for this series. i’m confident every single one of these teens is in love with him and he knows none of them are good enough. in cats terms he’s munkustrap because without him everything would be a mess but he’s got the range for the rum tum tugger. minho is the one who says “guys why don’t we just say fuck like normal people” after a week of everyone saying stuff like “shuckface” to which gally or any other rule abiding freak is like okay that’s IT time out. get on top of the fridge. and he screams THIS MAZE IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE

newt :-) NEWT is mr mistoffelees in cats 1998 (NOT 2019) because he’s gay, he has the panache of a cat twirling around in a light up jacket shooting lightning out of his paws, and he’s saying things like “the rum tum tugger is a terrible whore” to RTT’s face and getting away with it. i love when he asks thomas if he still likes teresa and gets in his face about it and screams like what was that even about that was homosexual activity. i really love newt.... like can i talk about his fashion choices again the scarf and fingerless gloves in scorch trials even tho it’s a thousand degrees he looks good. and the shearling jacket in the death cure literally STYLIN... it’s very important that newt is the only british person in this whole thing i think. what’s up with that. i love it. he’s the most likely to think “wow this glade thing is kinda like love island” but the least likely to say those words out loud

#okay wow that was a lot i dont even know what i said at this point #tmr #x #asks #anon

19th-century political parties kidnapped reluctant voters and printed their own ballots — and that’s why we’ve got laws regulating behavior at polling places

An indication conserving campaigners at a distance within the New Hampshire presidential main election on the City Corridor in Chichester, New Hampshire, Feb. 9, 2016. Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe through Getty Photos

Writer Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th-century grasp of American macabre, might have died of soiled politics. In response to legend, a gang of get together “ballot hustlers” kidnapped and drugged him. They compelled him to vote, then deserted him close to dying. Particulars are murky, however we do know Poe died in Baltimore days after an election.

The story, although seemingly unfaithful, is definitely doable. Election Day in 19th-century America was a loud, raucous, usually harmful occasion. Political events would provide meals, drink and inducements starting from gives of bribes to threats of beatings to encourage voters to solid the get together’s official poll.

Reforms on the finish of the century – notably after an particularly soiled 1888 presidential election – aimed to cease the shenanigans, guarantee the security of voters and elevate the act of voting.

That is why we now have secret, government-printed ballots relatively than party-provided ballots. And all 50 states have legal guidelines that ban doubtlessly intimidating conduct at polling locations.

Elections within the 19th century had been typically wild affairs; this cartoon is from 1857. Library of Congress Prints and Pictures Division

Vestigial legal guidelines?

The thought behind these legal guidelines is to forestall the sort of “ballot hustling” to which Poe might have fallen sufferer.

Celebration powerful guys can’t comply with (or drag) helpless voters into the polling place, watching them to ensure they vote the right poll with the implicit risk {that a} “fallacious” vote may lead to a beating.

These legal guidelines usually prohibit marketing campaign actions – sporting marketing campaign paraphernalia, shouting slogans, even loitering inside polling locations. Distance necessities for campaigners, starting from 10 toes from a polling place in Pennsylvania to 600 toes away in Louisiana, assist to guarantee that secret ballots are literally solid in secret.

However these vestigial legal guidelines meant to purify 19th-century elections could also be ailing outfitted for hyperpartisan 2020.

If voters come to the polls sporting symbols just like the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag that has advanced into an anti-government image, a rainbow pin related to homosexual delight, or perhaps a sticker from a spice firm whose proprietor detests Trump, these symbols can tackle a perceived political which means. Underneath these legal guidelines, these individuals may very well be accused of illegally campaigning the place individuals vote.

How can anti-electioneering legal guidelines hold politics out of the polling place when politics already suffuses a lot of life? And this 12 months, polling locations for a lot of would be the kitchen desk or a poll drop-off field. In that context, do these legal guidelines nonetheless have relevance?

‘Purifying’ elections

Political reformers within the late 1880s noticed elections as too carefully tied to get together machines and their Election Day carousing. A lot of the reform round this time was targeted on “cleansing up” politics and destroying the nefarious affect of get together machines.

Actually, our present common understanding of get together machines as being universally corrupt and lowbrow is perhaps as a result of “good authorities” activists received, in order that they bought to put in writing the historical past

But in 2020, these reforms meant to purify 19th-century elections might not have the impact the authors supposed.

For instance, a New Hampshire lady opted to vote topless in that state’s main in September after election officers informed her that her anti-Trump T-shirt ran afoul of New Hampshire legal guidelines forbidding campaigning inside a polling place.

The proprietor of the spice firm providing this sticker is thought for being anti-Trump; will sporting the sticker to the polls depend as campaigning? Penzeys

Actually, 10 states at present have legal guidelines on the books regulating the sorts of clothes voters can put on to the polling place.

These legal guidelines might violate the U.S. Structure’s First Modification prohibition on limits to free speech, however not all have been examined in courtroom. Within the 2018 opinion Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky, the Supreme Court docket dominated that the state’s legal guidelines to create an “orderly and managed setting” across the polling place had been overly obscure. The same lawsuit is underway in Texas.

In response to the Minnesota opinion, “a rule whose truthful enforcement requires an election choose to keep up a psychological index of the platforms and positions of each candidate and get together on the poll isn’t cheap.”

Ballot staff, then, don’t have to hold abreast of what a black and yellow polo shirt means or which spice firm has engaged in political advocacy.

‘Dangerous issues occur in Philadelphia’

Even so, teasing out what constitutes a “political message” in 2020 appears straightforward in contrast with teasing out what constitutes a “polling place” when so many citizens will solid their ballots earlier than Election Day.

Within the Sept. 29 presidential debate, President Donald Trump warned that “unhealthy issues occur in Philadelphia.” Earlier that week, a paid Republican ballot watcher was denied entry right into a constructing that was dealing with, amongst different issues, voter registration and pickup and drop-off of mail-in ballots. Ballot watchers are allowed in Pennsylvania however should comply with a strict algorithm geared toward distinguishing between watchers defending the integrity of the election and get together toughs intimidating voters as they fill out their ballots.

The Trump marketing campaign is suing to be allowed entry to the Philadelphia website. However the county Board of Elections argues that poll pickup and drop-off websites are usually not polling locations, and COVID-19 restrictions preclude individuals from loitering in public buildings all day.

The state courtroom rejected the Trump marketing campaign’s argument, explaining that watchers are allowed solely at polling locations on Election Day, not Board of Elections places of work at different occasions. The marketing campaign has promised to attraction.

How clear is simply too clear?

In her 2004 e book “Diminished Democracy,” political scientist Theda Skocpol describes 19th-century reformers as working “for measures that might emphasize an unemotional, academic fashion of politics.”

Demanding the safety of the purity of the polling place and politics, Skocpol argues, “treats politics as if it had been one thing soiled and implicitly holds up the perfect of an informed elite safely above and outdoors of politics.”

Definitely, few People would advocate permitting the nation’s literary greats – or anybody else – to fall prey to roving political gangs. However figuring out find out how to shield the integrity of elections is troublesome when elections are in every single place.

And if 2020 is any indication, it is probably not as straightforward as counting on guidelines meant for a special time, a special technique of voting and a special citizens.

Whats wrong with asterix?

(*sigh* this is hard for me so it might be messy.)

1. racist caricatures all over the place, esp in the stories where asterix and obelix visit the east- there’s a story about them going to india which is really really bad in that aspect.

2. a LOT of sexism. the women are always ridiculed, their interests and intellect belittled constantly. here’s an excerpt from an interview w uderzo.

“The books have also been accused of being reactionary, racist, xenophobic and sexist - with women as bimbos or harpies. Uderzo grins: "I know women don't always play a big role in the books, but if I drew them in the same way as I draw men - well, it would look horrible." His answer to feminist complaints comes in the most recently published book, Asterix's Secret Weapon, in which the village is riven by the arrival of Bravura, a strident teacher whose liberated ideas drive the men to distraction. Worse still, when the Romans send a bunch of female legionaries into battle, they emerge as silly girlies who give in when the Gauls sell them the latest Paris fashions. Women will not feature heavily in the new book, Uderzo says, adding wryly: "I'm surprised no one has accused Asterix and Obelix of being homosexual. After all, their intimacy could be seen as not entirely normal."“ link to the article [x]

3. “ACCUSED asterix and obelix of being homosexual” because obviously.. thats a bad thing. :\\\\\\\\\

personally, the story with the women, that’s mentioned in the interview- that’s my favorite story from when i was younger. i read it thousands of times. i traced frames from it. i loved it. And the worst part is you know why it was my fav story? Bc it was the only one that had women in it. They had dialogue, and they did women stuff like organizing a fashion show instead of fighting, which i thought was so cool and refreshing, so different from the other stories. And rereading it as a grown up i realize its ridiculed... 'silly women are so shallow they cant say no to a fashion show'. And they’re all drawn pretty w the same body type. While the men are drawn different and even ugly, which makes them interesting... he says so explicitly in the interview, that it would just “look horrible” if he drew women the same way as men, because for him women are either 1.all the same or 2.not characters but props in the story.

sorry i didn’t go into the racism aspect in such detail as i did with the misogyny. i don’t feel comfortable speaking about that seeing as my “ethnicity” isn’t any of the ones depicted stereotypically in the stories and therefore i feel i would be talking on behalf of people who are part of those ethnicities, and i don’t think that’s right. here is an interesting article i found on the matter.

get ready to rrrrrumble

jesus christ this is a long ass submission so uh puts it in a read more also puts my txt in bold so its easier to read 👍

Right, so I’ve just read everything that happened in the last few asks you got and I’m just gonna sit down and tell you this right now. You better strap the fuck in because this is long and if you’re not gonna read it, shame on you, because all of this is specifically about YOU and the problems people have with you (the people Blu mentioned). First off, I’m not Blu, so don’t go and start calling him names in your server because you’re finally, FINALLY, being called out on all the bullshit you do. I used to be your friend, I left on semi-good terms, and this entire thing is going to explain WHY I left + why you need to square the fuck up.

sounds like fun whoever u are

You need to get your shit together and seriously change yourself, but of course you’re not gonna do that, because you’re an incompetent piece of shit who has your head so far up your ass you can’t see all the things you do wrong. You act like you’re the person who suffers the most, and that anytime anyone is rude to you it’s THEIR fault, not the fact that you did something terrible to someone or that you started some drama. I’ve been fed up with this shit for months, and have been hesitant to say anything directly to your face, because you don’t even know me that well and we hardly talked. We did interact a few times, but those few times were absolute hell to me, because I must have literally retracted some kind of disease just from being near you. You are the fucking EMBODIMENT of tumblrina, and it’s so fucking sad because you weren’t like this before (based on what a few others have told me).

the use of tumblrina here is jus makin me laugh ur a funny guy buddy but i feel like my past self is worse thn my current self like past me participated in cringe culture so like ew

The way you talk? Absolutely fucking horrid. Sit the fuck up and talk like a normal goddamn human being. I’m here to talk to you, not to decipher some 57 commas and abhorrid shortening of words. Jesus fucking Christ Sombre, I can understand Internet slang and cutting some words up, but you fucking butcher the English language so bad it literally sounds like a toddler having a stroke while mashing at their keyboard. It’s “that” not “tht”, it’s “thing” not “thng”, it’s “something” not “smth”, and for GOD FUCKING SAKES IT’S “THE” NOT “TH”. ARE YOU LITERALLY SO FUCKING LAZY THAT YOU CAN’T EVEN TYPE “THE”, A THREE LETTER WORD. I don’t give a shit if you’re talking like this to sound like an anxious uwu tumblr piece of SHIT, it sounds fucking IDIOTIC and it’s an ABSO-FUCKING-LUTE PAIN TO READ.

language is fake and is mostly just sounds we give meaning, im very sorry if you have trouble reading the way i type and id be more than happy to try and not speak to you like i usually do to everyone else if you just asked politely and talked it out with me (tho the idiotic part is accurate im not very smart lmao)

SPEAKING OF YOUR TUMBLR, LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR UPSET.TXT TAG. If you think anyone is gonna pity you, SPOILER ALERT! THEY’RE FUCKING NOT. Unless they’re your shitty “friends”, NOBODY fucking gives a shit, alrighty? Speaking from my perspective and a few others, nobody’s gonna see this venting on their dashboard and give two shits. Unless they’re your mutuals, they won’t care and it just leaves a bad impression. It’s pathetic how when ANYTHING negative happens to you, you decide to take to Tumblr to boo hoo crypost about it. You wanna vent? You wanna cry yourself to sleep? Cool, talk about it on your server, NOT FUCKING TUMBLR, WHERE LITERALLY ANYONE CAN SEE IT. This is just like how Facebook used to be, you see these posts of people posting personal shit and getting bit in the ass for it later, YEAH WELL THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW BUDDY. DON’T LIKE IT? DON’T FUCKING VENT ON TUMBLR.

i rarely vent on here dude like?? do you see the time gaps between the posts in my vent tag? its also my blog so i can post whatever i like as long as im not hurting anyone yo, plus the point of venting for me at least isnt to like get attention or sympathy its to let off some steam not to mention most to all of my vent posts are vague as hell so like…. why do you even care though?? if i get bit in the ass then thats my problem not yours

Right, so let’s talk about your “im gay” tag too! You identify as male, correct? That’s cool! Congrats. But you’re not gay if you clearly show an interest in girls. Doesn’t matter if they’re fictional or not. Your “im gay” tag is filled with girls (Bismuth, some anime girl, pinup girls). NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE! You’re male, those are females! Opposite genders! That means you’re NOT GAY! WOAAAAAH! So who are you to be reblogging and posting all this shit about how hetero people are the devil, hetero people are the worst wah wah, when you yourself identify as a guy and clearly seem to be interested in girls, even if just a little?

dude i used to identify as nonbinary i only recently started identifying as male, hell i used to identify as female ages back so like? the posts in that tag are most to all old and i do realize my attraction to girls isnt gay, hence why ive only been referring to my attraction to dudes as me being gay post-male identification i guess

Speaking of all the heterophobic shit you reblog, have you not considered it could make some of your followers feel absolutely terrible? I’m bi myself, I like both guys and girls, but holy FUCK when I see that shit on your blog it makes me feel guilty for liking guys at all! Is that how you want people to feel? Whether they’re pan, bi, or straight, that shit’s literally so fucking damaging and it sure as hell hurts to see! And don’t throw that “some of those posts are jokes” bullshit at me, because guess the fuck what! They may be jokes to people who aren’t hetero, but they sure as hell don’t seem like jokes to those who are! How would you feel if I made a joke that was even SLIGHTLY negative towards homosexuals? Wait, no, don’t answer that, because I already know how you’d feel. You’d get pissy, you’d stomp your little baby feet over to Tumblr, and then crypost about it, saying you’re facing homophobia and being harassed blah blah blah.

HETEROPHOBIC IM LAUGHING…. buddy…. pal…. heterophobia is fake and im very sorry if those post make you feel bad as a bisexual person (im also bi so) but heterophobia isnt actually a thing, comparing jokes directed at straight people to lgbtphobia is inherently lgbtphobic as it compares little jokes most to all directed at bigoted/ignorant straights to something that can often result in the actual literal death of hundreds of people for their gender/orientation- that doesnt happen to straight people dude

Also: you don’t have autism. Were you officially diagnosed? Because I’m gonna be real fuckin’ honest, it doesn’t sound like you have autism. You sure have something, hoh yeah, but it’s sure as hell not autism. You put your “autism” up on a pedestal and act like it’s one of the only things about you, like no hunty, your mental illness doesn’t define you. Nobody gives a shit, okay? Your mental illness isn’t an excuse to act like a literal fuckface, it’s not an excuse to treat people like shit, and it sure as hell isn’t an excuse to blame everything on others and make yourself out to be the good guy because “my autism made me anxious or forget things ;w;”. This is the exact kind of tumblrina thing I’m talking about, people on this goddamn website act like their mental illness is the only quality about them and that not being neurotypical makes them special. NEWS-FUCKIN-FLASH, it doesn’t. It really doesn’t. You don’t see me using my mental illness as an excuse for my actions, because I actually step the fuck up and take responsibility for shit I’ve caused. My mental illness does not define me. There’s more to me than that. You need to realize that your fake-ass autism isn’t an excuse for you to be a fucking asshole to the people around you, and that your actions do have consequences. Stop blaming others for shit you’ve caused, stop calling people jackasses when it’s YOU who’s insulting people and twisting the truth, and for the love of God tell your white knights of friends to shut the FUCK up if they don’t know all the details of a situation.

i was technically diagnosed albeit in a nontraditional fashion (a psych at our middleschool was the one who diagnosed me) and i have never defined myself solely by my autism nor have i used it as an excuse for my fuck ups, ive literally apologized and stopped doing the things i did since the blu incident, i recognize i fucked up there and i apologized and i havent done the whole lying out of anxiety thing since, also my white knights of friends??? YOURE the one coming into MY inbox to tell me how shit i am after i blocked blu i literally just want this to be over leave me alone dude

Alright, so now that we’re done talking about YOU, let’s talk about your fandoms. You like Osomatsu-San. Okay, that’s fine. What’s not fine is how FUCKING obsessive you are about it. There’s nothing wrong with liking something and being attached to characters, making art of it, having a blog, reblogging it, talking about it, that’s okay. That’s okay! But you? You fucking hold the characters so close and act like they’re your own characters. You get upset when something doesn’t go your way in the show. This was evidenced by how many times you’ve complained about episodes (guess where? upset.txt) after they’ve come out. That anon about the straight joke? You got so heated over that, didn’t you? Saying Chibita was “out of character”, BITCH, what do you fucking know? He’s not your goddamn character! The writers will write him however the fuck they want. It’s THEIR fucking show, it’s THEIR fucking characters, and it’s THEIR decision of who does what and who acts like what. There’s a VERY thick line between canon and fanon, and you can’t seem to distinguish that AT ALL. You merge your shitty headcanons with the canon universe, and when something doesn’t go your way, you FREAK THE FUCK OUT and go crying about it in your server or on your tags.

youre blowing that ONE FUCKING POST so out of proportion ive never complained abt ososan in upset.txt outside of MAYBE episode 4 and that would be because of the NONCONSENSUAL SEX SCENE i KNOW my headcanons arent canon i KNOW that the chibita/snowtoko complaint was MINOR and i fucking LIKED THAT EPISODE A LOT!! i didnt cry i just felt that based on how the staff have characterized chibita up until that point it was a little jarring to see him react like he did THAT IS ALL! what the fuck!! how would you even know what i talk about in my servers!! youre obviously misinformed my guy!!!

Lemme tell you something, Sombre: Karabita isn’t canon. OH SHIT! I SAID IT BOYS! THAT’S A FUCKING CURSE ISN’T IT!! No, sorry, sit the fuck down and suck those tears up, because it’s true. It’s not canon. It isn’t. You grasp at straws to say it is, but it isn’t. Chibita wore somehing blue? Oh shit, it’s Karamatsu! He’s clearly in love with him! No, sorry honey, that’s not how it works. Of course Chibita would feel pity on him and let him stay with him (ep 24), because who wouldn’t? That doesn’t mean they’re dating. Karamatsu may be the most bisexual person ever, but he sure as hell isn’t dating Chibita (at least, not canonly). Speaking of Chibita, you need to stop acting like any other Matsu x Chibita ship is literal hell. They’re not. There are some decent ones out there, and although they’re rarepairs by now, they’re a lot better quality than the Karabita bullshit you spew out.

me saying karabita is canon is a joke, and my disdain for non karabita matsubita ships is based half in coping reasons and half in chibita has literally no chemistry with the other matsus and seems to not like any of the other bros at all whereas hes actually shown some level of tolerance or interest in karamatsu

While we’re on the subject of non-canon ships, Atsutodo isn’t canon either. Fuck’s sake, they were on screen together for 10 damn seconds. Yes, I’m aware there’s card art of Atsushi and Todomatsu having a meal together, but they’re very clearly not dating if Todomatsu is still going out with girls and holding their hands etc. Oh, speaking of Todomatsu: Your trans hc of him? Generic as fuck. He’s not trans. Call me a transphobe, I don’t give a shit, but he’s not trans. Look at the -kun animes. He’s a guy. Where in his life would he have magically been a girl and then go right back to a guy? The time span between a 12 year old and a 21 year old isn’t long enough to allow you time to transition. In that day and age, it wasn’t even acceptable to be transgender. So none of the Matsus are trans, get that out of your head. Get those “autism hcs” out of your head too, because I KNOW you hc Kara and Jyushi as autistic (and I’m aware you used to headcanon Ichimatsu as autistic too, but we’ll get to that later).

i know atsutodo isnt canon i never said it was all the “x ship is canon” jokes are about karabita and theyre jokes dude, i just think atsutodo would be cute. why the fuck do you even care about my trans hcs?? theyre HEADCANONS they dont HURT ANYONE and like dude there are trans children out there….. stop being a fuckface about simple headcanons what the fuck.

Lemme tell ya something. Karamatsu sure as hell isn’t autistic. Literally the only reason you headcanon him as such is because you yourself claim to be autistic and because “uwu he’s m fav,,,, i relate to him,,,”. Also, I realize “jyushi is autistic xD” headcanons are common, but JESUS FUCK it’s time for them to die. Jyushimatsu is just bizarre in and out, it’s his personality and his way of life. If you’re gonna hc him as autistic for his personality, you’re obviously ignoring his physical abilities. What about that time he cloned himself? Grew different sizes? What about how he seemingly has no bones (tentacle arms)? But oh, let’s ignore that, because he’s always got a smile on his face and he has a childish personality so DURR HE’S OBVIOUSLY AUTISTIC. Also, you used to headcanon Ichimatsu as autistic, but as soon as you started hating him you threw that headcanon out the window. This is PROOF you only headcanon your favorite characters as autistic, and that’s some of the STUPIDEST shit ever.

literally just let people headcanon what they want if it doesnt hurt anyone, im sure in canon theyre not autistic but this is HEADCANON. and is this also to imply that just because a character can do bizarre thing with theyre body they cant also be autistic?? what the fuck does that have to do with anything??? and i didnt throw my autistic ichi hc out the window because “i hate him” i dont even hate him im indifferent to him i hate his fanon incarnation because its stupidly out of character and one note, i also didnt even drop the autism hc for him i feel like he definitely 100% could be autistic but i just dont think about it as much because i think about other characters more than i think about him

Oh yeah, I’d love to hear why you hate Ichimatsu so much? Shut up, I know it’s because “hhhh he abuses kara” but that’s fucking wrong. Listen, Ichimatsu isn’t exactly my favorite either but at least I don’t make him out to be a fucking asshole to Karamatsu. All of the brothers have treated Karamatsu like shit at one point or another. They’ve thrown things at him, ditched him, called him names, ignored him, it’s a fucking trope in the anime that Karamatsu was the one to get hurt. Sure, season 2 has kinda turned that around, but the whole “Ichimatsu is bitter to Karamatsu” thing is the dynamic between them. They DO have moments where they’re not onto each other, though. See how Ichimatsu followed Karamatsu into the woods? Remember the episode where they switched clothes? They didn’t kill each other neither of those times, did they? And yes, I’m aware Ichimatsu has hurt Karamatsu at times (the bazooka, I think smacking?) but he doesn’t LITERALLY ABUSE HIM. You don’t see him kicking him around, PUNCHING HIM, HITTING HIM, EVERY SECOND OF HIS LIFE. Yes, he calls him names. Yes, he’s threatened to hurt him (“I’ll kill you, Shittymatsu.”) but he’s been stopped or HAS stopped every time. If he really was so intent on hurting Karamatsu, don’t you think he wouldn’t ignore his brothers and hurt Karamatsu anyway? But no, he didn’t, and he stopped each time he grabbed Kara. That’s because the entire “Ichimatsu despises Karamatsu” thing is a GAG in the show. It’s meant to be funny. It’s not meant for your negative ass to label it as abuse and then boohoo about it every time Ichimatsu is mentioned. That’s not a valid reason to hate a character, hell, even Karamatsu’s seiyuu said in a Doramatsu CD that Karamatsu was just comic relief. And if you’re gonna look for a reason why Ichimatsu dislikes Karamatsu, consider the hinted and well-supported reason: Ichimatsu “hates” Karamatsu because of how confident he is and how he can always be himself. Ichi is insecure. Ichi is antisocial. Kara, on the other hand, can express himself and show how “cool” he is. Consider that Ichimatsu wants to be more like him, hence why he said he’s the “number one Karamatsu boy” in that one episode.

okay this is just ridiculous i DONT HATE ICHIMATSU and i KNOW its a GAG, i KNOW they get along sometimes i KNOW all the brothers have shat on kara I KNOW THIS abuse takes many forms though and in a more serious anime the way the bros treat kara would probably be depicted as abusive, but it isnt a serious anime so its a gag and i understand that thats FINE, did you even watch the ichimatsu incident? ichimatsu got plenty fucking pissed off at karamatsu and stuff and the “number one karamatsu boy” nonsense was him being concerned about how karamatsu might think of him as such not him calling himself a karamatsu boy, and yes i know the whole ichi wants to be cool and confident like kara thing i understand that but even so that wouldnt logically excuse his bitterness toward kara but again, its a gag anime so its whatever, youre also ignoring the facet of his disdain towards kara being in part because kara is also vain and ichi finds this annoying and thinks kara is fake as hell because of it there was something in i think a magazine where the bros are all asked what they think of eachother i think and i THINK ichi said something along the lines of him not liking kara because he fakes being nice for the sake of his own ego or something (which is likely ichi just having a negative image of kara rather than that actually being the case because i dont think karas that smart but who knows i dont!!) so like y’know

In conclusion, I would like to say you need to shut the fuck up and chill with your fandoms and headcanons, realize headcanons aren’t canon, and also get your head out of your ass. You’ve done so many wrong things and need to stop blaming them on others. You’ve lied, insulted, and put the blame on so many of your old friends, you’ve avoided people who you deem “toxic” (simply because they have different opinions than you), you think people can’t form their own opinions, and you don’t back up your friends when they’re getting shittalked. You act like an assoholic brat and cannot, for the life of you, open up your eyes and see this. You’re lucky the dicktwats on your server are there for you, because if they weren’t, you’d be all alone, and honestly? That seems pretty good at this point. Fits you perfectly.

i know headcanons arent canon, i know ive lied (though ive really only insulted people who were dicks to my friends and maybe blu which probably not a good thing but i mean hes also insulted me so?? even i guess??) and i regret that, im more honest now and try my best to show kindness to people who have done me and my friends no wrong, ive only ever put blame on blu i literally dont blame anyone else for anything, i dont avoid people i deem “toxic” i avoid people i dont get along with because if i dont get along with them then theres no reason to talk to them im gonna let them live their lives, of course i think people can form their own opinions what on earth are you talking about???? when did i not back up a friend when they got shit talked?? i dont remember that but id like to deeply apologize if i ever did, unless youre talking about when someone in my server insults blu over ykno… him not leaving me alone and harassing me when ive done nothing but mind my own business since the incident, then while it was kind of uncomfortable for me because i felt it was the wrong thing to do i couldnt exactly muster the words to protest it. im very sorry you feel that way im always trying to improve and i like to think that im making some level of progress in being more sensitive and kind to those around me. but also dont insult my friends they didnt do shit weve been minding our own goddamn business this entire time blu is the one who started it back up again.

Now, go back to crying in your server and soaking in self-deprication, fuckass.

yknow i get the feeling i know who this is but i dont want to jump to any conclusions so, uh, okay! see ya my dude :0c

#shut up sombre #drama /#heres to hoping this is the last thing i get abt this bc this is jus really dumb and im tryna move on over here #ask to tag /#submission

Fave Thomas headcanons, pls.

sorry for the late reply!! this has been in my inbox for like a week but i wanted to give it the attention it deserves!!

also i dont know if you’re asking for fandom headcanons that ive noticed or my own, but seeing as how i havent seen that many (none actually really spring to mind if im honest) this will just be an incomplete list of my own thomas headcanons unless otherwise stated

(disclaimer: of course it’s very difficult to have an original thought these days, and if you’ve seen these headcanons anywhere else, know i’m not trying to pass someone else’s idea off as my own, it just so happens that i have come to a certain conclusion that another person has, without me even seeing their posts. two people can have the same ideas without ever having any sort of interaction or seeing their posts alright alright glad we got that sorted)

fandom headcanons that r great and i fully endorse

thomas is gay. he absolutely adores miranda and they share a sex life (whether that be through group sex, mutual masturbation, or straight up one on one sexual activity) but he is a homosexual man

thomas is a top. this one the fandom seems to be agreed on. bottom thomas?? i dont know her

he doesnt like wearing his wig much it is itchy

my own headcanons

during elections he cast his votes for the Whigs rather than the Tories and should he have ever stood for office in the lower house would have done so as a Whig (the less right-wing of the two political parties during this period of British history) but believed party politics were dangerous and detrimental to the greater good of the country. He saw the dangers of the laizze-faire attitude the Whigs had and their sometimes aggressive anti-Catholicism disturbed him although sometimes the way he has been raised means he lets anti-Catholicism come into his line of thinking (as seen when things get heated with him and pops). That being said, he was, perhaps unsurprisingly, a royalist and had Tory tenancies (I think it’s safe to assume there was little love in Alfred Hamilton for liberalism, and I’m sure Thomas was raised a Tory) in that regard. Thomas was born very close to the time of the Glorious Revolution and with his family being an old aristocratic one, conservatism, in one form or another, would have been in his very bones.

tl;dr ^^ he’s a liberal who dislikes party politics and subscribes to ideologies from both sides of parliament

he’s a genuine believer in God and in Christ. He knows his scripture (he must be quoting the bible more than hes saying his own original thoughts in the show probably gfgdgfd) and Christ is important to him. He bases his life around Christ’s teachings - that’s why he’s so kind and so concerned with forgiveness and redemption and hope. He rejects the violence and hatred found in other parts of the Bible and has a great love for the gospels instead and finds his strength in Christ’s words about love and kindness and charity and forgiveness. He believes that to be a good Christian one must above all else be kind. He also highly values the lesson of the Good Samaritan (surprise surprise said no one ever) and reminds himself daily to never judge someone else for the life choices and decisions.

his mother was just as bad as his father. I’ve seen people suggest that thomas’ mother must have been an angel to balance out the devil of alfred for thomas to have turned out so good and im calling bullshit. someone with two mean-spirited and cruel parents can absolutely be wonderful people, and in thomas’ case i believe it was the distance of his parents and their disdain and judgement of the world and unkindness that made thomas quite the opposite. he saw the mistakes they were making and learned from them.

we know he went to eton. he deffo started kissing boys at the age of 13 or 14. he’s been a heartbreaker since teenagehood.

he’s around 30-35 when we see him in 1705 (less a headcanon and more a lazy estimation similar to ones hundreds of other people have made)

he enjoys sex a lot. he’s had a number of sexual partners most of whom were of the same social standing as he and he’s been in love before he meets james. he’s never loved anyone like james though. he believes james is his soulmate

he is caught between thoroughly enjoying high society life with all of its frills - the fashion, the music, the art, the luxurious houses and exuberant interiors - and feeling guilty about being so rich whilst others have so little in comparison. he’s not perfect, and so he lets himself enjoy the glamour of aristocratic europe without trying to give it too much thought.

it’s canon he’s a Big Thinker and was homies with other Big Thinkers (he probs fucked half of the enlightenment giants but thats for anotehr time) and I Think he’d spend a lot of time Thinking about Big Things you know like ??? would educating the masses be a good thing?? child labour, huh whats that all about is that worth it?? why are some people entitled to more simply because of who they were born as? and what even IS class? and other big questions politics and sociology and criminology and philosophy and economics and history students spend £9k a year thinking about lmao (tag urself im tragic politics student still cryin over the overlooked work engles did for yrs n yrs oh fred you was done so bad i lovE YOU)

crazy horny boy have james wear a butt plug during dinners with alfred lmao oh tomhas you wild thing

#thomas hamilton #ellie writes #IVE GOTTEN SO TIRED SINCE I STARTED WRITING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry #i love asks like this i love you #black sails //////#sex cw ///#nswf cw //////#Anonymous #ask

Lets just say ben is gay. I do not believe there is any evidence of that whatsoever, but lets say bengay is right. Gay men face violence and discrimination still in every area of life. Gay actors have forever been encouraged to beard. Its not the best way to live, but I don’t judge anyone for staying in the closet, especially when I don’t know the personal problems they’ve faced. Of course, lying is not a nice thing, its bad, and lying to a woman about being gay is terrible, but like i said, even as a cis white guy, gay men still face the threat of violence, discrimination, w holding of certain opportunities etc. even a wealthy white man could be at risk for violence and discrimination, so like i said, i would hope that everyone would live in a community and have people around them so that they could be open w out threat of career demolition, but thats not the case, so like i said, i really try not to judge anyone for staying in the closet

Is BenGay saying that Sophie Hunter is either 1) too stupid a woman to realise that her husband is gay? I mean, I know lots of women get tricked, and lying is never good, but I was under the impression that Sophie Hunter was smarter than the average woman, what, having gone to the elite schools she has. Its been touted that she has extreme intelligence, speaks multiple languages etc. Of course that is never a guarantee, but I would think anyone as worldly as Sophie, as incredibly perceptive as she is, as deep as she is, and as someone who has known Ben for nearly 20 yrs and has run in his circle, she would not be caught completely and totally dumbfounded over his sexuality. I find it hard to believe that a man could be in the closet and beard for decade after decade after decade and not have a single, solitary rumour get out amongst his friends even once. seeing as they have all been good, close friends, and she has been pals w his nearest and dearest for decades, including his ex, you would think Sophie would be tuned in enough not to be utterly snowed by him. Who knows, maybe not. Its happened to lesser women.

or 2) She is so completely desperate for fame, totally incapable of supporting herself in an adult fashion, cannot, under any circumstances, create a life for herself, cannot find anyone to love her, want her for their wife. Can’t have a career and a saucy love affair, a life of riches and glamour on her own, that she is willing to live the life of a beard, not loved for who she is, not valued etc, but to produce children and lie in exchange for a lifestyle and access to financial support and clothing, experiences etc. Assuming she cannot provide any of that for herself, or find a straight man who would want to provide that for her legitimately

i suppose there is the chance that they are both bearding, and neither can accept their homosexuality. Maybe Sophie is queer…

if im being totally honest, out of both of them, the only one that has pinged my gaydar has been her, and its not because i happen to be a skeptic. Being gay and/or queer is wonderful! If thats you Soph, welcome to the gaybourhood! No need to beard w Ben in exchange for access and money!

its common for two queers to enter into marriages of convenience, right?

J I don’t think Ben is gay at all, as much as I would love a cool new celeb on the team, but who knows T anon

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

JT, I love you and want to thank you for the giggles that will close this particular round of BenGay discussions in the best possible way.

Who knows and most important of all... Who cares? And why are they so pressed to make everyone reading these blogs care as well?

To the BenGay Anon(s) still sending me asks, give it a rest. I’m done playing along for the time being ;o)

[RF] Paap! 🕉

Seven days Ago...

"Mom I'm leaving alright? Its my first day at work and I don't want to be late, just in case they tag me as a lazybum", Sita shouted on top of her voice, in an attempt to inform her mother who was in the backyard, scanning the kitchen garden for signs of fresh carrots.

" There is a dabba on the table. Take that. I've filled it with Jhal Muri. Have it.Okay?", her mother shouted back.

In a haste, Sita ran down the gate to the bus stop, and stood there, adjusting her dupatta before catching the bus.

Once the bus arrived, she got up and took a seat on the left. Nervous as well as excited, she kept on thinking about how her first day would turn out.

Suddenly, she noticed the woman seated beside her, on the window side. She was frantically rubbing her palms and sweating.Out of the corner of her eye, Sita looked up into the woman's face.

She was exquisitely beautiful.

With a light powdered blue dupatta and a floral printed cotton salwar suit, she had her wavy hairs tied in a ponytail, with loose ends peaking out from the back of her ears. She wore a long pair of jhumkas, with the symbol of peacocks embedded in it. Both her hands were filled with light blue bangles.

As beautiful as she was, she wasn't at ease. Something haunted that beautifully porcelain-skinned face of hers. Unable to hide her curiosity, Sita spoke up.

"Are you okay? I am sorry but I could see you were quite tense. If there is anything I can do, please tell me".

Turning towards Sita, the girl blinked her moist eyelashes with awe and looked at her. Perhaps a nudge was all she needed so long.

After few seconds, she spoke.

" I'm Pavitra. Funny name ain't it? Well the name, and what you are about to hear, are two opposite poles of a story. Do you really want to know why I'm anxious?", the girl asked.

"The office I'm going to is another 45 minutes away. Go on, I have ample time. Tell me your story", Sita replied.

Pavitra was from a well-to-do family. No, wait. I'm being modest. She was the daughter of the Head Pandit of RamNarayanpur. Her family was one of the most respected in the entire town. And her mother? Well, she had been the daughter of the ex MLA of the town. All her life, Pavitra had wanted for nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Until she met Manpreet.

Completing her graduation, Pavitra wanted to persue her future career outside town, in the infamous Indrapur University. After a lot of persuasion, finally her parents allowed her to leave.

Indrapur University.

It was a world of its own. There was absolutely nothing one can not find here. With over 60 courses and more than 100 faculty members, this university was a place where politics originated and rested, where new talents bloomed and finally, dreams got lost in the pomp and show.

Pavitra had first met Manpreet on the lawn behind the basketball field. She was seated with her back towards the pine trees and facing the basketball ground. Her classes had just begun for a week, and she had a lot to catch up to what was being taught.

And then, all of a sudden, the ball hit her hard on the thighs.

A shadow loomed over her. Looking up, her eyes met with Manpreet Randhawa, the ace basketball player of Indrapur, looking down at her, with a sweaty, baggy tshirt and smiling.

" Sorry! Pass the ball please?".

Everything about Manpreet was normal, and in a normal way, they shouldn't have been anything but just friends. But thats not what happened.

And so, that is how the famous couple of IU, Pavitra and Manpreet, had begun their story of love.

Three months went by. Pavitra and Manpreet were both deeply involved eith one another. The only question was, how are they going to take this further into their future?

It says that bad news travels fast. And if its worse, then it travels even faster. Another two months later, Pavitra's parents had come to know of her relationship with Manpreet. Being a part of such headstrong and orthodox rules all their lives, both her father and mother called her home to talk about this.

"So I came from the University yesterday and stayed at my cousin's place for the night. The worry you see, its not anything else. Its the fact that I'm sure my family would not accept my relationship. But the much more scarier question is, what are they going to do about it", Pavitra looked in anxiety towards Sita.

" Its fine dear. Just remember one thing. Never let go. They might hurt you, but they can't break you. They are your parents. At the end, they'll embrace you. Anyway, it was nice meeting you Pavitra. Give me your address and phone number. I'll drop by someday this weekend", Sita replied.

One day ago...

Knocking on the big four bolted door of the old fashioned house, Sita waited on the verandah. She was at the address given by Pavitra. The whole week, the curiosity of what might have happened between Pavitra and her parents, regarding her boyfriend Manpreet, had been eating away Sita's mind, both at office and at home.

The door jolted and creaked. Jumping back to the present, Sita looked up.

A bald, roughly built man stood there, with a saffron dhoti around hid waist and below; and a janeuv(sacred thread) around his upper thorax in a diagonal manner. With strict fiery eyes, he spoke up.

"Anything important? Today there will be no offerings by me. Pritamji is there. He will aid you".

So this was Pavitra's father. Hmm.

" Oh no no Panditji. I haven't come to offer anything. I am Pavitra's friend. You can say her Sita is here. She'll know", Sita replied.

Hearing Pavitra's name, the face of the Pandit turned red. Closing one part of the door already, he blared at Sita,

"That girl shouldn't have any friends. She took down our name to a level, that even our enemies wouldn't wish upon us. We feel ashamed to have a child like her".

" But Uncle, Manpreet is a good guy. Or else why would Pavitra, a girl from such righteous roots, agree to be with him? Be reasonable Uncle", Sita urged him to understand, stopping the door from getting closed.

With a huge bellowing laughter, Pavitra's father opened the door.

"Come on then, meet Manpreet yourself. If you still feel Pavitra has a good choice, we will have a talk".

Following him inside through a series of doors, Sita came into a clearing behind the house.

There was Pavitra.

Seated in a short statured stool, she was in a devastated state. Hairs roughed up and pulled out, she was dressed in a salwar so crippled up that God knows how long she was seated like that.

Beside her, was her mother, almost in tears. And with them, was another beautiful girl, perhaps the cousin with whom she had stayed...

" Meet your friend's lover, Manpreet", saying so the Pandit grabbed the hairs of that girl and pulled her forward.

Everything had suddenly dawned on Sita.

Pavitra was in a homosexual relationship.

She now realised that all the while when Pavitra was narrating the story, there was no mention of the details of Manpreet. And now she knew why.

Present day.

Dragging Pavitra out of the house, the group of Pandits pushed her towards the road that led to the ghats.

Pavitra's parents had stripped her naked and burnt down all her clothes. She was a sinner, the ultimate sinner. And Manpreet? Well, she was forcibly married off to one of the junior Pujaris in the temple.

Naked, cold and barren, Pavitra walked slowly towards the Ghats. It was her judgement day. All the people in town had gathered to curse her of going against God and residing in evil.

Stepping foot in the water, she shivered. It was cold. But there was no escaping. One step ahead of another, she went neck deep into the water.

The sin-shredding ceremony had begun.

The long locks of hair slapped hard on her wet skin.With slow breaths and quivering lips, she gasped for air. Tears got lost in the huge laps of water. The pandit remained unwavered, still continuing the purifying chant.

She had to atone for her sins. The crowd started throwing stones and pebbles at her. Getting hurt on her head numerous times, she looked into her parent's eyes and begged for mercy. All they did was look away.

After about two hours, when everything around her was weighing her down and all vision turned blurry, she felt something heavy around her neck.

A rock was being tied to her body, with her hands and feet binded together.

Realising what was happening, she struggled to get free, but in vain. After splashing in the water for some time and gasping for air, Pavitra drowned.

Honour-killing had won over Constitutional rights, once again.

‘Isn’t it Romantic’ is the rare rom-com that’s actually clever

Head trauma has develop into a development at the films. the movies: A girl slams her noggin, passes out and awakens to find she’s a supermodel (“I Really feel Fairly”) or that she will be able to hear males’s ideas (“What Males Need”). I name them head-bangers. They’re additionally routinely horrible, apart from the very humorous new film “Isn’t it Romantic,” wherein the foremost character opens her eyes to search out she’s the lead in a clichéd romantic comedy. It turns the well-worn gadget on its, effectively, yeah. Insurgent Wilson performs Natalie, a New York architect who’s resigned to the banalities of her life: a crummy Queens house, attractive males round her relationship solely bombshells and being mistreated at the workplace by nearly everyone. She particularly loathes rom-coms and the blissful existences they current to mislead her variety. As a child, her mother (Jennifer Saunders channeling “Dance Mothers”) instructed her in the event that they made a film about downers like them, “it can be so unhappy, they’d need to sprinkle the popcorn with Prozac.” So, after her skull collides with a subway-station pillar throughout a mugging, Natalie is dismayed to study her life has develop into a drippy romantic comedy. Lengthy Island Metropolis now appears like Notting Hill, there are completely choreographed karaoke sequences straight out of “My Greatest Buddy’s Wedding ceremony” and a complete sex-pot (Liam Hemsworth) is enamored together with her. Priyanka Chopra and Insurgent Wilson face off in “Is not it Romantic.” Warner Brothers | Everertt Assortment Insurgent Wilson, middle, will get the compulsory rom-com heroine dance sequence. Warner Brothers | Everertt Assortment Liam Hemsworth, Insurgent Wilson and Adam Devine. Warner Brothers | Everett Assortment Insurgent Wilson Warner Brothers | Everertt Assortment 4 View Slideshow Director Todd Strauss-Schulson shoves in each rom-com conference you’ll be able to consider. There are Carrie Bradshaw-style voice-overs, an omnipresent homosexual finest pal and Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” blares continuously overhead. The film is hysterical and at just below 90 minutes, the gag by no means wears skinny. Following the well-worn story from lesser head-bangers, Natalie’s notion of actuality is altered by an damage, and whereas determining her new environment she figures out her life, too. However the writing right here has way more wit and liveliness than ordinary. The characters — like Adam Devine as Natalie’s co-worker with a crush — have charming, plausible personalities. It’s additionally not a “woman energy” film that strains so laborious to push the proper message that the finish consequence is tedium. And Wilson, it seems, can carry a complete film on her hilarious shoulders. Greatest generally known as Fats Amy from the “Pitch Good” collection, the Australian actress tends to play the humorous pal, all the time prepared with a raunchy punch line or a pratfall whereas Anna Kendrick will get the tears and wrestle. She swaps roles right here, however doesn’t mess together with her comedy fashion or clear issues up. When Natalie first steps out the hospital, she exclaims in terror, “New York doesn’t scent like s–t anymore!” However Wilson does handle to dig barely deeper emotionally than we’ve seen from her earlier than. Her chemistry with Devine, who she’s acted alongside for years, is real and touching. Not like different films the place ladies bang their heads, this one’s received a mind.

About me?

My name is *E* I’m a 20 year old male and this is my very first time here on Tumblr, this is also my first time online in almost a year*

I would currently describe myself as a very quiet, reserved, intellectual yet very insecure guy.

My interests are music (drums and piano), languages, photography, singing, psicologhy/human behaviour and helping as much as I can to other people.

Well, I’ll keep it super brief, but this is an overall resume of my life starting at 8 years.

8-10 Years.

- First of all let me start saying that I do not live in the prettiest place of the world, there are lot of gangs and is a common occurrence to get mugged, beat up, threatened or even killed. -

Due to the nature of the place i was brought into the world and other things, my parents were always very dire with me for me to do excellent in school from the very beggining.

My father comes from a bad place-family, he ran away from his home at age 10, didn’t even finished elementary school but yet he managed to learn a decent job (he is a mechanic), he is a class A- worker, an old fashioned man.

I have nothing but the outmost respect for him for what he has accomplished with the very few tools that he has... but that’s it.

My mother on the other hand comes from a decent family, yet she didn’t finished elementary too, she has had a lot of “jobs” during her life, nothing serious.

Despite their excessive pressure i managed to always be on top of every class, i was super participative in all the school activities, yet didn’t had any friends, sometimes i felt like a robot, but a very intelligent and cool robot.

Even at that short age i remember constantly spacing out and getting lost in my head for a lot of timel, having a lot of thoughts and questions about life, existence and things that i believe right now are were not a common thing at that age. The things that i remember asking myself the most at that age are: “Is being good at school really going to guarantee me a succesful life?” ”what does“succesfull” mean? does it mean having a good house, car, material possesions or does it mean being happy with myself while at the same thime contributing something positive to those around me? “are succesful and happy two different things?” “what if im not happy?” “how do i know if im really happy?” I remember in vivid detail watching other kids playing football and then out of nowhere they started to fight while i was just... away, away in a corner just observing.

I had two things “clear” in my mind.

I had to be good at school and nothing else, i couldn’t afford to lose focus on some other thing because i would get in trouble with my parents.

The place were i was living wasn’t a place for someone like me, I didn’t wanted to do “bad” stuff nor having to do with those things in the slightest way (As a result of this i pretty much stoped talking with everyone in the area and that got me into a lot of troubles even back then, constant threats, stealing my money, bullying, etc etc, but i didn’t even minded it, it felt somehow natural and i developed this state of insensibility and numbness toward those psicological abuses and the people (15-20yr old guys) that were doing it)

And then it was my house... Things were not okay at my house. My dad despite being an awesome worker and always providing what he could to the house... he was an alcoholic and abused my mother physically and verbally all the time in front of me, my mother on the other hand was just “numb” and didn’t even cared, she only cared about serving him and doing good in her “job”. One of the “fondest” memories that i have of my “family” was in one christmas... They were arguing... badly. My father was drunk an started yelling while my mother was just preparing the dinner... and i was just watching them... not knowing what to do... nor understanding what was exactly happening because from my perspective they had nothing to be figthing for... Thats when i turned on the Tv and the first thing i saw was the “Tom And Jerry” show... i looked up again to my parents and i don’t know why but i found such a resemblance in how how “Tom and Jerry” and my parents were acting...

I just thought to myself... “Tom and Jerry hate each other right? So that means my parents must hate each other?” And i toldto my parents with a cold dead face but with tears in my eyes... “Why are you even married...? Went to my room... and cried my way to sleep... at age 9. The days passed and nothing changed drastically...

My parents noticed that i didn’t go out and that i was turning into a (in their words) “very weird and lonely kid” so they decided to buy me a PS1 for me to do something else besides just studying and “mumbling, humming, and hitting things with my hands making senseless noise”. I played for quite a bit and loved it... not because i liked video games in particular but because it was a chance for me to develop my hand-eye cordination and to learn another language (Yes, english is not my primary language, in fact i learned everything i know through video games and music, i have never had a formal -english ed in my city is a joke- or decent class, but i plan to enter one in this year”) I played with that thing hoping to be able to understand everything that was on the screen, understand the music, and be able to hit things as fas and precise as i could (rithym and figthing games). It served me as an escape from the arguments and the screaming of my parents too, another thing that i remember quite vivid is my father and his cop friends being drunk and shooting some guns (that are supposedly for cop use only)... he was too drunk that he ordered me to shoot the gun, i couldn’t say no despite knowing that was such a dumb and clearly dangerous thing to do. I did, but i was so upset that i called another cops, he found out and well... throwed me a cup at my head and ever since... he and I... well our relationship since that day is complicated to almost inexistent (I’ll elaborate more on that later...). 10-15 Years. Despite both of my parents losing their jobs and us as a “family” starting a “family business” -food truck at a flea market- and me having to work almost everyday i managed not only to be the best of my school but also securing a place in the middle school of my choice due to my grades... but most importantly me asking directly to school principal. I felt very happy with this achievement in my life... seemed like i was finally going to escape from various things such as bullies, drugs and such and i WAS FINALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO TALK WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, to have “friends”, to go out and play and not feel like a total weirdo because of the constant words of my father. Talking about him... he and i drifted away completely... as i grew older and started to voice my opinions a lot more he was more and more convinced and expresed that i was (and I quote) “Not like him,and not his son at all”. What kind of opinions am i talking about? “It’s okay for people to be homosexual, a certain preference (that does not even affect us directly) should not affect how we see or think about those who surround us, being homosexual does not imply that you are a bad or a “distasteful” person... i think that kind of judgments are far beyond race, color, sexual preferences, likes, dislikes, etc. It’s your actions and the way you affect society what determines if you are a “bad” person. This lead my dad to think that i was starting to (in his words...) “transform” into an individual with sexual preferences towards guys, so he immediatly started to talk to me about sex... in such an uninformative and rather rude way... objectyifing women almost all the time and using words like “fuck” or “cunt”. (On a side note, my father is not religious at all, so his (quiet obvious if i must say so...) hate for homosexual people has nothing to do with religion at all... he really hates gay people, he calls them by such horrible and disrespectful names sometimes...wich bring us to the other opinion... “I dont really see what’s the point on being excessively rude with words, I don’t see what’s the point on cursing so much, wouldn’t be better if we could talk and express our thoughts without the use of such pointless words? wouldn’t we sound better?” This led my father to believe that i was giving him orders. And as a result it deteriored our relationship even more. And then... the final straw. I started to voice my opinions on how he treated my mother and women overall. I was starting to defending her if you like. He obviously didn’t liked that and this lead us to so many arguments and fights where the phrases “What the fuck do you know about life” “What the fuck do you know about women” “You don’t know anything you don’t even have any friends, you don’t even have anyone to talk to” were pretty common. Despite all this i loved him and i was hoping he someday would start to change, not even for me or for my mother... but for himself. His words obviously hurted me so bad everyday, i cried... a lot. And crying for him was a weakness and he didn’t hesitated to say it whenever he saw me crying over one of our figths. Our allegattions got to a point were i didn’t even tried to say a word... i just was listening to his words and i didn’t even cared... thus i stoped talking with him. There’s where my mother started to genuinly worry about me, because i always looked so tired and beatdown, she started to talk to me a lot more and whenever i returned from school she always asked me “how my day was”... i don’t know if it was too late or what... but it felt werid, like it was forced or something, so i just said the strictly neccesary. I started middle school and things were different for a change... The whole zone was different, there were guards, there was order and “peace”, also the guys and girls over there seemed different... like they had interests and did some other “cool and interesting things” like sports, playing an instrument or things like that. I loved that. And for once in my life i felt quite at peace, but i couldn’t talk with anyone. I didn’t knew how to do it, i felt anxious all the time and i had nothing in my head... “just do good in school” “you are returning to your home regardless...”. Fortunaly for me there was just one guy and one girl that were somehow able to go trough the mix of my insecurity and me not talking at all... i don’t know what they saw on me or what lead them to talk to me... one ended up being my 1st girlfriend (trough 12-14) (i don’t talk with her anymore due to how things happened...) and the guy as of today remains my best friend. That girl was very special for me... She was my introduction to so many new things. Trust, actively talking with somebody, a lot of new stuff (music, sports, knowledge etc) that i was totally ignorant of, sex and of course “love”. I GOT TO OPEN A VERY BIG PARENTHESES HERE. (Yes, i know that those things might seem totally rushed for a 12 year old child, and yes, i do agree, in fact if i could i would do things totally different, but i think i did things like i did because i didn’t had a good guidance, i didn’t had good advice per say, i didn’t even knew how to act or what to say... i just kinda went with the moment with the best of my judgment and the logic that i had, do i regret it? maybe some things, but others taught me valuable lessons at such a young age. Do i think it is right for a 12 year old to get introduced in such things as sex, “LOVE” (*big laugh*) or such complex topics as those? Absolutely not, i wouldn’t want my kids to experience those things. Now i know that i might sound super ridiculous talking this way about my 12 year old self, maybe i didn’t word things like i do now back then, but the feeling remains the same. So yeah.... back on. This girl and i developed a quite unusual relationship, mainly because we understood each other so well (his dad died because of alcohol poisoning and her mom was the only family she had) so as soon as i heard her story i could relate, i had this feeling that i should protect her, i didn’t quite knew why, i just felt it, and so we became “very close friends”. The time moved on and she helped me to get out of my shell, to start talking with more friends, we spent so much time together alone doing homework or listening to music just laying in the floor in her house, because her mother was working and my parents thought that i was with my other friend (wich they got to know, but as of this date they don’t know a thing about this girl) The things in my house were just falling apart, to the point were i made up excuses like “i have to do extra homework” in order to be as little as possible in my house and more around my friends and her. Despite all this i still maintaned excellent grades and i was still very participative in extra curricular things in my school such as poetry, music and such, but it was around 12-13 were something started to feel weird, i started to gradually lose interest in school and started doing it “just because i would get into serious trouble with my parents if i didn’t deliver them good grades” and that feeling was growing stronger and stronger, to the point that i was in a bad mood all the time, i once again stoped talking with everyone except this girl. This thing got into my head so bad that i yelled at my biology teacher (wich was my favorite assignment) one day without any apparent reason and started crying desperatly in his arms as he was trying to comprehend why i was acting like that all of the sudden... he asked me “Are things in your house ok?” And i just didn’t respond. That day something snapped in my mind. I’m not quite sure what, but ever since that day all i can think about is how the things that surround us, everything and everyone, all the words, all the actions, all that we see and hear, from music to tv, everything that we are exposed to... how those things have such a big repercussion in how we act and feel and mostly who we end up being in life. Time passed and to sum things up... i got my heart broken. The girl ended up being with somebody else (i don’t like the word “cheating”) And end of story. This is where i found out that i could be very extremist with people that let me down, to the point were i just... pretend that they are dead and that’s it, nothing more, nothing less, i end up denying any kind of relation-story and existence of people that have let me down, in fact, this is the first time that i talked about her “in depth”, with other times just being a “yes i had a gf before...” “Yes, i’m not a virgin” “Yes we were such good friends” and the “tragic story about how all ended”, to my friend and inevitably to my next Gf. It does take a lot to let me down though, i don’t tend to hate on anyone, i like to respect everyone as much as i can, all their ideals, their decisions, preferences and such, but when somebody hurts someone without any reason... without even saying a word, without even caring about how much it could affect somebodys life... i just lose it, those type of people are not worthy of being called “humans” because humans are not supposed to be like that, not even animals are like that. This obviously added up to the issues in my house into my head, made me feel not wanted or not worthy at all, without even an explanation of what i had done wrong or anything like that, it was painful, yes it was, but at the same time the thought of “this was your first time, this was just your first love, it was obviously not going to work out” remained in my head... the thing is... i do know that things are not supposed to work out the first time... but it wasn’t the fact that didn’t work out what messed me up, it was the “how” things ended up not working out what really affected me. Either way, it cost me a lot to got over that but thanks to a couple of friends and a new hobby i got introduced to thanks to one of them (drums) i could do it. Fast forward to the end of the second year of middle school and there i was.. Still being the best in the school, but without any kind of fullfilment or sense of actual pride for it, not even doing it for the sake of “learning” or enjoying it. -Even though it never got clinically confirmed or anything like that at that time (mainly because my parents never had interest in therapy/dental care plus we couldn’t quite afford it at the time) i think i have been suffering from severe depression from that point up until this day (were i can now say that yes, i’m seeing a neuropsycologist and im under treatment)- Thing’s got way worse when i broke my wrist one day playing football outside in the flea market where my parents and i went to work on the weekends, i took that day “off” and started to play football with some random strangers in an open field, i fell off and landed badly and broke my left wrist... i quickly went back to the food truck with my parents expecting to leave as soon as possible because my “S” shaped wrist... But no, they told me that i had to wait 2+ hours until they finished some stuff... and yes... i waited there, in pain and trying not to scream my lunges out. All that was going trough my head was “I’m not going to be able to practice the drums ever again”. But then a random thought poped in my mind, it made me very angry and turned all my pain into straight up burning anger and discomfort and yet again numbness and it goes like this... “WHY AM I WAITING TO RECEIVE ATTENTION FROM MY PARENTS FOR A BROKEN WRIST, IS IT REALLY MORE IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO WAIT? SHOULDN’T I BE THEIR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AT LEAST NOW? 2+ passed until i was finally receiving some medical attention, the rest is history, that injury rendered me useless from practicing guitar (it’s not that i can’t play it, but it hurts a LOT) and i stoped playing drums due to a mental block that i self imposed in my brain. I felt so bad that whole year i was in a cast, that was my first birthday that i didn’t feel like celebrating, in fact that was the start of me feeling certain aversion or repulsion towards my birthday, i spent that day alone, just listening to music all day and laying in my bed. 15... That age marks the age that i had my first beer. Why? I don’t know. I certainly didn’t do it because i was feeling ok. Like i previously said... my dad was an alcoholic, i’ve seen how it can change somebody so quickly, making them senseless pieces of meat or straight up useless sacks of organs. So let’s just say that i’ve always had a certain depiction of alcohol in my brain since i was a little kid... it’s bad and there’s nothing benefitial about it... sure it can help you to socialize with certain kind of people but yeah... it’s not my thing, i even used to call beer “the devil’s piss” when i was a little kid... So how on earth that very fabric of myself got broken that day? Easy. I wasn’t feeling alright, i felt like i wanted to cease to exist or just go to sleep and never wake up again. Even my friends (who were super cool about me not wanting to drink a drop) acted very surprised when i just grabbed a 40 and chugged it all without even hesitating. All of them asked almost at the same time... are you ok? I just responded yeah, i just wanted to know what is it about it that you like it so much,nothing else. One of my best friends (who knew just a fraction of the things that were happening at my house and how i felt overall just looked me in the eye and prounonced a sentence that i think i will never forget: We both now why you are drinking... and it’s not the way.) I just kept drinking. And so i started (without knowing) to be an alcoholic at the age of 15. I was known for being a “tank” a term i think is associated with how fast can you drink or something, i don’t know. But something very weird happened, i never got a hangover, i never passed out, i never even went to bed, i just remained silent watching everyone sleep and once again getting lost in my thoughts, istarted to have problems with my sleep schedule some days only sleeping 2 hours, and i was not longer spacing out... i was straight up “blacking out” (having episodes or lapses of time were you don’t remember what you were doing or saying)and i started to have delusions of somebody following me, started to talk with myself as if i was another person and overall just drifting away slowly. 15-20 years. ************************************************* It’s been 4-5 hours since i started writing this stuff. It’s exhausting to say the least. I’ll cover up this time-span some other day... It’s the roughest i think, especially last year. If someone actually reads this... thanks for your time, if you want to say something feel free to do it, whatever it is. Do know that I’m in a “not so bad” place right now. I’m still dealing with some old and some pretty new stuff (that is actually the reason why im creating this thing in the first place...) but the point of all this is for me to get to know me a little better, re-learn from myself and my mistakes and hopefully improve with my life from now on, i certainly don’t want to feel like i’m feeling right now forever. And if i feel this is “something i need to do ™” (hahah) to make me feel better, then so be it... I’ll do anything to feel happy for once. But as of right now I’ll go to sleep. ...Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem...
