keep dreaming! – gojo satoru
Tumblr media
synopsis. down bad? … it’s gojo satoru!
contents. fluff, lovesick!gojo, he basically has a wet dream of you, you wear tinted lip balm, your first kiss w him (??), suguru plays devil’s advocate
notes. remember spring days!au but can be read alone. anyways, enjoy!! I am writing this while sick (yikes). also of course this wouldn’t be canon compliant if i had not included satoru and suguru’s dynamic! I tried my best to apply their interactions during the basketball match + while theyre leaving jujutsu tech as much as i can.
Tumblr media
“satoru…” you murmur, looking up at him shyly. the two of you find yourselves alone in the classroom. a greedy smile plays on his lips, and you struggle to formulate words as your eyes travel from his cerulean ones to his lips. satoru can barely contain his excitement, the anticipation radiates from him like an electric charge.
“say it, [name]. tell me what you want.” he whispers back at you seductively, his eyes are spellbound onto yours. you whine before grabbing the collar of his uniform and pulling him onto you. your lips are soft, so soft. you were made for him, he’s sure, as your lips mold together. as a matter of fact, your lips are so soft that they feel eerily like his pillow–
"get up! we’re late to our mission!" suguru hits the top of satoru’s head with the spare pillow on his bed. the white haired boy immediately activates his innate technique to block his best friend’s attacks.
it was going to be a long day.
Tumblr media
“it’s unlike you to wake up so late.” suguru’s hands pause over the shoji door of the classroom. his concern for gojo was more important than the imminent lecture they were going to receive from yaga for their tardiness. “plus you totally sucked today.”
their mission had taken an unexpected turn for the worse when the pair had found themselves stuck in an incomplete domain. the narrow escape was only possible as a result of suguru’s quick thinking with rainbow dragon.
the bandaid on satoru’s cheek is a silent testament to the mission gone wrong.
“i’ve just been tired.” satoru mumbles quietly, heat rising to his cheeks as the memory of the dream flashes in his mind. he was too deep in thought to counter his friend’s insult.
something was definitely wrong. suguru raises his eyebrows, “and it has nothing to do with the fact that i caught you making out with your pillow?”
“i– what?” the heat has spread from his cheeks to all over his face. he hopes his sunglasses cover the blush that was blossoming on his face. suguru lets out a breath of relief. satoru’s blush meant that the matter at hand was only trivial…
“don’t tell me you were dreaming of [name],” his best friend smiles knowingly. satoru groans. suguru definitely knew, he was just playing with him at this point.
their conversation is cut short when the doors slide open by themselves to reveal a certain brown haired girl with a distasteful look on her face.
“satoru is having wet dreams of [name]?” shoko remarks quietly, making sure her comment is only heard by the two males. “i would act surprised, but it’s not like you’re above it.”
“just who do you think i am?” satoru looks down at his friend.  
“a real pervert.” shoko simply replied before quickly making her way back to the desk next to yours. 
satoru’s eyes follow her and make their way onto you. like a fly making its way into a honey trap, he can’t seem to look anywhere else. too busy burning the image of you absorbed in your textbook, he absorbs every little detail from the way your soft lips slightly part to mouth the words of the book to the way your leg bounces underneath the table. were you using a new lip balm? there was a subtle shade difference from your usual choice. gojo makes a mental note to ask you for the exact brand for… personal reasons.
in his trance, satoru fails to notice yaga’s scolding. he had also failed to notice how suguru had already made his way into a desk.
“satoru since you seem so eager to continue standing, i assume you volunteer to solve this equation.” yaga angrily taps the blackboard with a worn out price of chalk. 
satoru stiffens up, not because of yaga’s wrath, but because your attention has shifted from the textbook to him. you blink up at him, the image dangerously similar to his dream. satoru gulps, eyes quickly flitting to the equation messily written on the board. 
at least math equations don’t make him feel like his heart is beating out of his chest.
Tumblr media
it didn’t take a genius to notice how quiet satoru has been today. as if he were in his own world, you notice.
“i fear that i may have been giving satoru too much attention lately,” you mutter to your two other friends, mind running laps trying to recall all of the intimate moments you have spent with the white haired fiend— all of which could be characterized as highly inappropriate. 
“you always do,” suguru lazily rests his chin on the palm of his hand on the desk across from you. after yaga’s lecture, the seats had been rearranged appropriately so that the four of you could enjoy lunch together. “lay some of your love on us too.” he gestures his chopsticks to himself and shoko who were sitting side by side.
one could argue that the subtle smirk playing on suguru’s lips were a lot more dangerous than satoru’s. you’re afraid that suguru has started a game that will only end with your downfall.
the silver tongued boy seemed to catch satoru’s attention with his comment.
“ha– mad that you don’t pull? get your own girl,” satoru speaks up for the first time, glaring at his best friend through half lidded eyes from above his dark glasses. the half eaten melonpan in his hand was long forgotten.
“last i checked, [name] wasn’t your girl,” suguru places his chopsticks back down on his bento box. 
you could’ve sworn you saw an irk mark appear on the side of gojo’s face. 
shoko, who had been watching the scene unfold, sips on her juicebox silently. your eyes anxiously flit between the two boys.
“if you’re still mad about that mission, step outside. it’s not like i’m the one savin’ our asses every time.” satoru grits his teeth. 
the loud sound of suguru’s chair screeching on the wooden floor reverberates in the mostly empty room, “you and your uncouth mouth,” he accuses satoru.
shoko flees the scene. smart girl. 
you were about to follow her, but suguru holds out a hand for you to stop,
“i’m just about done anyway. please, don’t cut your meal early on my account,” he looks down at you and your full bento box. the black haired boy leaves no room for discussion when he turns his back to leave the classroom. 
when the shoji doors are slammed shut by suguru, your head whips to satoru who resumes eating his strawberry melonpan. 
“what was that? you’ve been acting strange, satoru– what happened on that mission?”
“don’ worry ‘bout it,” you barely make out the words coming out of his mouth that is full as he munches on the pink bread. 
you scoff, “you can’t just expect me to ignore the argument you just had with suguru. and that ugly bandaid on your face?” you point at the skin-colored bandage haphazardly placed on his face. upon further inspection, you also notice the growing eyebags on his face. it was truly peculiar to see any blemish on satoru’s perfect face.
he pouts, “are you calling me ugly?” satoru doesn't take pleasure in upsetting you, but the gradual way you leaned closer to him sparked an unexpected thrill within him.
“no, i’m worried about you. you’re being weird, satoru.” he was far from ugly.
as your back faces the window, the outside light casts an otherworldly glow around you.
“well, aren’t you an angel?” he tilts his head as he leans back in his seat, completely enamored.
“you never stop, do you? you’ve been completely out of it all day!” your scrutinizing gaze zeroes in on gojo who was mindlessly nodding with a dazed out smile on his face. “and judging by the way you’re all bandaged up, suguru was probably right! i mean you totally got roughed up. the great gojo satoru, wounded.” 
satoru blushes at your angry face. he’d say something indecent, but he fears that it would only scare you away. if only you knew that the reason he was all messed up was because of you.
“it's partially your fault, y'know.” cerulean eyes blink at you sheepishly before being replaced by a newfound mischievous look.
he doesn’t miss the way your anger shifts into confusion.
"excuse me?"
satoru continues, “if it weren't for you appearing in my dream i wouldn't have been distracted by that incomplete domain.” he points to the bandage cut just below his right eye.
“dreaming of me now, gojo?" you raise an eyebrow. the uncomfortable heat that was starting to rise onto your face at the new revelation that gojo dreams about you is ignored.
satoru looks away, "can you really blame a guy?"
you huff, ignoring his comment, “i think yaga has a first aid kit somewhere in the closet.” you make your way to check out the forgotten door in the back of the classroom. 
the cool sterility of medical supplies contrasts with the charged atmosphere left behind in the classroom.
when you do come back with the kit, your heart races, praying he won't notice the hitch in your breath as your fingers delicately tend to the nearly healed scratch beneath his cheek. satoru's ability to evoke strange emotions within you is undeniable.
silence envelops the classroom, broken only by satoru's deep breaths. you're so close that you can almost feel the warm gusts of air from his breath on your face.
"your body healed remarkably fast. i'm not surprised," you softly observe, your focus on the task at hand. satoru smiles, his eyes fixed on your concentrated features.
"yeah? well, i have an excellent nurse," he remarks, tapping the freshly placed bandaid on his cheek. "though it seems she missed one of my injuries."
you furrow your eyebrows. satoru points to his expectant lips, a playful pout on his face.
"no," you plainly state.
"aw, c'mon. kiss it better? i almost died today," he pleads, his eyes silently begging. you shake your head, unaware that it was your fault he nearly lost his head during the mission.
"you really want a kiss?" you repeat, catching on to his persistent request.
he nods fervently, his excitement palpable. was that even a question
you think he was pretty insane– requesting kisses from a fellow peer.
“satoru..” you murmur, leaning closer to him. his eyes were twinkling with excitement. the two of you were all alone, left with nothing but each other. this scene was all too familiar. 
the sides of his lips quirk up into a smirk while he watches your eyes travel all around his face. satoru has been fantasizing about this moment since the moment he laid eyes on you.
“[name],” he says, his voice softer than ever, a privilege reserved for those closest to him—especially you.
just a few more inches and your lips will meet… just a few…
slap!
satoru blinks in shock while you giggle at his confusion. he attempts to ask what just happened, but his mouth is sealed. his hand rises to find a bandaid now on his lips.
“you’re cuter when you shut up.”
 you seal your words with a soft kiss placed on his bandaged mouth.
...
gojo satoru explodes, his voice muffled by an adhesive barrier.
“m.rrry.. m.. mph..mph!”
Tumblr media
extra: 
all conflicts were resolved by evening when you had strategically set up a mario kart tournament.
right after you (indirectly) kissed gojo, you fled the scene, leaving a flustered satoru all hot and bothered. you ended up screaming into your pillow.. the same pillow that satoru was laying on not too long ago.

Utter Chaos
Oof, this may be the dumbest and most chaotic thing I've ever written. I'm writing the second part to the fic where the Party forgot Steve's birthday so stay tuned. Please leave your thoughts in the comments!
~*~*~*~
Robin was his best friend, his ride or die, his Platonic soulmate with a capital P. He knew she still wasn’t comfortable enough  to come out to the Party just as he wasn’t. So when she accidentally made a gay comment that outed herself, of course Steve jumped to focus everyone’s attention on himself. 
Robin was talking to Nancy about the failures of dating or something when it happened. She laughed at Nance’s comment about having crushes on poor choices. 
“Yeah, I had a crush on Vickie until I found out she had a boyfriend.” Robin’s eyes widened as soon as she realized what she said. 
“I mean-“ her panicked eyes whipped over to Steve’s and he knew he had to fix it. 
“How’d you get over it? My crush on Eddie just won’t go away.” He asked, sounding confident and nonchalant but his insides were riling. 
His words caused Eddie to suck in a deep breath of air and start choking. Steve looked at him and patted his back which only seemed to make the choking worse. 
“Dude, are you okay?” Eddie just gave an undignified whimper in response. 
Nancy’s eyes narrowed on Steve, “so what, you’re gay now?”
He felt oddly defensive in the face of her scrutiny and narrowed his eyes in retaliation. “No, I’m half-gay. What’s it to you?”
Robin cut Nancy off from the tirade that was sure to come, “Steve, it’s called bisexual.”
“Yeah, I’m that. I like guys and girls.”
Nancy paled a few shades, “that-that’s a thing?”
“Um yeah, obviously. I didn’t really realize it until I saw Eddie in the boat shed though.”
Eddie’s back tensed under Steve’s hand and he made a muffled shout of frustration and outrage. Steve just gave his shoulder a pat in commiseration. Yeah, he’d been there for months. Welcome to the club, Munson. 
The rest of the Party was silent. Dustin was staring between him and Eddie in unbridled glee like all of his wishes had come true. Lucas and Max looked unperturbed like they’d known for months which knowing them, they might have. Will looked hopefully ecstatic and El was smiling happily. Mike though, looked pissed. 
“That’s disgusting!” Mike yelled with his lip curled in disgust. 
“Shut the hell up, Mike!” Nancy yelled at her brother. 
Robin, Steve, and Eddie whipped their heads toward her but she just shrugged. “He shouldn’t talk to you guys like that. Plus, I’ve had a crush on Robin for weeks. I just didn’t know it was okay.”
Robin gasped obnoxiously and started hitting Steve’s shoulder over and over again. “Oh my god, oh my god, Steve! Oh my god! Can you believe this? Oh my god, no, does this violate our bro code? Oh no, she broke your heart. Of course you wouldn’t want me dating her.”
Steve just shook his head, “Robs, I just want you to be happy. I don’t mind if you want to date my ex. But if Nance hurts you like she hurt me, I’m gonna go after her and make her regret it.”
“Oh, thanks Steve!” She hugged him and he closed his eyes. At least everything had turned out right in the end. 
He didn’t notice Hopper and Joyce at the top of the stairs. They were both staring into the basement in confusion at what they’d just heard. All Hop could do was look at Joyce in utter befuddlement and mouth “what the fuck just happened?”
She just shrugged her shoulders, how the hell would she know?

Tumblr media
Willow Month 2023: Day 3 - Favorite Episode This is a tough call for me, because it's very close. I love Episode 7: Across the Shattered Sea because it has so much gorgeous character development for everyone and so much beautiful scenery, but Episode 4: Whispers of Nockmaar just barely shades it. I think it's the whump. This ep is basically 45 minutes of whumping on poor Graydon and.... he suffers beautifully.
Tumblr media
This poor kid starts off the ep infected with dark magic. He and the group both know it will eventually corrupt his entire system, cause him to become possessed and try to kill everyone, and they will have to kill him. And they spend the first part of the episode chaining him up and not doing anything about it, except Elora comforting him.
Tumblr media
They finally decide to do something and this leads to him restrained even more, splayed out on some kind of bench. He spends a lot of time writhing and moaning in pain. They tear his shirt open while he gasps, exposing horrific scarring he feels deeply ashamed of and doesn't want to talk about, while he sweats and groans even more.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then they throw a bucket of liquid on him while he writhes around some more and it's obviously painful and I should probably just acknowledge it's not just the whump I love in this episode? They did NOT have to make this whole thing so BDSM but they really did, god bless them. Plus lovely grace notes in the script referring to him being ravaged and also reamed -_-
Tumblr media
ANYWAY we go on from here to his having hallucinations about his painful past, then the possession really starts to set in and he gets aggressive, then starts talking in the voices of loved ones to scare and distract people. Then we have a break in the action and when we get back to Graydon...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
well. all right then. Spoiler, he's fully possessed here but acting like he's not. You can tell because they flat-ironed his hair! Lol, but also he's uncharacteristically comfortable with his exposed flesh and touching other people which seems like a nice, subtle hint.
Tumblr media
Trust me, Graydon in his right mind is never leaving that many buttons unbuttoned. He leads Elora up to the tower so he can complete the banishment ritual Bavmorda was trying to do to baby Elora at the end of the movie, but then everyone else shows up and he gets whumped on some more...
Tumblr media
Literally I would die, as an actor, if I had Erin and Ruby holding me down and Amar crawling on top of me and pretending to pummel me but like. That's the biz, I guess?
Tumblr media
At any rate, Kit convinces Elora that she is magic enough to fix this, so she goes and almost-but-not-quite kisses him (she does call it a kiss later) and sucks the evil out of him. He tells her he never doubted her, and the boy is clearly smitten after that
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, Elora had a vision of him shoving his brother out of a tree when he was possessed as a child and feels like he might be sketchy. So he's giving her a big smitten smile when they leave....
Tumblr media
(credit to willowgifsdaily for this gif)
...but that smile starts to falter bc she's giving him this look in return, yikes
Tumblr media
Anyway, that was good wholesome fun for the whole family and kudos to Disney+ for realizing they needed to put in a bondage-themed whumpfest to really sell me on the show! And kudos once again to my boy Tony Revolori, who sells every inch of this episode just amazingly. The emotional range is all over the place and there's no part where he falters in just performing the absolute shit out of this one. This episode changed my brain chemistry forever, I think. And that is why Whispers of Nockmaar is my favorite episode of WIllow! Send help!

dude the misogyny in pl is so bad. like just off the top of my head there's like twice the amount of plot-relavent women/girls who are dead (sophia, claire (x2), melina, rachel, aurora, des's wife, des's daughter) to the plot-relavent men who are dead (augustus, duke herzen, evan barde) like. they really took the girls behind the shed and put them down to further the men's characters 😭😭😭
it really fucking sucks like. fandom is Not Immune to Misogyny either but at least the people I've encountered over here believe the female characters deserved better (at least Flora if no one else)
(spoilers for: plvpw, lmj, lbmr, azran legacy, and miracle mask under the cut)
and there are a lot of different types of misogyny in the games too -- it isn't just the amount of female characters that are fridged (though I will say: Newton Belduke gets added to the count of male characters, and while both Mrs. Belduke and Mrs. Cantabella are dead, neither of them really fit the bill for fridging, since they're barely relevant beyond "this is how Eve and Espella exist", which is a Different misogynist trope but not fridging...) it's also:
the mishandling of Flora in DB and UF, who was shafted out of a character arc
characters like Espella and Aurora, which while prominent don't have much going for them in terms of characterization since they're more "mystery" than "character" -- you can read my essay about that here
and the fact that characters like them exist shows that PL knows they had issues with female characters and rather than actually Fixing The Problem they were like "oh! we'll just give female characters more screen time! this will fix everything!"
there's these two NPCs in Diabolical Box you interact with on the Molentary Express. they're named Steve and Mitzi. they're husband and wife. Steve has about double the amount of lines as Mitzi, despite the fact that you interact with both simultaneously. this was the example that made me want to graph the amount of lines female characters have versus the amount male characters had
why was Katrielle's game almost marketed as "Lady Layton" I know it's to give her a fancy title like Professor but like. Changing it to Layton's Mystery Journey was the right move imo, Lady Layton sounds like it's "puzzles: girl edition"
Diane Makepeace should have been the final villain of Mystery Room actually. She should have gotten to take in how completely wrong she was about Alfendi and watched her conceptions of the case crumble. It doesn't even necessarily have to be a redemption arc. She doesn't have to express remorse about killing those at least five other people. (And yes I acknowledge the racist tones of the whole "Mariana Etista" thing, these are not mutually exclusive)
this is localization specific but according to a couple friends of mine who are collaborating on a comparison between the EU-US-JP versions of Last Specter/Spectre's Call Emmy's character is very different in the US version, she speaks a lot more passively in the US version compared to the EU version which uh. Yikes
Katia's family history being mansplained by Layton since it's the "mystery" of DB
just like. they never acknowledge Hoogland's deal? like the women that were ""sacrificed to the dragonlord"" were running away from loveless marriages, sure, but why did those marriages exist to begin with? and now we (the protagonists) have taken away that escape route for women trapped in (probably) abusive relationships because the dragonlord was a lie and azran tech was causing the wind. sure we might have fixed the natural disasters but we sure didn't fix the other problems!
(I think the crossover does slightly better here by not portraying becoming a Shade as an escape for women but as kind of an empty existence, but witch burnings are always gonna be a little :/)
the general lack of female antagonists. Darklaw and Diane go a good ways towards filling that but Diane dying is :/ and while I'm fine with Darklaw being not the "final boss" because she’s also an Ace Attorney Prosecutor they just don't like girlbosses. women can be evil too
Marina Triton deserved better than what she got she is actually kind of a BAMF (going undercover in a cult that kidnapped her for years, hello??) but the ONLY reason she couldn't rescue Luke and Layton earlier was because Katrielle needed to be there in a Doyalist sense, which makes Marina knowing how to get them out of the cryochambers even weirder because if she KNEW why couldn't she have freed them EARLIER
Angela and Flora (in DB) being replaced by a male villain for a lot of their screentime (Angela was replaced by Descole after the first present-day conversation, so in all subsequent present-day scenes she’s Not There. Despite Flora being replaced by Don Paolo fairly early on in DB she actually speaks the third-most lines out of the female characters in that game...and I took out all the DP lines for that count)
but yeah the fridging is a problem, even one that persists into LMJ -- a major part of Ernest/Miles's motivations are that his mother died 🙃

...
[Stephanie sighed.] ...This is a LOT to take in.
Look, I'm-
First, you excuse of a radio, why were you HIDING this from us?!
I wasn't-
W- we would've been really fine with it, if you just told us the truth.
I didn't-
Decibro, you almost got expelled for doing that. We ALL almost got expelled because of that. My mom would've killed me...
I-
Listen, you're not gonna do that again, ya hear?
I'm not-
Again, I must ask: Why didn't you tell us you were a human, dude?! We could've avoided all of this-
IF YOU'D BE AS KIND AS TO GIVE ME SOME TIME TO SPEAK FOR MYSELF, I'd be able to explain everything.
[The room went silent, waiting for him to continue.]
Okay... So, I ...I'm not sure why I didn't say anything. I'm really not. I tried to tell Stephanie when I first got here, but she had cut me off, and I decided that it wasn't very important... Not important enough to try bringing up again, anyway.
But WHY would that- [Stephanie held up a hand to Wave, signaling the Noibat to speak again.]
I... can't remember anything. About myself, about why I'm even here, nothing. Not even my name. I can't remember any of it... It really sucks. I promise, I would've told you guys everything, if I understood what was going on, but even now, this just feels like one big prank to me. I was a human only a few weeks ago, and now, here I am.
...Yikes, dude. It sounds like a lot that you're going through. You sure you're alright with all of this?
...I'm not sure anymore. But, there's not much I can do. Once I get the acceptance letter, I'll have to leave the building, no matter the results. I learned that the Pokemon that was chasing me down is Yveltal, and they're really dangerous... On the bright side, where I'm going, the Pokemon that suggested it is willing to let you all come with me too...
...Are you sure you want to stick with this plan?
What about us? How are we gonna attend the school if we're not there?
He thought about that, too. As long as we tell Mr. Nidoking, we'll have Connection Orbs too, and we can hopefully make things work from there. You all should tell your family in the morning about what's happening. Just to make sure things are actually sailing smoothly.
... [Lucas looked away.]
By the way. We've all come up with a name for you, too. We were pretty sick of just calling you "that Noibat".
And we all decided on... Chris!
[Noibat blinked.] ...What? Why?
Well... No one really knows what to expect from someone named Chris.
And you've more than proved that... for better or for worse.
And it's a very purple-y name! And you're like, four different shades of purple!
...Chris. Chris... I like it. Thanks, guys.
Of course! You're our bud, why wouldn't we do something like that? We didn't nearly break our backs trying to cover for you because it's FUN! We care for you!
[Noibat couldn't say anything, touched by David's words. He looked away as well, not wanting to let them see him cry.]
...Thanks. Really.

Kanye West No Longer A Billionaire After Adidas Terminates Their Partnership Amid Antisemitic Comments
Tumblr media
Kanye West is no longer a billionaire.
The Chicago-born rapper has been taking a lot of Ls lately. Of course, the adversity has entirely been his own doing after multiple instances of ugly and unacceptable antisemitic comments. Now, he’s seeing the consequences of that commentary — and it ain’t good.
Related: Netflix Will NOT Remove Kanye West Doc ‘Jeen-Yuhs’ Despite Antisemitic Rants
According to Forbes, now that Adidas has terminated their relationship with the artist, his net worth no longer sits in the ten-digit range. The financial publication notes it’s not just the end of the Adidas deal that pushed Ye out of the billionaire club. Rather a combination of several things caused the checkdown — including Gap and Balenciaga walking away from the rapper, as well.
When you throw all those variables together, well, it pushes Ye back into the “hundreds of millions” group. That’s still not exactly chump change, but…
Based on Forbes‘ new estimates, they believe Ye to now be worth somewhere around $400 million. Remember, he was at somewhere near $1.3 billion over the last few years before all this terrible antisemitic commentary. So even though $400 million is still a ton of money, it’s waaaayshort of his peak valuation. Yikes!
The outlet notes most of Ye’s net worth is coming from a couple notable sources: real estate holdings, cash, and his extensive music catalog. He also owns a very small stake in ex Kim Kardashian‘s SKIMS brand. That business is a juggernaut, so it’ll help Ye along, no doubt — even though he’s not involved with the day-to-day operations or anything like that. But with things like Adidas and Gap out of the way, quite a bit of his brand has been cut off Just. Like. That.
Related: Hailey Bieber Calls Out Kanye West For Hypocritical ‘Hate Speech’
In their report from Tuesday morning, Forbes also shades the s**t out of the Jesus Walksrapper. Just read this passage (below) on how, for years, Ye has disputed the financial outlet’s claims about how much he is worth:
Removing Ye from the Billionaires’ list caps off a years-long saga between the rapper and Forbes. Ye always felt his net worth was undervalued. When he first made the list in 2020, with an estimated $1 billion fortune, Ye wasn’t happy. ‘It’s not a billion,’ he texted us at the time. ‘It’s $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.’ This pattern continued every year, with Ye continuing to complain about our low numbers.”
And their cutting commentary continued:
For this year’s valuation, Ye sent documents claiming his Adidas partnership alone was worth $4.3 billion. When Ye learned he would clock in at $2 billion overall, his unhappiness with Forbes leaked to the tabloids.”
Ouch!!
And now he’s not even close to ten figures. In fact, before these major company losses, he told Piers Morgan he was already at probably 120 million only in his account.
Money isn’t everything, but when you care about the number of zeroes as much as it seems like he does, then it sucks to suck! Especially when his awful antisemitism was the cause of his downfall!!
Thoughts, Perezcious readers??

I know u already did the mp analysis video but like... Honestly u could make an entire video on why hover sucks.
Some of the points brought up on this blog were very powerful and concerning ones. Ie hypocritically expecting nothing to support her while not offering the same, her belittling nothing's disability and abuse faced from her pride, and the most damning thing of all just straight up being okay with nothing dying? Despite joining the pride for her.
It really makes hovers big "redemption moment" devoid of any genuine emotion. She claims to all she loves nothing and this is supposed to be their coming out but... Its not. It really does read like abuser trying to convince their victim or the people around them that their desire to control and own their victim is love.
Itd be one thing if it were an ashfur type esque situation in which Hover does get called out imo the only way to start to salvage that whole plot point in the show, but i doubt itll happen.
Anyways reading the points made on the blog really emphasized how hover and her relationship with nothing never felt right to me.
Sorry for the long rant but you had some very good points and i have feelings on this.
If we hadn't talked about MP already for nearly 3 hours, a Hover-focused video would certainly be tempting.
The thing is that we've stated these points in the review and we've also stated them up and down the comments section of the review a dozen times. Hover fans still think we don't like Hover because of a single argument (which, let's be real, was still pretty shitty on its own?? lol) she had with Nothing.
Because this is what happens when you relate to a character to such an unhealthy degree. You take any kind of shade directed at them as an attack on your character and rather than idk just finding a better and more decent character to relate to, you're just in complete denial that you looked up to a character who is fundamentally a towering, uncaring bitch.
Hover actually serves as a fine example of how messed up the characterisation is in MP. She's presented as radically different from Nothing and her family so people automatically like her because she's a breath of fresh air. In reality, the reason she's radically different is because - basically - she's an unfunny edgelord character in the midst of characters we're meant to feel for and relate to, because we're meant to feel empowered by them. She doesn't fit.
In fact, this is how Hover started out: as an uncaring, aggressive edgy DeviantART OC from the late 2000s, where her crowning moment was throwing the c slur at Hobblestep (Nothing) for simply sharing her oxygen. Unfortunately, she was barely modernised in the rebooted series and this is why she comes across as an asshole. Her creator fell into the age-old trap of thinking that a character being a cool rebel comic relief means being a bitch to everyone in the vicinity. Including her girlfriend. It's a very common issue and is one I've fallen into in the past with previous works but ultimately realised it was a form of bad characterisation.
What's incredibly funny is that the creator tried to humanise Hover and tone her down later on… by having her not be a bitch and be sensitive with the WRONG characters. Like Farleap. She never criticises her for her treatment of Nothing once and, not only that, she sympathises with her and doesn't even bat an eyelid when she bitches about her dead girlfriend. What decent person does that? If anybody shit talked anyone I cared about if they went missing, I'd smack them in the mouth.
And this is why Episode 7 falls flat on its ass so heavily. It’s just trying to humanise Hover by… making her awkwardly bond with her girlfriend’s abusers and - scarily enough - actually making the audience feel they had legit chemistry. Which is all sorts of fucking yikes. lol - RJ

🤡 🍦 📚
🤡 What’s a line, scene, or exchange you’ve written that made you laugh?
Okay that's a very tough question bc I write a lot of HILARIOUS stuff.
Recently, it's definitely Break Up Silver riffing in chap 3:
"And here?” Silver forges on, firing on all cylinders. “Somebody very impressively managed to find only the worst shades of every single color. Mustard yellow, puke green, eye melting purple.” The declaration is accompanied by an exaggerated face of disgust which still manages to look appealing on Silver’s handsome features. “Yikes."
This whole exchange was SO FUN to write.
🍦 What’s the sweetest fic you’ve created so far?
Oh that's Cupcakes AU, hands down, no contest. There are some VERY sappy parts in Break Up, yes, but Cupcakes is the one and only time the boys get a no strings attached happy ending. Don't expect another, not in this economy. 😛
📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?
Okay so, it’s a bit of a complicated question for Jay.
The short answer is yes.
However, before I started writing fic, I was writing only original stuff and I basically already tried the Getting an Agent and Getting Published game.
It’s extremely difficult and the money and potential acclaim simply isn’t worth it. Like, it’s gotta be something you just really want to do/a labor of love. Also, I’ve realized that, for me, trying to eke out an existence doing something I really love will just suck the joy out of it.
So the reason the short answer is yes is like... I already sort of consider this the most important thing I’m doing? 😅 (As you can see by the GD NOVEL I’m writing with Break Up AU lmao) Whether or not I’m making money, that part doesn’t really concern me.
I have a really cool and great audience and support system based around fic and fandom. Way more ppl are reading my stuff than have the entire rest of my life. There’s no real incentive to go try professional publishing again.
But yes, writing is The most important thing in my life and it’s what I want to do. I just will also have a tolerable other job that makes money lol

Thanks for the questions love!! 😘😘😘

I want to explore my writing skills what are some good tips for a beginner? :)
Yikes... I haven't been a beginner for a really long time now so let me think about what I did to get more comfortable with my writing and how I developed my own writing style. I'm focusing on skill and not story development, because I suck at that.
One, I would say try other formats/ways of writing. Try different povs, different tenses, different genres. Try writing things with really long descriptions and then those with mostly dialogue. Try only writing action and movement and thought. Try writing different characters. A lot of this stuff is basic skills and I think it's pretty helpful to develop these to a greater extent, but to also find out what you're most comfortable writing with. It definitely helps if you're struggling with a story. Sometimes, you have to change the pov or tense. Sometimes you might have an imbalance of dialogue, plot, thought, and description. Also it's just really cool to see what you can do if with specific constraints like a specific genre or writing something where the characters don't speak at all or without any constraints at all. It's partly why I like prompts sometimes and why I like mixing up different ships lol.
Two, sharpen you're editing skills. I promise you, every thing sucks in the beginning. At least I always think so when I'm writing. It's only good when I edit (the bane of my existence). I will read every sentence out loud, since I don't know sound helps me a lot. I'm pretty auditory. I will read it in the most dramatic voice possible lol, or the pauses or extremely fast. Whatever helps and it does really help.
Three, experiment with words. How do you describe things without telling the reader what you mean. It's that show vs tell scenario, but I consider it to be a little bit more fun. Because it's a game. How can you describe that this character is ill without every using the words I feel sick? Using color is so fun, too. Shades of pink and bubblegum and watermelon. Texture. Sound. Really use those senses, but also connect them to thought and emotion. There are some really cool ways to build a scene, but I think people underestimate how many of these things can be integrated across the board. You can connect setting and context to charactization, to the characters emotion at any give time.
Four, have fun with it... because you will get frustrated. This is very cliché, but it must be said. Writing is an art as well as a skill. Anyone can do it, but not every one can do it the same. I think it's important just to keep writing, because slowly it will evolve over time. But it's also important to look beyond the product. Develop that love for the process no matter how you do it. It will sustain you longer than any of the comments, longer than the satisfaction of completing something. Write badly, because you will. I write horribly all the time. Eventually it gets good... sometimes you get hits and misses. Whatever the case is, it should have been fun to have written it.
Five, don't get caught up with length or even a specific goal. Some of the writing practices I liked to do, and some that I've done fairly recently, is to just write anything that comes to mind based on a word. Go on tangents where the objective is nowhere. Try making sense of your own thoughts and learning that the goal is futile. The piece doesn't have to be 40,000 words. It doesn't even have to be fully finished. The only qualification for a writer is that they write.
So write.

The Science Behind Teeth Whitening: Comparing Methods for a Dazzling Smile
Tumblr media
Ready to unlock the secrets to a dazzling smile? The world of teeth whitening is brimming with options for achieving that radiant grin you've always wanted. But here's the catch: to make informed decisions about your dental care, you need to dive into the science behind both traditional methods and trendy innovations like charcoal tooth whitening.
So, are you ready to embark on this journey with me? Let's explore the ins and outs of various teeth-whitening techniques to uncover the keys to achieving that brighter, more confident smile!
Understanding Teeth Discoloration:
Ever wondered why our smiles sometimes lose their sparkle? Well, it's all down to a mix of things like age, what we munch on, whether we light up, and even our genetic makeup. But fret not, because there's a solution: teeth whitening treatments! These treatments work by utilising powerful agents to break down and remove those stubborn stains, restoring the natural brilliance of our teeth. It's like giving your smile a rejuvenating makeover!
Traditional Methods:
Traditional teeth whitening methods rely on bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to restore the brightness of teeth. These chemicals work by penetrating the enamel and breaking down the stubborn stains accumulated over time, resulting in a noticeably lighter shade. While these methods are highly effective, it's essential to note that they may lead to temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation in certain individuals. Understanding these potential side effects can help individuals make informed decisions when considering traditional teeth whitening treatments.
Charcoal Teeth Whitening:
So, you've probably heard about charcoal teeth whitening, right? It's all the rage these days for getting that Instagram-worthy smile. But here's the scoop: while some swear by its stain-lifting powers, the dental community isn't entirely sold.
You see, charcoal is super porous, which supposedly helps it suck up stains and toxins from your teeth, leaving you with a gleaming grin. Sounds great, doesn't it? But hold on a sec – there's a catch. The scientific evidence backing charcoal whitening is a bit sketchy, and there are concerns about it being too rough on your enamel. Yikes!
Before you jump on the charcoal bandwagon, it's essential to weigh the pros and cons and chat with your dentist to ensure you're making the best choice for your smile. After all, your pearly whites deserve the royal treatment!
Comparative Analysis:
When comparing teeth whitening methods, several factors come into play, including effectiveness, safety, and convenience. Traditional bleaching agents are backed by extensive research and proven results but may cause temporary sensitivity. On the other hand, charcoal teeth whitening offers a natural alternative but lacks scientific validation and may pose risks to enamel health.
Safety Considerations:
Ensuring the safety of teeth whitening methods is paramount. While traditional bleaching agents are generally considered safe when used as directed, precautions should be taken to minimise potential side effects such as tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. With charcoal teeth whitening, the abrasive nature of charcoal particles raises concerns about enamel erosion and long-term oral health implications.
Choosing the Right Method:
Selecting the most suitable teeth whitening method depends on individual preferences, budget, and oral health status. Consulting with a dentist is recommended to assess candidacy for whitening treatments and receive personalised recommendations based on dental history and needs. Additionally, incorporating good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining a radiant smile long-term.
Conclusion:
Understanding the scientific nuances of teeth whitening procedures is essential to achieving safe and effective results when pursuing a brilliant smile. Although there is a lot of evidence to back the effectiveness of traditional bleaching agents, there is reason to be wary when it comes to new fads like charcoal teeth whitening.
Charcoal whitening is very popular, but it hasn't received much scientific support, which makes many wonder if it's safe and effective. Therefore, putting dental health first and consulting with experts in the field can help people choose the right teeth-whitening procedure, ensuring a bright smile that radiates self-assurance and energy while minimising hazards.

I hope these are coming out alright, but I'm quickly exhausting myself fussing over whether it "looks like a Pokémon". I am trying, though can't tell if I'm trying too hard, or not hard enough. ^^;
Consistency-Yikes aside, here's the second stage of the Gnux line's Summer Variant (as opposed to the stage 2 Winter one). I keep reminding myself that this issue is self-inflicted since I'm going out of my way to be as muddled and confusing as possible with these designs (more details on that in the other posts). >v<;
Cutesy Flavor text - in case I suck at communicating just with visuals: the uppermost illustration is of it wobbling on its back fretfully, wanting "uppies". This stage is kind-of-helpless when not glued to a high branch out of predators' reach, via the "feet-shaped" amber-like substance oozing out of its shell.
At any rate, I do feel better about this pass than my take 2.5 (under the cut). I'm going to finish this... just one more stage for each variant to go. I've got this.
I didn't even get to the shading stage here... just wasn't feeling it, even though I was kind of going for that middle stage awkwardness... the use of space was too yuck, the poses were extra-stiff and I could not get the feet to look at-all decent. (while the original feet shown here were with the context that it was perched on a branch, I decided to go with something more standalone-friendly in the final)

I suck at wearing a full face of makeup, which is why I only do eye stuff, but I got a few of samples of something that I ended up really liking, despite the darkest shade in the sample pack being least two shades too light (it’s this stuff, in Formosa) and yikes, a full bottle is close to $50.
