I have no idea what made me start watching AlRawabi School for Girls. I fall asleep to watching TV (I know, I know) & needed something to watch, it was pink, they're speaking Arabic, holy shit?? that's as far as I thought. Sometimes I like just choosing something at random, go out of my comfort zone or expectations. I didn't read about it, I just played it. I do recommend watching it, but wow. It hits REALLY HARD. I was not fucking prepared for any of it. It is not a light watch, it is triggering as hell, it just grabs you right by the throat & does not let go. And it does it all against near pristine pink backdrops, which is maybe my favorite commentary of it all, bc that is really what misogyny does in the first place, across the world. This is not my culture, I'm a white American man, but for whatever my opinion after watching it counts, I'll just say that I think it was fucking incredible. I think it showcased really well the nuances of bullying & all the forms it holds, from the teenage girls, their families, society. 'Bullying' doesn't even sound like a big enough word for it all. Violence against women in its forms. It's something you watch & just sit in absolute stunned silence by the end. It has fucked me up & I'm pretty sure that was its goal.
so... what was that ending? can someone enlighten me?
yes i watch shitty reality tv but oh my god i’m watching selling sunset s4 and the VICTIM COMPLEX on christine is INSANE. god yt women are crazyyyy
hey writers! OneLook Thesaurus lets you find that word you can’t think of but can describe! go check it out!
so..ahem,,, does anybody remember bakugan
okay, okay, okay. let me say something about this new marvel show:
Kate Bishop is a two-time state champion of fencing, got her black belt at fifteen years old (been doing it since she was five), and has been doing archery since she was around eleven (???), and yet she still can’t fight. She has no real world training when it comes to an actual fight. It’s so refreshing because even Peter Parker knew how to fight and he’s just some kid from queens. (Like who taught him??) Seeing Kate Bishop not know how to fight, and she’ll learn from Clint, is really fun. I can’t wait for more.
I want to show some love for phastos BC HE HELD IT MF DOWN that man lost hope but regained it again and is truly one of the coolest characters and one of the smartest and I love to fucking see it I hope to see more of his family in the future films bc he was one of my favorites his small character arc was so meaningful and Chloe zhao did amazing with his characterization love that for him.
I just finished re-watching Best Friends Whenever on Disney Plus, and it ended like that???? All four of them got the power to time travel by group hugging (and I love their friendship, by the way, the healthiest I've ever seen on any Disney show) and then it just ends!!! Like, the adventures we could have had. The places we could have visited. Disney, bring it back! What the hell???
(Disney doesn't have to bring it back. I know Ricky Garcia, who played Naldo, has bad memories of the company on account of being SA'd multiple times while working on the show. But it would have been nice to have a proper ending.)
yea those are all good points I think it’s up to your imagination for the rest. I do want a explanation for his weird flying thing in ep 14,18 and 19 no one comments on it...
No, because where did he get the ability to travel anywhere he wants whenever he wants?? Man’s can literally phase in and out of the world and no one bats an eye. I get that he’s dramatic but I need some explanation for that. I wonder if it’s something he got from Naga…
ALL right your perky! why is masquerade your boy(did I make Christmas come early)?
(Yes, you did!)
I don’t really know why I like Masquerade so much. There’s not much we learn about him in the show aside from the fact that he’s a genius at Bakugan strategy, wants to take over the world, is cyclical, and is the alter ego of Alice. But for some reason I really really liked him. Both him and Alice don’t get that much screen time after Season 1–and a lacking amount in Season 2– but they were definitely more interesting than the others. Like how does the sweetest girl in the world end up with such a twisted personality? Why is Masquerade fully human while Hal-G is a monster? Why does it seem like Alice and Masquerade are on two opposite spectrums of the gender binary, and why does that create such different persons? Why couldn’t they be separated? How come Masquerade never came to the conclusion that he was Naga’s chess piece, and he’d be thrown out like trash after the worlds combined?
It was a very confusing thing. And despite barely being seven years old when I first met Masquerade, his character stuck with me for years. I had so many unanswered questions. But after a while, I realized that he’s just a normal kid. Sure, he was born of evil. But if you were told your whole life who you’ll become, would you do anything to try and stop it?
So yeah, I just felt like Masquerade deserved more. He deserved having a friend. And Alice could have been that one friend. But I guess we’ll never know
oh totally forgot kpop. don’t know how. it’s a big part of my life. i’m going to put all the groups in the tags, it’s a lot so…
how many fandom’s do you like?
Oh, wow so many. Let’s start with different channels:
Cartoon Network: any show from the early 2000-10s to Craig of the Creek; plus any anime that was on it like Bakugan and Beyblade
Disney: early 2000-10s sitcoms, TOH, GF, Ducktales (2017), Big Hero 6/MCU, etc.
Nickelodeon: Spongebob, some old sitcoms by D*n Schn*ider, Henry Danger is the last show
For fandoms outside of TV, I’ve seen Camp Camp, Ever After High; used to watch Mianite videos; listen to multiple broadway musicals (Hamilton, Heathers, ITH, DEH, 21 Chump Street, Kinky Boots); watched some shows for stay at home moms like Roseanne, That 70s Show, the Goldbergs, the middle, etc.
I am not avid in book fandoms except for the Artemis Fowl Series (don’t speak of the film).
For the anime that I care about: Bakugan, Beyblade, Fire Force, Magi, JJBA, PPP Mermaid, Haikyuu, HXH, Ass Class, and Azumanga. There’s a few more but I really don’t participate in the fandom for those anime, I just watch them and move on.
This is just a handful of stuff I remember. I try to join fandoms often. I’ll try to put a full list in the tags

Okay so….
Um, on the 15th of October, last Friday, my dad passed away. He had gallbladder cancers nd it’s got so bad that the doctors weren’t sure what to do. So they put him in home hospice care. Less than a week later, he died at home. I watched him die. As such, I am currently in mourning. It gets easier every day but that doesn’t mean it’s not hard. I am 18 years old (haven’t started college cause I took a semester off to take care of him), I have a 21 year old brother and a 17 year old brother. My mom is now a widow at 52 with three kids who are barely grown. I have to find some way to help her and fanfiction does not make money.
I am not sure when or if I will update my fan fictions. Please do give me time as I am in passing. And as an 18 year old, I am still not sure how to deal with ANY of this. I will try to update my stories when I can even if it doesn’t fit in the season it should. It might not be up to the quality it had before. But thank you for reading my stories and waiting.
I promise to update soon.
this post is one of the reasons why i have masquerade wear glasses in my fic because i can’t imagine him without a mask on
cursed concept: masquerade but without the mask
I have absolutely nothing to offer for Bakugan Ship Week/Month but I better read some good Shun/Alice shit!!!
The way I’ll make this Masquerade
Characters that have never experienced affection before, or haven’t experienced it in a long time, finally getting to experience it? Top tier.
Said character freezing up for a second, not really knowing how to respond, but not wanting it to stop? T o p t i e r.
Said character trying to clumsily return the affection in their own way, because this is Good and they don’t want it to stop? T O P T I E R.
Awww. Little chills
Happy father day!
I wanted to draw something fast for ben and his lil chills <3
Let me share with you the personalities i give them.
The two out of frame taking a nap are always together and are usually sleeping or thinking.
The lil chill eating spoons is very reliable.
The shy chill holding a green book is the one who is always afraid of asking what he wants. Usually is Rook who help him to say what they need to say.
The lil chill next to ben’s leg is very smart but he is always bored
From lil chills on ben’s lap, the lil angry chill is very feisty, the lil chill in the middle is the smallest one and the smartest, and the one on the right is very sensitive.
From the lil chills on the top, the one of ben’s left shoulder is the sweetest, but it’s hard for them to stay still, the lil chill over Ben’s right shoulder is the quiet one, he has great hearing. The lil chill over ben’s head is the most chaotic of all of them, and he adores Carl.
The lil chill in the back holding the DS console has the same personality of ben from the OS.
The lil chill looking weird to ben is the skeptical one, he still doesn’t understand why their dad/mom looks human sometimes, they love ben but they are confused lol
And the lil chill with the hood is the “matured one”, he is very calm and wise for their age.
Chapter 12. Take a break after this one. Get some tissues, I guess.

Bakugan fans, I delivered on my promise. I wrote the story where Alice and Masquerade are separate people after BBB and now they're living their lives as "adopted" siblings. This is just the first chapter of at least twenty.

WHY is writing these next two chapters so difficult??? One is happy yet tense, and the other is sad yet laidback. I’m so frustrated by writer’s block…
Chapter 10!!! Shit changes! Dan is in danger!

Now, if I do this for my Masquerade/Dan ship, would that make me a bad person???
The prompts have now officially been selected! All ships, whether popular or rare, are welcomed so go crazy! Whether you’re a fan of the original show or the reboot, I hope you’ll join the fun ;-)

Y’all when I was writing Chapters 6 and 7, I thought they were short. Before I published them, the fanfiction only had around 10,000 words. I added this two chapters and it jumped to 16,000. What the hell did I write about???
