look I know this looks like shit but I saw this tiktok and just. had to Jin Sibs it.
Mo Xuanyu loves this shit because heās a gremlin who thrives off causing chaos.Ā
Qin Su is in the weird position of being the JGS Bastard Elephant In The Room that the wider Jin family donāt really want to acknowledge, but also donāt want to upset in case she causes any more scandal,Ā so for her, Jin family gatherings are low risk, high entertainment value.Ā
Jin Zixuan struggles, because he was brought up to respect and care about the opinions of these peopleā¦ but he also knows theyāre awfulā¦ but he also hates drama and rocking the boatā¦ but he also hates seeing his siblings treated shittilyā¦ mostly he is on Interrupt In A Loud And Timely Manner If People Are Being Assholes To Meng Yao duty
Meng Yao objectively has the worst time because he has basically designated himself the person who runs Interference for the siblings at gatherings, and he also really fucking hates confrontation, so does his best to keep the peace no matter how awful their relatives are to himā¦ up until a point, when heās exhausted enough not to give a shit anymore, and he retreats to a bathroom with a bottle of wine in each hand and his boyfriends on speed dial, and tells Xuanyu to do his worst.Ā

Iāve been drawing Eddie and Chrissy lately :)! The first one is a sketch for an idea I have where its a hellcheer version of Francis Tipton Hunterās āHelping with Homework,ā and the last one is a bit of a continuation of Eddie and Chrissy exchanging mixtapesāChrissy is listening to ZZ Topās āPearl Necklace.ā Also, Iām not sure if anyone else remembers Schoolhouse Rock! (it was already old when I was a kid), but it was an American educational program from the 70s and I thought it might be cute for them to bond over it - ā3 is a magic numberā is a personal favorite (x)!
more Chrissy & Billy bestie headcanons from yours truly!! btw hereās more headcanons and the original post
ā¢ Billy is both disgusted and amazed at the fact that Chrissy doesnāt own any black clothing - except a dress she has in the back of her closet, but thatās just for funerals (her exact words). He immediately takes her to the thrift store to find a soft-yet-metal outfit she can wear to Corroded Coffinās show that weekend.
ā¢ For Chrissyās birthday, Billy buys her a pair of little hoop earrings that have a small, delicate flower dangling from them. She gives him one of the two, saying itās so they can match, and he wears it every day for a week because heās never had best friend jewelry until now. When he thinks Neil has seen it, he immediately switches it out and keeps the earring safe in is dresser.
ā¢ When Chrissy thinks of a new cheer routine, she always runs it by Billy first. Not because he knows anything about cheer, but because heās painfully honest. Sheāll sit him down in the garden at her parentās house and have her pompoms in her hands as she does her routine, smiling as Billy watches her silently behind his aviators, a lit cigarette pinched between his fingers. He used to bitch about it at first but now secretly enjoys it because sheās genuinely happy the entire time she does it, and he does point out where she can kick higher or move more.
ā¢ Billy loves to call Chrissy āMiss American Pieā or just āMiss Americaā because it annoys her. He wears a big, smug grin whenever he pulls up to her cheer practice and calls to her, āHey! Miss America! Get your ass in here!ā And all her cheer friends giggle at her as she scrunches her nose at him, making her way to the Camaro for her ride home.
ā¢ (tw mention of abuse) Chrissy is doing a face mask one night when Billy comes knocking at her window, his cheek red and swollen, his eyes and nose just as red from crying. She pulls him into a fierce hug after he climbs into her room and rubs at his back, letting him softly cry into her shoulder. Once heās composed himself a bit, but is still not ready to talk, sheāll give him a soft smile and offer to put the mask on him. āIt might help your cheek?ā She whispers, and Billy is very hesitant at first, because that kinda stuff is for girls, but heās desperate for comfort so he lets her apply it. It doesnāt help his cheek but it does feel nice to have her pamper him a little, to soothe the pain that his father created. They do face masks at last once a week after that.
ā¢ They love going on double dates with their boyfriends. Steve and Billy like going to the movies because they can hold hands the entire time without anyone noticing, while Chrissy and Eddie like to go bowling (theyāre lowkey a competitive couple). Regardless of what they do, itās always a fun time.
ā¢ When theyāre feeling angry at something or each other, Billy drives them down the highway and they scream-sing āShout At the Devilā by Mƶtley CrĆ¼e as many times as they need to.
ā¢ The first time Billy sleeps over at Steveās, Chrissy is the first to know. The first time Chrissy kisses Eddie, Billy is the first to know.
ā¢ Chrissy loves reading her teen magazines and making Billy do the quizzes in it, asking each question out loud then reading him his results. Heās either appeased or says itās total bullshit - thereās no in between.
ā¢ Billy introduces Chrissy to KISS but itās Eddie that solidifies her love for the band when he makes a fool out of himself singing āI Was Made For Lovin Youā to her.
ā¢ Chrissy keeps whatever items Billy canāt keep at home in her room, because she wants him to have things he wants without having to worry about Neil finding them. One of the items is a photo booth strip of Steve and Billy, smiling and laughing and kissing, along with a small, green, stuffed teddy bear that Steve gave to Billy on that same date. All of Billyās special belongings go into a little box in her closet, where theyāre kept safe.
ā¢ (tw ed mention) Billy notices that Chrissy avoids certain foods and he notes them in a journal, because he doesnāt want to upset her by having her accidentally eat them. He also goes out of his way to remove any packing on food so she canāt see the nutrition label, instead offering her the food in a napkin or on a plate. She catches on right away and is touched that heād even go to such lengths for her.
ā¢ Max and Chrissy love to annoy Billy at the same time any chance they get because heās insufferable to them all the time. Billy hates how mischievous they can get, whispering to each other with matching grins, but heās also very thankful that they get along so well. Chrissy is definitely a huge help when Max and Billy begin to repair their relationship.
man's name is bible and his whole fandom definitely isnt religious
P.S : His name is biblesumett but I've always read it biblesmut .

Incredibly fucking crucial information for Americans where period tracking digitally is concerned: DELETE YOUR DATA, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND DELETE YOUR APPS
Wait whatās a buildings fire evacuation plan if you arenāt supposed to use the elevator to get down
You go down the stairwell/fire escape. Is that weird?
But what if you have a walker or a wheelchair??
in america at least, in this situation, there isnt one. either your loved ones or the firemen can get you out using the emergency fire escapes or stairs, or you dieĀ
Thatās fucking horrific, thank you
āfunā little story:
last summer my friend who is an amazingly talented artist and i were in this super tall building, and sheās in a wheelchair and iām pushing her around the room. itās an art exhibit and some of her art was chosen to be showcased there and so itās all fine and dandy until suddenly an alarm starts going off
a FIRE ALARM
everyone starts running for the stairs and my friend just looks at me with this forlorn look on her face
āi canāt go down the stairsā
but iām a stubborn bitchĀ āiāll carry youā
āwhat about my chair? itās too expensive for me to be able to get another one if i canāt get this one backā
āiāll carry that tooā
and i did. we went to the stairs (by then most people from our floor were gone) and i lifted her up in a firemanās carry over my shoulder and then lifted her chair up and used the ridiculous amount of adrenaline that was coursing through my veins to make it down approximately 20 half-flights of stairs until we met some people exiting lower floors, one of which who kindly took the chair. I changed positions so i was holding my friend bridal-style which was, somehow, easier and the person who took her wheelchair (with her permission to handle it of course) accompanied me to the ground floor and then out the doors
basically there is no real protocol for people who canāt use the stairs in an emergency. itās up to the people with them, if anyone, to help them or the person to somehow make it down the stairs alone, unassisted
thank fuck that it was just a faulty alarm system, because if i was unable to carry her down those stairs and the building was on fucking fire???? then i donāt know what would have happened to her, but i donāt think it would have been very good.
itās fucking ridiculous and ableist to the absolute max.
I use a cane. When I did a day-long fire safety training at my northeast American university (UMass Amherst), I asked that exact same question: āwhat am I supposed to do if the fire alarm goes off and Iām in my lab on the twelfth floor?āĀ
the fire marshal hemmed and hawed for a while and then said to take the elevator- youāre supposed to leave it free for the fire department to use and they want able-bodied people out fast not waiting for elevators. if the fire alarm has just gone off the building probably hasnāt suffered enough structural damage to make using the elevator dangerous, and modern elevator wells are heavily reinforced. many large and high-trafficked buildings on my campus have fire rated elevators that link in with the fire alarm system so they wonāt let you off on a floor with a possible fire.Ā
if the elevator isnāt working, wait in the stairwell and call the fire department to let them know where you are. modern stairwells are also heavily reinforced- it might not be pleasant but modern building code usually requires fire-resistant stairwell doors in office and big residential buildings, also to help firefighters get in and out safely. older buildingsā stairwells may or may not be retrofitted with fire-resistant doors but a stairwell is generally the safest place to wait if you canāt get out.Ā
what happened to your friend was horrible, and iām very glad you were there to help her out, but you can absolutely use the elevator to evacuate if itās not shut down. those donāt-use-the-elevator rules are for abled people.Ā Ā
This is GOOD TO KNOW. why do they not tell people this??
Okay, firefighter here. If you are not physically able to use the stairs, and the elevator is NOT compromised, use the elevator. But you MUST be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the elevator is NOT compromised before you get into it, because there is always the chance that once you get into it, you may not exit it. Power could go out. The elevator may actually BE compromised and you just couldnāt tell from where you were until you were in there, and it suddenly shuts down on you. Something else could happen.Ā
Understand that once you enter the elevator, you could POTENTIALLY be taking your life into your hands there.
It is NOT LIKELY, to be perfectly honest. Itās only in a pretty catastrophic scenario - think the Twin Towers, USA, on September 11th - that the elevators will be compromised and out of service. But there is a NOT ZERO PERCENT CHANCE and you need to understand that and accept it.
As for leaving the elevators free for the firefighters, okay, hereās the deal. Unless your nearest fire station is literally right next door? Your first on scene fire truck is NOT likely to be there on scene and needing that elevator before you get to the ground. It takes us TIME to find the address, gear up, and drive to the building. Then we need to hoof it into where the elevators even ARE, so YOU HAVE TIME to use the elevator to get down to the ground floorā¦ BUT ONLY IF THEREāS NOT A RUSH ON THE ELEVATOR! And THAT is WHY we donāt tell people this shit. Thatās WHY we tell people to NEVER USE THE ELEVATORā¦ because every self-entitled asshole will use it because they donāt feel like walking, and then put YOU in danger by delaying the elevatorās arrival to you.
IF, however, the elevator IS compromised, or you just canāt get it to come for you, or whatever, and you either donāt have anyone with you who has the adrenaline fueled BALLS to be able to toss you over their shoulder and hoof it down the stairs with you - because, letās face it, that is RARE AS FUCK, then HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
You call 911 and tell the call taker that you are in the building that has a fire alarm going off, and you are not able to evacuate because of a physical disability, and you tell them what floor you are on, and EXACTLY what stairwell you are waiting at. And the very FIRST thing that the firefighters are going to do once they arrive, if it is, indeed, a REAL emergency, and not a false alarm, is come get your ass and bring you down. Whether that means carrying you down the stairs, or whether that means locking out the elevators so that no one else can override them and coming to get you themselves, they WILL come get you FIRST THING if it is a real event. And if it is a false alarm? You will probably be the first person who is not involved with the building to know, because the call-taker is going to stay on the line with you until you are under someoneās care and out of danger, or until the scene has been sorted out as real or false, and you are out of danger that way.
These are pretty standard operations in the fire service throughout the United States. There may be some minor variations based on specific municipalities, but, for the most part, this is pretty typical: LIFE BEFORE PROPERTY. So, as long as SOMEONE knows where you are - hence why you call 911 - Firefighters will come get you. You are NOT alone, and you have NOT been abandoned. I PROMISE. Itās like, our whole reason for doing the shit we do: to save lives and to break shit. Sometimes, we get lucky enough to do both at the same time.
High rise fires suck ass, and I always hated them. But the very FIRST thing I asked anytime we got one was if we hadĀ āany entrapmentsā - which is what we call anyone who could not self-evacuate for ANY reason. We aināt leaving you behind. And yes, your friend who doesnāt have the stamina to carry you down can stay with you, too. Because I would never ask that of someone, honestly.Ā
Also, just a little FYIā¦ MOST fire alarms are false alarms. Not to make anyone complacent or anything, but, yeah. Most of them are either system malfunctions, someone accidentally hit a pull station, or someone burned popcorn in a break room. So donāt let a fire alarm freak you out until you need it to - by smelling or seeing smoke or flames.Ā
i have had multiple nightmares about this very thing because NOBODY BOTHERS TO ACTUALLY TELL WHEELCHAIR USERS THIS STUFF

COVID is slowly becoming a āthird worldā disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries canāt get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.
Watch also when some first world countries finish vaccinating their populations, they will turn to third world countries and ādonateā or sell surplus vaccines. People in these countries will go āOh how sweet! The government is donating vaccines to the poorer countries <3ā when it was their hoarding that led to many, many third world citizens dying before they could even get vaccinated in the first place.
african and latin american countries are also pushed by pfizer to give up sovereign assets as part of their vaccine agreement
Yo europeans, sign the fucking petition, get the european commission to lift the patents
Everyone deserves protection from COVID-19.
This is not a bullshit useless change dot org petition by the way this is an actual thing with legal consequences. If this petition gets to a million signatures, the european commission HAS to examine it.
They need not only a million signatures but to pass thresholds in at least seven member states - which only Belgium has done so so far. Especially if you have Italian, Irish, or Cypriot citizenship, please sign. Sign it in general, but try to circulate if you can to anyone with those nationalities specifically.
231,195 / 1,000,000 signatures as of 10/28/21
237,730 Ā / Ā 1,000,000Ā signatures as of 11/28/21 and the Signatory Deadline(it has to be signed by this date) is January 8th, 2022.
PLEASE sign, especially if youāre from one of the countries that has not reached itās threshold. (France, Sweden, Greece, Germany, The Netherlands, Austriaā¦basically every country except Italy and Belgium)
Minimum thresholds must be met in at least five more countries in addition to the 1,000,000 signatures requirement.
The countries closest to reaching their minimum threshold are Ireland(89% of required signatures), France(75%), The Netherlands (75%), Spain (69%), and Cyprus (46%). If you or anyone you know have citizenship in these countries, please sign it, encourage them to sign it, and pass it forward.
If the requirements are met, the European Commission will be forced to examine this and take legal action. Real change is a possibility if enough signatures are collected.
Spread this.
