As a professional overthinker and people-pleaser, accounts like allthingswhumpyandangsty provide a source of motivation I never had before. I used to write fanfiction on sites like Wattpad and a German fanfic platform, but I never received the kind of attention there that I get now on AO3 and Tumblr. And all this in a niche fandom like Malcolm in the Middle . It feels good to read comments where someone tells you: “Keep going!” “Do your own thing!” “Stay to yourself.” It all sounds like a given, but for me, it isn't—I’ve always been an insecure person. I was bullied during my school years and only found my way to AO3 in late 2025, after feeling for years like I was cut off from the fanfiction community. I actually stumbled upon Tumblr by accident while looking for Wilkercest fans—something that came about because of my hyperfixation on Malcolm in the Middle . I never expected it to turn into something this big.

It’s days like this when I miss you the most. Hard days. Days when everything goes wrong. I wish I could call you on my drive home. Here you tell me that I was right for being angry, but I would be ok. When I could just drive over to your place, and sit with you, watching something stupid on tv, or pretending to, while we talked about anything and everything. Or play songs for each other, and talk about what they reminded us of. Sad songs were our specialty. I still can’t listen to City and Colour without thinking of you. I wish I knew how to live without you, I’m trying to, it’s just… I miss having a best friend that I can count on. Who I can call and bitch about things to, whenever. Who genuinely cares..about me. It’s harder some days than others… But I never stop missing you. Forever Beedoos. 🖤

Jermaine is in his 70s and has 3 year old with a woman who’s 27. This woman is old enough to be his daughter like that’s disgusting

I would say granddaughter.

Randy and Jermaine shared the same woman at different points? Idk if that’s weird or disgusting

It’s both. I don’t know how siblings can talk after that. Imagine bringing her for family gatherings. Awkward.

Look at TI and tiny’s son. This man thinks he’s a street dude yet he grew up in a rich gated neighborhood and now he’s out here getting arrested in a pikachu onesie

You know what, thank you for making me remember about this photo 😂😭

ATP the general public needs to stop glorifying celebrity couples. We don’t know these people and when a celebrity couple breaks up, it should not depict our lives Anybody who gets pissed off when celebrity couples who break up is a sign of mental illness in my opinion

I completely agree with you!! I could never glorify celebrities relationships. Or anyone I don’t know as a matter of fact. And yeah people shouldn’t be getting angry when a celebrity couple breaks up. However, if you are referring to my statement regarding Meg and Klay. I was sent a message so I responded to it with my opinion. And I do stand by that.

I’m not going to promise you overnight results. I’m not going to show you a fake screenshot of someone’s income. I’m not going to tell you this is the last community you’ll ever need. Here’s what I will tell you — honestly: Black Rivers is a community of Black business owners who are tired of building alone and ready to build together. Some days the conversations are fire. Some days it’s quiet. That’s real community — not a highlight reel. What you’ll get is real people, real feedback, and real accountability from people who actually understand what you’re building. If that’s what you’re looking for — come through. 👇🏾 blackrivers.net

your twenties are basically collecting tiny survival items. aftersun. caffeine. music that understands you a little too well. and somehow that becomes a personality

body > iframe { min-width: auto !important } View this post on Instagram Can we talk about something that does not get said enough? Nobody sees the full story. Not really. They see you win and they immediately start writing their own version of how it happened. They fill in the blanks with words like lucky, gifted, blessed, in the right place at the right time. It is almost like they need it to be effortless because if it was not effortless then they have to ask themselves why they are not putting in the same effort. But you know what actually happened. You know about the nights that stretched so far past midnight that they started bleeding into mornings. The nights where you were not even sure what you were working toward anymore but you kept going anyway because stopping felt worse than the exhaustion. You know about the things you gave up. The plans you cancelled. The relationships you had to put on hold. The version of yourself that had to shrink temporarily so that a bigger version could grow. You know about the moments you sat alone with your doubts and had to talk yourself back into believing this was all worth it.

If I was any less self aware I would be a wreck

The agency that explains everything clearly is the one that has nothing to hide. The rarest thing in digital marketing isn’t skill. It’s honesty. Link: 👉 amalmarketer.com

Been giving out my heart lately. And it all ends in disappointments.

body > iframe { min-width: auto !important } View this post on Instagram Five years. That is all it takes. Not a lifetime. Not a decade of monk-like discipline and perfect decisions. Just five years of consistently choosing one thing over another. And the gap it creates between two people who started in the same place will absolutely take your breath away. Think about the people you know right now. The ones who spend their energy tracking other people’s lives. Who said what. Who did what. Who is dating who. Who fell off. Who thinks they are better than everyone else. It feels social. It feels connected. It even feels entertaining in the moment. But underneath all of it something very quiet is happening. Time is passing. And nothing is being built. Then think about the other kind of person. The one who is not in every conversation. The one who seems a little boring at parties because they keep redirecting back to what they are working on. The one who is reading when others are scrolling. Who is practicing when others are commenting. Who is building something brick by brick in the background while the world keeps spinning around them. Five years from now those two people will not even be recognizable as someone who once stood in the same room. And here is the thing about gossip that nobody really says out loud. It is not just a waste of time. It is an active drain. Every minute you spend in someone else’s story is a minute you are not writing your own. Every conversation about what someone else is doing wrong is energy you pulled directly out of what you could be doing right. It feels like connection but it is actually distraction wearing a social costume. Building is the opposite of all of that. Building is boring to talk about at first. It is repetitive. It is slow. There are no dramatic updates to share and no viral moments to point to for a long time. It is just you, your craft, your goals, and the daily choice to show up and do the work even when nothing exciting is happening yet. But that slowness is exactly where the magic lives. Because five years of boring consistent effort creates something that no amount of gossip can ever touch. It creates momentum. It creates skill. It creates a life that you actually designed instead of one that just happened to you while you were busy watching everyone else. You do not need to announce which side you are on. You do not need to call anyone out or declare yourself above it. You just need to make the choice quietly and then let the years do the talking. Choose what you give your energy to. Choose it every single morning. Choose it when the group chat gets loud and when the drama feels impossible to ignore. Choose it especially then. Because five years from now you are not going to remember the gossip. But you are absolutely going to feel the weight of every hour you spent building or every hour you spent watching someone else live their life instead of living yours. The difference appears in five years. It always does. Reblog this if you have already chosen your side or if today is the day you finally do. Someone in your circle needs to read this right now.

GC: THE MALEVOLENT MIND “You don’t meditate to stop the thoughts; you meditate so the thoughts don’t stop you.” My head has been a total shit show this week. Full-scale, nuclear, boots-on-the-ground war happening between my ears. If you’ve ever felt like a fraud while trying to lead your life, this one’s for you. I’m breaking down how to stop the “inner battlefield” from burning the whole house down and why we have to learn to Begin Again —even when we’ve fallen off the mat for months. THE MALEVOLENT MIND

Been watching YouTube and I don’t think the videos are slop, but the way that I’m watching them is. If that makes sense It’s been a lot of true crime and politics because sneeg changed my homepage. I need to watch videos with more substance the treat it more then just background sound

“Sometimes you’re gonna take a chance and put yourself out there and you won’t get the reaction you were hoping for but that’s okay because at least you can say you took that chance then never knowing what could’ve been if you hadn’t at all” Jk, I wish I had a Time Machine to go back and not have taken a chance at all 😂🙃

Yes skai and Jules smith linked up at one point

I had to look it up. And yeah you’re right. It even ended in a public bad breakup. 😬😬😬😬
