GIRL I LOVE YOUR WORK. YOU'RE AMAZING.

I love your series ghost x civilian and I wanted to see you writing about Simon getting jealous. Love the way you express words girl, you had me screaming, giggling and kicking my feet the whole series.

Note: You're so cuuuuuuuuuute! Thank you, thank you for your kind words ily and thank you for the wonderful request, I loooooove a jealous bigboy <3<3<3 Pairing: Simon 'Ghost' Riley x Civilian!Reader Warnings: No mask Simon (It's my personal headcanon in his regular life he probably wouldn't wear it), established relationship, mentions of jealousy, mentions of oral (male receiving), one little spank, canon-typical swearing.

With the little regard and car that you put into your car it shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise when it just stopped working. Simon had tried arguing that the damn thing was a money-pit, just sell it for scrap and get yourself something new and safe, with all the mod-cons. You, on the other hand, argued that it had sentimental value, so off it went to a local mechanic who you awaited a whopping bill from.

In the meantime, Simon was picking up the slack of driving you back and forth to all your appointments, sending back parcels, picking up food shopping or simply waking him up in the dead of night from a deep slumber for the whims of late night food cravings.

One evening in particular you had stepped into the lounge looking absolutely mouth-watering in a pair of form fitting gym leggings, the damn things hugged all of your curves in a way that had Simon gazing a little too intensely. “Si…” Your voice cut through, smirking as his dark eyes flit up from observing your hips and thighs to be gazing into your eyes instead, brows raised in surprise and asking. “What was that, love?” It made you simmer with pride as Simon wasn't typically someone who got distracted like that, but it seemed like you simply standing here had him practically frothing at the mouth.

“I said…” You drew out the words playfully. “Would you mind dropping me off at the gym? I have a session with my personal trainer.” This was something new that you had started, only a few sessions in but Simon was encouraging your interest. He thought that your body was perfect the way it but he liked to support your good habits. “Right…” When you had originally mentioned wanting to go to the gym Simon had thrown his hat into the ring, offering to help you but with the way he reacted to you dressed up in leggings it seemed you made the right choice to go elsewhere, what he had planned wasn’t particularly the workout that you had been thinking about. “Course, just let me get my jacket.”

With a little noise of effort Simon pulled himself up off the sofa, stepping past you and smirking to himself as his eyes lingered on your rear. “Oh and don’t forget-” Turning you caught his eyes flitting up again from his gaze and you smirked, quirking a brow at him. “Were you staring at my bum?” “I was admiring, babe…” He took a couple slow steps towards you, stopping when he was finally mere inches from you. “Y’look fuckin’ good…” Large hands captured your hips, winding down to cup your rear in his hands, gripping at it playfully. “I’ll be late~”

“I’ll be quick.” Simon groaned softly, yanking you up into his arms then, legs tied around his waist as you squeaked in surprise. “Simon~” You giggled uncontrollably as he lead you back towards the sofa, dropping you and watching you bounce against the cushions softly. “I can’t show up at the gym smelling of sex!” You giggled, watching him pushing down his jogging bottoms to his midthigh, smiling down at you, reaching a hand forward to stroke his thumb against your throat. “Pretty girl, they aren’t gonna know if I’ve been down your throat, will they…”

Dropping you outside the gym Simon watched with adoration as you rushed inside, blowing him a multitude of kisses in his direction before finally through the sliding doors. For a few moments Simon lingered, waiting until you were safely inside the building before beginning to drive away. A flash of a phone screen illuminated from the seat beside him and Simon glanced over to see your phone lingering there. “Fuckin’ hell…” He muttered; it wouldn’t be possible to call him later to pick you up if you didn’t have that.

A moment later he pulled into the gym car park, collecting your phone and entering the gym in search of you. It was fancy in there. It all smelt so new and fresh, the floors practically sparkling. All the machines looked barely used and they all seemed to work. This was nothing like the gym that Simon went to across town, that was a run-down old boxing gym, there he felt like he fit in but here Simon really felt like he stood out amongst all the pretty looking gym-goers.

Shrugging off his initial discomfort Simon began to walk onto the main gym floor in search of you. Eyes lingering over all the different people, stepping past all the doors that lead to the class rooms and private areas and finally looking through one window to see you inside, on the ground stretching diligently. There you were on all fours, arms and torso stretched out in front of you, knees spread wide with your bum raised up. Simon felt fury spread through him as he looked behind you and spotted a man knelt between your legs, hands on your hips and talking to you, adjusting your stance to put you into a deeper stretch.

A moment later Simon opened the door loudly and stepped into the room, your trainer looked up in surprise and then you followed. A delighted gasp found your lips as you scrambled to your feet and then wrapped your arms around him a moment later. His arms possessively wrapped around your frame, holding you tight to his strong body and setting a cold pair of eyes on the man who was slowly pulling himself to his feet. “Simon, what are you doing here?”

“Left your phone.” His voice was even as he placed it into your hands as you pulled away from the hug. “Thanks.” You grinned up at him before following his gaze over your shoulder. “Oh, babe… This is Andy, my personal trainer.” You announced, gesturing to the man who was awkwardly standing aside. “This is my boyfriend, Simon.”

Awkwardly the younger man nodded, holding out a hand in his direction for Simon to clasp into his own, using all his strength to shake it and causing Andy to tug away sharply from the pain, though Andy never said a word simply smiled tightly. “Weren’t sure you were real, mate; a lot of my girls tells me they have boyfriends and it turns out not to be true.” Andy shrugged and Simon hummed. “Mmm, probably don’t wanna be leered at whilst they are working out.” Then narrowing his dark eyes.

Sensing some type of tension, you glanced between them and blinked slowly before looking at Simon. “Maybe I’ll just call you when I’m done? Or they have a café... you could get a tea, if you like?” You suggested, rubbing his arm soothingly, trying to get his attention again. This was unusual. It wasn’t like Simon was the jealous type, he was certainly possessive when he wanted to be, but something about Andy must have really set him off because even though Simon didn’t particularly like affection in public his hands stayed tied tight around your waist.

“Maybe I could stay…” Simon shrugged off his hoody then, throwing it aside nearby your stuff. “If you don’t mind, mate?” He looked at Andy who frowned heavily and cleared his throat. “Well, you aren’t a member-” “I actually have some guest passes.” You quipped sweetly and then adding with a shrug. “We could pay for a double session, if it’s trouble having us both…”

Andy didn't seem to like the idea but the money finally made him agree. “Whatever. It’s your session.” Then turning on his heel. “Why don’t you continue your stretches. I’ll get us some equipment.” Stepping from the room and allowing the door to swing closed behind him.

When you two were finally alone you finally spoke. “What do you think you’re doing exactly?” Quirking a brow and resuming your stretches, Simon joined in half-heartedly. “What am I doing? What did he think he was doing? Putting his fuckin’ hands all over you.” Simon grumbled, feeling his shoulders tensing. “Lucky, I didn’t break his fuckin’ hand…” He commented under his breath and you fought a smile before looking over at him.

“You’re not jealous, are you?” Quirking a brow at him causing him to look at you sharply. “Don’t be stupid, of course not.” He grumbled lowly. It cause you to giggle sweetly, sauntering towards him and wrapping your arms around his bulky frame. “There anything to be jealous of?” Then looking down at you intensely. “Of course not.” You giggled. “I’m surprise you even had to ask that question considering I had you cock down my throat an hour ago…”

You watched the way his lips twitched to fight a smile. “Shut up.” He grumbled, which caused a bright giggle to pull from your throat. Turning your back to him was a mistake because not a moment later Simon’s hand sharply found your rear, clapping a hand against your cheek and causing you to squeak and jump away from him. “You just wait until I get you home, good thing you streched considering the positions I'll be putting you in…”

hi hello i hope you don't mind but Special Interest Infodump Mode has been activated please keep hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times-

this explanation comes to us courtesy of Dark Road! You know, that cutesy little mobile game where literally the whole cast except the two protagonists dies. This is on brand bc the explanation has it's own fridge horror levels to it if i think too hard about it tbh.

So, worlds have hearts. We've known this since KH1, seen what happens to a world that loses its heart, and how they can be affected. It's rarely been expounded on beyond that however, aside vague allusions to the titular Kingdom Hearts being/harboring the Heart of All Worlds.

(which has. other implications now that i think about it but that's stepping into theorising territory. im sorry im trying really hard to stay on track honest)

fast forward to Dark Road, where we have a bunch of kids venturing out into the worlds for the first time, and as such have to have things explained to them (and thus the audience). NOW i will note here that KH looooooves unreliable narrators and characters imparting incorrect information without knowing it, so there is always the possibility that this could later turn out to be wrong, but currently I see no reason this would be the case and thus for now i feel safe in taking their words at face value unless otherwise contradicted.

Why are there no people? Because each world is alive, and after the Keyblade War sundering THE World into MANY Worlds, each needed to recover and restore what was lost; life, time, movement.

This bit here is important, bc as a result

All of this is the direct result of the Keyblade War of old. Even after so much time, the bits of worlds are *still* recovering, and I do think there's something to be said about how like... the repition between worlds and their apparent stagnation often *stops* after Sora visits them. I don't think it's because Sora's special(tm), but rather just because of who he is; the Dark Road kids are told never to interfere, and as a result the worlds they visit that Sora also visits later are exactly the same to Sora as they were 80+ years before.

But when Sora visits the same world only a short time after his first visit, things CHANGE. Hercules' story moves forward, Simba is having a crisis about being king, Jack Skellington has learned his lesson about Christmas and is on to new shenanigans. And that's only in kh2! in kh3 we see Twilight Town fill with people, barren Olympus expands into a full town (and there's more there too with BBS and how the Wayfinder Trio may have been Olympus' start towards restoring itself completely, and Sora's later arrival more speeding things along)

my point here is *connections*, which is a consistant and overarching theme of the series. Empty worlds are baby worlds, still healing and restoring from being broken away from the rest, and what helps along that healing? Being connected to others.

Which is to say that the keyblade weilder's doctrine of 'do not interfere' while most certainly well-intentioned (as Dark Road also points out, one persons darkness is anothers light, and morality is not a solid truth across worlds, so interfering is risky at best and dangerous at worst), the flip side to this is that without being connected, without that ''interferance'', the world's restoration stagnates and struggles. It will still get there eventually (the Tangled world seems to be doing alright for example), but chances are it might've been a little easier/faster if someone had done a little interfering.

tldr keyblade war broke the worlds and reset them all to zero. As the worlds heal time stops until it's People finally pop back into existance and their stories can resume. And that's how the invisible crowds in early kh games are canon.

#I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE INFODUMP MODE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD AT BEING CLEAR #and also i kept slipping into speculation mode #im sorry i cant help it kh does this to me #its just so juicy #stop talking to yourself flight #kingdom hearts #meta

You know, considering the show only fans' reaction to the Seanchean, if they do put Mat and Tuon together, they're gonna have to give her and them a LOT and I mean A LOT of character development. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Tuon shows up already with thoughts and doubts about slavery. Cause there's simply no way people are gonna be okay with it.

yeah i really do not envy them having to figure out what to do here, because EVERYTHING about mat/tuon and about tuon as a character is a giant landmine. (even just with casting, because the Head Slaver being a black woman is 🥴 especially if we then get scenes of her having to be told by a white man that slavery is bad. but if you DON'T cast a black actor as tuon then you've whitewashed a book-canonically black character. tuon's character design is the kinda thing where rj was trying to go for a ~boundary-breaking role reversal~ but it just really isn't a good look, and i don't envy the show having to deal with his choices there.)

anyway, i'm really hoping for tuon to be introduced at least a season or two before she meets mat so that she can have some development before they even cross paths, let alone begin having romance. (similar to how elayne, aviendha, and min were all developed through non-rand characters this season, which was a great choice.) one idea i'm quite fond of* is tuon showing up in nynaeve and elayne's storyline in s3 in an egeanin-esque role (tho not exactly equivalent ofc given tuon's and egeanin's differences in status/life situation/etc), so then she unknowingly befriends and comes to respect 2 ~marath'damane~, thus she has to start rethinking some things about seanchan culture when she finds out her new buddies can channel. and in s4 maybe she can have some kind of invented plotline to keep her development moving along, and s5 might be the time for her to first meet mat, and they can spend seasons 6 AND 7 together with the romance being a very slow burn. if the show just has tuon show up in ebou dar straightaway with the initial invasion rather than in a second wave after mat's storyline's been left out of an entire book, then she can meet mat sooner and they can leave sooner and have more time to spend together.

rj could have pulled off mat/tuon if he'd introduced her way sooner and had left enough time for their relationship to develop naturally and for HER to develop naturally, rather than breaking mat's characterization to cram him into a rushed relationship it makes no sense for him to want to be part of at this point in time. in WH it really does feel like rj was planning a whole meaty character development arc for tuon, but then realized between books that he wasn't gonna have enough time for it in the main series and came up with the idea of the outriggers spinoff, and in COT suddenly we have tuon being a completely static character and mat replaced by a pod person who's obsessed with her and has completely changed his views on slavery.

but the show has the benefit of knowing the endpoint already, so hopefully they're already planning for how to make the mat/tuon romance feel more believable. i think the only 2 options are a) introduce tuon way earlier and give her a proper redemption arc, or b) make it a political marriage which mat is putting up with for the greater good but has 0 romantic interest in tuon. because yeah, mat falling in love with an unrepentant slaver would make him absolutely vile in the eyes of all viewers, especially after how hard the show went on showing the vileness of the seanchan in s2. show viewers will not have forgotten the torture egwene suffered by the time mat meets tuon as easily as so many book readers apparently did.

*i'm also very fond of the idea of tuon being introduced in seanchan proper because i spent the whole series expecting us to see seanchan proper and the court of the 9 moons etc and felt SO robbed that we never did, so i'd loooooove if the show took us there and had tuon leading a plotline there before she leaves for the westlands. but purely in terms of getting her to start rethinking the damane system early on, this scenario wouldn't be as useful as the one of her meeting nynaeve and elayne in the westlands.

and finally, it's very interesting that they killed off every single notable seanchan character from s2. this could mean that they didn't want to leave any loose ends because the seanchan will be entirely absent for the next season or two, ooooooooooooor it could mean that they wanted to clear the stage for tuon to step up as our major seanchan character in the next season or two.

Favorite fictional ship, and reasons?

LMAOO I'm sure you already know but I'll answer anyway.

Lars and Sadie, these two have literally shaved years off my lifespan, I'm convinced. The funny part is I wasn't even all that interested in them on my first watch of SU. Some time later on they spontaneously became a hyperfixation and I still have no clue why they infected my brain out of nowhere, but here we are. I've essentially been Steven every watch since during all 20 minutes of their screentime.

As for my reasons for liking them, it's complicated. They're SUPER messy and I'm not gonna pretend they aren't. Even as a ride or die larsadie fan I don't necessarily hate the fact that they didn't end up together from a writing/realistic standpoint. They were too toxic in the beginning to be anything beyond FWBs at best despite their mutual feelings for each other.

Post-arcs I feel like they did have a lot of potential to still work out and be much healthier. But at that point I think Sadie had already moved on while Lars was in space, ironically on his way back to her, which may not have happened if Lars had just been honest about what he wanted with her. I of course love Shep as nonbinary representation and for the fact that they make Sadie happy, but I also think that ultimately Sugar's idea with Lars and Sadie was to contribute to the theme of the series as a whole. With life comes change, and learning to accept it whether we like it or not. Steven was sorta supposed to represent the viewers in a way with the introduction of Sadie's new love interest in Future, and his little meltdown over Lars and Sadie having drifted apart, his two friends that he was sure would get married someday. The silver lining being Lars' true love for Sadie in that, even though he's sad it wasn't him, he's glad that Sadie could be happy, showing his growth as a person too. He himself even found happiness in space with the Off Colors.

One could argue they were doomed since the end of Island Adventure though. If not for Sadie's TOTALLY NOT COOL actions, they might've been able to come out of that as a couple. Alternatively, maybe they weren't endgame the second Lars died on Homeworld. Sometimes immortal/mortal couples are a little too sad, which could've been the reason they "couldn't reconnect" as they told Steven. Or maybe Lars would've never kept Sadie for himself, as he genuinely thinks he doesn't deserve her.

Either way, I'll stop rambling and just say, gosh they're cute and check all the boxes for my favorite ships! I love them both so much and them being best friends secretly in love AND coworkers is just ugggghh. Even the angst/tragedy of them makes me love them even more. I'll always wish they worked out but I can get my kicks in fanon. What little we did get in a few episodes is more than a lot of people get with their favorite fictional couples, lmfao (my favorite one is Horror Club :))

BONUS!! to stay on topic w my blog rn I loooooove Greg/Rose. They are TOO precious just look at em!!!!!

[bugeyedfreaks]

2, 5, 12, 23 for each of the Gangreen Gang, and each of the Amoeba Boys

Oooof, that’s a lot! 💀 [cracks knuckles] Well, okay, here we go…

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Ace — I loooooove his sexy leotard! Kidding! I guess in general I just really admire his canonically chill attitude and fine leadership skills. If he wasn’t a wanted criminal he would be a really cool guy to hang out with.

Snake — IMO, one of the funniest scenes in the series is in Buttercrush, when Ace hands Buttercup a bat while Snake is in a junkyard car, and he pleads and begs her not to hit it, fear in his eyes, but she does, and he gets launched into (presumably) the stratosphere. The fact that he canonically survived that is very impressive to me.

Big Billy — The gang needs muscle, and Billy is it, but it’s adorable that he’s such a sweetheart. It really feels like he just goes along with whatever the gang’s doing because, at the end of the day, he doesn’t really know any better. It’s less about doing crime for crime’s sake and just more about having fun with his homies. Despite being so big, he’s the little bro of the gang.

Also I love that he is a cyclops, very cool. 👁️

Li’l Arturo — I love that he can be tossed around like the football or the basketball. His talent is being smol and aerodynamic and I love it (I also love his pride for his deadly comb Maria!).

Grubber — You have to respect a hunchbacked boy who likes horsie rides. That whole sequence with him on the horse at the arcade in Schoolhouse Rocked is so cute and wholesome. …weirdly enough, as strange and gross as he can be (affectionate), there are many other wholesome Grubber moments in the show.

Bossman — His VOICE is just so iconic. Rest in peace, Chuck McCann, and it’s so sad he had to be in the awful reboot before he passed because I’m gonna miss hearing that amazing gangster voice in the future, see?

Slim — 😳 Uh… I…… love that…….. he is…… canonically….. skinny! (Phew! 😮‍💨)

Junior — I love his BOTTOMLESS STOMAAAAACH he has like the Mary Poppins neverending bag of innards. It may be gross, but you have to admit, it is quite the talent.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

I don’t think of specific songs for each of them, but for the Gangreen Gang AND the Amoeba Boys, they both have very iconic theme songs (the GGG’s one is VERY funky, I love it… plus the gloopiness of the Amoeba Boys’ one is veeeeery gloopy and fits them well).

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Okay, I know you asked for one for each of them, but I truly do look at both gangs as, like, whole units when I think about headcanon stuff. One that I like to think about with the GGG is the origin story I have in my brain of how they all met. I imagine at some point they were all total strangers, just happened to all be green, all happened to wander into the dump on the same day, said, “Hey,” and immediately decided they were gonna be best friends for life and were cool chilling with each other. It’s really stupid, but it makes me laugh thinking about it. 😆

With the Amoeba Boys… I dunno! Never really thought about one for them before. Maybe a headcanon could beeeeee that they’ve been wandering around the Townsville area since the dawn of time, constantly splitting/reproducing/reforming to survive (which is why in modern times they’re almost as big as humans), attempting to cause mischief because they’ve always thought the people they saw doing it were really cool (of course, they’ve always inexplicably had their gangster accents and hats, too). Perhaps back in the day they would bug the Ministry of Pain to let them join in on their chaos so they could help fight Captain Righteous and Lefty. Who knows!

23. Favorite picture of this character?

Again, I dunno if I have the strength to pull from all of my screencaps for ALL of them (because if I do I will never finish this to post it), so I will round it down to two of my faves to represent each gang, inspired from my canon favorites list:

#powerpuff girls #ppg #gangreen gang #the amoeba boys #ask game #sorry my answers are so bad #I should truly devote time to hyperfixating on these kings because they are truly worth it #my energy gets sucked up by the weird monkey boy idk

YYH live-action

Short version:

Long version, with spoilers for the entire series:

I'm not being sarcastic when I say I believe they tried.

I don't mind them changing the structure of the story. The early parts of the YYH manga are all over the place and it's probably for the best to streamline it, and they didn't even do a half bad job of it. Tying the "bugs from makai are possessing humans and making them violent" plot point from the Four Beasts arc to Sakyo's plan to open a gate to Makai works quite organically, and having Hiei and Kurama join Yusuke and Kuwabara to rescue Yukina and defeat Tarukane/Sakyo is also a good way to be more economical with the story progression (I don't much like the Four Beasts arc anyway, so). I'm not even mad that they cut away the Dark Tournament, and having Hiei and Kurama's true powers be revealed to the audience when they battle Karasu and Bui (rather than Genpu and Seiryu) is structurally sound. I've read YYH more times than I can count, I know its structure very well, and I believe they did a good job of streamlining it while not making things up from whole cloth to replace what was already there in the manga.

Having said that, they failed in one major, unforgiving way: by streamlining and restructuring the story in the way they did, the theme and emotional impact of the entire first half of YYH was lost. And the thing is, again I think they tried? I think the people making this series both know and appreciate what YYH is about -- if not, they would not have bothered to include Genkai's speech about aging, the desire for power, and the human condition nearly verbatim from the manga! Her words basically spell out the core theme of the Dark Tournament arc, they're what elevate the series above a run-off-the-mill action series, and the emotional impact of Genkai's death and Toguro's ultimate fate are functions of this theme.

In order to appreciate this, we need to understand that the clash between Genkai and Toguro is about their deeply-held philosophies. When Genkai gives the Reikogyoku to Yusuke in order to give him a chance to defeat Toguro, we need to understand, thematically, that she is passing on her strength to Yusuke because she believes this is the point of being human. When Toguro derides Genkai for growing old and weak, we need to understand that he is deriding what he himself rejected, and that this is his weakness -- that he ran away from what it means to be human.

We can't truly understand that when Genkai gives Yusuke the Reikogyoku 30 min after meeting him??? We can't understand that when she dies 15 min later????!?!??! We barely know this woman! How are we to understand, truly and emotionally, the gravitas of her words and actions?! We haven't seen the connection between her and Yusuke, or the connection between her and Toguro! It's emotionally empty and we don't feel the underlying theme of what is happening at all!

And again, I think they really, really tried to give Toguro's words and actions in the last episode gravitas, because they do know what is happening here on a thematic level and they really tried to stick to his motivations from the manga and let us feel its impact. But ugh sorry I just kind of zoned out, man. Toguro does not work when you don't explore Genkai fully.

They tried. I genuinely believe they tried. But they failed. Everything else I could say about the series is inconsequential.

...But I care more than is healthy about YYH, so I'll say stuff anyway:

The first episode was absolutely fantastic as far as I'm concerned. I cried! The emotional resonance was absolutely there, and I was just so happy I was seeing Yusuke and Kuwabara and his lackeys and Atsuko and Botan and Koenma on screen again :') The casting was fantastic, and I especially looooooved that they cast Okubo, Kirishima, and Sawamura to match PERFECTLY with the manga. And asshole Iwamoto was there, being a supreme asshole! Yusuke smoked! The setting was very much working class! Again, it makes me think they care about the source material and they do get it. If only they'd pulled off the rest of the series as well...

Kurama was good too. It helps I've grown to like the actor since he was announced for Kurama, and he's a very good actor, but I think they really pulled off his look, which I was reeeeally worried about. It's brief, but at the hospital visiting his mother, we get to see how Kurama actually looks when he passes himself off as a human: hair tied back, wearing what could actually pass as a HS uniform. His ludicrous red costume was clearly hinted to be his mashozoku (i.e. created by his yoki) just like his Yoko Kurama outfit is in canon. It was clever and I liked it. What's missing from him is the playful side to his personality, but maybe it'll come. The Yoko look and the Karasu fight was pretty good too. I mean no one can be a perfect Yoko Kurama in live action, that's an impossibility, but it was fine.

Hiei was fine? I'm not a Hiei fan but I do think it's a shame they skipped him being an asshole and characterized him as "actually just looking for his sister, not a bad guy" from the start. I also wanted to see him melt Bui's ax like chocolate. Of the main four he was by and large the weakest. And I guess no Shigure in future seasons, woe.

Koenma was pretty good, Botan was good. In the very first scene he's in, Koenma made a reference to "we haven't had a reikai tantei since the last one left but..." which was nice. Along with the post-credits scene, made me hopeful for a Sensui arc? (Although if they do that in five episodes too it'll fail in the exact same way this season fails, so I dunno if I want them to try.) They very much get that Koenma is kind of an ass, haha, which I appreciate.

Best casting and realization of the manga character, though, was Tokuro (elder) for me. Great unhinged creeper! Too bad Toguro (younger) getting rid of him wasn't as impactful as in the manga, because we didn't get to see the two hang out a lot and the show didn't develop Genkai and Genkai/Toguro enough, AS I KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT

[idk-i-just-really-like-tsc]

anyway here’s my two cents on who’s making the cut for these 10 shadowhunter romance stories!! (See Cassandra Clare’s latest announcement about better in black)

tid: idk i feel like this could be a rogue Sophie/gideon or cecily/Gabriel moment. or wessa with jem existing too. who really knows but all of the above i would enjoy <3

tlh: um maybe hopefully plz thomas and Alastair we barely got to see them actually be a couple I feel like so that would be fun. I would also love a luciejesse or herondaisy moment <3

tmi: um well OBVIOUSLY this is what I’m most excited for because i have a normal attatchment to the characters of the mortal instruments. ANYWAY i want sizzys proposal in full detail. we got the clace and the malec ones give them the lovely proposal that i deserve to read. pay them RESPECT. i would also looooove a clace story like any at all. i love and miss them dearly. I would also love a malec story with the kids bc we have literally hardly seen into their family life after they got Rafael but maybe that’s what tec3 is for idk cassandra doesn’t acknowledge its existence. but also if they’ve had two books I’m not exactly sure if she’s writing more about them. DO NOT GET ME WRONG!!! I would loooooove more malec content im not an IDIOT but like idk. but also they’re fan favorites so i just don’t know. im trying to see into cassandra’s mind and it’s not working. i would also actually drop dead to the floor and cease to exist if it was centered around the tmi gang as a whole going on a date night all together triple date moment!!! THATS what i want but i think that’s a bit idk it’s j not gonna happen. unfortunately for me. whatever ill take what i can get and reread the brunch story. I love the brunch story.

tda: well Cassandra’s use of the word throuple makes me assume it’s a safe bet to think one of them will be kierarktina but there’s also the delusional thought that she’s talking about herongraystairs. so idk abt that but yeah kierartina. a Diana and Gwyn moment would also be like somewhat shocking but fun and fresh. idk there’s not that many tda couples tbh. emma and Julian already got their moment in sobh and i don’t wanna read about them so I’m hoping it’s not them. idk

misc: the thing is i feel like this project is very ambiguous bc the theme is just live and romance so it could be anything like people who were never officially couples. unrequited love is fun. kit and ty moment. but also they’re the focus of twp so im just not gonna go there and Cassie may not either. i was also thinking abt this and a malcolm and annabelle story would be reallyyy interesting. also they don’t really fit into one specific series but they’re around in tec,tmi and tda bc they’re awesome i would LOVE a Helen and aline centered story like tell me about their time on wrangel island because we know next to nothing about that seemingly important place and what the hell goes on there. and helen and aline get fuck all in these books. anyway. that’d be a good time. also like. she said there may be some spice . but like i want love confessions and silly goofy character moments and actual stories not just characters going at it yk. so liek what are the vibes here cassandra…

this post got really fucking long for no reason feel free to leave YOUR thoughts on what you want to see in these stories <3

#I don’t even know what to tag this monstrosity

[optiwashere]

J, L, P, X, Y? 👀

Thanks for asking for these ones!

J. Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

Signalis. Which is weird because I loooooove that game. Gay robots, psychosexual trauma, and survival horror? Sign me up. I still don't really read for it, which is just because I rarely do for video games.

L. Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

Gortash is actually a very satisfying boss fight because the whole point is that he's a fuckin' dork, not a Ketheric Thorm or Orin. When you fight him one-on-one, he's a complete pushover and he should be. His abilities lie elsewhere.

P. Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Parks and Recreation x Baldur's Gate 3 AU/Crossover. It would let me combine my fandoms and do utterly unhinged shit with both sides of the coin.

X. A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

I'm not sure if it has a solid trope name, but "sad girl with large comfort person" is genuinely so for me it's unbelievable. There's a reason Shadowheart/Karlach is my favorite canon/canon pair.

Y. What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Some of my friends are in the LOTR and Dragon Age fandoms, but I never did anything more than enjoy those series and games. I've also learned more about Destiny lore from following you than I ever did playing those games lmao.

#hey you can ask me things!

[tigirl-and-co]

Hey I have a question; if you could make a new adaptation of one of Tezuka's manga, which one would it be and what would make your adaptation unique?

Well, besides my 'All Sibling' Astro Boy concept... hm! That's kind of a tough one!

I loooooove his original Dororo, and other than the ending idk how I'd improve it. And both Astro Boy and Black Jack are kinda continuously being adapted, idk how I'd add something new to them!

I think I might actually do an anthology series based around his shorter, darker stories, like those found in Clockwork Apple and The Meteor! People tend to ignore that stuff, but Tezuka was fantastic at creating tension in a very small window, and I LOVE that sort of content.

The themes he writes about are still very relevant, and easily could capture the modern audience's attention. We know there's a market for dark Tezuka content, what with Pluto releasing yesterday and all.

There's also one specific 1963 Astro Boy episode(s(they adapted the same chapter twice for whatever reason)) that I'd like to add to the mix. It's the one about Sharky, the gang leader who targets robots bc he believes they killed his mother. But it turns out he was actually adopted by a robot, but such a thing was illegal at the time. It was weird and dark and I loved it.

That and the one where they went to space and it was a Whole Ordeal, episode 11 of the English dub. I love that episode.

So I guess my unique twist would be that a few of the stories are from long-form Tezuka manga? Maybe add in some of the sealed black Jack chapters?

Thank you so much for the ask, this was so much fun to spitball ideas for! Sorry for rambling, it's almost one a.m. over here lol

[bettyfrommars]

This isn’t really an ask, more of a reader/fan word-vomit (fair warning!). I wanted to tell you how much I love your writing and I’m devouring everything!

Your strange and unusual AUs are right up my alley. At times I don’t have the foggiest what’s going on, but I’m invested and immersed and enjoying the rides (which is how I approached Twin Peaks, so, appropriate). I’m loving Stop The World & Melt With You - the whole pineapple bit had me in hysterics and gave me serious Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy vibes (meant as a huge compliment). And Death Becomes Us has destroyed my long-standing ambivalence towards vampire stories (I OD-ed in my youth) and I’m completely invested. Plus I loooooove how Bob is back, it’s made me realise how little I’ve seen of him in fics and I don’t know why that is. And Eric Draven is my vampire bartender. And my Lorelei is gonna be either Freddie Lounds from Hannibal or Gina Davis in Cutthroat Island, hope that’s OK 😆

Gargoyle Eddie and Dark Siren Eddie are doing things to me that I didn’t realise were possible, so thanks (?) for that.

Plus, everything about I’m On Fire is just 👌👌❤️❤️🔥🔥. I adore how lots of the subcharacters their own nemeses/subplots, I’ve not seen that before, and I need to know what happens. Plus ‘Walk’ was a genius music choice. And the smut is divine, but, frankly, all of yours is.

And just because I’m on tenterhooks and it’s a sort-of an ask, which somehow makes this entire message halfway-legit, is there any news on when any of your series’ next parts might appear, and/or which one it might be? I’m in no rush for IOF of course I am, we all are, dear god we’re all feral but am absolutely not pushing, because in the meantime I can always keep myself busy rereading that ‘office administration scene’, and watching Season 3 of The Witcher for thigh inspiration… ☺️

Anyway, that’s all I really wanted to say, because if I add any more it’ll get embarrassingly gushy. If it isn’t already. It already is, isn’t it? shit 😬

Okay, bye 👋

*bows out ungracefully backwards, leaving this on the floor as a somewhat pathetic and inadequate offering*

CATT let me tell you about my verbal affirmation love language and my praise kink 🥹 I hope you don't mind having a stalker because flattery will get you anything from me. Honestly, I've read this 8 times and it made my whole WEEK (not even kidding). I'm keeping this for days when I think everything I do is hot garbage.

Because you asked, LET ME TELL YOU what is next on my nonexistent agenda: Part 6 of Death Becomes Us, another installment of the Nightmare Factory (I'm thinking maybe Haunted House Eddie?), and I want to get the next chapter of I'm on Fire out because we are so close to the "end" and there's so much going on, it's going to keep me up at night to not have a resolution. It will also be time to celebrate when I finish IOF because it was the first fanfic series I ever posted here😭

Oh Eric Draven is such a good choice for a vampire bartender at Sacrament! And I can't believe you mentioned Gina Davis from Cutthroat Island omggggg core memory unlocked.

I'm even more in love with you because you read my little Twilight Zone au 🥹 But again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to reach out. Encouragement and messages like this inspire me to keep going, and you just filled up my tank 🥹

🙈!! (@spacestationstorybook)

HI NYX THANK YOU FOR THE ASK 💖💖💖 So this clip is from the season 4 episode "Forced Kin", which I'm now realizing I definitely need to rewatch cuz I did NOT appreciate it enough the first time 😅💖💖💖 Also uhh cant believe I have to add this but slight content warning for a white guy voicing a stereotype character ya gotta understand it was a different time they didn't know this was rly bad yet don't cancel me 💀

Real quick before I get into anything, I want to mention the change in animation, as this was one of the very first (if not THE first) episodes done in digital, as opposed to the cel animation the rest of the series had been in for the first 3 seasons. While it is cool to see it nice and crisp here, I do feel like they were still kinda figuring out how all this digital stuff works, since to me it feels more stilted and stiff than the animation has looked previously, along with the art style being just a bit off. Maybe that can be chalked up to the storyboarder of this episode as well, but the way Mojo, as well as the Girls later on in the episode are drawn is just the slightest bit off to me. That could always just be me tho 😅

Ok with that out of the way, of course the most obvious thing permeating this whole clip: the dramatics 😂💖💖 He is SOOOOO EXTRA AND FOR WHAT TBH, No one does it like him you will always be famous to me my love 💀💖💖💖

It's the smallest fuckin thing but the way he points out the egg and then... doesn't elaborate?? 😂 Like WHAT was wrong with it I'm dying to know

Once again a small thing but like... I fuckin grew up on french bread, that was SUCH a treat in our house so I am an absolute connoisseur of it and can 100% agree on how offended he is about it 😂💖💖

Ok I am almost sure that this is the first time I've heard Mojo say "peon" and it catches me SO off-guard every time, it's a good fit in his dictionary of insults of course but its just jarring to me for some reason 😅

Ohhh my god I think this is something we can all agree on... the comedic timing here is fucking. GOLD 😂💖😂💖😂 Just the long pause after being asked if he feels like he can do whatever he wants, followed by "..... Yes" and the bread-smack 😂😂😂😂 And the way he does it a SECOND TIME and laughs in the EXACT same cadence gOD. HE'S SO SILLYYYYYYYY 💖💖💖💖💖

Alright last thing and of course this is not exclusive to this clip but I loooooove his dramatic hand gestures as he speaks, like I said earlier he is always so so so extra and it's SO ICONIC like WHOOO STAY WINNING HONEYYY 💖💖💖💖💖

💜 ask game here! 💜

What your favourite flower boy moments? Like top of the top 👌

Omg you can’t do this to me! The obvious answer is all of them. I thought going through them would make my choices narrow down but it actually made it worse 🤭 I hope you’re ready for the longest answer ever.

For all of them together I usually think the one you made of them in the field of roses as my favorite. I don’t know how coloring works, I just know you must have put so much time into them because they’re so bright and happy but then there’s two of all of them where they are dressed in all white and it is magical

Namjoon - has his rose field one but also this one and again going off of vibes like those grainy home videos that just are NICE

Jin - the winner is the field one no questions. The shirt???

Yoongi - I always say it’s between this one and his big flower crown but this one always wins (I forgot to get the link to the flower crown one 😭😭😭)

Hobi - (after taking a pause because I narrowed it down to five and I’m stuck) okay so the single yellow flower and the this one (blonde hobi AND the bonus 🫣) tie for first place

Jimin - once again the rose field wins but the flower crown was a whole moment

Tae - the flowers, the shirt (the blue is 😫) the hair, the everything!

Jungkook- his leaf!! Idk the green with his pink hair just makes it for me

also the unofficial flower boy fave is the first one you ever tagged me in. it’s not in the series but I loooooove it so much

#tell me to pick a favorite and I will spend about 45 mins describing why that’s not possible #long story short all of them are good but if I HAD to choose then the rose field one #i got an ask!

[khaleesiofalicante]

Okay I can't get IALS and Mavid out of my head, I just love them. I mean every week a new idea or concept keeps going through my mind I'm obsessed with them😅

So, I present to you this week's concept: The first time David got wasted after they got back together. Or better yet, after the Africa trip. David and Jackson go out, they get wasted and David starts talking about how much he loves Max (shocker) and he turns to Jackson and goes like, he knows right? And Jackson would be like well he better after everything you've been through for him and David would be like, no I need to be sure. So he would call Max and be like, Mon Ange you need to know how much I love you. And then proceed to give him a very detailed and graphic version of the hell he had to go through without him and how much he missed him and how much he hated everyone he dated and how he wished he could tell the truth and love him the way he wanted. And Max would just, melt. Just imagine the potential.

I am love them your honor🥰🌷

Mavid thoughts really keeping me afloat right now oof.

I love this. I loooooove drunk david shenanigans. I could write a whole series about it.

This made me think of something of my own. I keep thinking about Max and David getting familiar with each other's work/passions again. This is something they lost/missed during the divorce. They've always been so supportive of each other's dreams and they both got to achieve their dreams without each other. So, I think it would be so emotional to get to experience that. David taking Max to the set of his new show with Amazon Prime. David reading Max the scripts and asking for his feedback. Max taking David to the FBI and introducing him to all his friends and colleagues. Max taking David to Quantico and showing Lance's classrooms and them spying on Lance being soft on his own.

Just them really being proud of each other and themselves and how much they have achieved.

Okay bye.

i just rewatched Homecoming (How to train your dragon, not Spider- Man) for the first time since 2019 (when it came out) and i'm crying. I remember not liking it much when i first watched it, so i have never rewatched it but it was not nearly as bad as i remembered it. I mean i still don't like that they did the whole "Stoick befriended the dragons instead of Hiccup" because that's disrespectful to everything Hiccup has ever done and he deserves better than that-

but

i loooooove domestic Hiccstrid and i adore their kids! Zephyr with her wits and go big or go home mentality while still being so sweet and protective over her brother. And little Nuffink who can, in his mother's words, "take a hit" and still keep on smiling and with his adorable accent. New Berk is also so beautiful and i truly wish we could have gotten a little mini series or something about their lives there because there's still so much story left to tell with these characters! I wanna see Hiccup travel to America, finding new solutions to problems previously solved by their dragons, seeing him as chief, their annual visits to see the dragons (after the ten year jump it happens more frequently don't fight me on this, i'll agree with the little break between the good bye and the reunion in The Hidden World but after that they visit each other a lot cause it's been ten years and most of the dangers for the dragons are probably gone so they can see still see each other now but very sneakily, that is law). I also wanna see more of Hiccup and Astrid as parents, i wanna see Snotlout finding a wife and see him as a dad, I want Dagur to come back and create chaos and i wanna see Hiccup as a chief (i know i already said that but i really wanna see more of that).

I just love this universe so much and even though we've have gotten like three movies, 45 short movies, two long running (flying) series, several comic books, an entire book series of 12 books and probably several other things that have escaped my mind i still wanna see more (but that's on me, I'm greedy).
