You ever think about how the "keep Riku safe" memory almost wakes Sora up but then Ansem SOD showing up to imply Sora's failure on doing that in KH1 is what plunges him back into sleep?

-The Rave'n-
>wednesday x fem! reader :)<
>in which wednesday was asked to the dance by tyler, but you wanted to invite her first<
>i am quite down bad<
Tumblr media
she hated the fact that you didn't invite her. she also hated the fact that she wanted to invite you.
now, wednesday is stuck going to the rave'n, which she didn't want to go to at all, with tyler. she told herself that the only reason she'd like to go with you is because you were her confidant; someone she trusted during her investigation. out of everyone, you were the only one who immediately believed her about the hyde and wanted to help.
plus, you were a girl. if she went with you to the rave'n, it would obviously be as friends. obviously.
when wednesday arrived at the dance, she was disgusted with just about everything she saw. so much white. absolutely abysmal music. why hadn't she just ignored tyler's request and joined eugene on the steak out?
lot of eyes were on her. xavier's and bianca's, most notably; but the pair she wanted to see her and her dress the most weren't there.
then, when she went to go get drinks, she looked up and there you were: velvety black dress that dragged on the ground with a matching translucent veil. looking as if you were ready for a funeral. and as if, maybe, just maybe, you wore black to match the color you knew that wednesday would also wear.
even though she hated everything in that moment, what wednesday hated most was that she wasn't there to escort you through the entrance; that people wouldn't get to see you two together. and that very thought scared her.
she wasn't like her mother. she wouldn't have kids nor would she fall in love.
well, if i were with a girl, i wouldn't need to worry about the kids part.
she couldn't help but externally scrunch her face at the thought. why is she even considering being with anyone?
then she noticed that there was no one by your side. you were alone, and your ability to turn invisible made your form waver from visibility to invisibility while nervous.
it then made her remember your reaction a few days prior when she told you that she'd be going with tyler.
the way your face dropped and the way your visibility wavered; something she'd noticed you do when emotional.
then, the words you said after, "i probably won't be going anyway, the person i want to go with already has a date."
at the time, her thoughts were so consumed in the investigation that she hadn't really thought about those words or even the conversation as a whole. it was insignificant a few days ago but now it had her mind racing.
why was she so upset? had she wanted to go with me?
again, her thoughts angered and confused her and it made wednesday clench her jaw.
"woah there wednesday, you're gonna break those glasses."
the words directed at her pulled her out of her thoughts and she noticed tyler had crept up next to her.
"oh. tyler," her monotone voice hid a hint of irritation.
"are you okay? you went off to get drinks, like, ten minutes ago," tyler said with that annoyingly awkward chuckle of his.
"no. there's too much white. my corneas are burning."
tyler gave a weird smile and held out his hand, "do you want to dance? everyone's on the floor right now."
wednesday flickered her gaze from tyler to the spot you once stood, now empty.
"fine."
her short, snappy reply made tyler's smile waver. wednesday failed to notice as her eyes scanned the room on her way to the dance floor.
where did she go? doesn't she want to dance?
then, her thoughts were interrupted by a dancer near her as they bumped shoulders, almost losing her balance. she was about to snap a neck when the offender mumbled a small "sorry", barely audible amongst the music, and dashed away.
the offender was wearing black; a black dress to be specific. the dress was also floating in mid air, without a body to encompass. (y/n).
tyler finally caught up to wednesday, out of breath. "man, can't you just slow down for a second-" and as he was about to complain a bit more, she didn't even glace at him as she, too, stepped from the floor full of partying students and ran in the direction (y/n) went.
with uncontrollable agitation and slight exhaustion, tyler yelled "wednesday, why did you even come with me if you were just gonna ditch me time and time again?!"
but she did not hear him, and if she did, she didn't care enough to respond.
when wednesday made it to the gold-lit hall, she could feel the small tremors of the music reverberating throughout it's walls.
her stoic face held indifference, yet in her head, that couldn't be further than the truth. her normally organized thoughts swirled with confusion.
everything came to a head when soft weeping emitted from a floating dress perched on one of the many velvet love seats.
wednesday had yet to make her presence known, but didn't know what to say or do. she had never been good with emotions, to put it lightly. she was absolute shit, would be a better way to describe it.
she would open her mouth to say something, anything, but words would not form. this happened a few more times before she became frustrated with herself.
clenching her fists, she took a step forward in her uncomfortable heels, "... (y/n). "
your form flickered for a moment as you looked up to meet her gaze. she saw your face for less than a second but didn't miss the dark streaks of mascara on your flushed cheeks.
"a-.... are you okay?" she managed, feeling as if saying those simple words were one of the hardest things she has ever done.
"fine." you replied, wiping at your eyes with a black sleeve.
wednesday took a step closer.
"you're invisible."
your form was visible once more, this time for longer. she could now see the frustrated expression on your face.
"you don't say," was all you could muster.
in the following silence, wednesday took it upon herself to sit next to you, noting the way you moved your knees away from her.
"if you're upset about not having a date, i do not understand why you're angry with me-"
"i'm angry at everything! this dance! tyler! and you!" now you were standing, your form in full view as your face reddened with fury.
"this stupid guy bumped into me and his fucking drink fell right on my chest, and tyler knew i had a crush on you and asked you out anyway, and you," a black painted fingernail now pointed in wednesday's direction as she swallowed your outburst, "i know you're not the best with feelings but i thought maybe, just maybe, you'd get the hint that i want to go with you! and even if you did, you put the stupid hyde investigation before my feelings and chose tyler instead. i can't tell what's worse, the fact that you were oblivious to my obvious feelings or that you didn't care at all!"
now there was a thick, silent tension between the two girls and the sound of the electric beats from the next room over were making you feel like you were about to implode with each second that passed by.
wednesday sat on the love seat, her hands clenching her dress as she processed the information given to her. you wanted to invite her to the dance. tyler knew you liked her.
she likes me?
through your blurried vision, you could see wednesday.
she looked as emotionless as ever. except for the twitching of the right side of her lips. and maybe the small glimmer in her usually dead eyes.
"damn it, tyler," she said under her breath. of course he had to make my life more miserable than it already is.
then, wednesday thought:
fuck it.
she lifted a bit off the seat to reach your arms and pulled you forward. it was a bit of an awkward move, forcing you to fall forward and brace yourself by putting one hand on each of the armrests.
her obsidian eyes were inches away from yours, and her lips even closer. she still held that look as if she couldn't be bothered by this whole situation. yet, her actions spoke much louder than her expression ever had.
then wednesday's cold hands lifted to your face, her fingers just barely grazing the sides of your cheeks.
"i give you this opportunity, and you don't even take it to kiss me?" she asked, a small, sadistic smile spreading to her face. her hands seemed to guide your faces even closer.
inside your anger subsided. what pushed forth was a strong desire to grab this girl and never let her go.
lifting a knee onto the soft cushions to keep yourself from falling on top of wednesday, you took her pale face in your hands and leaned in.
wednesday felt a heat in her stomach as your lips touched. she felt her face grow hot, a newfound feeling that made her hold your face a little tighter. she felt happy; and that scared the shit out of her.
she kissed you deeper, taking you by surprise. as you both held the sides of each other's faces, it seemed like your bodies couldn't be close enough.
then, when in need of breath, you pulled away.
"suffocation would have been acceptable just now, honestly," she said, letting her hands now rest on the back of your neck.
you cracked a smile at her attempt at a joke, though you weren't sure if it really was one or not.
just to poke fun at her, you ask, "so does this mean that the invincible i-have-no-feelings wednesday addams likes me back?"
her eyes narrowed and she heaved a sigh.
"...yes. that may... be true. "
she said it as if it pained her to admit, but you just shined a brilliant smile, forgetting that you had been yelling at her in pure anger a few moments ago.
you got off the seat and held your hand out to wednesday, "now, let's go find tyler so i can beat his ass. got anything with you?"
wednesday allowed herself a small, twisted smile.
"my hand mace."

What would you say are the biggest flaws of the main tangled gang?
I almost feel like i've answered this in the past, laughs. But let's see...
Rapunzel: She's a people-pleaser, and socially naive, at least at first. Which is a terrible combination for almost anyone who isn't named 'Gothel'. All she knows is that she wants things to be OK, and will do almost anything to help others make it so. This leads to more than a few mix ups where she fails to catch onto social cues. Ironically, it's part of her best qualities that she will ALWAYS stand by anyone she cares about.
Eugene: It's pretty obvious that Eugene's ego is one of his defining traits. Even in season 3, when he's really learning what defines him now vs the Flynn Rider days, he can't bring himself to let go of the old persona, the great thief that he was. At least until a wakeup call from Rapunzel - and Brock - that makes Eugene realize that since others have faith in him as he is, he should too.
Cassandra: Obviously I've talked about this at length, but Cass's flaw is definitely her lack of self-worth. She fights for recognition like she needs it to live. Ironically Cass struggles with basically the opposite thing Rapunzel does. Where Rapunzel expects people to show love to her as much as she does them, Cassandra internalized that 'earning her keep' with others means everything.
Lance: Funnily enough, I could talk about Lance's fear of cliders (clown spiders), but I think the real flaw Lance faces is that, for most of the series, he's still a thief. Or, at least, more of a thief than Eugene is now. Lance never has the same aversion to his past that Eugene develops, but he does grow out of it with time.
Varian: He never thinks things through, plain and simple. His inventions are only so amazing until something unexpected happens. And then there's his villain arc, of course. He gets thrown out of the castle because he didn't expect Rapunzel to have to care for the whole kingdom, he steals the Sunflower when its power has been fully absorbed by Rapunzel, then he fails to realize what would happen if Rapunzel's hair couldn't break his father three. And, finally, he sides with the saporians to overthrow the kingdom, and never expects that they'd try to betray him too.

i'm 3 days late but i'm finally answering @lamialamia
Tumblr media
so my overall thoughts of the pacific are that i really enjoyed it (is enjoyed the right word? can you really enjoy the significant trauma of watching episodes 4-7 back to back and losing your three favourite characters all in one go? i don't think you can) but i did love a lot of things about it! the cinematography and production was outstanding. i knew it would be, but the way they shot the whole show was really something special! those battle scenes being shot like a very well made horror flick really did something to me. one thing i really wish we got more of was time with the men. i feel like we didn't get deep enough into their characters and personalities, outside of the main three ofc, especially after being told a lot more about certain men and what they were really like outside of how the show portrayed them (eddie jones and his guitar deserved better!!!!!)
but despite that, i still became hopelessly attached to a good few of them. stupidly, ack ack became the love of my life and now i'm probably ruined for life, so that's nice. thanks for that, life. i actually adore eddie jones and obviously, as we all know, i'm way past feral for hoosier over there. i think when i rewatch the show, i'll gain a lot more appreciation for other characters too (though i do already love most of them). i really liked the inclusion of lena's story, she became one of my favourite characters at the end. i was less into leckie's mostly fake love story but i understand they did it for narrative purposes and to sort of give his actions when he was acting up a trigger point.
my favourite thing from the series was definitely ack ack. and eddie. i don't know what it is about those two but they just awoke something in me and now i can't let go. i desperately needed more scenes of them but every ack ack scene gave me something electric so he's probably my favourite thing about the series. i also really liked how close leckie's unit was, they didn't have a thousand scenes or anything massive, but there was something incredibly comforting about the lightheartedness they gave each other that covered the traumatic experience they were all going through. i truly believe those dear vera letters and leckie reading them to his boys were a tool for them all to process what they were seeing but in a way where it could still be passive and not too heavy. i would have liked to have seen more scenes of them all, maybe in place of some of the melbourne romance stuff, but i get why it was the way it was. i appreciated that the show didn't shy away from the absolute horrors of war and even though it only covered things briefly most of the time, it definitely hit a lot of the different nuances involved and i think it did it in a subtle enough way that it actually settles into your brain permanently.
most trauma? i think we all know the answer to that since i've been crying about it since my episode 7 liveblog. honestly, i'm just pretending that episode 7 never happened and all is fine in the world. but i also think that watching eugene's arc killed a part of me inside, it kinda broke me watching him go from this innocent kid who was desperate to serve to being utterly disenchanted and disillusioned with his purpose and everything he thought he knew and believed. his story kinda cracked open my heart in a way i wasn't ready for.
sunshine and happiness.. ack ack being the most wholesome captain ever and basically just taking up residence in my heart. but also i really enjoyed gene and sidney's friendship, they didn't really have many scenes together but it made me happy that despite them never being able to see the world the same again after everything they went through, they both made it home and they had each other. also, i don't even know why, but burgie became one of my favourite characters so that part where he hugged his dad and his brother after getting off the train made me fucking sob with relief. i don't know why but it hit me real hard and i know that's not exactly sunshine and happiness but he made it home and he married his australian sweetheart and he was my favourite in the interview sections and so i just felt this overwhelming amount of relief and happiness for him.
we don't talk about the ass flash

Hiya Bestie! 💕 For the director's cut game, I've been dying to know about Joe's relationship with Alix's friend group. There was a little mention of him interacting with them while Alix was gone, and I'd love to know more about their dynamic if you're down to share :)
Ooh this is such a good question!! It's gonna be addressed much more in later chapters too bc I'm a sucker for psychology!! 🤭
Liebgott + Skip + Don Relationship Psychoanalysis below the cut!!
So Joe is an interesting case bc he grew up SURROUNDED by family & we see him assume the role of Caretaker multiple times throughout the show, most notably with Tipper, when Tab gets gored, when Alley is wounded, & at the concentration camp later on.
The caring side of him is automatic-- it derives from being the oldest of so many siblings, the man of the family when his dad's at work. He's always been the Protector, the Caretaker etc.
He is as fierce a lover as he is a fighter bc both come from the same place: his compassionate heart! He can't help but care about people and as Eugene Sledge wrote in his book, it's the ones with empathy that suffer the most during wartime.🥺
As the war progresses, we see Joe starts to go against his own nature. We see him learn to shut the kinder side of himself down. He has to-- As Winters wrote in his book, Joe was one of Easy Company's "designated killers".
Imagine for one second the weight of that label on a person. You need someone executed, you call Joe. Joe is the one Resistance members use as a threat during interrogations-- he's the attack dog, he kills on command.
What does a normal human being have to do to become psychologically okay with that? How much of himself did he lose? What does a job like that do to a person over time?
Alix & Joe are very similar but they fork in that regard:
Alix lets her emotions lead as an act of rebellion against a system that has tried to rob her of them + tries to pull away from that label of "Killer" whereas Joe shuts down & leans into it. He does what he has to do. He is a good soldier.
He lets his anger (which is really just compounded self-loathing) drive him, becoming a bit of a Lone Wolf in the process.
The angrier Joe becomes, the more he lashes out.
The more he lashes out, the more he hates himself.
And the cycle just continues.
He knows it & he HATES it. There's a reason he abandons his old name in favor of an old family nickname, tries to avoid the Easy Co. reunions at all costs, & refuses to talk about the war until he's practically on his deathbed.
Joe DESPISES the person he used to be, the person the war made him.
AND THEN THERE'S OUR BELOVED SUNSHINE BOY, SKIP.
So Skip starts in a similar position but ends up in a VERY different place!
Like Joe, he grew up as the Caretaker figure in his family. He didn't face any discrimination growing up tho-- which obviously had a major effect on Joe-- but there's no doubt Skip is upset about the suffering he sees throughout the war. Any decent human being would be, ESPECIALLY someone with a heart as big as Skip's.
BUT unlike Joe, we never see Skip angry or upset for long.
Skip's outlook is UNFAILINGLY positive bc he knows if he allows himself to sink into that place of rage even for a moment, he'll never get out.
And as an NCO, Skip feels a responsibility for the morale of his squad. He knows people are depending on him, he knows the younger guys are watching him, so when he feels down, he makes the choice to lift others up instead.
Even in his letters, when he writes about feeling down, it's very quick mentions here & there. He refuses to let himself have more than a second or two of anger or self-pity BUT at the same time, does not allow the war to strip him of his humanity or compassion. He's been an optimist his whole life & even in the worst of times, he refuses to let the war take that from him.
SO
Subconsciously, when Joe looks at Skip, he sees the person he could have been, if life had been kinder. If he had made the same kinds of choices instead of hardening his heart to survive.
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood", so to speak.
And he wants to protect that in Skip at all costs.
In a similar vein, subconsciously, with Don, I think Joe sees his little brother -- This carefree, mischievous, bright spark of a boy with adventure in his soul. Joe's younger siblings got to have a childhood-- he never really did. So he sees the same light in Don that he sees in his younger siblings, & as he did growing up, Joe will shoulder whatever burdens he needs to in order to protect that.
Thank you so much for the Ask, my Dovely!! Sorry this kinda turned into a book lol💖

Allright, let's make this a bit of a game.
What would you see, and under which circumstances, in the following Varian ships.
As long, detailed and honestly explained as you can.
Rapunzel
Cassandra
Eugene
Andrew
Juniper
Hugo
Nuru
Yong
Faith
Vex
Willow
Arianna
Gothel
Zhan Tiri
The four sisters with red hair who like to braid
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Dipper Pines
Mabel Pines
Hiro Hamada
Uhh…so, this is going to take some thinking. Mostly because I am confused by what you mean, exactly. Uhh…
Rapunzel:
Well, obviously, I love to fall back on the whole "Destined Sun and Moon" thing with them, but when that's not an option, I like having her recognize he has a crush and growing closer to him.
Or, even better, them meeting in a way different from canon and falling in love by chance.
Then there's the case of "The Love Doctor", where it's purely sexual and otherwise they're friends.
Varian flirting with her while he's being a villain is also really fun, with her trying to convince herself she hates him for what he's doing but slowly falling in love.
Or, in the case of "The Secret of the Black Rocks", they're both trying to deny catching feelings while stuck together for long periods of time while on their way to the Dark Kingdom.
Cassandra:
Honestly, I prefer AUs where Varian is nineteen so it's not as questionable to be with her, a 23 year old woman. While the concept of "teenager" didn't actually exist until the 1900s, apparently, it's just better for them to be closer to the same age.
Though, I do enjoy writing fics where Cassandra has to contend with Varian's overprotective dad and the age difference, haha. So much drama!
They make a cute couple, when she's not being a cold-hearted wench that uses him for her own ends.
Eugene:
Varian is his stalker. Literally his stalker. At some point, I will write a modern AU where he is actually being as creepy towards him as Marinette is to Adrien in "Miraculous Ladybug", because he is a massive fanboy and stalker. Why did he have some of his hair from a ponytail that got cut off years ago? Why did he have his broken knives, his boot, his old, damaged satchels? Why did he have such perfect Wanted posters when the old guy that makes Wanted posters couldn't get any of them right?
Varian's stalker tendencies towards Eugene aside, I could see them actually being a cute couple, once Varian was older or in an AU where he's nineteen and not fourteen. I really like exploring his fanboy side about Eugene, even in "Untouchable", where he was stalking him by watching him through the rocks with his powers for years.
Andrew:
Typically, I prefer them to be platonic. But, in situations where they aren't platonic, if anything happens before he's an adult, then I fall back on Asshole Andrew, who is the abusive asshole that features in a lot of my old V&7K fics, though I have yet to actually have him do anything to him during their time together taking over, usually having Andrew get revenge on him after Varian is on his journey. But, generally, I prefer to keep it platonic. He needs an older brother-figure he can count on.
In an AU where they aren't platonic but he's still not an asshole, I can see Andrew being a complete gentleman and starting off by flirting with Varian by complimenting his works and then he'd show off his own and they'd gradually fall in love over time while spending time together.
And then there's their messed-up relationship in "Your Biggest Fan", where Andrew is basically his prisoner/sex-slave/guinea pig for all his crazy sex gadgets.
Juniper:
Gonne be honest…never even once. I just can't really see them as a couple, so I have no idea for how it could go.
Hugo:
Hugo is Varian's fan, whether he admits it or not. It's just hard for him not to admire someone that brought a royal family to their knees before magic intervened. No self-respecting criminal wouldn't admire that kind of accomplishment.
Going by concept Hugo, Varian and Hugo make jabs back and forth while Hugo is blatently obvious about his criminal acts and Varian is trying to hide who he used to be. They don't even admit they like each other until the very end of their journey, and so they don't do much until they're settled into Corona. Hugo and Varian trade off on who is the dominant one in the bedroom and the kitchen, because Hugo is too determined to prove he's better than Varian to admit that Varian's cooking is way better. Varian humors his burning scrambled eggs because he loves him too much to tell him they taste bad.
Going by my own lore, Hugo and Varian are friends-with-benefits while Varian explores things in the bedroom with other people and Hugo internally screams about wanting him for himself and cursing convincing him that it was normal for scientists to have open relationship and free love.
In an AU where Hugo meets Varian while he's a villain, maybe got caught trying to steal from the castle when Varian was in charge, he would probably start off strip-searching him to make sure he didn't take anything and then interrogate him with truth serum and then convince him to "stick around" to try to get Hugo's boss "Donella" to "come for a visit". He would flirt with him and, if he's an adult in this AU, totally seduce him into banging.
Nuru:
Honestly, I have never actually thought of them being together in any way but platonically. Maybe that will change, eventually, but right now I don't have any ideas.
Yong:
Not a single shippy idea for these two. Absolutely none. I ship Yong with Kiera and that's it. No one else.
Faith:
Varian and Faith first met when Varian was working on chores for Cassandra and they bonded over frustrating adults and living up to the expectations and dealing with disappointments from their family. During Varian's criminal stint, Faith spoke in his defense until her mother told her to stop, for her family's sake, and later helped Varian with the takeover.
When Varian is Royal Engineer, she supports him by bringing him snacks so he doesn't have to leave his important work to get food and they grow closer and he asks her out one day, which she is flustered about but agrees. Rapunzel catches wind of it, "helps" makes the day "special" and while Rapunzel is cleaning up the mess, they sneak off to have an actual private first date.
They go on several dates for a year before Varian asks her to marry him and she accepts.
As a married couple, they're both doting parents and Varian is a doting husband both in and out of the bedroom.
Vex:
Aside from them meeting briefly in TREL, I haven't thought of how things might go for them as a couple.
Willow:
No. Absolutely not.
Arianna:
Canon-wise, I could see him getting together with her after Frederic passed away to spite his grave. I don't see him actually having romantic feelings for her, especially if he's a villain.
For other situations, see "It's a Deal, Then" and there's mention of them being in bed together in "The Love Doctor" but, again, not romantic.
Gothel:
No. No, I'm sorry, I can't, I just can't. I try, all I see is her in a mother-figure role to him. It's not happening.
Zhan Tiri:
Zhan Tiri would approach him in disguise to try to take advantage of him, either for his alchemy or the Moonstone.
The four sisters with red hair who like to braid:
I have not and will never ship them with Varian. Ever.
Oh, we've got some crossover stuff here.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III:
…No. I don't ship it. At all. Aside from daddy issues and inventing, I don't see them actually finding anything in common. But, then, it's been a while since I watched the movies/series.
Dipper Pines:
Dipper and Varian would absolutely nerd out and get into trouble together and spend time together, and then Dipper starts catching feelings and chewing his shirt and Rapunzel gets it out of him and bullies him into confessing to Varian.
Once dating, they pretty much do the same stuff as before, but there's kissing involved and some screwing.
Mabel Pines:
Mabel would start off picking Varian as her new Crush-of-the-Week but realizes after a while that it's not a crush, and he likes her back, and she starts to panic because she has commitment issues and she starts hiding from him and Dipper talks sense into her and she starts actually dating Varian, but she wants to "take it slow" because commitment is scary to her.
Hiro Hamada:
Weird to put this here and not Gideon, since I have never, not once, written anything with Hiro or Hiccup, but okay.
I think they'd be cute friends, but I don't really see Hiro being into romance. Maybe it's just me, but he's always seemed to be disinterested in that kind of thing. But then, I've never seen the series. Maybe he falls in love with someone. Dunno. Honestly, I don't know enough about Hiro to think of anything.
Did that answer your questions well enough?

For the character bingo:
RWBY: Torchwick
Kingdom Hearts: Axel
Sonic the Hedgehog: Amy Rose
Tangled the Series: Eugene
These are all characters I adore, so this will be fun.
First off, Roman Torchwick! I'll elaborate on anything I feel like elaborating on below.
Tumblr media
This is one of two characters in RWBY that I've put a lot of thought into them and why they do what they do. I've invented an entire past, relatives, father figures, ex-partners, a semblance, ways he coped with his trauma, what songs he loves the most... I did too much thinking about Roman Torchwick. XD
The funny thing is that one of the things I've projected onto the character of Roman is the tendency to project onto people. Once while I was writing Roman to get into a fight with Mercury, I had Roman project his own tendency to project onto Mercury while Emerald was calling him out for projecting.
Canon isn't real if I don't look at it is basically how I live my life. And in my head, Roman survived the Fall of Beacon, teamed up with Emerald and Mercury, found Neo, and all of them started on a lengthy and difficult road to redemption.
I love writing for bastards and Roman is a great one. I just said I liked to imagine him going down a lengthy and difficult road to redemption, but I can't write him to be a 'nice' person, because Roman is at his most fun if he's able to sling insults or make fun of people or have fits of rage.
Now for Axel, formerly known as Lea!
Tumblr media
By 'I am so normal about them,' I of course mean I am not normal at all. I adore Axel and flip my lid every time I get to see him.
I've written fanfics specifically centered around most of the Organization members, so I have tons of headcanons about the whole of the Organization. But tbh, especially Axel.
I put in that if anything happened to him, I would cry, because after all Axel’s been through, isn't he entitled to some happiness with his children Roxas and Xion? I think so!
Now for my girl Amy Rose!
Tumblr media
She really is a beast. You guys, Amy can fuck people up! This is especially clear in the IDW comics. And I haven't read lots of the other kinds of comics outside of IDW, but I do have this Sonic Select comic where Amy is getting in a fight with I think Eggman and Shadow and Knuckles are there and she's like "you know what, I don't even need to do it myself" and has Knuckles and Shadow beat stuff up for her. I love her so much.
Not to get too into some drama, but sometimes people tend to just disregard Amy completely. I know she was invented to be a Sonic obsessed 'would be girlfriend' who gets Damseled all the time, and that's obviously pretty sexist, but at this point, Amy (especially in the IDW comics) has had a lot of advancement and some people still tend to treat her like a useless airhead. Also some Princess Sally fans make fun of her and I think that's... Lame.
The ‘they are so silly’ is more about Amy in things like Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2 and even up to Sonic 2006. Because she was very silly, but I still absolutely loved her.
Now onto my boy Eugene Fitzherbert!
Tumblr media
Honestly, he is such a goofball and I love that. He's also so good because he actually doesn't take himself super seriously all the time and can joke around and take and give some ribbing.
His first look in the series is pretty much just his look from the movie but with a black vest, but the season two look is great. Aaaand my favorite look is his purple look with the jacket! And the captain of the guard stuff looks so good too! Eugene just serves looks all the time.
Sometimes fandom people can be mean, but not the whole fandom. Lots of people like him, but there are some people who hate him because he gets in the way of their favorite character or ship, and that's fair (I've hated characters for that very reason,) but some of them then search for ways to justify that hate and it gets extreme and irrational.
But yeah, so those are my bingo answers, thanks for sending these!

OUBLIETTE [chapter 5]
The moment Light writes in the death note he becomes a killer, but he could not become Kira without L. (L/Light, slow burn — Yotsuba Arc with all the mind-games intact)
~~~chapter 5~~~
In which L and Light spend time together. (For science. Obviously.)
(read on ao3)
February 2, 2004. For acing the university entrance exams, you get as a graduation present a mechanical-wind Omega Speedmaster. Known as the "moonwatch," it's the official watch used by NASA astronauts on their missions. It can hold up to extremes of pressure and temperature, acceleration and shocks, acoustics and humidity. Buzz Aldrin (Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.) wore it on the very first moon landing, while Neil Armstrong (Neil Alden Armstrong) left his inside the lunar module to serve in place of a malfunctioning electronic timer.
When you were a boy you'd always wanted to fly, and the idea of being an astronaut—seeing what Aldrin called the "magnificent desolation" of the moon and being able to look down at the whole earth as though it were a globe, precious and remote, inspired you deeply.
Soichiro gives the watch to you. Every time he comes home lately he looks more haggard, and since New Years it's been worse. You don't know what's going on in the task force anymore, since the case files on his computer stopped being updated, but you blame Kira. You can't stop looking at the shimmer of plexiglass over the black surface, and every day you wind the watch up and hear the soft click, click, click when you turn it in time to your heartbeat. It is the sort of watch that should be treated gently but you open up the back to look at the mechanism, trying to figure out how to fix the broken chronograph dial.
« No one would suspect an expensive watch of having a secret compartment. You have to cut the open back with the chop saw in the lab at school, add a sliding panel on a spring mechanism, and connect the mechanism to the chronograph pin, sacrificing that aspect of the watch's usefulness. It takes hours of work and the inside is messy but it holds a piece of the Death Note. When you are finally finished all it takes is pulling the pin four times (the number of death) for the compartment to slide smoothly open, and you grin in private amusement at a joke between no one but yourself. Unless it was sent to a watchmaker or taken apart by the police, no one would suspect a thing. Your watch is entirely brilliant and entirely unique. »
—You are not a watchmaker, though, and all you can figure out is that there's something wrong with the pin, but you aren't going to send it to be serviced right after you got the damn thing. It's not as though you need that functionality anyway; the watch still works perfectly fine.
When you were sixteen and Sayu was thirteen she had stomped her way into your room and flung herself moodily on your bed. You had been playing Mario Golf and Sayu sighed loudly a few times before you paused the game and looked over at her, setting down the controls. "What is it?" you'd asked, with the upbeat, helpful patience of a big brother. It was a false front, moreso than usual, and it had been for a while. Perhaps it was just growing up, but you'd found puberty to be a disappointment. Everyone in school was even more obsessed about who was going out with whom, and even in high school your classes weren't particularly difficult. Juku, cram school, was better, since you could take advanced classes there, but even that didn't settle the restlessness under your skin. People your age were finding peers to go out with and talking about their crushes like it was somehow the most important thing in the world. You've dated a few girls, like any decent person, but felt the whole time as though it were the most pointless, boring endeavour; no different from going out with friends except that it was supposed to mean something, as though prettiness could ever win out against intellectual stimulation.
In the meantime, the news just kept getting worse. In 2000, two years ago, the Scymitar oryx (Oryx dammah) became extinct in the wild.
Did anyone else notice how death had become such an unbalanced thing? Did anyone else realize how humanity trampled the world? Laws, and customs, and fairness were a fake, and nobody ever learned. The judicial system would rather a hundred guilty people go free than falsely convict one innocent person, public prosecutors deferred 60 percent of cases in order to pursue only the ones certain to end in indictment, and all to keep their reputations and their jobs, upholding the shining public face of the law with its 99.9 percent conviction rate. Everything your father worked for in gathering evidence and apprehending criminals—all you are working for—so easily tossed aside.
"I can't believe I got a pink belt for my birthday," Sayu said, pulling you from your dark thoughts. "Does kāsan even know what I like?"
She threw the offending item before you, and you couldn't stifle a grin. Sayu would wear belts occasionally but she wasn't a fan of pink, and the metal buckle, shaped like two crossed infinity symbols, was too gaudy.
"Sorry," you said, and when she rolled your eyes you grinned wider. "I bet it would look good on me though."
"What?" Sayu complained, half-laughing. "It's a kid's belt, it wouldn't even fit you!"
"I bet it would. I'm pretty skinny." Just to demonstrate, you showed her, pulling off the belt you were wearing and then threading it through and buckling it, striking a pose.
"Oh my god onichan, you look ridiculous," Sayu said, snickering.
"I could start a fashion trend with this crap."
"Of wearing your little sister's clothes?"
"Hey, as long as no one knows where it came from…"
You've always looked good in the colors of the sun.
L's plan to stalk you through your college classes actually lasts only two weeks, the great detective vanishing back into seclusion on April 18th, 2004, when Sakura TV airs the Second Kira's tape and it's discovered the copycat only needs a face to kill. It's not till the 24th, though, that you see the tapes, and even though you hate Kira, it's hard not to be angry on his behalf when this impostor is so obviously muddying his ideals and all in all coming across as a complete amateur.
April 16, 2004. It's Friday, after your last class of the day, and you want to get home as soon as you can, but Ryuga has fallen into step beside you. "You're in a hurry, Yagami-kun," he says.
"It's the weekend," you remind him.
"And, like all students, you're very excited about the prospect," Ryuga says drily. "I understand. Are you planning to go out with friends, or to work on some hobbies?"
"I'd help with the taskforce, if there was anything I could do," you point out. "But as far as I know there hasn't been any movement in the case. What are you planning to do?"
Ryuga ponders for a long moment, actually stopping short to stare blankly ahead of him. You walk on a few more paces and then catch yourself, turning back and waiting.
"...Eat strawberry shortcake," Ryuga says, with an air of having decided on something extremely important. He starts up walking again at a fast pace, and you hurry back into step, feeling annoyingly as though you're the one pathetically trailing after him, and not the other way around.
"What, all day?" you ask, with a laugh in your voice. It's the fake kind of laugh; the kind of laugh that ought to tell Ryuga you're condescending to him.
"Nonsense," Ryuga says. "It does not take all day to eat strawberry shortcake."
Ryuga—if he really is L—is smart enough to pick up on the glaringly obvious, and if you were forced to guess, he's lived in Japan at some point in the past. Even if he sometimes seems to truly miss social cues, he'd have to be illiterate not to pick up on color-coded, gendered marketing in restaurants and grocery stores.
Honestly, it doesn't matter if you've met a few women who aren't into desserts (even your own sister), the point is, liking them is a women's thing and yet Ryuga plays it up. You honestly couldn't care less if Ryuga secretly likes cake, but to ask him point blank what he's planning to do tomorrow on the weekend and for him to announce this… there's no way he wouldn't realize this sounds immature, freakish, and effeminate. What does he think his play is here…?
"So?" you pry. "What else are you planning to do?"
"Yagami-kun is very interested in my plans," Ryuga says smoothly.
"Admit it," you say, with some glee, "you're just going to go back to wherever it is you hang out all day and do absolutely nothing."
"Then we are in the same boat," Ryuga admits.
You're actually busy this weekend, busy « writing in the Death Note » resting and sleeping in, but it's not exactly like that would impress him.
"Yeah, I guess."
Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that the next day at the ungodly hour of four o'clock, he calls your personal cell.
"Ryuga," you say, with feeling, "I hate you."
"This is the perfect time to go into the city," Ryuga says. "Traffic at this hour will be greatly reduced."
You roll over, squinting into the early morning glare between your drapes. "I'm not going into the city with you."
"...Because you're Kira?"
"Because I'm tired."
"You're also awake," Ryuga points out. "And I'm new to the area. I need someone to show me around."
"You're kidding me."
"I'll meet you at the station," he says, and hangs up.
« From the corner of the room, Ryuk is laughing at you. You bury your face in your pillow and stifle a scream.
"It seems like L's taken a fancy to you," Ryuk says.
"The only thing he's taken a fancy to is seeing me tortured by sleep deprivation," you growl. You stand up and grab whatever clothes are nearest, too tired and angry to care too much about the impression you'll make, and lock yourself in the bathroom for a record six minutes to get ready, not even bothering to brush your hair. Then you sit down at your desk, carefully pry the false cover off your Death Note with your pen cartridge, and, turning the TV volume off, play back the news you'd taped yesterday. Even one or two names will make this whole horrible turn of events worth it. There's a kind of calming satisfaction in knowing your perfect penmanship will wipe out another bit of the rot from the world. You set the time of deaths for two criminals for later today and tomorrow, respectively. »
On the train, you and Ryuga decide to go to the National Museum of Nature and Science. It's free for students, after all. There's a special exhibition on video games and digital science which you go to first, « Ryuk literally bounces with excitement and starts begging for the gameboy advance SP. The silver version. You have a terrible feeling you'll have to actually buy it for him » then one on the science and art of Star Wars, which Ryuga insists he's never seen.
"You've got to be kidding me," you say. "Everyone's seen Star Wars. Surely you saw it when you lived in Britain…?" you add, blatantly fishing for more information on his past.
"I was too busy playing tennis," Ryuga says blandly. He looks, unimpressed, through the costumes and concept art, the detailed matte paintings and revolutionary CGI technology, and says, "anyway, it doesn't look that interesting."
You're fuming when the two of you leave the exhibit. Not because you're any particular fan of Star Wars, but just because of Ryuga and his annoying habits. It's nearing lunchtime, and you haven't even stopped for breakfast.
You try to think of a way to tell Ryuga this will never, ever happen again. Maybe you need to make some college friends after all.
Of course you end up near the dinosaurs at one point. Their skeletons are primordial things, looming over you and everyone else. « It might be grand and unsettling, if you hadn't had Ryuk constantly looming much closer for four months. The shinigami makes faces at the dinosaurs and flies up round them while » Ryuga stares, wide-eyed. He puts his thumb against his teeth.
"Did you know, some people think dinosaurs had feathers…" he says, apropos of nothing.
"That would definitely be strange," you say. You can picture it. Actually, it wouldn't be half bad.
"I assume you want to go to the exhibit about space development in Japan," Ryuga says, tearing his gaze away from the ancient bones.
"Not really," you say.
"Nonsense," Ryuga says. "Only someone who was interested in space development would wear a moonwatch. Unless you're just a watch connoisseur—?"
You move one hand, aborted, to your watch, self-conscious for a moment, and laugh. "You got me there. Yeah, I'm into space stuff. We might as well take a look at it."
Halfway to the exhibit, Ryuga says, "oh. I see."
"What?"
"Now I understand Yagami-kun's anger when I didn't like Star Wars. 'A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…'" he quotes the plaque that had explained the plot to those few people who'd grown up under a rock, like Ryuga.
"That's just a movie," you say. "It has nothing at all to do with astronauts."
You are still trying to convince him of this when the two of you leave the museum to find somewhere to have lunch, though your passionate defense of the difference between serious science and cowboy movies in space don't seem to make much of a dent on his insistence that he's discovered a new facet of your personality.
"I'm surprised," you say jokingly, when Ryuga actually goes for sushi, "You're not in the mood for dessert?"
"No, I am," Ryuga says, around his bite of rice and fish that he carefully dabs in wasabi, "but it's not every day I know the sushi is trustworthy. It seemed worth commemorating."
"I think a lot of people would be offended, hearing that."
"Oh. I just meant gluten disagrees with me."
"Huh?"
"Food with wheat flour in it," Ryuga explains. "Bread, pastries, cake, noodles that aren't rice noodles, you know. And soy sauce…" he adds, with a sad sigh. So soy sauce has wheat in it? Maybe that does explain a lot about Ryuga's weird eating habits, people put soy sauce in pretty much everything.
"But didn't you say you were gonna eat strawberry shortcake today…"
"Private catering," Ryuga says. "Different recipes. Just in case you were wondering, I said 'disagrees with me,' not 'gives me a deadly reaction,' so you can't get rid of me that easily."
"Come on, you seriously think I'd consider poisoning you?" you complain.
"Mm, you're the one who brought it up," Ryuga says. He raises a finger. "Wait a moment." He roots around in his pocket and pulls out a phone, which baffles you until halfway into the conversation. When he hangs up, he announces that one of his contacts has discovered a theater doing a marathon of the trilogy this afternoon.
"You didn't seriously use up investigation resources on finding out if anyone was showing Star Wars today," you say, because you have to. Ryuga doesn't answer, because of course he has. So you go.
He buys tickets for both of you at the gate, and you start to realize you've spent all day in his company at this point. It surprises you, because you'd almost expected to spontaneously combust of resentment if you'd ever had to spend any prolonged period of time in his presence. You hate him with an incredible vehemence, but somehow the hours have still flown by faster than they had since « you were first writing in the Death Note » the Kira investigation first started.
Your seats are at the very front of the theater, and Ryuga toes off his shoes immediately and crouches on the seat. In the dark, no one is paying you any mind, no one is paying attention to Ryuga's weirdness and so you don't have to care about it. It doesn't really bother you, when you are alone. Sometimes even when you aren't alone, hard enough as that is to fathom. Ryuga has a way of making you forget why you spend so much time thinking about how society perceives you, as though there wasn't a need to be perfect.
As the yellow words begin to scroll across the screen, you remember, suddenly, that you'd never ended up brushing your hair.

Invincible Episode 8 Review
Finale Spoilers!!!!!!
The good...?
I respect that Mark just straight up punched him
Eugenics? I'm not surprised. I knew the Viltrimites were fucking nuts and colonizers! I fucking called it!
Lucky you sick fuck?
Shit, are the other Viltrimites coming???
Nolan, you raised a human, not a killer.
You shouldn't have raised Mark among humans, jackass!
Please choke-
*gasps* a PET??!!! Straight up, FUCK YOU NOLAN!
"I will not calm down!"
It's only been 5 mins, shit-
Yeah, how is Mark supposed to beat Nolan? He's gonna die
Thank you Rudy for the title card intro. That thing is bloody
What a dense motherfucker. You didn't raise a sociopath, Nolan! It's too late to change that.
One, I saw that coming. Two, why the fuck is Cyborg voicing every black character??? Hire other people, PLEASE!
JESUS! Poor Mark....
I can tell he's going to go through a lot of physical pain in this series...
This is horrific...
*retches* Heroic BSOD or Rage fight?
Of course, Nolan is abusive. It's his fault my ass
HOLY SHIT THAT IS TRUAMATIZING! MARK, I- I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!!!!
They really emphasized Mark's butt as Nolan beats him. Why?
I'm actually tearing up. This is horrible
Ya'll need to help him. Fuck off, Rudy. Go and help!
There he is.
Nolan's going to use Mark to destroy the whole planet...
I love the reality. Mark is beat
That "or die" line was the first time I saw J.K. Simmons shine through Nolan
Mark's just being beat for 20 mins straight.
He's always been like this. He's always been this shitty. How did Debbie not notice?
Nolan's a sociopath, hun.
Is he going to have a Dracula moment? I'm killing our boy
Those red eyes are consistent but really funny. It kinda ruins the tension.
You piece of shit
He just...left? Is he gonna come back?
I was right, Mark got bodied.
Love the effect of the copter blades with the medic scene.
I wanna drink too, man. Too bad I'm 20
How did Nolan become a threat? He lied.
I am truly, truly heartbroken for Mark and Debbie.
Ma'am you have no clue where Nolan went and there's a whole planet of even more sociopathic hims out there.
Cecil is actually a nice guy? She says very hesitantly
I love that Black Samson just walked over MG
Rex is right.
Awww. And she climbed up.
Nice song choice *tears up*
Two weeks? Nice heal rate.
Don't pull out I.V.s Mark
Gotta love a blank white room.
Cecil drinks his respect women juice
How the fuck? That's really fucking ingenious. Poison the water.
Yeah...I don't think the Viltrimites are just gonna leave Urath alone. They're coming and there's only one Mark.
Maybe that's why Nolan felt bad about Mark's powers. He felt worried for his son.
Still a piece of shit tho
Trauma, baby!
Poor Debbie...
Amber my love, just perfect!
Yay William and Eve! Friendship squad? Please say yes
Also, William cannot keep a secret, like at all.
They gonna fuck?
That's why Art sounds like the Joker...
William, shut up
Their faces when Mark whooshes away
The shade! Poor Eve
So he wears his suit under his clothes? Is he not hot?
It is Allen!
Little too late, Allen...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Allen.
Fuck yes! Takedown the space Nazis!
Yeah, is there a multiverse because Mark needs way more of him.
The Martians!
Doc Seismic is alive? Awww
Uh oh, those dudes didn't all die...
You cannot trust the U.S. government.
This setup was great!
Rating: Obviously a 10! Invincible's been renewed for 2 more seasons and I can't wait! This is one of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen pretty much every American cartoon that has existed since 1990. Fantastic, but I'll let my review above speak to my thoughts.
It's been nice talking and interacting with you guys. See you next season!
Edit: It cracks me up that this review is so popular since it’s just a stream of consciousness. I am appreciative, and I promise to write better ones when season 2 arrives.

This isn't very good and it isn't necessarily JUST jelsa, but I've been wanting to write fanfic based on this song forever. This has NOT been proofread just because I'm exhausted.
Again, isn't that good, but it's about family so...
Family, family (family) I go to war with my family (raah, raah)
Elsa would go to war for her family if needed. If Anna Kristoff, or her cousin Rapunzel,, or their best friends merida and Hiccup, or elsa's boyfriend, Jack, needed help she would absolutely turn into the thing she most hated. A monster. However, if it was to protect her family, she wouldn't care.
Ups and downs (up) Wrong or right, this family (yeah, hey)
Sure they had ups and downs, lots of fights. Elsa and Anna have had so many talks about the isolation both if the girls experienced. Jack and Elsa would always have their own fights as well, but nothing could separate them.
They think that we crazy (crazy) They say that we crazy, can't handle it (crazy, yeah)
Insults were being spread around Arendelle about Elsa Anna Jack and the rest of their family and friends, and how Elsa and Jack were freaks of nature. Of course none of it was true, but when Anna heard the rumors from their loyal citizens, she got angry. And when Elsa heard what they were saying about Anna and Jack, she almost went feral.
My back on the wall (back) Who I'ma call? My family (brrr)
Jack remembered one time, when he had first run into someone named Pitch Black, a long time ago, before he had met the Guardians, pitch's nightmares had him against the wall. He wasn't scared necessarily, but he knew he couldn't defeat them on his own. Later, around 200 years into the future, that was proven wrong. However, at the time he hadn't known his own strength. But who showed up? His girlfriend, Elsa. And she wasn't having it. She destroyed the mares, with some help from Jack obviously, but it didn't stop Jack from thinking about how hot she was in the moment.
We different (woo) We stick out (stick out) Wig out (wig out) Bug out (hey) Pop out (ooh) Hop out (go) Ball out (hey) Show out
The family knew they were different. Elsa had Ice powers, just as her boyfriend, Anna married someone who wasn't noble, Rapunzel was the lost princess who used to have magical hair, Hiccup was a viking, and merida was a princess who refused to marry and turned her mother into a bear. Their flaws were all people saw. But the family was still there for one another, no matter what.
Aye, this a party, let's not make a problem (no) Why you lookin' at me like you startin' somethin'?
Elsa was holding a ball for her family, the whole group was there. When everyone was there and accounted for, the party went on, however, the whispers started. Elsa glared at all the people who were gossiping about her family. "Excuse me?" Shr asked loudly to the gossipers. "Do you have something to share?" She asked again, a bit harsher. As the Queen, Anna had to pull elsa out of the trouble, but on her features, she was just as angry, maybe even more.
You should know it's not just me that you'd be wrongin' You wronged me so you better think twice
Later on in the ball, Anna wanted to announce something, so, she got up onto the stage where she had first seen elsa in full only 8 years ago. "Listen up everyone," she started a small speech. "I understand that my family and I have flaws, but if you choose to speak about us behind our backs, just know that you won't be hurting me, your queen, but you would also be hurting your former queen, two princesses from other lands, and a Viking chief," she listed. "So, I reccomend that you think twice before speaking ill of my family," she finished before she got down to go speak with her friends.
You shouldn't mess with me You don't wanna mess with me 'Cause if you mess with me You're messin' with my family (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Later that night, Rapunzel was strolling through the gardens. Her husband, Eugene had turned in and Anna, Jack, Kristoff, sven, olaf, Hiccup, merida, and elsa were all doing family game night. That's when someone came up behind her and threw her down. "You and your whole family will be gone soon," the mystery person stated before raising his fist to strike her. In a flash she pulled out a long sharp pin from her dress and backed him against the wall. "You shouldn't mess with me," Rapunzel stated with the pin pressing against his stomach. "Why not?" He chuckled before pushing her again. "Cause if you mess with me, you'll be messing with my family," she muttered before ducking out of the way as ice struck the man's head. As he fell to the ground in pain clutching his head, Elsa could be seen in a stance showing that she was the one who struck him. Eugene ran to Rapunzel. "Are you okay blondie?" He asked as he moved her brown hair out of her face. "I'm alright," she replied.
"Whi are you and what's the meaning of this?" Anna spoke sternly as kristoff had to physically hold her back from hurting the person. "I'm a prince from the Southern Isles. My brother has declared war on your kingdom after threatening my family. I had no choice." The man spoke. What he said looked to be true. He had firey red hair much like Hans, along with the skin tone. Anna and Elsa looked at one another with worry.
You might think that we all loco Aye-aye-aye Don't mess with my family But this family 'bout to go global We blowin' up
The small battle was forming, Elsa and Anna were wearing armor and their family and warriors were stood behind them Anna and Elsa walked up to hans who lead his own army. "You girls are insane. I have my own army now," he stated. "When you lose no one is ever going to remember who you were," Hans taunted. "Maybe, but when you lose, no one will let you forget," Anna replied. Hans glared before he walked back to his army.
They say that we mean (mean) They say that we rude (rude) They say we got problems (problems) But we say it's cool (we turning up) Family, family (family) I go to war with my family (raah) Ups and downs Wrong or right, that's family (uh)
"We cant let him win," Elsa stated as she walked back to her family with Anna. "And he won't. He's a bit of an idiot if he thinks he can defeat 2 winter spirits, a street smart princess and queen, a thief, a viking, a master archer, and an ice harvester, three of these people he has already lost to," Jack reasoned. "Then shall we?" Elsa smirked as she turned around, her ice blue cape flowing behind her white pats and light blue boots. "We shall," Anna replied.
Needless to say, the family won.

@weapon13whitefang:
I’ve been thinking about Judith calling herself Jude and how you thought of the song Hey Jude and the Beetles Apple Record. I don’t know why, but it made me dig my grandma’s records out and play the song. I flipped to side B and had an “Oh” moment because I had forgotten the song on the other side. It’s “Revolution”. Also known as Revolution 1 because there are 3 versions of this song that was written by John Lennon with Paul McCartney.
I’m a big fan of the Beetles so I love spilling some history on them. John Lennon started the song while he was in India. At the time, he was basically pretty detached from everything happening in the world around ‘68. Quick history for ya, but shit was wild. Student demonstrations were happening in Paris and it’s economy was backed into a wall on hold and there was fear of a civil war, Czechoslovakia threatened to destabilize the country and this caused the Soviet Union to send tanks to the streets of Prague, London had anti-Vietnam demonstrators in Grosvenor Square clashing violently with riot police and at least 80+ people were injured, Martin Luther King Jr and Robert Kennedy’s assassinations were still fresh press, and there were anti-war and civil-rights protests that had everyone on edge… The late 60s were tough.
Lennon was over in India, just mostly vibing and unaware of how deep the seeds of chaos were planted around him. He just believed “it will be alright, God will save us all” kinda thing going on. “Revolution 1” was a true show of how conflicted Lennon was. The lyric “Don’t you know that you can count me out/in” shows just how torn he was on his views and where to stand. There’s a secret revolution in TWD in Commonwealth that’s happening. And I think Daryl and Judith and the other ASZ/Hilltop/Kingdom peeps are going to be torn apart from it. Commonwealth has so far done a lot to keep them safe, which is Daryl’s focus for Jude and RJ. Norman even said in an interview that “Daryl’s choices are for the kids” because right now, they need him. He is gonna do what he needs to keep them safe. For Michonne and for Rick’s memory.
There’s cracks in Commonwealth’s set up and they have underground defectors squirming the underbelly. Those cracks are deeper than we know yet. We’ve seen hints, obviously, but what’s caused these cracks and what’s going on with them.
I don’t know, I’m not a connect the dot TDer as you know but something I just couldn’t shake. I’ve noticed TWD likes to use historical moments and outlines to play on their stories. Example with the civil war monuments we’ve seen and Eugene talking about Waterloo. Jude and Beetles just drew me here. Interested to see what you all think of this.
TWDMusicBoxMystery:
Yeah, I really like this. There's definitely a revolution theme that we've talked about before. We think they're using different battles and sequences and heroes from the American Revolution as templates for story lines. Other wars as well, as you mentioned above, but we've specifically noticed a Revolution theme.
So, having the record that references Jude, has a big green apple on it, and has the Revolutions song as well, can't possibly be a coincidence. Obviously that record was released long before TWD was a thing, but once again, I just think Gimple and Kang are using it as symbolism.
You could also connect the apple to New York (the Big Apple) and the fact that Maggie and Negan are headed there eventually. Perhaps the revolution will begin there. No way to know for certain.
I don't have a whole lot to add, but this is very interesting, and something we'll definitely keep an eye on. Thanks so much for your thoughts and for the historical context. Love it! Xoxo! 🍀💝

Ahahahahaha there IS a rami under the hat! anyway shitty quick sledgefu fic under the cut bc that was some brilliant inspiration right there - no beta or re-reads so this is rough lol. It's RIDICULOUS IMSOSORRY
Being a hipster in Orange County is exhausting. It's so hard to find good quality antique furniture these days. There's plenty of options, you can't cross town without coming across another vintage shop. And yet Eugene goes through three different shops with no luck. Here in sunny California, the odds of finding antiques are good, but the goods are odd.
Obviously a tried and true technique to weed out the good stuff is to observe fellow antiquing hipsters around you. And Gene's been watching the smartly dressed man at the end of the aisle for almost ten minutes. This man looks pretentious as hell, but he seems to know what he's doing. Unlike Gene, who couldn't tell an authentic colonial from a cheap pottery barn knockoff. Does Pottery Barn even make colonials? What is a colonial anyway? He thinks his mother brought it up in conversation once. Antiques are about the only safe discussion topic nowadays.
Anyway this smartly dressed man is examining something at the end of the row of shelves intensely. Eugene can't see what the guy is looking at, but it drives his curiosity insane. The guy even climbs onto a ladder so he can get a view of the object from above.
Eugene skirts his way around another row of shelves and casually steps closer and closer - coming at it so it appears unintentional.
Of course, the hipster guy on the ladder sees right through Gene. He turns his head arrogantly down towards Eugene and cocks it. Somehow, despite the odd angle, the guy's Madeline style hat stays on as if it's glued to his head.
"I gotta see it from all angles," the man announces, as if this were the answer to a question Eugene desperately needed answering.
"Huh," Eugene says.
The man smiles. It grows on his face like the Cheshire cat. And Eugene is fairly certain under the sunglasses his eyes are shrewd.
"Snaf get down from the ladder, the last thing we need is to be banned from another antique shop," a second man comes up to them carrying an old pair of boots. He glances at Gene and nods, "Hey. I'm Burgie...that man up there is Snafu."
Snafu slithers down from the ladder and lightly lands across from Eugene in the aisle.
"Nice to meet you," Eugene holds his hand out, "Eugene Sledge."
Burgie shakes his hand, "Pleasure." He then turns to Snafu and kicks the boots at his shoulder, "C'mon, I found what I needed, let's head out."
"Wait a sec, I haven't decided if I want this mod shelf for my records or not," Snafu gestures to the thing he'd been amiring.
"Okay," Burgie sighs, "But don't take too long, Im checking out." He takes his vintage boots and goes.
Eugene turns to get a good look at the thing Snafu was considering. And suddenly the heavens open up, god rays come down, light shines like a halo,and Eugene swears he hears a choir. This is it. This is the end piece he was looking for. This is exactly the kind of thing he needs for the "TV" nook in his apartment that will never hold a TV (he has a 24 inch laptop and like ALL the streaming services but he is SO above having a TV like some rich bourgeoisie).
"It's perfect, isn't it," Snafu says, noticing Eugene's sudden awe.
Shit. He noticed. That means Snafu's going to take it. Number one rule of climbing the hipster ladder: if someone else finds value in something you better get it first.
"I'm not sure, I think my mom has almost the exact same shelf system back home," Eugene shrugs, "She got it from, like, Ikea ten years ago or something. It was a whole thing. Super popular...'retro'...you know how it goes."
"Yeah," Snafu says. He sounds like he might eat Eugene up.
Eugene clears his throat awkwardly.
Snafu throws his head back and switches into appraiser mode, "You're wrong though. You can tell this is authentic by the wood paneling, and the 60s era joints, and this cantilevered bit right here."
Eugene's never wanted someone so much so suddenly right there.
"It'd be perfect for my record collection... It'll even look good from my lofted bed..." Snafu continues.
"I want it," Eugene states quickly and firmly.
Snafu's eyebrows raise at Eugene's audacity. "Well..." Snafu says. He slowly lifts his Janis Joplin sunglasses and eyes Eugene, "I was going to take the shelf but..." he grins "... I'll take you instead."
"What?" Eugene asks incredulously.
"Go on a date with me and I'll give it to you," Snafu demands, "Hell, I'll even buy it for you."
"I..." Eugene stutters. He can feel a blush already forming on his cheeks.
"Better say yes before I change my mind..." Snafu warns in an obnoxiously self-assured tone of voice.
"Yes!" Eugene blurts without hesitance.
The grin Snafu gives him outshines the glory halo from earlier.
Eugene blushes down to his toes. Maybe he should have...played it more casual or acted disinterested. He's not actually very good at this hipster thing.
On the other hand, he does end up getting a free shelf out of the deal. The only thing Snafu makes him do is give Snafu his number, carry the shelf out to his own car, and give Snafu a ride home.
"Burgie texted me, said he's already moved on to the next shop, but don't worry our apartment's real close by," Snafu explains.
"This shelf is insanely heavy," Eugene grumbles under the weight. He's questioning his purchase decisions.
"That's how you know it's real wood," Snafu scolds him.
"Can't you at least take a corner? Lighten the load a tiny bit?" Eugene asks.
"Naw," Snafu sits on the hood of Eugene's 1946 Chevy and smiles, "I like to watch the posers sweat."
Eugene rolls his eyes, "I'm getting an authentic 1960's shelf, and you're getting a date with a fake hipster. I think you got the raw end of the deal here."
"No way," Snafu assures him. He hops off the car and finally helps by opening the door and guiding the shelf onto the back seat, "I see this as an investment."
"An investment?" Eugene echoes.
"Yeah," Snafu says. He bumps the car door shut with his hip and gets into Eugene's space, swaggering a little, "The way I see it... In two... No.. One month... I'll have joint custody over this shelf. It'll be as good as mine. I just gotta wait patiently."
"You mean... You think..." Eugene stammer, ".... You think I will..."
Snafu's smirk widens and he leans in closer, and closer, as if he's gonna lay a kiss on Gene right then and there.
But he's interrupted by Burgie come running out the door, "Hey! Shelton, what the hell you charged that shelf to my account!"
"C'mon, time to go!" Snafu tells Eugene excitedly. He opens the driver door, grabs Eugene's elbow and manhandles him in. Snafu then vaults the car's hood and hops in through the open passenger window. "Drive!"
"Snafu, I'm never giving you any of Florence's homemade pop tarts ever again!" Burgie yells as Eugene's car peels away.
